The way I've dealt with a tuner made for a narrower hole than what I've got was by wrapping a few turns of masking tape around the tuner bit. Just until it fits snugly. The screws will ensure it stays solid. It's been ok for quite a few years now.

Yes, I've seen it too. It's a really lovely bass and top notch too however, unfortunately, my budget won't stretch to the price (plus costs to get it from Falkirk to Cornwall), hence focusing on the more affordable 425x

I've been using the Lekato/Joyo JW-06. It works on the 5.8GHz band. What I really like is that the holder is actually a USB-C rechargeable power pack, which can recharge the transmitter and receiver while in the box. The power pack itself is good for several charging cycles.

Many thanks guys for some great suggestions there and several Preamps/DI's I'd already considered. The Fishman in particular looked really versatile. From the videos I watched (and listened acutely with earphones to) I really liked the clean sound of the Melvin Lee Davis signature NUX NBP-5 MLD and there was one left at Andertons for £140, so I plumped for that one and got some further discount with my Andertons Points. Will report back when I've gigged it with the Duo and tested it fully...

Should be working now, Dave.

I've got a couple of those Two10 speakers, before the impedance switch was offered. The label is as on this one, but both of mine are 4 ohm, not 12. I guess they made the panel to show both, with the idea of covering one of the labels accordingly, but they didn't. Definitely something to check before use.

Yes, this is an annoying 'feature' - at practice volume in the house, the DI output is very low level - the Master Vol should be at the input of the Power Amp not before the EQs

On a combo like this the tone stack is mostly compensating for the speaker/cab so any setting that doesn't take this in account is not particularly useful. The OP would probably be better off getting rid of this combo and buying that has been properly designed.

It looks like somebody got tired of the tolex peeling out. They had some issues in the beginning.

For bridges like this, threadlock is your very good friend...

Belper! I'm like you - was living on a narrowboat and put in at Willington theoretically for a winter. That was fifteen years ago.

I have one that a friend is trying to sell to me. It's an R Moreno 531. It's gorgeous. It's been sat in my studio since the last time I saw him. I will end up buying it! There's lots of little builders of classical guitars.

I use a Fishman Platinum Pro. Has a great DI, excellent one knob compressor, adjustable boost (triggered by footswitch), accurate tuner, mute function (on a footswitch) and a very nice EQ with HPF, plus some other useful features. There's one for sale here: The Platinum Stage is also excellent if you just need the eq, DI and boost features in a tiny package. There's tons of bass preamps available nowadays, not many have all the features I need but the Platinum Pro ticked all the boxes. Eliminated the need for a pedalboard with separate tuner and compression and I just take that one single box to gigs now. Bass Direct also have a used Genzler Magellan in at the moment: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/genzler-magellan-preamp-di-pedal-pre-owned/?gQT=1

Hello there! Having only lived here for thirty seven years, I must confess to being a blow-in. I love the county and its surroundings. I knew it was the place to settle within a couple of hours of arriving. North Derbyshire is invigorating. Where are you?

I t can be done relatively easily with a round biscuit tin with an incandescent lightbulb in the centre. I have a friend who has made several banjo and camp uke bodies this way.
