Already set. No idea what this chap’s issue is - still nothing. I wouldn’t mind but he was the one who made the offer!

Thanks!

From memory, lowpass, res+, and gain about half-way, and buffered (not tru) bypass, though I'll have a check.

Grr. He made the flaming offer too! And from his username he's into this sort of thing, so it's not some rando spammer/scammer. Boils my fosters, so it does.

Freebie! Awesome. Good spot. I am well jeal.

I've just sold a fairly expensive (£1,500) item on eBay, by accepting a bidder's offer on a BIN. He made the offer at around 3pm yesterday. I sent an invoice and asked when he wanted to collect (it's a large item). No response. I sent another message yesterday evening (as prompted by eBay) asking when he would like to collect. No response. I'm fairly sure eBay send him reminders - when I last bought something collect only I recall I was bombarded with reminders to 'pay now' (presumably so they got their cut via Paypal before it was spun off). I appreciate everyone is busy, but he made the offer. How long is reasonable to wait before relisting? It's particularly annoying as it was on a £1 FVF so if I have to relist again, it's going to cost me £150 or so. I need to get it shifted ASAP (already bought its replacement 😜) so don't want to have to wait until the next £1 offer comes along.

Ah, so not 'fit and forget'. Ah well. I will keep playing then. Deffo set to 100% wet! When I can get it working it's great.

First one similar, but much less - it's sort of the like when the sweep switch is down it's doing nothing until driven by another pedal. It's a bit more responsible when up, so closer to your recording. V odd.

I'd be surprised if that's the case - I have tried with both directly in and get the same issue, and I'd have thought the out from the preamp pedal would be at the appropriate output level. It has an input sensitivity adjustment but that seems to make no difference either.

I picked up a 3leaf GR2 fairly recently, but I've been having problems getting it to 'trigger' correctly. Basically when I play 'normally', even with sensitivity high, I struggle to get it to make any noticeable difference to the sound. If I run a fuzz beforehand then it's fine, quacky as anything. I've tried using the fuzz in and out of the effects loop with no discernible changes. The signal chain is bass>preamp pedal>octaver>fuzz>GR2. I've adjusted the trimpot inside and it was better, but still not full on squelch. It sort of seems that the signal coming into it isn't hot enough, but that isn't right as I'm using an active bass, and there's also a preamp pedal at the beginning of the signal chain. It's the same whether in the effects chain or plugged directly into the pedal. It's really odd because the setup has been fine with other filter pedals I've used; I have an old Boss FT2 which works fine (albeit not as well sonically) as the GR2 should, and the SourceAudio filter I had before also worked with the same setup. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a stone outbuilding which was one of the reasons we bought the house. There's been a spate of scallies doing the rounds recently, with both of our cars having been done over in the last few weeks, so I've ordered a steel security door to fit to replace the shonky old wooden one. When we bought, the building seemed fine, but we realised it was very damp - ended up having to have it all tanked and now run a dehumidifier in there permanently.

Had a look and couldn't find it on the main site, but did find this (which is probably what I was thinking of before): http://contact.bartolini.net/support/solutions/articles/5000657120-yamaha-basses-pickups-and-electronics Which suggests there are some which fit with a bit of infilling at either end. EMG 45's might also fit, again with the infilling, though I think they're 6-string pickups. Nordstrand can probably do you some custom ones to fit directly, but likely to be £££.. https://nordstrandaudio.com/pages/custom-options

I thought Bartolini used to make Yamaha replacement pickups to fit?

Wow, Andy. I really don't like headless basses, but I LOVE that. Absolutely superb, @Jus Lukin is a very lucky chap!

I do - badly. It works - someone who knows what they are doing showed me it's eminently possible and works fine, it's just my technique is poor.

Looks like someone cut up a Peavey logo.

You can stop boggling. Musicianship isn’t a protected characteristic in law and thus choosing a musician over a non-musician would not be an act of unlawful discrimination. Stop trying to find offence where non exists.

Wow Andy, that really looks like one of your best. Stunning now - can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.

Standard mic lead should be fine. Switch the DI to line level rather than mic on the amp to start - if that is too quiet, try mic (but have everything turned down). Only use ground lift if you're getting any hum etc. Check whether you can change the input gain on the mic inputs from mic to line too - sometimes you can pad them (not familiar with your device though). Edit: or, if it will accept it, take a DI out to jack in on your device - usually the jack inputs are line level.
