Painting is done. Slight scar from the outline of bridge pickup, but it's fine.

Just spotted these, seller looks genuine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/357384922228

I love Deftones and they're one of my favourite bands, but I'm not that bothered about going to see them - primarily because I'm not sure there's a sound man alive who can make their sound work live. I think I'll settle for the gigs I've already been to.

I was thinking of making a small battery powered pedalboard based around a valeton GP-5, and maybe a tonex one.

Welcome Matt.

It's a mini. I used to have an 4x8 and the matching 1x15 many years ago. I sold the 4x8 but the 15 wasn't sounding right so put it aside. Cut to this year and I wanted to have a second smaller rig option so I spoke to Dave Green at Ashdown and bought a Celestion 400w from them and put that in the cab it it's sounding perfect now. As previously mentioned I tracked down a 4x8 which I have no intention of selling on 😁

I’ve missed out on several basses for not much money but was already stretched as it was so it couldn’t happen. I always just hope that one day I will be in the right place right time, but in the meantime enjoy what I have.

You could add some water to the titebond if it's too thick to run into the crack, maybe a little "pumping" with the headstock to let the glue run into the crack. Edited 22 minutes ago by RonC Pretty much what these guys are saying. Personally, I would not use typical luthier adhesives (they are for joints you want to open up again in future). I would get hold of a top quality aliphatic adhesive like Super 'Phatic. This a super thin, super strong adhesive with excellent penetrating powers. Open up the crack as much as you can with safety and allow lots of Super 'Phatic in - it will wick right into the joint. Leave it for about a minute, then clamp the joint closed (have all your clamps and weights ready before you start). It's NOT a superglue so won't haze the finish and you can clean up with a damp cloth as soon as the crack is closed. The set adhesive is utterly waterproof - I have repaired ceramic plates with it, and they have survived years of use and even going through the dishwasher afterwards. https://deluxematerials.co.uk/products/super-phatic

I've done plenty of those type of repairs and to date they've all remained stable.

Nice bass.

Hi everyone, Just ulling my '82 Peavey TNT130 to bits to put new capacitors in and pulled the speaker so I could examine the back of it. It is definately not the original speaker, doesn't look like any Peavey speaker I can find. It is really heavy, cast aluminium, I tested it and it is 4ohms. Thanks in advance.

I would take it to someone else, that looks like it closes up just fine so shouldn't be a particularly difficult job.

Jazz basses are innately lower output. I never have any problems as I adjust the gain to compensate almost without thinking.

Finalised the current layout for my second board: TC PolyTune Mini3 -> Fuzzdog Mr Creosote DIY kit (Phat Phuk B)-> Schu-Tone FLOverdrive -> MXR Bass Envelope Filter -> MXR Bass Octave Deluxe -> Schu-Tone Finn Chorus -> Fuzzdog Bass Fuzz Blender DIY kit (Tall Font Muff with mods) -> ShiftLine Olympic MkIIIS. Pedaltrain Metro16 and powered by a Cioks DC7. Si
