Apprentice v4 upgrade help please

[ghackers]

Hi everyone,
I have a question about customising & upgrading my Apprentice v4 to have sound using an FX sound board.

As I live in the UK, I wanted help to sanity check what I wanted to do is ok.

Firstly, I would like to be change the pommel to the dark war glaive.. Will this fit my apprentice V4 hilt?

I would also buy a Guarded Momentary switch and 4x AAA Battery Holder/Speaker Combo. Is this all I need?

Also, please could someone confirm how to remove tips the latching switch, did it just unscrew?

Appreciate anyone's help.

Many Many Thanks!!
Gary

Yes, I can guarantee that the War Glaive pommel will fit the threads, though I recommend buying the v4 like normal and buying the war glaive pommel from the "build your own"  because It will give you more variety and because you may change your mind.

Would actually recommend the other 2xAA battery holder so you can stack the FX board on top of the battery pack. The motion and swing sensors will be much more accurate when placed closer to the pommel. You'd need to use 14500 lithium-ion batteries, so you'll also want to wire in a 5v regulator between the battery pack and sound board to prevent things from burning out.
