    The summer of 69 had its moments. I still don't like playing the song though.

    Are you ok to do shipping?

    Aha. Found it. I had a copy buried in my photos folder for some reason.

    I've a lovely Aerodyne Jazz for sale. Serial number dates it at 95-96 MIJ, and it's wearing its years very well. Plays great, neck is straight and it polishes up lovely. There's a few marks here and there, which I've tried to capture in the photos. Strings are recently fitted Tomastik TI Jazz Flats, along with Schaller S Lock buttons. Happy to send via Parcelforce in a Hiscox hardcase ( included in the sale ) to UK addresses. Cheers

    Yes, it's based on a modification of the Fender tonestack but it also has make-up gain within the circuit so it behaves a little more predictably, with less interaction.

    This would be much appreciated.

    I've done exactly this on a few guitars. I'm not near my computer, but I have diagrams somewhere. I'll have a look in the morning.

    Tonight I trimmed the plastic face plates and re-glued them at the ends, fitted the knobs, and labelled all the DC power nodes (A, B, C, and D) on the board. I checked the circuit against the scematic and found a couple of issues: An output valve connection that had somehow escaped soldering, so that it was just hanging loose - not a great idea! Remember this post where I had a couple of 2.2nF caps but 'realised' I needed 22nF and had to order some? No, 2.2nF was right, I just wrote it wrong on the layout! I'm having some last-minute thoughts about fuse values. Based on the transformers from the donor amp, I think it would be T1.6A for mains and F2A for the HT.

    I'm looking to ditch the Jazz-style wiring on my P+P bass, because it doesn't work the way it should, rolling down one volume essentially makes its pickup inaudible anyway. I want to swap one pot to a 4-position rotary switch that will enable switching between: Neck PU only, both PUs in Parallel, both PUs in Series, Bridge pickup only. I searched online and can't seem to find a wiring diagram nor a thread on forum/Reddit/etc. that understands that mission, and I could've sworn that before the search engines suffered a major episode of enpoopification, the diagram WAS there. Anyway, I made a crude diagram myself and just want to make sure it's legit. My ADHD brain sometimes just won't cooperate with such focused tasks. Any help and feedback would be appreciated.

    Someone sent me this transcription, I reviewed and reformatted it. Only afterward did I notice it was already on your website. I still have several others I’ve prepared in the past that I was planning to post, Tipatina's is just one example.

    If I haven't lived in a yellow submarine, or got my kicks on Route 66, or can't remember the summer of '69, there are certain songs I can't play because I can't relate to them? 🫤

    I fitted a Retrovibe Stinger '77 preamp in mine and it sounds great with the original pickup. So much better than the indistinct mush of the original preamp. I really must get around to shimming the pots with a couple of washers - the knobs sit too proud at the moment

    I thought I would bring up this thread again. I went onto the online Musicman spare parts site and actually located the socket I required, priced at £3.10p, I proceeded to fill out my name and address and moved on to the payment section, this is what I discovered. Input Jack £3.10p UPS £30.59p Duties, Taxes & Fees £9.23p What an absolute joke, the total cost of getting a £3.10p part to me in the U.K. is £42.92p

    The Cure - Mixes of a Lost World. I’ve been going to listen to this album for yonks, but never did until today. Why didn’t I listen to it much sooner?! The remixes are fantastic.

    it is because they are ridiculous enough to want money in exchange for their hard work.🤷‍♂️ Fortunately I am good at finding my way around things.
  33. DF Shortscale
    I think you've hit the nail on the head there - playing stuff influenced by styles / genres is the right way to tackle this, it's very different to playing direct covers. Jamming on an afro-beat inspired groove feels much less cringe worthy than doing a Fela Kuti impression.

    I bought strings from Andy. All went well, as described, good packing. I'm pleased to add to his happy feedback Thanks Andy

    This lovely condition 2023 Aubergine Fender American Performer Mustang is up for sale/trade. It's been with me for a few months and is set up beautifully with 40-95 Elixirs (Fender use 40-100 as standard on these.) This Mustang plays like a dream and is in excellent condition with no scratches or dings that I can see. It has only been used for one set on one gig in our live tribute show, so it's not earning its keep and therefore has to go. Comes complete with bill of sale from original owner and the original Fender Deluxe Gig Bag & case candy. The American Performer Mustang is also another instrument in the line (since the Highway 1 series Jazz/Precision) which utilises the 'Grease Bucket' tone control, which lowers tone without losing bass/volume. Using both P&J pickups with the tone control dimed, it sounds like a hyper-jazz bass. Switch to the split coil and turn the tone down to about 70% & you get a very good traditional Mustang/Precision sound. Solo the bridge single coil, halve the tone and you're in burpy Jaco land. It's a very adaptable bass. I would record you a demo, but I'll let 'Nick Campbell Destroys' do the honours below - he does a much better job than me! For sale at £825. (Recommended retail price on these is now nearly £1400 these days!) Interesting trade options considered. Buyer to collect, or can meet half way at a distance of up to 100 miles (total distance of up to 200 miles from DE7.)

    Superb Rob, took me back to being a kid again. Loved Mr Benn plus you added the full programme of Mr Benn and not just the intro music. Dave
