Firstly - tidy job there....all very neat and pro-style ! Adding bass by increasing the coupling caps can, in my experience, take you down a very mushy route - often as not I've found the tone changes a lot when you allow more bass. YMMV of course - some add component sockets to you can try different coupling caps to see which sounds best. Polarity inversion can be performed with a single transistor stage wired as an inverting buffer (I'd try an Alembic Stratoblaster as a good simple design - I'm pretty certain it inverts...someone will be me straight if not) HtH Edit: One thing I've been tempted to try instead of a blend, is to ape the Boss LS-2 and rather than blending, having two volumes for the clean and effected. I've had variable results with blend circuits before.

Fender Custard Shop ?

I'd hang fire for a bit - a month's not too long in the scheme of things and if she's a good singer then you'd be onto a winner. They've been upfront about the wait, which is to their credit, so if there's no reason to doubt them (and you're not losing out too much).. ....have patience Grasshopper

Where's Ray ? He's our Twickersman isn't he ?

Glad you got it working. I've enjoyed coming back to this thread - very time I see the graphics and styling of the amp in the pic, a bit of me whizzes back to 1986 and my starting out playing bass.

[quote name='drTStingray' timestamp='1463919128' post='3054925'] The video would have enlightened you about this historic bass - that might have enabled you to take an informed view about it rather than simply making negative comments based on presumption or preconceived ideas. But hey ho, this is the Internet after all. [/quote] I'm sorry if I've caused such offence, it wasn't my intention to inflame things so.

Jazz every time.

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1463836221' post='3054457'] Yes, of course it's marketing. It's how companies sell things. Given that the video is less than ten minutes long, could you not have reached the end and then decided. [/quote] No, but you're right, given what it was I should have just given it a miss.

[quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1459007465' post='3012807'] Hmm...Can't get past the Marketing BS. [/quote] I gave up after a minute or so for just this reason.

Great stuff. I'm the same as you sig basses - I'll not buy one cos of the connection, but if the spec is right then I'm in.

How about someone who later turned out to be a great musician ? This has just occurred to me - when I was at uni I was in a band with a chap called Matthew Rochford, I shared a house with him later on...but that's another story. Anyhow, his brother came down to visit a couple of times, maybe about 1990 Great lad, lots of fun to hang out with....was quite a good drummer my buddy said. His brother was Seb Rochford...later to be BBC Jazz Award winner and member of experimental jazz band Polar Bear. He is a [i]very[/i] good drummer.

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1463742489' post='3053736'] Was yours awful too? [/quote] I don't really remember, but I found out pretty quickly that 30w isn't worth squat against a 16-year old drummer !

[quote name='bartelby' timestamp='1463738585' post='3053699'] I had a 30w bass Linebacker amp in that styling in 1988. If that's any help... [/quote] Then we had the same amp....I think I got mine in 86 !

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1463693249' post='3053491'] Ridiculous. I just keep mine on the floor by my armchair... [/quote] Most civilised ! I find that in a pinch a local guttersnipe can be pressed into pipe portage for a farthing.

[quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1463692252' post='3053479'] Yeah, I wish they sounded that nice when I played them. [/quote] I think we're hearing an awful lot of DI

That's a stingray and no mistaking !!

Cool idea....very interested to see how it turns out

Good god....you're not wrong !

[quote name='Nicko' timestamp='1463666742' post='3053221'] That was probably grime on the lens though [/quote] With eyesight like mine, everyone is ready for their close up.

Everything was better in... soft focus ?
