I don't think it's fantastic that the two biggest bashes are happening on the same day. This is most unfortunate

I was looking at those when i came across one fitted with WAL pick ups and a similar style pre-amp. That would be a fantastic buy. Gorgeous colour match body and neck. Well done sir. Dave

Go on then!

Not only suitable for, but it is metal!

Hats, bandanas and wigs off to Juliusz, owner, proprietor and pedal design guru of Blue Colander fame. His pedals are truly unique, boutique takes on famous, infamous and obscure pedals - not just clones, but improvements, rooted in great research, hours spent bent over a breadboard, ceaseless sourcing of components and painstakingly designing physical layouts that are great looking - and, obviously, even greater sounding. So far I have two pedals made by BC. Doppel is a Foxx Tone Machine adapted for doom and gloom. I have bought Doppel after falling in love with octave fuzz used with bass for that creepy, occult rock-style tone that immediately pushed all of the great-but-honestly-overused Muff stuff from the highest step of the podium for me. I wanted to get an Orange Fur Coat, but realized BC makes a similar pedal with an extra control (Jolt) that adds clean lows to the mix without compromising any of the dirt, so I had to get that one instead. Sadly, I literally bought the last brand new one ever available. Crooked Axis is a perfect "If I Could Only Have One Dirt Pedal" kind of deal - after all BC calls it "Multipurpose Gain Device". In December I realized I wanted a pedal to be put first in the chain, one that does a clean boost, tube-ish OD (either for separate Sabbath-esque blues use, or to push other dirt pedals), and even fuzz-like tones when dimed. I was dead set on getting EQD Blumes but all but one online stores around were sold out, and Thomann's shipping costs made it barely cheaper than Blue Colander's Crooked Axis which can do the same things and then some, and then even more, so I went with that. No regrets. The great thing is that Doppel can sound a bit cold on its own but Crooked Axis adds warmth and chugs to the tone without compromising its creepy sound. Here's a poor quality sample created on the fly and recorded with a phone (please do ignore the atrocious fret noise), first just Doppel in one of my favorite settings, then Crooked Axis sent into Doppel, pushing it to the chuggy glory: Blue Colander .wav I will try to substitute it with something else, of nicer quality, so far it always seems the my crudely recorded samples express what I want to showcase best. Anyone else can share some love for Blue Colander?

Although a Precision player, I would suggest MIJ for the consistent and excellent build quality, both of which represent terrific value for money. I have no doubt Jazz basses are just the same.

Thanks! Another recommendation: https://oceansize.bandcamp.com/track/walking-in-the-air It’s absolutely epic when the band kicks in.

I had to look up mn pots.

Broadband duly restored, even if the wiring for it has all but been condemned (full fibre to be investigated), and now I have recovered from opening the case, here is my new Overwater headless Progress. Feels completely at home in my hands and is a joy to play. Martin nailed the neck profile I wanted and I do love a headless bass. Thanks to Martin Lee, Chris May and everyone else involved in the building of this marvellous instrument. We will be very happy together for a long time.

They don't. The second vol control is out of the circuit in series.

Just don't open it

I had none at all for a couple of weeks. This one is back however. At the risk of doing their advertising for them -

Gone!

The pedals we have shipped come with the adapters too

I wasn't aware you would be getting any adverts

Thanks @Hellzero for your kind words. Glad you're enjoying it.

Very cool bass , apologies that this isn't what you're asking about but are you sure about refinishing a valuable vintage bass ? Is it one your keeping forever?, it's not my favourite colour either but it is very period
