Mine comes on after 20 mins or so no matter how loud I am playing (or not) and never seems to turn off again. Contacted Aguilar and they said it was normal.

I’m pretty sure the HB1 is reversible, so you can remove the key. But I don’t know if you can get a lollipop replacement. I would email Hipshot and ask them. I’ve found them to be helpful in the past.

Any suggestions for a 1 x 8" cab for practice?
pineweasel replied to Bass Culture's topic in Amps and Cabs
Phil Jones C2 maybe? Not a 1x8 but sounds ideal for the job. -
I have a 3 or 4 pedal setup, and planning to use a small plastic chopping board, cut down to exactly accommodate them.

The branding decals - stickers, really - are the only blemish in their otherwise high quality, in my view. Several letters of my “California” fell off and while they also sent me a free replacement, it shouldn’t have happened. I wish they used water slide decals like almost every other manufacturer.

Sandberg Lionel/Superlight - Any Users Out There?
pineweasel replied to Lozz196's topic in Bass Guitars
I have a sub-7lbs TM5 Superlight which is a fabulous instrument. The only downside is that the soft body wood picks up marks easily. -
It’s the best left handed selection from Fender that I can remember. Choices at all price levels with some interesting colours available too. A five string option would be welcome.

I have a TM5 Superlight, weighing just under 7lbs. Neck dive isn’t a problem for me. On a strap it balances very well; sitting on my knee it’s slightly neck heavy, like most other Fender type designs. String spacing is adjustable from 18 to 19.5mm.

Hardly "mass produced". Electric Wood never had more than a handful of employees, and for most of their history only one or two. I bet production never exceeded 10 a week even at their peak in the 80s.

They are relatively rare. And crucially, you can't just "buy one right now". The order book is closed, there's a four year wait for those with orders, and the new price started at around £6000 the last time I looked. Scarcity is driving up used values.

1966 spec Jazz Bass: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-vintage-ii-1966-jazz-bass-left-hand/0190180805.html

Offered for sale are my TKS S112 cabs, one with a tweeter, one without. They are in excellent condition and supplied with TKS padded covers. I’ve had these for about 5 years and used to gig with them regularly, but I’m playing ampless these days, so they are surplus to requirements, sadly. They’re 8 ohm cabs handling 250w each and pair nicely with a 500w head (I used a Tone Hammer 500) to deliver a lovely tone, leaning slightly to old-school warmth but with plenty of clarity. The tweeter lets you dial in extra crispness if you need it. They look fabulous too, with the optional V-frame making them stand out. They’re also compact and lightweight at approx. 10kg each. TKS cabs have been unavailable for a few years, the company seemingly moribund, so these are hard to find. You can however still check the specs at https://tks.se I would much prefer to sell as a pair. UK postage is possible as I have boxes (cost to be determined), or they can be collected from St Albans, Hertfordshire.

Conversely "Rain", often cited as an example of McCartney's most nimble playing, was slowed down dramatically for release

Sanity Check - 4 to 5 string conversion
pineweasel replied to SamIAm's topic in Repairs and Technical
It's interesting that the Stingray 5, one of the most definitive and popular fives and in production since the late 80s, has exactly this issue. -
Maybe worth asking @blablas as he’s done a lot of Shorty customisations, for example
-
Sandbergs are adjustable, from 18 to 19.5mm. Lovely basses and generally lightweight too.
-
The two minor hardware improvements are USB-C charging, and physical volume control buttons. Both nice to have but not essential.

I’ve used quite a few headphone systems over the years and my current favourite is the Nux Mighty Plug. Very convenient, good sounds, battery lasts for ages, and you can play along with any audio you fancy played from your phone over Bluetooth.
