Have you tried asking the place you bought from? If you bought from a shop (ie not a private sale) then they should be the ones supplying you with any missing parts/replacing the whole thing, surely?

I found these on another guitar forum posted by Ozyrus This is for the Jack bass but from searching I found that Hohner used the same preamp in most of their 1980's - 1990's basses I have a black 1990 Pro JJ Bass, just got it, and knowing the preamp was likely bad - which it seems to be.

Good to hear that they work for you. I have to say that, even though I agree on everything you said, in my case, there are two aspects that I am not 100% with: -They are comfortable, but not extremely comfortable for me. You have to look for proper tips. I find it funny that my "perfect tips" for my Plunge Audios are foam size M. I usually use foam L in all of my in ears. And I could use silicone L with the Plunge as well, but foam, M. The are comfortable and they stay in the ear, but they are not as comfortable as my Sennheiser (for me). -Soundwise, I think they are a little bit bassy. When I use them to listen to music, they are incredible. However, after some gigs with it, I had some issues having "too much bass" in some gigs and losing some mids. Don't get me wrong, I would recommend them. And for the price, they are really really good. I tend to favour Dynamic drivers over BA (even if it is only one Dynamic vs various BA). I'd prefer to play with the Plunge Audio than the Westone X30s, which are also really really good.

Im a HUGE fan of their discontinued Spyder series. The 330 can be had for about the same price as a MAG head in the used market. The 550 version takes it to another level tho, a really valvey tone but not in the distorted manner - like a tube head running clean but when you dig in a slight sag and grit. As most basschatters do - im always chasing THAT tone and have been through many heads from budget to boutique, i genuinely always come back to the Spyders

How exactly did the TRBXs feel flimsy and toy like? They feel pretty solid to me.

This is absolute peak Mark King tone IMO. Loads of grown and 'snap' on the notes. Perfectly compressed and with loads of punch. This is the live sound that I remember from him, it was absolutely massive.

hey so my bass is shocking me but no one else so i pluged it into an amp and started playing no problem then suddedly my fingers feel the electircity through them then zap and i chaged the cable and amp and bass to every possible configuration and still zaping me then i gave it to somone else and 30 sec aftr zaping me they played for 20 min then gave me the bass 10 sec of me holding it then the same thing again

I'm always interested in what players have to say and what THEY would like to see.

Actually pretty impressed with the tone in that vid

I have never really expected my former workmates to do much in the way of making an effort to attend my gigs. I guess they saw more than enough of me at work and vice versa. I don't think some of them were particularly interested in live music, regardless of who was playing it, so I was never hugely offended. I don't expect everyone to be interested in the same things as me. Years after I left my old job, it's become an occasional thing for some of them to use it as an excuse for a get-together, organised through Facebook, which suits me down to the ground. It's good to see them and in some cases, have something else to do. What's really good is that when some of them see me with a bass in my hands and see exactly what I have been doing on stage, they suddenly understand the long hair that got all those sideways looks and the afternoons I had off to go guitar hunting and all of the gigs that I did that they knew about but didn't come to. It's sometimes really good to shock them with a really tight band that mixes things up a bit and give them something they really didn't expect. It's also good when people that I know turn up who are into music and then it's the challenge of doing what we do and hopefully impressing them. It's only a challenge because two of the wheels fell off our wagon around May and July and I have had to replace our guitarist and drummer after 9.5 years. The band is getting tighter and more versatile now. Social media is a good way of gathering the troops, but I tend not to rely on it for most of my friends as dragging themselves out to watch bands isn't what they do.

Has anyone bought a set of Grover 145c and found any parts missing? My set arrived today, in a box that looked like it had been kicked from the shop to my letterbox. I opened them up, sat and studied them and thought, somethings missing here, the large washers (4) that go onto the ferral barrel thingy, nowhere to be seen.... anybody got any spares I could buy please..? 🙁

Hi Gizmo, I don't have one of the necks with me, they're in the UK. But I'll do my best to answer your questions based on the Moses neck the Aurok necks are based on. The radius is fairly flat so probably 16". The profile is a shallow d shape, the string spacing at the bridge can be whatever you like, I'm not sure what the spacing is at the nut, I'll measure a Moses neck tonight as a guide, and get back to you with an edit to this post.

I'm just not sure if id bother lugging that bloody bastard around for it's 300 watts .. it's a vibe for sure but I think they mention in the video that you can't put a expansion cab on it and kts tuned for the full power out of it's setup. It's going to fall into the too small to gig without pa support and too expensive to make sense for smaller players .

Fortunate Sons this evening. More of a try out the latest iteration of the pa than owt else tonight. An hour of set up. Fancy new speaker stans with handles to raise them up after you put them on the poles! Focused on our second set. Had a few fumbles and a complete brain fart on I'm a man... what could be simpler?

Had no idea there was such a demand for resonators from Yorkshire!! Well worth it, and there's loads of walks in the vicinity if you're not feeling ambitious enough to tackle one of the three peaks.
