  5. Best amp I’ve ever played. Can’t afford, probably don’t need, but boy I wish I could get it! GLWS
  6. Thanks for that, but I'm after something a little longer (matron!)
  7. I have one of these and they really are excellent! Si
  8. Sometimes a screw or nail is used in the neck pocket when a body is being refinished on the rear part; they likely would have used an existing screw hole by the bridge as well, but the existing neck pocket screws are large, hence the new hole.

  10. apparently after digging around it was a phase 90. However I'm going with the blood moon phaser. Sounds best to my ears
  11. apparently there was some sort of issue with google yesterday ,meaning cloudflare went odd 🙄
  12. Very nice indeed, congrats, they really are a fantastic jazz and the necks are superb, I wouldn’t be without mine
  13. This is the one. The blurb. The bass: It’s the bedrock of any performance, demanding nothing short of tonal excellence. Enter ReVolt Bass, a forward-thinking all-analog 3-channel Amp Sim primed to serve as the beating-heart of your rig. The latest-iteration of Two notes’ critically- acclaimed Amp Sim solutions has been engineered with a singular mission: to empower players with the ultimate in foundation tone. Forget any preconceptions of a run-of-the-mill amp-in-a-box, preamp or DI: ReVolt Bass stands-apart. It’s inspired by a trio of iconic tones; It’s fuelled by 200V and genuine tube power; It’s born to assimilate into a myriad of usage scenarios; it gives you edge when you need it, thanks to an integrated Drive Channel Dry/Wet Blend

