I guess so - but 70s JB pickups aren't exactly something you can pick up off Thomann or Gear4Music, so if you really needed a set, your only option might be with a bass attached! If the calculation was to flip the bass for around what you paid for it, it sort of makes sense.

Yes, nothing else I can really add, incredible bass player and it seems like an even better human

I have no expertise at all but I have the feeling it was a typo and @Phil Starr missed out a zero: 110.15?

Dave kindly let me buy back my short scale Bass when I realised I still needed one after all in ‘my dotage’ Perfect transaction as ever with second to none communication skills & a pleasure to deal with from start to end. Thanks again Dave👍

One of my friends despises him 😆.He likes him as much as I ‘like’ Corden . I don’t dislike Miranda ,but she seems very wooden like. Sherwood Forest and very one dimensional with the on purpose gormless look. She is about as funny as Mel and Sue . ( is it Mel?🤔) 2 unfunny individuals who seem to have an in joke thing going on that I cannot be bothered to find out what it is .

Hi Pete, I just ran this and my Firefox browser got a very good report. I have Privacy Badger, but also saw a very strong recommendation for Ublock Origin. The guy who recommended CYT thought that Tor, Mulvad and Brave were the best browsers. I've never heard of them. I'm very non technical and all this is a puzzle to me. Thanks for the reply.

I felt enthused enough to think about what I was doing. For regular gigging I had a series of patches with various distortions, flanger, and generators (I play background chords and other effects as well), and when playing I switched between them with a external midi controller (as it is unreliable switching patches on the dwarf). There is a huge gap between pedal switches, so your post made me think, why am I even switching patches when I could easily just switch effects on and off. So now I have redone it all into one big more thought out patch, where I just turn on distortions or not (actually switch channels, I have several distortion sections from a mild overdrive to OTT and switch between them), and the synth parts I just switch the midi between the channels - at the moment the only problem is the footswitch switches between bank 1 and bank 2 and I have to remember which is which, for some reason you can't rename the output! At the moment it isnt right, the mild distortion is too mild, the heavy distortion too heavy and the echo is way ott, but enough that I can gig it and after each gig I can modify it.

I've printed mine and they assume a square edge. I think I'll do some rounding on the dges and do a redesign of them Rob

Also because the plastic corners do need a rounded edge, or at least the ones I’ve used did.

General consenus and 'the rest could be anything'? People do change their pickups - just look at this site - there's hundreds of people swapping out pickups. If you have a look at the photos of the Gardiner Houlgate auction and compare to the Gumtree bass, I'd say everything matches except the Gumtree bass has - for some reason - P90 pickups in it. As I said in the original thread I posted, that seller doesn't seem to stock junk. He's had some spectacular kit through.

We've got quite a lot of strange perspex boxes made by our workshops (for laboratory experiments). It's heavy and prone to cracking, but you could certainly do it with the right cutting blades and drill bits. But if you wanted it to sound good you'd need some kind of wadding inside which might spoil the look.
