Perhaps we could have some input from the OP? perhaps a picture of the little ball of mayhem? Has a name been chosen yet @bailerlove9 ?

That’s very kind and much appreciated.

I sold one of Ashley's basses via the Bass Gallery a couple of years ago, a graphite Warlord. Is it possible it might have had a 3 band you worked on? Did Kent Armstrong make the pickups? Also, your user ID is interesting. In Mandarin it means 'comfortable'. Do you have any Chinese connections or is it pure conincidence?

I'd say Frank Itt must be in the 'bass-facey' running too !😂 He's my hero 👑🏆

Loads of D'addario 4 and 5 string sets for under £18 as well.

5-8 in Barry (actually sneaked out 15 minutes early) with Fractured Persona then drive to Newport and 8:30-11 with Bluesfire. Back via McDs for a MacPlant and home after 12. Remind me... I do this for pleasure, right?

Seems to be their new packaging design: https://www.jimdunlop.com/super-bright-stainless-steel-bass-strings-40-120-5-string/

Yes, but compatible with charger for 9V nimhs.

What happens if you update to 3.80 then 3.81 then 3.83? Alternatively, can you update online rather than from a downloaded file?

If the active/passive switch has an unused pole, you could use that to switch the power to the preamp, assuming the pickups themselves are passive, then practice with it in passive mode.

I'll try them, thanks. Yep the J-Tone has a passive mode switch, which works really well and has saved my bacon a couple of times. Oddly with the passive on, active off, a jack in the socket still will drain the battery.

I use Procell batteries for my motorised TRVs (heating) and they are excellent. Luckily I'm retired now @tauzero, hence the high hours. Making up for lost time!

Well, that went downhill quickly. "Do you want to buy it or are you just being a clever dick?". So I said I was just telling him he'd described it wrong, and he was too arrogant for me to buy anything from him.

Personally I'm loathe to cut a big hole into my bass for a battery socket, if that's what you mean. If you mean a charge socket, then yes, I'll be seeing if that's viable: * try a rechargeable to see if it can power my preamp without significant noise * If it can, then fit one of these into the body, discretely * If not, stick with disposable batteries and swap in a known sufficiently charged battery for every gig.