  15. MOD’s please can you post this post and insert it in the correct place Thanks
  16. Our drummer was ill so she couldn't make it, but the keyboard/singer and I went ahead. Went over most of the existing songs and I realised I should have done more practicing while we've not been rehearsing, and also did a couple of run-throughs of two new songs, one of which he'd written years ago and the other that he'd just written. Both went pretty well, which was nice.
  17. This one has been a long time coming. I first started to desire a Deluxe/Elite/Ultra when I played one shortly after the 2012 model launched. Then the Elite launched in 2016 and that had to be the one. This decision was cemented further when the Ultra 2 came out in the last year or so with its cost-saving 'skunk stripe' neck. Spec wise. the natural Ash Elite always seemed to be the pick of the bunch. So I recently bought Freddie's Elite from the BC Marketplace - he did a very good job of very carefully repairing the drill damage [from a previous owner where a bridge cover had been added] with wood filler, so the holes aren't nearly as visible now. Playing-wise, this Elite is a monster Jazz. The preamp only needs a slight touch over the centre detent on the treble/bass controls to be perfectly punchy. It has all the tone of my 2012 FSR hand-stained American Standard with a lot more power behind it. I'm impressed. So I've set it up to my tastes and added some new 40-95 Elixirs. Enjoy the pics
  18. The excellent FEA OptiFET Bass Compressor. In excellent condition. Now discontinued and becoming super collectible and rightly so! This is an excellent compressor and deserves some love, price includes UK postage. The Info/bumpf The FEA Opti-FET Compressor is designed with both audiophile and studio quality features that many musicians enjoy. The new audio path has been redesigned with the FEA 3S output amplifier circuit for warm tone and excellent noise rejection that features a “class A” FET output driver. The 3S amplifier utilizes an audiophile grade Texas Instruments™ (formerly Burr-Brown™) SoundPlus™ operational amplifier and a class-A Fairfield™ FET driver for outstanding performance. The operational and FET driver amplifiers are integrated in a unique way to take advantage of the favorable qualities of both types of amplification. This 3S amplifier has selectable modes of operation for a clean or warm tone. The warm tone mode was modeled to match the tone of the original OPTI-FET circuit. The input stage is a high impedance CMOS, hi-fi amplifier buffer with internal RFI protection. The input amplifier has been designed to have minimal signal distortion and noise, with maximum headroom for all input signal levels. Another feature in the FEA OPTI-FET Compressor is the extensive side-chain control which is not commonly found in most pedal type compressors today. Like many quality studio rack compressors, the OPTI-FET compressor has all of the common controls available to the user to accurately shape his or her tone. Along with the full feature set of side-chain controls, a three band equalizer is available. This EQ only affects the amplitude of frequencies of the signal in the compressor control circuits. This EQ allows the user to modify the threshold setting by frequency band. The OPTI-FET compressor also has a side-chain loop feature, similar to many rack compressors. This allows the user to be more creative with the use of other outboard pedals. Multi-band EQ, or buffered volume pedals are a few that can make this pedal even more versatile when used in the side-chain loop. FEATURES: Small footprint – 4 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches THRESHOLD, RATIO, ATTACK, RELEASE and GAIN controls. The control ranges for the ATTACK and RELEASE have been optimized for use on both bass and guitar. The compressor exhibits soft-knee compression at lower RATIO settings and hard-knee at maximum RATIO settings. The COMP LED indicates when the THRESHOLD has been reached. This LED does not indicate the RELEASE response. The compressor side-chain utilizes precision full-wave rectification of the audio signals in the THRESHOLD circuit for accurate envelope tracking. This also reduces the possibility of “pumping” with very low frequencies. ACTIVATE foot switch places the compressor unit in the signal chain or in Direct Bypass mode. In Direct Bypass mode the signal at the input is directly connected to the output and does not pass through any electronics. EQUALIZER foot switch enables the three band equalizer controls for the side-chain control circuit. The three band EQ only affects the amplitude of frequencies of the signal in the side-chain control circuit to modify threshold sensitivity by frequency band. LOOP SEND/RETURN jacks are for placing external processors or EQ’s in the compressor side-chain control circuit. These jacks are only active when the EQUALIZER foot switch is enabled. Internal DIP switches to select the output amplifier mode of operation. The three modes are clean (SW 1&2 off), warm 1 (SW 1 on) and warm 2 (SW 2 on). The warm 2 mode adds a subtle amount more of the dynamic harmonics of mode 1. Internal DIP switch for a 12KHz filter for an ‘old school’ tone or to reduce the hiss from pedals proceeding the compressor. The audio signal compression is accomplished with only a resistive component (Light Dependent Resistor or Photocell). All resistors in the circuit are low noise metal film type. The audio signal coupling capacitors are tight tolerance, quiet, multi-layer and metallized polyester film type. The transistors utilized in the audio signal path are popular low noise audiophile grade devices. The power supplies onboard voltage charge pump allows the circuitry to operate at 18volts (+9 and –9 volt rails) from a single 9-volt battery or DC power adapter. This allows the audio signal plenty of headroom from active electronic guitars and aggressive playing techniques (i.e. pop and slap). The “switch on” power supply current is less than 1µA (micro amp) on the signal ground at the INPUT jack. This is approximately 45,000 times (-93dB) less than the commonly used method of connecting the battery’s negative terminal to ground via the sleeve of the plug inserted into the INPUT jack. The “switch on” sensing method used in the FEA OPTI-FET Compressor keeps nearly all of the circuit’s generated white noise and transient currents out of the INPUT stage signal ground. Extreme measures have been taken to keep the power and signal paths as clean as possible.

  19. I thought the tar-like stuff might be the foam but didn't think it be so unrecognisable in consistency. With the location, etc it makes sense though. Despite how it might look in the photos, the finish is still really solid and smooth to touch. I was a bit surprised. If it has been refinished or varnished it's been done in a fairly professional way. In terms of the mystery repair plug in the neck pocket. There are no signs of a hole on the other side, so bit of a mystery. I'm liking the info about the pickups - thanks @bloke_zero I'm also pretty lazy so if they sound good and might not be too much hassle I might well leave them for a while too!
  20. They are probably working through a lot of emails. Might even take a week to get to yours.

    Chance would be a fine thing! Still waiting for mine to come through….
  24. I had the 5 string version of this and it was a beautiful instrument. Unfortunately, advancing arthritis in the left thumb means that I can’t manage 5s and long scale basses, so it had to go. It was hard to sell it because it was so ergonomic in every other respect and very versatile. The piezos are the same as in the Aerium (SRH500) and through a decent acoustic preamp can produce a fairly good upright bass sound. The combination with the Bart, or the Bart solo can produce a good selection of tones. All in all a great instrument and a looker.
