I've finally got to play with my AH300 today. It's awesome, but there's some strange behaviour. The front panel has lamps for pre-shape, valve, compressor, effects loop, etc. and the pedal board has the same set of lamps. I'm assuming the same lights should be lit on both panel and pedal board. But when pressing various panel switches or foot switches it's easy to get them out of step - e.g. valve lamp is lit on the panel, but out on pedal board. I press either switch and it swaps over. Is this anyone has experienced before? Google AI seems to think it's a common problem, but I can't find any real website with information.

oops, sorry. I’ve already started on it, obviously…..

Excellent Len, but please take that 'e' out of 'whisky' - it's from Skye, not Newtonards.

When the Cort Space 5 came out, they were £50 cheaper than anywhere else.

the wife “suprised” me with a hipshot detuner for my jazz. 🙂

As regards V/B/T, I thought I should post a version of the wiring diagram that I worked from: This may be clearer: In this, the opposite ends of both tracks are cross-connected, rather than leaving one end floating as in the diagram in the OP.

A new folding music stand. For practising, definitely not performing 😂 A nice plaid shirt, which will appear on stage with me some time soon. A bottle of Talisker malt whisky for inspiration.

It looks very much like the bigger rounded 70s style - which I much prefer aesthetically. Obvious it would be preferable not attached to a guitar …

It'll be similar to mine, then. Mine's late 1990's and it's a beast.

Ah well. One arrives courtesy of Mrs T and My folks next week, early 2000’s Korean made one.

It's not for sale, but if you still need one I'm happy to lend it to you in the medium/long term.

Apparently it has a PCB the size of the whole interior, but the actual circuit is the same size as in small one, leaving a vast empty board which looks comically weird.

Well done Skank, IBTL!!

Mrs Zero had her hip replaced, and I was given a date for my hip replacement, so that's quite good, although we had to postpone our summer holiday by 12 months as a result.

I also struggled to hear the difference between the three 'Voicing' settings. I can only imagine it is more noticeable on guitar. I also didn't much care for the 'Mode' settings. They all sounded kind of the same, except the original Jive setting, which had drive only in the last 5th of the travel of the gain knob. I love the original Jive, but this version disappointed me.

Ooft. If only I’d known.

My main regret about not playing guitar any more is that my Sheraton just lives under my bad, waiting.

That’s a looker! nobody has mentioned overwater yet but they make fantastic Jazzes and mine was only £500 more than a Fender artist series but I got a lot more custom options (flame top, matching headstock, ebony board)

Maybe this should become a BC tradition - everyone with an Elf gets a turn at putting it somewhere odd in December and posts a picture. Hang on, this is BC - visits to A+E would become commonplace, so maybe scratch that idea!

It was Peach Guitars in Colchester. Not a dedicated bass store obviously, but a good selection and great staff.
