    [quote name='Sharkfinger' timestamp='1381321195' post='2237492'] When I had the EMG active circuit in my P lyte, I had a wiring harness that would switch between 9V and 18V. The thinking was that with 18V there was more headroom and with 9V it lasted twice as long. It was snug but it all fit. No soldering required, plugs straight onto your existing harness where the battery would go. That's not what you asked but if you can't put a box in there and don't want to have it routed, it may be your next best option.

Did you just leave the switch inside the cavity of drill through and mount it on the front? What was the effect (volume / tone) when you run on 18v mode?

    [quote name='ikay' timestamp='1381313353' post='2237283'] Another option would be to mod the control cover to attach with small disc magnets like this: [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pack-of-50-small-Neodymium-disk-magnets-4mm-dia-x-1-5mm-N35-grade-craft-wargames-/130970602265?"]http://www.ebay.co.u...-/130970602265?[/url] [/quote] I like this idea!! I wonder if the magnets interfere with the electrics in anyway though?

    Brought my Warwick bass amp from me, and was a pleasure to deal with Thanks! Greg

    Hi Peeps, Thanks for the info. It is only 4 screws but the screw holes get looser each time I use them - needing some 'matchstick' repairs - plus, as I don't use the bass that often, I'd also like to be able to remove the battery easily during the times I'm not using the bass. I'll have a look at the Gotoh flip battery holder - also I will see if anyone has some suitable plastic for sale to make a new cover - it is a good idea to keep the original; thanks for that suggestion too.

    Most cars which can have the front seat laid flat - bass (on its side - bridge facing the gear stick), scroll pointing towards the parcel shelf. Seat belt around the bass = job done. Passenger can sit behind you. Boot free for: amp / stool / food / drink I learnt this from my first car - well my dad's anyway - a saloon Triumph Aclaim (auto, beige seats, sick green outside). Still practice said position in all subsequent cars! I like having my bass laying next to me - we have a little chat on the way to gigs!

    Sometimes it's nice to get another set of eyes on a problem or small issue though, particularly if you want to test various settings and options out. Recently, I took my Sei back to Martin at The Gallery for a set-up: Yes, I can do this myself, but I wanted to discuss some options for different strings, and potential pick-up and wiring changes etc. The £35 he charged, combined with the hour or so I chatted with him about the bass - and playing through different amps, along with the work he did, and subsequent discussion afterwards (and the cup of coffee) was more than worth it in my opinion. PLUS, it was a good excuse to have a day in London and have a look around The Gallery too. As a tutor, I have played several of my student's basses, which were apparantly set-up by the local music store upon purchasing. It is these set-ups that are usually, in my opinion, not brilliant. With this in mind, I teach all my pupils how to change strings, make small adjustments to the neck, correct the intonation and about other mantainance. Greg

    Hello

    Hi! Welcome back to the deep end Greg

    Hi, Has anyone routed a hole / cavity specifically to allow a flip-up battery holder (for quicker changes) in a P bass lyte? Or is there a better way to replace the battery other than undoing the back panel? - Would there be a method of recharging a re-chargeable battery, with some sort of adaptor??? [b]OR:[/b] Is there a way of fitting two batteries with a selector switch - so if one battery goes dead mid-song / gig, a switch can select the second battery? - A bit like the reserve fuel tank fitted in old Jaguars?

    [quote name='51m0n' timestamp='1379897578' post='2218061'] A great sounding instrument, played by a good player, [color=#ff0000][b][u]in a great sounding room[/u][/b][/color], mic'ed by a good engineer, with a suitable mic in the right place to best capture it. Printed via decent Mic pres and DA converters. Bust one of those and you might get lucky, more than one and you'll have an inferior recording every time..... [/quote] + position in room too. I still find it amamazing how much a room and your placement within it distorts the recorded sound of an acoustic instrument- even with a close-up microphone.

    I tried downloading a track today off iTunes - the track was not available. It [b]was [/b]available from USA iTunes, but I'd have to open up a USA account. Same thing happened with Amazon.co.uk - and would not let me purchase said track from Amazon.com. I'm presuming it's just down to copywrite issues, but in this modern world we live in, surely MP3's should be easier to get hold of! The track by the way was nothing out of the ordinary - Little Thoughts by Bloc Party - I was trying to get hold of a copy to get a student to play along to (and has not got internet / YouTube where I teach him). Thoughts? Greg

    For future reference (and cases where you turn up and find you caught in the situation mentioned above) grab a mat out of your car. They are usually waterproof / rubber one side, and carpet on the other. Works a treat! Greg

    [color=#ff0000][u][b]PRICE REDUCED - NOW [s]£30.00[/s][/b][/u][/color] NOW [size=5][u][color=#00FF00][b]£20.00[/b][/color][/u][/size]!!!!! For sale: Heavy duty 4U rack flight case made in England by Freestyle. The case is in reasonable condition for its age. Two things I should point out: There are a couple of marks on top (see image two) - and I have fitted wheels to one of the removable covers (again see image) but two of these have gone wobbly - so if you intend on using the wheels you'll need a quick trip to B&Q first. Other than that, this case has been a reliable and sturdy unit. Made from wood with heavy duty handles, heavy duty corners and edging, finished in black carpet. Collection from Southampton or +£12.00 postage due to size. Thanks Greg [attachment=143542:P1010997.JPG] [attachment=143543:P1010998.JPG]
