Kala solid body ubass, or a better built equivalent. Edit: oops! Missed the full scale requirement... Something ibanez soundgear-ish then.

[quote name='bassfan' timestamp='1464286771' post='3058241'] Here's the latest incarnation of my board.... Just finished patching it, now for a test! Something needs to go to make room for my future impact.... I'm thinking it's the Stanley Clarke WAH! [/quote] Awesome board! Could you mount the wireless under the board? Alternatively there's a bit of space around the edge and between the pedals - nudging them closer together and a slight reshuffle should get you the room you need.

That's lovely! Always fancied a Sadowsky (even took time out on honeymoon in NYC to visit with the man himself!) but just never pulled the trigger...

They have a kickstarter campaign for a charge pump? Now I've heard everything...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1463990685' post='3055495'] Not a bad call, but any new guard is a custom job. This isn't a Fender P obviously, it's just not that easy to find off-the-shelf guards. Besides, so many people here and over on TB have said 'leave the pearl guard!' that I'm going to delay changing it and see if it grows on me. It IS quite a good fit for my retro-country band. And doing nothing is always strong motivation for me... [/quote] There was somewhere/one on ebay that used to do replacement Lakland guards... Can't remember the name though... We'll get discreet jnr on the case and it'll be painted gold inside a week!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1463984253' post='3055439'] He's sold it. Such is the ever-spinning carousel of Basschat GAS. [/quote] What? When did this happen!?

Crying out for some tort...

So sad...

Ah, I see. Took you up all wrong. Do you have a schematic?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463686238' post='3053416'] http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/wanna-build-timmy-overdrive.html It's designed by a guy called Paul Cochrane. [/quote] Oh I know the pedal, just never heard of it being used on bass that often. Did you make a straight up Timmy or mod it for bass?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463672744' post='3053292'] Kind of. The BB has an active 2 band Baxandall EQ after the gain stage (which is suspiciously similar to the Tube Screamer…) - the Timmy EQ is a cut only EQ, so it's only 1 opamp (JRC4558) in the pedal. The bass cut is before the drive section and the treble cut is after it. [/quote] Interesting. Never really looked at the Timmy... Must investigate!

My current project is tuned Drop-A just because the guitar player has got himself a new 7 string, much to my annoyance, so that's useful info Doomed. A Big Twin 2 (rather than a Four10 or a second Two10) may be the best purchase if it ever gets off the ground. Has anyone tried it next to an Ampeg fridge? Be interested to see how it faired there!

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1463670967' post='3053271'] Here's a picture of mine at practice last weekend, it's not very big , volume in spades not as crushingly low end as the Dubster but the speakers will no doubt loosen up a bit after a few hours. [/quote] Exactly the setup I would go with right there... How's the Terror/Four10 combination?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463658367' post='3053132'] Just finished putting together a modified Tube Screamer with a 2 band EQ instead of the tone control. It does magical things to the DHA tube overdrive unit. Very happy with it. [/quote] BB Preamp-a-like?

I work in electronics and I never knew such a thing existed, which means there aren't many made, which means ANY you find will be expensive (economies of scale and all that jazz). €13 sounds reasonable for such a niche component. Count Bassy makes a good point. Are you looking for a stutter effect or an on-off switch? Pots with a DPDT switch integrated are pretty cheap in comparison...

[quote name='CamdenRob' timestamp='1463486662' post='3051701'] OK so I can add the puma 900 to the list of amps that will fit on top on my pair when they arrive if I can't bring myself to live with the Glockenklang overhang... [/quote] Turning the cabs on their side not an option?

Little did I know that I'd wake up this morning and order all the bits to build 2 (count 'em - 2..) Meatball Clones... I'm more than a little concerned that it was a vero Meatball clone that killed all my pedal building enthusiasm a few years ago. But no half measures this time - pre-etched enclosures from Audio Disruption Devices in the USA (which started all this madness!) and Rissole v1.4 PCBs ordered from OSH Park. Can't wait!

Have to say I don't think the mint is bad at all... But parchment I'd like to see. I think white pickguards are a bit stark looking myself.

This is a timely thread. I developed tinnitus around September last year - I may have had a milder form earlier than that as I would occasionally hear the dreaded shriek I have now but it never lasted long. Since my nasty bout of sinusitis and rhinitis in September it's been constant. I was at a 3 month checkup yesterday and I'm glad to say the sinuses are much better, but the tinnitus may be here to stay. I was concerned about how bad my hearing had become so the consultant had it tested yesterday. Sure enough there's a MAJOR drop off just above 2khz with the right ear a little worse than the left at higher frequencies, but the tinnitus is loud and clear in both ears at a significantly higher frequency than 2khz. Having said all that I've found the tinnitus easier to manage than I first expected. For a few weeks it literally was driving me round the bend. Irritable would hardly describe it. My wife asked me quite seriously if I'd thought about doing something stupid... But I've found that background noise helps me ignore it - it's always there, but it can be ignored like you ignore any other constant noise. The wife's snoring is therefore proving very useful at night, ahem...

That's a magnificent beast...
