Seems more complex according to this diagram:

Beautiful fretboard wood doesn't need spots on it. That bass looks so wonderful.

This French lady just jumped to my bed.

@neepheid It's nothing taxing Matt. Instead of pairing white/red as hot on the Vol pot you stick red on Tone pot lug 3. Just minded, I gutted one and stuck a preamp in it 🤣

cheers Mark , it’s lovely just needs playing -

Just seen this on a fBook thread: "I was just playing on my studio, as usual, suddenly I hear a few loud pops. a few minutes later, again but much worse and for longer, I look at the CQ-18T screen and it was like all the channels had very loud inputs and the screen was flickering..." Those symptoms seem pretty identical to what I've been getting. Which is kinda worrying that this might be a design flaw. However, he did follow up with this: "Update - I think I've found the issue!! I've moved some cables recently and I left one of the outputs cables running in parallel to a power cable. Once I re-organized the cables it didn't happen again." No idea what he meant by "running in parallel to a power cable" or whether that gives any wiser folk than me a clue as to what might be the cause?

I think I was referring to the electrically clever nature of it. Obviously too clever for me to implement (I hear you, I think it's (functionally) daft too)

Pernambuco French frog double bass bow. Nickel Silver mounted, fresh new white hair, Lovely balance and feel in the hand. Clear articulate and a great basic professional level bow for a bargain price. Ideal for theatre, shows, orchestral and particular great value for students or persons at the beginning of their career or music college. Chosen, tested and made to specification for a UK professional valued at £350 by glen titmus, however looking for a quick sale so open to offers.-

It was never clever. You have some tonal variation with the humbucker through positions 1 - 7. 8 - 10 is your single coil, with little variation. Dan Armstrong used the same method on his London guitar/basses around 1972, he quickly saw the folly in it so added another pot, 1 did the coil to ground and the other was the tone pot. I always snipped the red wires on mine, gave the humbuckers a slight boost plus you have more control over tone.

As I’d rather not take the hit of pxing I’d consider a Dingwall SP-1 five string, or a GR Bass combo or small cab in a trade plus cash, if anyone would like to swap? -
I owned this bass for a while and the build quality is exceptional. Glwts -
Bought new, kept it in pedalboard since forever. Actually I’m not even removing it until it sells don’t have the original box though (I moved between places since buying). It has 3M Dual Lock Velcro underneath, and naturally is in full working order. Wasn’t stomped much - I was usually engaging it through paired DMC Micro. And on rare occasions it was - it has the button cap! Highly recommended. I can post through Royal Mail Tracking24 for 5 quid or we can arrange local pickup in London-

It's a 14 year old thread but here's where it started: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/darkglass-pedals-are-going-to-be-made-in-the-usa-now.892646/ The relationship didn't pan out - don't know the specifics - but these Built in the USA units are Spencers redesigns. Anyway - great pedal (mine is still on my board). GLWTS! -
Getting The Good Gigs, Talent, Networking Skills or Personality?

The very last pub gig we did with our Renaissance-rock band was 18 months ago - as well as the usual early stuff we had a few of 20th century covers on the set list - Moonlight Shadow, Lightning Tree, All is Found, Meet Me on the Corner, etc. Once we'd played those the audience were asking for more songs that they knew. So we stopped taking any pub bookings as I'm not doing it as a job and I want to play music I'm interested in. We get fewer bookings, but they've been awesome - historic buildings, medieval fairs, etc. -
No idea where they’d gone. They are there now -

I once played a charity gig for extensions to a local church. It was for a dinner and dance at a local 5 star hotel. We went in for £1600 and got 'knocked down' to about £400 after the organiser laying it on thick. We found out tickets for the evening were £100 each. There was an auction of promises after the meal - it went on and on and on. We had been there at 5 to set up. The Auction made £20,000. We finally went on at 11:30, played for half an hour! That was about £60 each for 2 hours travel, 2 hours set up and pack down, 6 and a half hours sitting around and 30mins of playing. After that we were very careful to do our research for all gigs.

Hi. You LAST CHANCE at £1700 for 2 days only. Fantastic bass in tip top condition. Dont miss out ! Same for my Spector 4LT Rudy Sarzo £1700 for 2 days Here’s my 2010 USA Musicman Stingray 5HH in excellent condition. No damage or signs of wear apart from some really thin cobweb like lines on the pick guard which dont show in the photos even. ** Pick guard now polished so just very minimal signs of control knobs use. * ** Mini dimple on rear of body now drop filled and polished ! Jobs a good un ! ** Photos added at the end showing pick guard and rear of body with No Dimple 🤓! on the back of the body. My lamps make it look worse than it is, to be clear.So only a 9.9/10 for condition ! Excuse the conservatory roof reflections (the parallel lines) and there’s a palm plant too. Better light though. This bass plays both beautifully and thunderously depending on your preference with the 5 way pickup selector and powerful 3 band preamp. All the electronics perform perfectly. Everything works as it should and the alnico pickups give a rich variety of useable tones. It’s a very responsive and dynamic bass in tip top condition and priced accordingly. The frets have most of their depth left and were professionally dressed just after I bought it. See the close ups. They were polished today and I only had to use a little oil to clean the fretboard today so this bass is ready to do the business for you. New battery too. It has a lovely smooth and dark rosewood board. Shiny gloss black finish over the ash body. Nut width 44.6mm 66.6mm at 12th fret String spacing 17.5mm at the stainless steel saddles. D’Addario 40-125 roundwound nickels. Weighs 4.55kg , 10lbs 1/2 oz with the lighter original metal black knobs and 4.6kg, 10lbs 2oz with the chrome ones. Nicely balanced with a strap in either case. I’ve had it nearly 10 years but need to raise some funds now and recently got a 4HH Special so that can take over now. I bought it used in 2016 but it’s only had minimal home use in that time as my other basses need playing too. It’s all stock apart from the chrome knobs but I have the original black ones if you’d prefer them. Both photod. Price reflects the excellent condition and perfect working order. It includes the original Musicman Stingray 5 hard case and insured UK Mainland delivery costs but I will send it further afield if you contribute the charge beyond UK mainland. Thanks for looking.-

3.34kgs seems about right for a late 70s P. Once the neck and other hardware are added it could weigh around 4.5kgs / 10lbs.

Nope, as you would see the added MIDI volume and the two extra switches (blend and up/down) and the 13 pins out...
