More likely to be an issue with the precise measurements of the jack socket, I suspect. I've been caught like this before with a bass where the socket & connector were perhaps 0.5mm deeper than usual and the jack plug was perhaps 0.5mm shorter than usual ... just enough overall to prevent contact being made on that one particular jack/socket combination, but they both worked fine with everything else. 🙄

Yeah, it is, that’s a typo, but I was a OC2 before I swapped them over. In a live mix you can can’t tell the difference between the OC2 and the OC5 in vintage mode. So much so, that my OC2 went back on the cabinet because the OC5 has better output and just sounded tighter overall. -
I think it’s shaping up to be very not funny. the first tone was a classic and completely original, but this one seems to be just flat. They seem to be doing the rounds and getting a lot of air time

What strings did you use for the flats? Id be looking to do the same

Anyway. @Happy Jack what flipping pick up do you use with the Lekato? (their WS-50 bug is listed at 220kOhms input impedance, same as the Joyo I think). Cos I got ZILCH through the Joyo with Underwood and Shadow (piezo). (Didn't try Bassmax actually, maybe should. Although immaterial really, cos if it doesn't work with Underwood its no good for me upright-wise.) Weird, it just crackled, farted, hinted a few bits of tone then decided it wasn't playing. I switched between cable and Line 6 and Joyo repeatedly - it only happened with the Joyo. So there's something going on there with output and impedance and all that nonsense. Hmm ... just for the mystery solving I shoulda tried pickup-preamp-Joyo. That would confirm if it's just an impedance thing. Never mind - I bought it to replace Line6 on bass guitar and it works fine with that.

I prefer the feel of my fretless and it has a different pickup config to my fretted, so I can play it to sound as close as poss to a fretted version of that bass, but still add the occasional fretless flourish if the mood takes me/is appropriate.
-
Ah I see what I did. A lazy k slipped in there! 600Hz I meant. well spotted. doh. At my age I'm lucky if I can hear as high as 600Hz, let alone 600kHz.

If you were able to dial in a tone on the HX units this will be an absolute breeze. It’s very intuitive and the way the global eq is set up fine tuning the tone is even easier as you can do those nice broad eq change to enhance more subtly or specific notching/cutting to sort out problems in a flash. I just wish I could justify the cost and not feel bad about having my pedal board sitting gathering dust. TL:DR If you can program a HX Stomp you’ll be fine! 😀

Just checked, the sliverface 50 is 26.3kgs or 57.8lbs. Ampeg SVT Classic 80lbs or 36.6kgs. I'm done carrying an SVT Classic about but I really want another one! In the interim, I'll make do with my PF50T - 10.2kgs & SVT 3pro - 12kgs but I love using my Bugera BV1001T at 3.2kgs

Very true. But is it worth playing fretless if it sounds like a fretted bass?
-
Nice board! My sight ia starting to fail me...I could have sworn that was an OC-5! 😅

Up for sale only is this rather excellent Crafted in Japan vintage white 62 reissue Fender jazz bass with upgraded Nordstrand NJ4 pickups (£160 upgrade). It also has the threaded bridge for better string spacing adjustment. It benefits from a recent fret level, crown and polish with a new set of D'Addario pro steels on. The gloss neck has also been knocked back with zero grade wire wool for a less sticky experience! Those glossy Fender necks do get a bit sticky. Plays excellently, sounds great and looks probably even better in the best colour combo (imho). Comes in a quality padded gig bag although I'm trying to source a case for it so may update the ad. That is not an anarchy symbol in the last pic, it's a reflection of my light fitting (although maybe it's an anarchic light fitting). Can ship anywhere or collection from CH43 on the Wirral Thanks for looking
