I wonder if a corn plaster might work, what with them having a hole in the middle. Might not be small enough though. Another thought is a small, Compeed blister plaster as they are very cushioned and very discreet.

One case of poor handling and that condemns AliExpress entirely?

Christmas Day was forced on me, I didn't want to spoil Mrs Zero 2's Christmas as I'm not a particularly cruel man. As for her dad insisting - another not-so-irrational prejudice of mine, I hate inverted snobs, which was exactly what he was. I was middle class and worked in a service industry, he wanted a horny-handed son of toil for his daughter, which was the boyfriend after me. Who ripped her off and screwed around, but a few years later, got his come-uppance: https://solihullobserver.co.uk/news/solihull-man-jailed-after-kidnapping-and-sexually-assaulting-teenage-girl/

Within my tolerance range, Many Thanks ...I still can not understand why NO reviewers or retailers have what is BASSic imformation like this on their videos/sites....poss incoming Z7

Only problem is I'm now looking at Ampeg Venture head units! 🫣

The Hole in the Ground - Bernard Cribbins

Happy new year all. I originally used black tape around the edges of the grill as there were little sharp bits, I did take the Dremel to them but I then ended up with silver bits on a black grill and I didn't fancy spraying it all to match so put the tape on. To be honest it looked like cr4p and I was never happy with it. The original split tubing around the original circular grill didn't look much better either, so I looked and looked for a better idea and didn't really find anything that I liked, so as per normal, if I can't find it, I look to make my own. So pulled out Fusion 360 and the digital callipers and tried to see if I design something, I wasn't sure how it would look. This is the Fusion 360 view and this is what it looks like close up. and far away I can't make the two long sides in one print as they are 376mm long and the maximum diagonal I can print is around 330mm so its in two pieces. I need to do small adjustments to minimise the gaps but I'll work on that. As its black on a black grille on top of a matt black baffle board, small gaps won't be noticeable. Somewhat surprisingly its a nice tight fit and the holes I was going to put in the back and put hot glue in aren't needed. However in the process of printing these, one version went wrong and I managed to destroy the Y-Axis belt on my Prusa MK4, which was a bit of a surprise, as the belts are supposed to be pretty indestructible. I have a box full of spares but guess what I don't have? Oh well, 5M of 6mm GT2 is on the way and should be here tomorrow but I then have to reprint some broken bits and retune the 3D printer. Thankfully I can use the other printer to make the spares (or I hope I can ) The temperature here is still so cold that I still haven't managed to get the Armacab on the sodding cabinet. We are forecasting snow tomorrow as well, which actually should be warmer than it is today. We got down to -4.5C.

Base price + delivery charge + import duty & VAT?

Small one has soft touch switching and assorted circuit, big one not

Like that a lot. You've managed a home run there.

Just thought I’d mention this, of the many basses I’ve had the only ones that anyone in my various bands have ever said they like the sound of unprompted are my two Sandbergs, a California TT Superlight, and a Lionel.

Very nice. While I generally prefer a darker fretboard the grain on this one is very attractive, and it pairs well with the Sherwood green. Classy and understated!

I think I would be inclined to make one from a Squier Sonic Bronco, or Mustang as suggested a few posts back up the thread. My experience of Japanese made Fenders is you will want to change the pickups anyway. If you are hacking it about, you may as well put some contours on the slab body as well. Fender high mass bridge and some decent machine heads, and it would still come out a lot cheaper than importing.

and it's very resonant and acoustically loud too I'll taake it to an 80s duo gig tomorrow and see how the pickups are

Love the Lollies but can't do the Tort. Enjoy!

Damn! I thought I'd finally found one, and you've taken even that from me!
