  1. I think repairs are permitted.
  2. Current band does Twist and Shout/La Bamba, very simple, we just change the words being sung (and the singer). Previous band did Message for you Rudy/OK Fred with a tiny burst of Tide is high, again just changing the words.
  3. It has the pickup direct into the preamp already. And the 2-band EQ presumably isn't filter based as the bass and treble controls are both centre detented.
  4. No, he's now using the username "Bass Professional".
  5. Squier supply Jaguars to the Met?
  6. I put Bart MK5CBCs into mine (one of the MK-1s was faulty) and it seems fine to me - original preamp.
  7. Or it was done in the 1980s when it was a cheapo junk bass and someone thought it would help stop neck dive, or wanted to make the headstock look a bit like a Vox. See also the addition of a J pickup to 70s P basses.
  8. Should really have had a look at the volume pot I was replacing before ordering - it's not a 25k, it's 500k. So I shall just await the arrival of everything else and make and install the replica early Stingray preamp.
  9. You might find it becomes hypersensitive for a little while until everything settles down.
  10. Lovely Ritter. I think the Roya shape is fantastic, a couple of my Antoniotsais are definitely homages to it (I didn't know about Ritter when I bought them).
  11. If you look at your attachments, you can spot the really big ones. On the right hand side of the attachments page you can see any posts that the attachment is used in, so you can edit the post and substitute the smaller image. Something else to consider is that if you have the same image in more than one post, make sure you "insert existing attachment" rather than re-uploading the picture - give them meaningful names and you'll be able to search for them afterwards.

  13. The "electric classical guitar" is top-notch, there's me thinking that the indicators of a classical guitar were the nylon strings and flat fretboard and a 48-52mm nut width whereas it's actually metal strings, a radiussed fretboard, and a 54mm nut width. Plus the colour-coded bridge pieces so you know which ones are the E strings. That J with the two single coils wired as a "humbucker" - isn't the idea of a humbucker that one coil is wound one way, the other is wound the other way, then they're connected such that the signal is additive but the ambient electrical noise cancels out? So how would that work with two single coils wound the same way? Unless he's using "buck" with the meaning "increase" (buck up) rather than "oppose" (buck the trend).
  14. I know. Haven't you ever had to click on a load of pictures of fire hydrants, traffic lights, or pedestrian crossings?
  15. You'll also get big image sizes if you copy the image and paste it into a post, as it will generate an "image.png" file in PNG format which will be larger than it need be.
  16. Please, not another Captcha.
  17. You didn't state facts, you stated opinions. What has "woke" got to do with anything? Looks like there's still no reason to take you out of the ignore list.
  18. Look for Mark Wright Music on Facebook. He's a former Line 6 employee who does repairs - it would be worth talking to him.
  19. Is that done by using two class D modules in opposite phase to each other (I feel that was a trick that Ashdown may have missed out on with the Superfly and Superduperfly)?
  20. There's always the risk it could be taken seriously... I'm certainly not the only one on here who came to bass via guitar - don't know if we're in the majority, if not we're a substantial minority. Guitar is a useful skill to have as you think more around chord structures. Keep meaning to work on my almost non-existent keyboard skills too.
  21. Thanks, I have TL061 on the way - if I manage to keep my enthusiasm going long enough, I'll build a tantalum and an electrolytic version, with IC sockets on both so I can swap op amps if I want.
  22. messy, tiring, often frustrating or disappointing, generally better with more than one participant, and sometimes you get paid for it.
  23. Unfortunately not currently available. Continuing with plan A. I'll see about using tants instead of electrolytics, although I'm not sure that it would actually make a difference. There's LM4250CNs on Ebay but I'm not sure that they really are, there's some suggested replacements available from Farnell: LT1097CN8 LT1012DN8 LT1351CN8
  24. Ordered a Stingray preamp PCB (same circuit as the Retrovibe Stinger) from OSHPark. I shall reflect on the pickup once I've got the pot replaced as the original is a 2-wire pickup and it would be nice to have a 4-wire with switchable series/parallel. I think I have some pickup height adjusting to do.
