On one review, the ash bodiied 4 string weighed 4.5 kgs.....too much in my opinion and would be a deal breaker for me

@scrumpymike, just sent you £15 via previous PayPal address, hope it's still your current one 👍🏻

You may well be spot on. I assumed you’d taken one output from the supply per pedal, as opposed to actually daisy chaining them to each other with a single daisy chain (and I still can’t get my head around why that works on the ACA pedals!!!).

You could well be correct, but my understanding is that as long as it’s daisy chained (as the RPW-7 is internally) it will work correctly: Powering Options ACA 12V DC Adapter: Use a dedicated 12V DC (center-negative) adapter or a power supply with a selectable 12V output. Battery: A 9V battery will provide the correct 9V internally, bypassing the voltage-dropping components. Daisy Chain (with a PSA pedal): If connected in a daisy chain with at least one standard 9V PSA pedal, the ACA pedal's internal resistor/diode circuit is bypassed, allowing it to run correctly on 9V When powering ACA Boss pedals I’m always lead by the brightness of the LED. Setting them up as I did in this test gives full bright LED’s so I’m assuming they are working correctly. That said I do have a 12V Boss ACA PSU and I’ll A/B and update.

That's a stunning looking bass! Make sure you post up when you get the new pick guard. I think combo will look awesome.

Well I’ve decided to stay with MarkBass and ordered in the sale MB58R122 Pure Rated 800w 8 ohms ( in case I wish to add another cab. I hoping this will suffice as a single cab option with my TE1200 and if I like it maybe consider selling my MB58R 102 Energy cabs x 2 !!

Arrived today and very nice and no difference in sound quality to a decent cable 👍

Doesn't that era (early/mid 80's) need the ACA power supply? So 12v power supply (or a 9v battery)? I ran one on 9v for years thinking that was right, but then found out it was an ACA version... and swapping the supply gave me tons more volume and headroom. Just checking as the RPW-7 won't power the ACA demanding ones properly. I used to have an ACA and PSA version at the same time and difference between them at 9v was a bit like the OC2 were vs the OC5 in your clip. That said, the OC5 absolutely has a touch more volume output than the OC2. I also have an ACA MIT OC-2, that has been modded with the -2 Oct disconnected. Doing this gives loads more headroom to the circuit and raises the volume to pretty much the same level as my OC5, which is nice.

Hello and thank you for your ideas! Yes it’s most definitely a modified BITSA! Active EMGs are post factory. Main question is about the finish.

Which explains their embracing of the cover perhaps? I really don’t know a great deal about them, just what I hear on PR. Out shopping and just looking at the recently played tracks, looks like Sabbath are making a late run. Won’t Get Fooled Again and Alright Now lower than I would have thought.

The latest incarnation of a compact board. Spot the Big Muff 2.😂

Speaking of showreels, I seem to have had a productive start to the year and managed to get the video editing done on an "interim" reel, which should hopefully be a step up from the promo clips we currently have, and assist with my second goal of getting a few more function bookings for us this year. Any other similar little encouraging tales that others have to share in the start of a snow-swept January?

Nice to see they got the headstock design sorted. It looks classic Ibanez and it'll age well.

I agree. So many do look much of a muchness, that is until you start spending £5k+ & my ears won’t justify that. I didn’t really want to pay more than £500 for a turntable, but it turns out that all that £500 will get me is a nice sounding deck that looks the same as every other £500 deck. It’s not that they are ugly, just that they don’t appeal to my visual tastes. This visually ticks my boxes… This doesn’t & would look out of place (though in my last house, it would have went well)…

Those are headphone outs, so will already have an amp built in to them. Most mixers dont have those and just use standard passive outs. I sometimes do the same with the headphone out on my XR18, straight in to my IEMS using a long stereo TSR extension cable.

I think these look great! Something a bit fun!

I stand corrected! With my poor eyesight and a small laptop screen it looked like it said Indonesia. Doh.... lol!

I’m probably minority here but apart from the white one mentioned , they don’t do anything for me .More knobs than the Houses of Parliament. Is there really any need for them ?? Doubtful if the punters at the dog and duck would notice much difference tbh
