Typically warrantee is to the original purchaser for a year or two for a clear manufacturing defect. If you're saying the pickups are too narrow it's a bit harder as the builder could claim it's a deliberate design decision... It gets murkier if it's a custom instrument - say I got someone to build me a bass, I might insist on having some kind of unsuitable pickups put in it, the builder might explain why not too but I go for it... then I sell the bass to someone else, why should the builder have any liability to a third person's opinion on my design choice? So if it's a production bass that's just had the wrong pickups stuck in it.... you might have a course to ask nicely for that to be corrected. If it's a custom instrument that as you say the person it was custom built for had no problem with, and your playing style means it is a problem - I don't think the original builder has any legal or moral reason to support you. If this is the pink bass I'm guessing it is and you had bought it after seeing clear photos on a site like Basschat then I think caveat emptor might apply as sadly for you the issue you describe is clearly visible.

how do you know this? and if it is super secret will you have to leave the country and go into hiding from the MXR agents?

I get points for effort if not distance … Bus to station Edinburgh to Glasgow on train, walk across Glasgow centre, train to paisley, bus to random suburb and then back the other way… why the extra points, it was a peavey t40 in its case and another bass or something I forget. The bass anlone was over 14lb. Ever tried to carry a T40 by hand across the central belt? Couldn’t even switch hands because of whatever the other thing was, a combo amp maybe??

I love the P&C circuit, I love how it gets distorted and metalic rather than agggressive

where on the neck isthe buzz coming from?

That looks lush

It's a real spring reverb!!! you masochist not board mounting your pots!!

You know we are all contractually obliged to share gut shots on anything you build yourself!

The slab board would be the biggest giveaway for me as a non expert

Hello! Well I think I used this paper way before then... I think I set up a custom paper size in my printer (and design software)

see... that's interesting... thats the thing where it's building on something new and you can have a reasonable assumption that it's not going to end up not being developed on

even though I lurk in this thread - as lets face it vintage instruments look great sometimes - I'm really glad you, and a few others warned me away from the whole minefield when I was thinking of getting a P bass. The fact the refinished £4k '64 I was looking at popped up with another seller 6 months later as all original £17k says a lot...

The TC impulse has quite a high max length from memory. Not tried it

I think I’ve seen a thread about “Aion’s non working mid control” on talkbass refer to this thread. a good case study for how a post asking a question becomes an internet “fact”! Apparently the Aion kit is like the real thing and matches the original schematic, apparently it works and sounds good - so if you want the Traynor sound crack on and get building. if you want to start modding the circuit and changing the tone stack like Bremen is suggesting… it’s DIY so try it out and enjoy yourself…

Brian Wamplers courses online are also supposed to be decent. More circuit design than PtP primers

I just refund this thread, got slightly excited and then looked at our calendar. Next year, might see if @jimbobothy wants to join me! Though to be fair going up Ingleborough would be fun too!

AI isn’t smart, it just copies existing things - and the image libraries they are copying (like a regular google image search) mostly have copywrite held by someone else. Either a company or artist (imagine an image of Daffy Duck or David Hockney image) or owned by someone else (my holiday snaps of my kids meeting Daffy Duck at Disneyland or Tate gallery’s photo of a Hockney image) so while AI could make me look like Daffy Duck in a hockney photo - it has no right to the images it’s training itself on. which isn’t good.

Is this where every single “what bass is best for x” you’ll pop up and say “oh a soloking”?

I was trying to work out why you had a lanyard with JD Vance’s face on it
