    I had a 200MB for years, the original speaker expired and I put a replacement in that wasn't as good, eventually found I could get a Pyle speaker identical to the original so got that and it was good again. I eventually found I wasn't using it any more and sold it. Now I find that a tiny combo weighing just over my 10kg limit would fill my needs for some things I'm doing, and @Thornybank pointed me at one at Fair Deal Music. Dropped in there today, gave it a quick whirl (I'd forgotten just how loud they go), and took it away with me. Jam night tonight so that'll be its first outing.

    I expect they'll be the same quality as JMJ mustang bass but less roadworn. If so they'll be worth every penny.

    D is the original solid state preamp, compact chassis. 350W or 800W WD is Walkabout, class D, 800W BD is Bass 400, class D, 800W TT is Tri-Tube Topology, class D, 800W (I wanted to name it TD, but that name is already trademarked by Lab Gruupen, used in class TD) 😥

    The Stinger, the OSH Park circuit, and the Classic Preamp are all the same circuit. I didn't try it with the original pickup but with the Warman MM5 it sounds fine.

    I have known Stan for years, he’s one of the best service engineers in the UK and maybe all of Europe IME.

    For a one-off job, cutting by hand with a scroll saw is probably best (easiest/cheapest/safest). Get as close to the line as you can with the saw, then file the edges smoother if needed and use a razor to scrape down to the final shape and to do the bevel. A router works well (template bit for the outline and a chamfering bit for the chamfer, obvs), but only if you have a template to work from. 12mm MDF at a minimum, 20mm or more is better as it's stiffer and gives a more solid footing for the router base. For a one-off this is more work than just doing the plate by hand, but even if you only need two the same it makes more sense (so they'll be exactly the same shape).

    I’d be more than happy to see @police squad & @hiram.k.hackenbacker doing their respective sets, great tunes.

    My understanding is yes, it should fit the design right up to 2018 when they re-invented the Stingray with the smaller tuners etc. Yes, postage (within the UK) is included.

    Also more than the market rate for JV Squiers! Would be interesting to see if they’re as good.

  22. uk_lefty
    Is anybody out there using a Headrush MX5 for bass? I got hold of one a few months back and it's a great tool for home use, especially as I can put guitar through it too. I have been using a Boss ME-90B for quite some time and I enjoy it's simplicity, but sometimes wish I had presets and some more options. In the past I had an HX Stomp and found I was spending too much time on my PC editing sounds as opposed to making music. The MX5 is great because the touch screen and intuitive menus just make it so easy to use. Creating new rigs and tweaking rigs is easy, far easier than on anything I've used before. The sound quality is great at home but I am probably going to try at a gig tomorrow. While there are few options on here for specific effects and amps it feels sufficient to me. And being able to blend in guitar amps and effects, do parallel processing and stack effects in crazy ways, it makes it really flexible. I'm so impressed I'm thinking to keep hold of this and maybe even upgrade to one of the bigger Headrush units in future. However, I've been down this road with every shiny new toy and it ends up on the marketplace within a year or two. I'd be keen to hear any tips and tricks from any other MX5 users.

    As new still sealed in packs, 3 sets available £10.50 per set including postage. I have been trying various brands of strings on a number of basses, whilst these are very nice I'm going to Dunlop's for my fretted Warwick. To my ears the Eden's seem similar to Rotosounds, maybe not quite as 'zingy' initially.

