  1. Past hour
  2. These tuners came from a JMJ Roadworn Mustang but I assume they will fit any Fender with a similar post size and screw pattern. They are full size tuners with a wider post unlike the Gotoh version that was made to fit the MIJ Mustang basses. I’m sorry I don’t know the model number. They have been lightly aged so wouldn’t look out of place on a vintage Fender needing a better quality tuner. They come with mounting screws and ferrules. Pickup preferred but I can post for free UK only. Thanks
  3. Aguilar Tonehammer preamp V1 -£120 Well used but works a dream - these pedals are absolute tanks. No box or power supply but psu can be bought cheap enough. Battery compartment screw also missing but securely taped shut Selling as moved onto Aguilar AG preamp can ship for £5 securely
  4. TLDR version: It's my clone of a Prunes and Custard in a really small case, it's a DIY pedal I made myself but to a fairly high standard. It sounds amazing! The last three I'll ever do... Long version: I like making pedals, and have made quite a few for myself - often of things, like this, that seem to be unavailable to buy new. @lee650 convinced me to try a Prunes and custard. But I didn't have space on my board - so wondered if I could fit it all in a mini (1590a) size enclosure... Then I saw the fancy Gorva M45 which is 5mm or so wider ... but crucially if you use the right Lumberg jacks, you can get top jacks into it! The PCB is a combination of SMD parts (resistors, a couple of ceramic caps, most diodes and IC) and through hole for capacitors and one diode. Mini 3PDT footswitch is low activation pressure and nice. The Gorva M45 is the most expensive part of the build in matt black - and I designed a fern leaf design for it printed in gloss on black by Gojira here in the UK. The original Prunes and Custard being made in New Zealand, and the fern leaf and er... All Black design influenced by the country of origin and watching the All blacks as my kiwi uncle introduced me to rugby... Importantly the LED is green. This is the kind of detail that matters. But making a small batch it meant I could get the SMD parts of PCB assembled and it made the unit price on the printing make sense. I had 10 PCB and bulked a bit at the cost to build them all up (plus that gets out of hand!) so made 6. Seems quite a few of you wanted and sold. Then someone messaged me asking if I was going to make more, I wasn't but due to being in the country for only a short time, they took mine - so I guess I had to build the rest up. These are the same as the last batch - with the following changes... I made a breakout board for the footswitch. Lumberg seem to have stopped doing their power jacks - this has a multi comp pro one (ie not a no-brand cheap one) I used CPC's own brand jacks, they are Japanese made so high quality. One of them I'm keeping but there were three more I made up Like before I offer the final three here for £85. Which will be £89 including first class postage here in the UK. There's one where I scratched the finish slightly - so there's a discount - which will be £75 or 79 including postage. Controls are gain, mix and volume, high cut is guitar/bass on the original (I think) and ... cuts the top end, low cut is contour on the original and in the down position adds clean lows back in. It sounds like a prunes and custard. It's very small. Did I mention how small it is? NOTE: compact jacks, like EBS, needed.
  5. Love the tapered alignment tools... Great excuse for a Chinese

  7. I had an Aria Pro II RSB for a while and it was definitely 34" scale. @kristo has a nice looking medium scale Jazz for sale.
  8. The Fender Player Mustang is short scale btw. The Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar is medium scale which could be worth looking at.
  9. My first suggestion would be to slap a battery in it, disconnect the daisy chan from it, then check to see if the noise has gone away. I’d suggest this just to avoid buying a new power supply only to found out the pedal had some kind of fault. Boss pedals tend to play really nice on a daisy chain, so my gut tells me it’s another pedal causing the issue, even if it’s the Boss unit that’s presenting the noise. Assuming the batter does away with it, most isolated power supplies should work for you. Not all are created equal though, and some of the more expensive ones (like Cioks) really do an amazing job of filtering out noise and protecting against various issues, as well as being able to run each outlet at different voltages. That said though, many cheaper ones will do fine for you, especially if you don’t have a huge pedalboard or multiple different voltage requirements.
  10. Can anyone assist? I have an active bass, that I was doing some work on…. I needed to put it face down on a raised surface, and that raised surface was an upturned speaker, with a giant magnet on the back… so, after resting the bass on the speaker, on its pickups….. 🤦🏻‍♂️, it now doesn’t work. I assume that the magnet has affected the polarity of the magnets in the pickups? Anything I can do to reverse the damage?
  11. Oh great, that's what we need - another southerner Only teasing, welcome from the NE arse end of civilization.
  12. Bargain! GLWS
  13. Have you played a 32" scale before?
  14. Love a medium scale. Lots of options if you look. And, erm, #shamelesplug 👀
  15. I looking for some advice on buying a medium scale bass. From what i have found these are quite rare to find and my options seem to be: A : Buy a new ish medium scale: MTD Kingston Lynn Keller, Fender Player Mustang, Maruszczyk ( if I could find one ) Max budget would be around £1000 so other boutique offerings would be too expensive B: Buy a "Vintage" 32in bass. Aria Pro II RSB, Ibanez Roadstar II RB830, Fender Aerodyne, etc etc. Seems like I can get something for around £700. I'm a little nervous about this as it will be a 30+ year old bass and would it require more money to sort out any problems. Thanks for any advice.

  18. Do this. Or even potentially, get you existing cab closer to being in line with your ears. If you need more volume for FOH then maybe not, but if your amp is prety much just for on stage, then you probably have enough volume already, its just not directed at you adequately. It's advice I got decades ago and it still stands up today! I've no scientific evidence to back this up, but I think thats why 8x10s tend to sound brilliant... there's speakers in pretty much ear height so you're hearing the amp better. 2 2x10s stacked vertically, or a single vertical 2x10 raised to ear heigh does the same job, kind of.
  19. Hey folks! I'm considering buying an isolated power supply for my pedal board, as my Boss ODB-3 seems to have a lot of background noise (not to do with pedal settings, just a high pitched noise) which I believe is due to me running it off a daisy chain supply. Just wondered if any of the 'budget' ones are any good or not? Surely an isolated power supply is an isolated power supply? Thanks, Oli
  20. Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
  21. Today
  22. Used it properly last night, it's very useful; no more digging around in the depths of a rucksack for leads which, no matter how well you coiled and tied at the end of the night, still seem able to turn into Indiana Jones' pit of snakes in between gigs and auto-tangle. Another kinda small thing, but useful: it's designed to sit upright, which again makes things easier to delve into. The zips are waterproof/resistant, too, which the constant downpour off the Pennines tested in Rammy last night. I'm giving it 10/10, price notwithstanding...if it lasts as long as my last one, it'll work out about £8 a year...
  23. Well, those who know me will find this surprising..... I just ordered a Sire bass ! This is the one, a P5R in natural - https://www.thomann.co.uk/marcus_miller_p5r_alder_4_nt.htm It will mainly be for jams and to carry as a spare on gigs. Fingers crossed it's not too heavy. Rob
  24. Selling my Hamer Slammer. MIK in the 90s. Pretty sure the pickups are unbranded Dimarzios, very lively and punchy Excellent condition, a tiny bit of rash and a few v small lacquer chips on the back, as per pics. This is a really well built instrument, the neck has a smooth matte finish, feels and sounds great. Comes in gig bag £275 posted to your door thanks for looking

  25. I would refer that one to @agedhorse. Perhaps worth starting a thread in Technical and Repairs.
  26. ...is this the same 32-piece laminated neck, or one-piece? i can't tell from the picture, actually
  27. I’ll be first - Fender V3 Rumble combo.
