Highly tempted to get some pretty wood and have a bash at making something like this for my ABG. I've got some marine plywood with quite highly-figured top plies... hmmm...

In the absence of any firm interest (apart from trade offers) I am going to withdraw this. My other basses (Spector Ian Hill and Shergold Marathon) are wearing rounds and great for pick-based rock, this offers something different with flats. Edit: above logic doesn't really apply as my Marathon is now wearing TI flats!!!! Going to re-list this

Under "breakages" I have ordered a new volume pot. The old one crackles like mad amd no amount of Servicol switch cleaner will resolve. It's going to be a bit of a mission to replace as the new pot isn't a straight swap. The old one is soldered to the preamp board and is much longer. This one will have to be fitted to the bass body and have extension wires to the preamp.

This. Over my many years of playing I’ve found that if I am really into an instrument I will find a way of playing it that works, and if it’s not doing it for me I just won’t play it. Doesn’t matter about the string spacing or pickups if I enjoy it I’ll adapt my playing to make it work. Over time, and some that may be months or years, I’ll work out where I want to go next and for me that’s been a lifelong journey involving 4 strings 5 strings fretless etc but bottom line is that I have a bass that I WANT to play every day and that’s the best instrument you can aspire to. IMO.

Tart up the old cab to put the original drivers back in when you upgrade the new ones - should get you a few quid back.

Settling with my Anagram and found a NAM profile(Tech21 Red Ripper) that can do something similar so this one must go. Bought from the US including postage and customs. Paid more than my selling price. Only thing missing is the pink paper packaging wrap, won’t affect the tone though 😂 Cash is king! But can part exchange for a Cali Bass Compressor v2 in silver. Any questions, feel free to message me.   Chad

J-Retro with Precision and Musicman pickups
Stofferson replied to Beedster's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Mate My alpha is not too far from your set up Although its a Nordy Bigman + NP4A (reverse P) with a uni pre as opposed to the J-retro. works a treat, off the top of my head there are gain trims for each pup, as well as giving it a good go over on pup heights etc, Does it work? hell yes! -
I’ve tried some like that and quite like them generally I find they make the bass lean too far backwards and/or ones designed for holding acoustics have feet that are too wide and stick out

Have you seen the new Hercules that come with extra rings that fit on the grab to make it narrower?

I have a couple of these in the living room. One for guitar and one for a mandolin. They’re nothing special but they are nicer than normal guitar stands. They come in two parts, so they pack down nice and flat. And they’re only £12.99. I love the grabby Hercules stand but it won’t take my favourite bass (not tall enough) nor my favourite guitar (the Telecaster headstock not being wide enough).

What can I say about this pedal that hasn't already been said? Super cool and unique filter used by Flea and lots of other people. No other filter I've come across sounds quite like this little green beast, and it also does the famous "dub trick" of turning your bass into a subby monster by turning off the sensitivity so the filter doesn't open. It's been well used in it's ~30 year lifetime with a few bumps and scrapes in the finish, but all is working as it should. Somehow the notoriously "difficult to keep hold of" battery door is still intact on this one! No velcro, and rear sticker with serial number still intact also. Really cool pedal that I owned a number of years ago, and wanted to revisit it out of nostalgia! I've had my fun with it here at home, and now it's time to pass it on. Boss to 3.5mm power adaptor included. Looking for exactly what I paid for it from here a few weeks ago: £60. Add a £5er for delivery, or can be picked up from Ickenham NW London.

Get another one in before work. This is the complete Hans Glawischnig performance of the tune 'Hola' from the 2019 Miguel Zenon album, 'Sonero: the Music of Ismael Rivera'. Not that challenging although you will need to concentrate as there are a couple of trip hazards. The arco section in the middle is difficult to place as it relates to the sax part so is kind of 'rubato'. https://bilbosbassbites.co.uk/hola-miguel-zenon/

Job lot of Lava Tightrope Solderless cables. 28 cables of varying in length from approx 2 inches to 2 feet, plus 1 long (2ft ish) George L's cable that I found in a drawer that i'll throw in. Most worked fine the last time I had them on a board, some probably need to re-assembled (haven't got the time to test them all at the moment). A couple scraps of used cable that can be trimmed/reassembled into new cables, and one purple bit of cable that has never been used. These are super simple to put together, there's plenty of videos on YouTube of the process. Will include one of the cable stripping tools as well. £200 + postage for the lot. The current Lava cable sets are £60 for 10 jacks/5 cables, so this is a pretty good deal.

I'm building an interesting fretless and am thinking about a circuit to go with the MM and P-Bass pickups (Nordy Big Splitman and NP4A respectively). I'm wondering what folk's experience has been with a J-Retro with either type of PUP, not necessarily the Nordies in partisular. I'm also interesting in whether there might be any issues using MM/P-Bass PUPs through an active circuit e.g., balance/interaction between the two?

I just ordered a new pedal board and a power supply will be coming next week too. So I suppose I'm out too now.