    Now £90.00. Boss RV-6 for sale, this one is mint and in perfect working order, no box, collection welcome or UK insured postage for £8.50 BOSS RV-6 Reverb Effects Pedal Combining high-end sound and wide-ranging versatility, the BOSS RV-6 takes pedal-based reverb to the next level. Reaching beyond the capabilities of previous generations, this powerful stomp employs the latest tech and legendary BOSS know-how to make it easy to get amazing reverb tones instantly. From subtle rooms to modern shimmer effects to long, evocative reverbs, the RV-6 envelops your tone in lush ambient spaces that endlessly inspire. BOSS RV6, Simply Great-Sounding Reverbs Packing the latest BOSS DSP and updated algorithms, the BOSS RV-6 gives you eight highly musical reverb effects in one compact pedal. Add body and depth to your core tone with standards like Room, Hall, and Plate, dial up swirling richness with the Modulate setting, or surf it up with a vintage-style Spring reverb. Dynamic mode automatically adjusts the effect depth to your playing touch, providing deep, immersive reverb that won’t turn your tone to mud. And modern players will love the new Shimmer and Reverb+Delay modes. Dialed-In Reverb Sounds at Your Command The BOSS RV6 makes getting high-quality reverb sounds with your guitar quick and easy—just select a sound mode, tweak the knobs to taste, and play. But while its operation is simple, the RV-6’s sound is rich and sophisticated. Under the hood, each mode includes a huge array of detailed reverb parameters, all perfectly tuned for guitar by the BOSS engineers with direct input from many pro players and sound engineers. Even as you adjust the selected mode with the Time and Tone knobs, many parameters are simultaneously adjusted inside to create the ideal voicing for every setting. Analog Dry Tone and Versatile I/O While the BOSS RV-6’s reverb effects are high-tech digital, you can rest assured that your straight guitar tone always remains pure analog as the effect is blended in. Convenient auto-switching jacks let you integrate with any pedal chain, with support for mono, mono-to-stereo, and stereo-to-stereo operation. And by plugging into the B input only, the BOSS RV6 outputs a 100-percent wet sound, great for working with more complex rigs that employ parallel processing chains and mixers. There’s also a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal, allowing you to control the effect level in real time as you play.

    Two Notes Le Bass preamp pedal with various clean and drive options. In very nice condition (very minor paint chips on side/underneath edge as seen in photos) and perfect working order. Lovely warm valve tone, I have the Revolt as well so don't need them both. Includes the original box and manual but no power supply: nothing too radical required 12v centre negative. Collection welcome or UK insured postage for £12.00

    This amazing emulation of the acoustic control corporation 360 preamplifier with variamp and built in fuzz is up for grabs. Hand made by the renowned JC Maillet and commissioned and imported by myself at great cost. I have used the 360+ for studio recordings, gigs, rehearsals and at home, it has never dissapointed. The preamp sounds fantastic and the fuzz section is the best I have used. I have owned this pedal for a good few years from new, as can be seen it's in pristine condition. Specially sourced UK power supply also included. Will happily run from other sources with the right leads (I used it with a trex chameleon). Fully detailed printed instruction manual also included. Only available as I have more preamplifiers than I can use. Try out/collection always welcome, or UK insured postage for £15.00

    That's most likely a faulty pickup. There were a batch of them apparently. I can't find the source but I looked into it a while ago.

    Thanks for the info, unfortunately he's also a very long way away, just in the opposite direction!

    Reviving this thread as I am contemplating making a replacement for the massive oval scratchplate on my Hartwood Satellite (https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Hartwood-Satellite-Bass-Guitar-Metallic-Blue/6TIG?origin=product-ads&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22258054978&gbraid=0AAAAAD_kjLRZrTmqxuNITBkj63RrM5LPQ&gclid=Cj0KCQjw267GBhCSARIsAOjVJ4EhqfQLPBb9Mn9Rcrr-nD8s_SwO4igob7SJTID7XJOdCy7ekpJS1tUaAhrREALw_wcB). Gregor from Bass the World reckoned a big mudbucker style humbucker would look and sound really great in it. I happen to have a D’Addario DP145 Will Power that I want to try in it but I want to make it a reversible mod, so want to cut an appropriate replacement scratchplate, rather than messing with the original. I was wondering what electric jigsaw blade people are using to cut the shape? Is one available for acrylic type plastics? Has any body tried a tile cutter blade, or would that be a bad idea? I need to find an oversized blank as the Satellite’s scratchplate is 48cm long! Any suggested sources?
