dont the Vintage Fenders have a clear coat sealer on them prior to painting, I had a Mocha brown one that I took the paint off with nail polish remover... -
If your need is one session, loan one from a friend. Constant use, go for something good. I've had my Countryman 85 maybe 15 years, and I bought it used. It is maybe +25 years old, but sturdy, uncoloured, and works on a 9 V battery or Phantom.

Agree @danbanbass, I think they look great
-
I'd say there is a difference between a fan-fret and a copy of a specific instrument.
-
And yet since it’s the primary legislation used in the U.K, maybe your assertion is wrong. If it didn’t provide a useable definition, then it wouldn’t be fit for purpose. -
Anyone still got this? Would love to hear it
-
I can't see the word anywhere in that document. The fact that you can look at it and say yes and I can look at it and say no therefore demonstrates that your assertions here are flawed. And therefore the answer is no. -
I think it's really important that we talk about stuff like this here, at work, in the pub and anywhere else possible. If we don't, a vacuum forms and only the most vociferous and cynical voices fill it. And in a world in which unmoderated, unchecked, unleavened info comes at us non-stop (and frequently via channels with opaque motives and intetests) we owe it to ourselves to ensure that moderate voices and quiet wisdom are not drowned out. I'm fairly certain there are people who are currently being led down a particular path who would be easily swayed if real data and logic were presented to them in a digestible way. I fear for what may come to pass ultimately on a wave of populism fired up by ignorance, fear and half-truths. Bickering and semantics are a sure fire way to get discussion shutdown. -
I heard that's why they decommissioned the Royal Train, so that @neepheid could use it to travel to bass bashes.
-
While I don’t disagree, these look to be affordable and decent quality but then you don’t hear me going round saying “another fan fret, multi string pile of metal/funk junk either” One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I just despise paying ridiculous money for a Fender custom shop bass. Also the fact that I can order exactly what I want rather than having something off the shelf is appealing.

I have the thomann cheapo di box. It's passive, and other than the signal being reduced slightly, I've no complaints!
-
This thread is descending into farce, with a side order of virtue signalling. I suppose it's inevitable on here. -
In wordy legalese, yes.
-
Never worked with my Etherwave Theremin. If we plugged it into the PA and there was no signal at the desk the culprit was always the PA's DI100 box. Swapping it for the EMO DI box we carried would sort out the problem every single time. AFAICS the way that the earths of both devices were wired would cause the DI100 to effectively short the output of the Theremin.

Piezo electric tweets 1016's - Any interest in a larger order?
bertbass replied to rwillett's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Rob, I have found an honest politician for you! Let me tell you a story. A few years ago I built a few wedgehorn 6s and like you I needed Goldwood 1016's for the build and like you I found that the UK price was unbelievable considering that the price in the US was only about a $1 each. Fortunately my lady and I were holidaying in Vegas for a few days so to cut the story short, I ordered a load of Goldwood 1016's and had them delivered to our hotel and brought them back with me in my suitcase. Finished the wedgehorns and they were and still are, great. I bought more piezos than I needed just in case and the unused ones are just sitting on a shelf waiting for a use. It would seem that you have a use for them. If you'd care to message me with your address, I'll get them in the post to you FOC. Terry -
I know that exists, but does it define the word in question?

Just purchased a Zoom pedal from Andy. Great dealing with him. No issues and good comms

With more shiny things acquired or heading my way, it's time to clear some space on my pedal shelf. Maxon AD999 Analog Delay This is a stellar analog delay that I've owned for 20 years and never thought I'd sell. In my country band it was always on, either as a slapback or a longer atmospheric delay. In recent years I have come to want modulation and preferably tap tempo, and sadly this has neither. Maxon developed their own BBD chips, of which this has eight (8), giving a maximum delay time of 900ms. The delay sound is clear and sweet, but not squeaky clean like a digital delay. Here's a Guitar Player review. Excellent condition, boxed with manual. £160 delivered in the UK. Arion SAD-3 Analog Delay Probably analog delay's last gasp before the Carbon Copy brought about its resurgence. Unlike the SAD-1, this squeezes up to 200ms out of a single Panasonic MN3208 BBD chip. Consequently the delay is short, dark, and somewhat low in level unless you whack up the Depth control. In excellent condition with box and manual. £65 delivered in the UK. Walrus Audio Fundamental Reverb Provides 3 types of reverb, of which the Plate is my favourite. The Mix control allows you to dial in more reverb than dry signal, right up to 100% wet, so it can be used in a series loop (most amps) or parallel (some Laneys). In very good condition, with hook velcro on the base for fitting straight onto your pedal board. £95 delivered in the UK. FuzzDog Micro-V Envelope Filter Built by me from a FuzzDog kit, the circuit is based on a Mutron Micro V. All works as it should, but after an initial burst of wack-wacka lunacy, I kind of lost interest and have never found myself needing it on a pedalboard. Rubber feet on the base. The white spray-painted finish has sustained a couple of nicks, otherwise it is as you see it. Yours for £45 delivered in the UK. Boss AC3 Acoustic Simulator Does what it says on the tin - turns your clean electric sound into a passable facsimile of an acoustic. I think it sounds best with 'G. AMP OUT' into a clean guitar amp. In excellent condition with box and manual. £60 delivered in the UK. Burford Electronics Robot Ring Modulator (with useful mods) Not just any robot but one that has been out on the lash, scranned a kebab, had a fight, tried to shag a dustbin, and is now throwing up in a shop doorway - that's the sound you're hearing! You're probably not going to play Valerie through this but great fun can be had by tuning the oscillator to the key of the song and letting rip. (Some oscillator signal is audible when the pedal is engaged but nothing is being played.) This came to me faulty but I have rectified the wiring issues. I have also made it more user-friendly by adding a 9V power inlet (was previously battery-only) and a status LED. Some dings to the paintwork as per the photos. Comes with instructions. £75 delivered in the UK. Danelectro Cool Cat Tremolo A lovely optical trem. I think it shares the circuit with the earlier Tuna Melt (which I used to own) and the more recent Billionaire Filthy Rich. I was going to keep this but That Pedal Shelf is struggling under the weight... Controls for Speed and Depth, plus the Hard setting on the Hard/Soft switch takes you straight to choppy square-wave mode. In excellent condition with box - yours for £40 posted in the UK. Dazatronyx Optical Tremolo As far as I know, a unique design, hand-built in Australia. You don't see many over here. Controls for Rate, Tuning, and Boost. Tuning is kind of like depth but also affects the overall volume, and you then compensate with the Boost to taste. Mechanical true bypass switching. Operates from a standard 9V boss-style adaptor or a PP3 battery. In excellent condition, and just look at that artwork! No box, velcro on the base ready for your pedalboard! £85 posted in the UK. -
The photo is the correct way around and yes, I'd agree totally with what you say. -
The equality act 2010 is the primary legislation
-
Is there such a thing?
-
Just for the record, assuming I finish this before the inevitable lock - no. Racists, homophobes, transphobes & hateful, bin-burning bigots of any faction can do one. Not in my band, not in my life, if I can possibly help it. -
If postage ever becomes an option please DM me @Lozz196 and let me know, this would have sold within a week if it had been I think -
A set of the above. Fit Japanese Fender Mustang basses so prob most MIJ/CIJ Fenders (HVAC tape currently around shaft as recommended by Hipshot for a tighter fit). One key slightly different as shown, with the screw at the end, but all genuine USA Hipshots. Price includes postage in UK.
