[quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1356864277' post='1914339'] Not just Sweden, I've seen this in local jams right here. I remember when I first started playing bass around 2000 and thought the best way to get myself out there was turning up to jams where I'd previously played guitar. My first bass was a cheap, but pretty good quality Yamaha RBX and I overheard disparaging comments from the resident P playing bassist about 'modern' basses. I didn't get to play that night. [/quote] Please do tell which Jam this was.

Never come across 2.3mm. 2.5mm is the next size up which are readily available.

At our last gig where I was using my usual trusty Stingray 5, I mentioned that I had recently acquired a '73 Precision. Singer says "Oh a proper bass".

To go from iPad Stereo to LB Mono then you need to mix the left and right signals down to mono using 22K resistors.

Be aware that some Japanese made 70's reissue Jazzes do not have 70's pick-up spacing.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1355736197' post='1901847'] I sent Rob at Status a message and he said you can get a satin finish to the back of their necks, it's an additional £40. Looking at a few pics on Google it looks like the Status necks have jumbo frets rather then the smaller ones on the original MM necks is that true obbm? [/quote] I can't be certain however they look and feel the same as the frets on both my '73 Precision and '80 pre-EB Ray. They are certainly not vintage as my MIJ Jazz was refretted with them. Also they are lower profile than on a couple of other basses I've owned which had jumbo frets.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1355571376' post='1900020'] I seem to remember OBBM saying in a previous thread that it's a little heavier then a standard neck. [/quote] I'm not so sure now because it weighs 9lb 4oz which is lighter than my Sterling, plus it has two batteries, one for the pre-amp and one for the side LEDs. Anyone got the weight of a stock single pick-up SR5 as a comparison?

If you want it all 3 speakers getting the same amount of power then the single speaker will have to be another 16-ohm driver. This will give you 3 x16-ohm speakers in parallel and a combined impedance of 5.3-ohms.

Agree with all the positive comments above. I've had a Status neck on a Stingray 5 for almost 8 years. Rob Green at Status fitted it for me. It is still my favourite bass and the most often gigged.

Well done that man.

Turn my back for a few minutes and suddenly it's all over. Matt P wins.

OK I'll continue this with the offer of a used once1m Speakon to Speakon for whoever posts #99. Merry Xmas everyone.

Ooooh. Can I join in?

It's all down to headroom. A circuit designed to run on 18-volts has more headroom than one designed to run on 9. You can't just add another battery as the biasing of the components will be all wrong.

Don't use speaker cable. You need either screened pair mic cable or single core screened instrument cable.

Large bodied Framus Star. They made two versions, large body with twin pickups and small body with a single pickup.. I know because I had a small bodied 30-inch scale version.
