    Well, here goes... Just a loop recorded on to my phone, so quality is poor. Neck, middle, then bridge. It's wearing Thomastik rounds at the moment, so the tone is not as smooth as with the flats... Friday at 7-31 pm.m4a

    I agree. Too many things started to slide with that band. When people get sloppy it's always an uphill battle to get things back on an even keel.

    My Custom Shop Jazz had the clicking pots, which to be honest, I didn’t really like, even though it was useful to have the facility to have an accurate tone setting. However, it was easy enough to sort by taking the chrome knobs off and then removing the nut that held the clicker washer underneath, remove the washer and that was the end of the clicking!

    Alot of times we don't really know the process venue owners use to determine who gets booked and what date . I wonder if you could get an honest answer if you asked the owner; " What criteria do you use for rebooking bands, how can we get in your weekend rotation schedule?" Daryl

    That's a job to be proud of. It looks tidy, especially the clean edges to the paint.

    FOR SALE Aguilar Grape Phaser v2 in perfect, as new condition - £150 inc. UK Mainland delivery. Velcro underneath, but this can be easily removed if needed. Here's the blurb from the Aguilar site: The Grape Phaser provides lush, analog phase shifting courtesy of a simple, two-knob layout. From flowing, liquid tones to fat, funky ones, this simple phaser has a wide range of usable sounds in it. Fantastic for all styles of playing, especially soloing, fretless, and slap. RATE controls the speed of the modulation while COLOR feeds a portion of the signal back through the phase shifting circuit, creating new and super funky bass sounds! *Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only. Not included. 'Rate' controls speed of modulation 'Color" feeds a portion of signal back through the phase circuit, creating new and unique tones Pedal powered by universal 9-volt power supply only.

    I think all bands should bring a professional performance and professional behavior. Daryl

    Exactly. Look at it as "Surface Chambering / Weight Relief) 😊 And if you, or anyone, wishes to put a pickup back in there then it's a plus.

    Alan bought a Caveman pedal from me. Paid immediately and it was a great experience. Thanks Alan.

    Thanks! it’s a great sounding bass and one I thought I’d keep! But I’m downsizing the collection and my new build covers the need for this! 😀

    So I found a nicer piece of pine to practice on than that scabby old thing I found. It went... OK. A few wobbles (including setting the depth of my cutter a tad low at the beginning. But lessons learned, and praise be, the pickup fits (using the 1/4" cutter in the corners). I thought about having another test run, but I thought "F it" and decided to proceed directly to the real thing... First off, remove the bulk of the hole with the drill and forstner bit. Then deep breath and get out my most hated power tool, the router. Took my time this time, double checked everything. Did the main shape with the 1/2" cutter, then swapped to the 1/4" cutter for the corners. Howzat? The wee deeper holes in the corner are because I had to poke the 1/4" cutter down sufficiently so that enough plain shaft was below the baseplate so it would not cut the template. IT FITS, YAS! I am very pleased with my afternoon's work. This is the first pickup route I've ever routed in my life. Glad it went well, but won't be sorry if I don't ever do it again, lol. It most certainly has not "given me the bug" - it was stressful and horrible work, but I am very pleased with the results. Next job - figuring out how to make a dirty long hole from the control cavity to the pickup route without ballsing the entire operation up. I might need a bit of professional help with that so I might pay the Engineering Workshop at work a visit on Monday and see if I can cadge a disgustingly long drill bit at the very least. Or they might take pity on me and do a "give it here" - I won't complain!

    @Chienmortbb @Pow_22 Thanks for the information. With all the talk of valve tone and the thump of class A/B power amps and the heft - there, I said it 😱 - that you get from old school amp designs like this, coupled with what I think is pretty much a give away price, I'm surprised this is still hanging around. Someone somewhere mentioned that this series of amps wasn't particularly desirable but given that they doesn't suffer from the wooly sound some folks complain of with Ashdown amps I think they're an underrated gem. But as I gig almost exclusively on IEMs these days and have a light weight amp and cab for the occasional dep gig with backline, this is sadly in the way and needs to go to a new loving home.

    Big fan of D'Addario Pro Steels on my 4003. Tried a few different types, but the Pro Steels just sing IMO.
