Yes, I would imagine so. It's not in danger of turning into a singularity any time soon...

Thick and chunky. I was careful to put it in the same place with regard to scale length as it would be on a T-40.

There's a Peavey T-40 pickup in my DeArmond Jet Star, if that counts? I didn't do the clever tone control thing though, just a simple switch for series/single.

I awake from hibernation this coming weekend! If you're in or near Aberdeen or Peterhead, get off your fat one, come to one of my gigs and heckle me! Friday 23rd it's original music time with The Inevitable Teaspoons at Drummonds in Aberdeen. Music from from 8.45pm (we're on about 10.30pm), free entry. https://www.facebook.com/events/1393956658848714 Then Saturday 24th it's rock/indie covers time with Nine Lives at The Harbour Lights in Peterhead. Free entry, music 9-12. The snow's gone, you've got no excuse!

Aye, but who's going to be mad enough to issue that?

You've got this year to buy them, I'm aff it!

"Can you give me a strap button for my Kay?" "Aye, that seems like a fair swap..."

Replacing regular ones with straplocks would be... Just use Grolschlocks, one free with every beer!

I would imagine so.

I should point out that this is banter, I fear I might be coming across a bit too serious. Just digging you in the ribs...

Oh aye? Got an order number, have you?

If you pay the luthier a deposit in this calendar year, I'd say you're out. Talk is cheap...

Agreed, don't mess about with it any further. And if it is dodgy then shame on the retailer for flogging it as B stock - gotta check these things

In my limited experience with Bax, they'll deliver in the end. Might take a while, but I got mine - even a company bankruptcy didn't stop them.

This smells like preventative maintenance to me. Nah, I'd be inclined to ignore this.

This example is a T1 for me - it's going on a bass pedalboard. It's being used with a bass. There is a certain "spirit" to this challenge which should be upheld, and use case is an important factor otherwise we'd have everyone claiming that every pedal which is not specifically marketed as a "bass" pedal is a T2. Nah, I'm not having it. People gotta be honest with themselves. If you fire bass signals through it, it's a bass pedal. Come on, you're fooling no-one I know this is a bit of fun, but that is a principle I am going to stick to in any of my adjudications. Yes, Neep is the mean judge, the one you hope you don't get, the one with the gavel worn down to almost the handle...

If they were out of phase, you would hear a very noticeable drop in output and a thin, nasal tone. From what you've written here, I think you're in phase. If you're feeling adventurous, swap the hot and ground wires of one of the pickups and see what difference it makes. Or just leave it, because what you describe sounds fine to me.

Well, I'm going to be a meanie and call shenanigans on this one. Was it necessary to make the MultiFX work? Presumably the MultiFX worked fine before, it was just a bit fiddlier to select stuff? You could argue that it's not specifically bass gear, but it's being used to control bass gear and you could argue that a Line6 M5 is not specifically bass gear and then where would we be? It's a T2 fail at the very minimum, and that's if I'm being charitable. It's creeping into T1 territory because of the use case. I would also argue that something which manipulates the signal chain IS in the signal chain. It's not a strap, is it? Seems like an indulgence to me, but maybe I haven't had it explained sufficiently for my pea brain to figure it out. Happy to hear any rebuttal of the above.

No. You tell with your ears.

Well, you're the one who declared yourself out, I'm just going by what you said. I don't even know what one of those is, except what the words mean. Can you give us some detail about what it is and what it is used for?

Well, someone's gotta be first. Congratulations!

Not in the signal chain, an accessory. I don't think it counts.

I've only ever played one Rick, and it was... ok. Wasn't awful, but didn't blow my hair back either. Looked nice. But it never sparked a desire in me to ever own one.

I wish you good fortune on your downsizing quest.
