Have you tried just using the two 500mA outlets with a single current doubler?

I have just purchased a cheap kit from Amazon on the basis that my 25 year old Ibanez is ready to be retired and just needs a small amount of work to maybe get another few years out of it.

Yes that's the plan. Re-route for the L-1000 position. I'm new to wood working, but I think I can knock together a routing template. It shouldn't be too difficult to calculate the edge radius of the MFDs and get it neat (he says, with confidence 😆). I'm hoping to share info and measurements as I go, as there doesn't seem to be a lot out there. Let's see how far I get and I'll let you know if the spare MFD is up for sale 😀

In any case usually loose wires are spotted when your guitarist/keyboard player keeps cutting out in the middle of the gig.

No mate, I meant it's absolutely an opinion 😂 I was agreeing with your statement.... Having a rough morning? "and the "I'd say" confirms it as opinion." No it doesn't, it means that it's the truth as far as my knowledge extends. I am a fallible human with a limited brain capacity, after all. Please feel free to educate me and tell my why I'm wrong instead of being facetious ☺️

I've tried getting in there as I live in Cas, but their rates were a bit crap for our five-piece (£200 + a bucket handed round is what they suggested to me). It's a shame as I'd love to have a gig only five minutes down the road.

Hard to choose. If not something by early Chicago with Peter Cetera or 70's Doobies with Tiran Porter I think it would have to be: Guy Pratt on the phenomenal 'Toy Matinee' album:

I'll echo this for my Z7 5 that just arrived...it also also need a good setting u...., i learnt long ago to throw away any cream cheese allen keys that come with guitars/basses and bought a full boxed set of hardened steel imp/metric keys , you can get these for about £10, these days, they get used and put right back in the case so i don't have to hunt them down to the bottom of the tool box! I have to say i do really like the Sire Z7 - 5 & after a setup/oil and fret polish it's an amazing feeling/sounding bass and is way way better than many basses that i've paid x3-4 more for in the past...the only neg's for me are over all weight and neck drive when sitting (due to the way to short lower horn, even on the 2nd gen)...both thigs mean it's going to be on the 4 sale block over the weekend.. shame because it really is a great bass

This popped up on my YouTube feed yesterday . I don’t know who the bass player is doing the demos . She has a lot of knowledge,while going through many basses . I immediately thought of the ME-50 B which hasn’t really been out that long . Similar price too it seems . As a person who practices at home these days and records stuff on GarageBand, this seems good . I don’t know how fiddly this would be to use in terms of menu diving etc. The ME50b is more bulky ( downside ) but seems straightforward otherwise . It looks like the GX-1B would be usb powered like the zoom B3 unlike the ME50 B which needs to be run on batteries or 9v power supply . Does the GX1 B have a looper ? It’s good that both of the units mentioned can be controlled by the Boss apps if that floats . I don’t think I’d bother though as it means more menu diving .

Indeed. It's like we get it, Jaco did you a solid and gave you the template for a fretless Jazz, but that doesn't mean that every fretless Jazz has to replicate that in some form! I mean, they even managed an unlined fretless Precision in the Tony Franklin signature (which for obvious reasons will always be named the Imprecision in my head).

Playing a 60th birthday bash tomorrow evening. Hoping I haven't forgotten how to play over Christmas...

Putting "absolutely" after an opinion still doesn't make it a fact and the "I'd say" confirms it as opinion.

Will the new stuff in Helix Stadium support the drums and synth and sequencing changes to things via midi through the song?

Which part, the last sentence? Absolutely! The part about the application of pickguards? I'd say that's accurate

That is an opinion, but not absolute fact.

On an acoustic instrument where you need to strum for volume, I can understand a guard (but I'd prefer not to have one) but on electric basses they have been almost solely cosmetic (Jazz bass) or to hide routing (P bass). Some look OK, others look tacky.

That pic is worth entering in this month's photography competition: "Grey is beautiful "

I had this too when I picked up a 70's faker. My knobs are labelled though, so this should make you feel better.
