@dodge_bass might be up your street.

An interesting pedal. Not something I’d use but nevertheless…

Indeed. You’re welcome to pop over and try it.

To describe the bass as "distortion ripping from the depths of Hell" would be an understatement.

Just wanted to update here I purchased the bassbuzz course and surprised myself with just how much I knew somewhere in the old grey matter that I cancelled my subscription after the first month and haven't looked for another course since then. I don't regret buying a month of the course as it have me confidence in my playing ability

I can only think of Mo Foster, who had a double bass fingerboard grafted on to his Jazz Bass when he had it made fretless, but I'm pretty sure that bass had both pickups on it. Probably not what you are thinking of.

I was without my phone for a few days and got back to my emails and saw their mailing list one and thought you would be very very happy !

@GrandafatherGroove, this could be what you’ve been looking for.

I don't know whether they're still available, but I got replacement plastic sleeves/handles for a couple of my EV n/dyms a few years back.

Jack Bruce was one of those players that sounded like himself regardless of what bass he played. I don't think the difference between a Spector and Warwick would be that apparent. He just dug into those strings and did his thing.

I’ve always thought “millionaire playboy aristocrat” would be a good swap

Using jacks for cabinets is a terrible idea, as this photo clearly shows:

Would this method work for pickguards too ?

These are the Speakon connectors soldered up and ready to go. I have to confess I brought them with the PCB but I did make a rubber gasket for each of the Speakon adaptors and soldered it all up. I'll use foam strip around the edges once I've made a hole in the back of the speakers to fit this. I may get the chance tomorrow but the nights are drawing in and it's circa 1C at the moment and I hate working outside in the freezing cold. Rob

You know all the notes on the fingerboard? You're ahead of me then 😂

Here's one of my current builds...... The body is made from an old hardwood door and old floorboards with another mystery veneer on top...... I'm going to handmake the bridge on this one out of polished aluminium..........👍🏻🤟🏻

In that case, it’s a bloody lovely bass and you should buy it immediately. Seriously, mine’s really good!

Now fixed! Also further improve'lences: (1) Changed the tone cap in my D-Roc from 47nF to 100nF for more range on the tone pot. (2) Added a passive tone control to my NG2. At first I tried a dual concentric volume and tone but it never looked right (wrong finish for a start) and was fiddly. Then I fitted a push-push pot to engage a dark tone by shunting the output to ground via a 47nF cap. This meant leaving the knob sitting well clear of the body or else it wouldn't work. I didn't care for that, so I fitted a push-pull pot instead - the knobs are plenty grippy! Here it is with the passive treble cut engaged:
