One question for @Phil Starr (or any other cab experts) - I'm thinking of making this a combo with a tiny 30W amp module. Would a jack socket with a hole in it like they all have be a significant problem?

If an Ibanez SRF705 should pop up, that would be well worth going for.

I filled the holes, touched the front panel back up, and put more strip on the connector plate to seal that too. All is now well. All sounding good. Better than it looks, anyway.

Good point. I shall work myself up into an appropriate frame of mind soon.

Thanks, I'm initially going to do some basic checks - IC supply voltages, ground offset from supply, see if there's signals on the + and - inputs on the op-amps and on the outputs.

Thanks, the build instructions are probably those on the website - https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung but if there's anything else I'd be glad of it.

He did originally play the Squier, then became a little bit of a gear snob and went to Fender (a proper gear snob would have gone for something good as well as expensive).

I have a sense of deja vu.

Dirty protest?

It's not really news when it's music-outlet-shop though.

Does look nice. I'd be very tempted if it had enough strings.

"A new neck and almost new body, but my tools slipped a couple of times so there are some scratches. A full pro set up by me in progress but I spoiled the new high G string so that one is different." I know that I'm a clumsy git, so I try to avoid doing too much woodworking that could be loosely described as luthiery. I don't think MDP has quite attained my level of self-awareness yet.

Mike Dirnt of Green Day with a Squier Precision signature instrument?

@disssa, do you happen to have a schematic for the Vong-Filterung? Musikding said to email Julian from Schalltechnik, which I had already done, and still no response. I saw you'd built one a couple of years ago and I wondered if you might have the schematic.

Fender doesn't/don't think it should have an apostrophe, and nor do I. The corporation doesn't belong to the instruments.

Looking at the manual, I would say so, as it includes Command Center in the set of items that is controlled in a snapshot. I haven't any experience of doing it, nor any MIDI-controlled pedals, so that's the extent of my knowledge.

I use Elites DBE for my DBE headlesses, no problems.

I always use the passive input as my active basses have the same output level as my passive basses. How many active basses have outputs which are hugely greater than passives?

You could tie a bit of rag on each of the string ends, like on lorries with long loads. Looks really good.

Yes, good clean sound, a couple of useful features - built-in tuner, built-in 9V supply for pedals, and you can switch between LIVE and STUDIO modes which changes the fan switching (and which I forgot yesterday in the studio, although it didn't matter).

Plenty of 3D violins out there, eg https://www.printables.com/model/52210-the-jax-violin-5-string-6-string, but I'm not sure how viable a 3D printed fretless bass from the same materials would be.

Basically a lawn with frets then.

I've got a couple of oscilloscopes.

Fault - no output at all. LCD comes on and changes colour with the footswitch, so power is going in. Double checked all polarities - all correct. I'll extract the boards and do another visual inspection of the joints.
