Hi , Just noticed on mine that the Aux in only comes out of the Headphone socket , not main output, Is this the same with anyone elses ? Pete

Pics added with Boss type control knobs on mine.............. LOVE THIS PEDAL NOW I CAN SEE THEM ! Pete

Hi , Yes all seems to be working , I dont know much about electronics ( a bit of soldering etc is about all ) It does sound rather good into the effects return on my Mesa 800 head . Will take along to next rehearsal and try out at volume . Pete

Chased up Laney this afternoon , regarding my Digbeth that has ben returned to them - possible Aux in problem ( UPS picked up 09:30 Monday ) Laney have not received it yet ! Being that I live in Coventry and Laney are in Birmingham , maybe it would have been quicker and safer for me to take it over there myself . Pete

Cant wait to get mine back , just got an old (1990 ) Yamaha Magicstomp to use the effects with the Digbeth . What a game tryiing to sort out the software . Fortunately , there is a Facebook Page , dedicated to the Magicstomp , with all the old software files etc With the help of the users on this site , , the Magistomp is now an Acoustic , Electric or BASS pedal . pete

Got one two weeks ago , love it . Aux in was very quiet ( play along tracks ) shot email to Laney , they said it should not be , they arranged pick up ( UPS ) to check it out . Awaiting result , what more do you want from a UK company . EXCELLENT ! Overall l recon they are onto a winner here . By the way, changed the dials for some Boss ones - can see them better now .

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
petetexas replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
Bathroom scales 7 1/2 lb , nice for an old man like me , centerline join on Mahogany body . Dont know if its a Thunderbird pickup or not ( looks about the same size ) Fingerboard was really dry when I got it , used plenty of Leamon Oil . Frets still need polishing I have set it with a highish action ( as I like ) , and I have still got to find out what difference the push / pull pot makes on the overall sound . Bedroom level is not a true test . Got to wait now till our guitarists fingertip has healed to start gigging again ( cut most of it off on a guillotine at his works ). A Gator Les Paul delux case is on order , after a lot of research on internet , which came up with this case as the best fit . Slight neck dive , but have got used to playing with my 1997 Epiphone Rivoli which has neck dive , so no problem there . Will get a few more pics up later . Pete -

Just got a Gibson Les Paul DC from Bax . At the price they were throwing them out , l could not resist (£575) Always fancied one . I see they have gone back up to £800 ish now . Some small quality issues 1) end of fingerboard not stained correctly - patchy 2) scratchplate screws going in at an angle 3)small "ding" on back of neck . Could have sent back , but at this price l was expecting some quality issues . Plays and sounds BEAUTIFUL . Pics to follow -

To get over the gap at the bottom of pickup to body , when the pickup was raised , l put some black modelling putty ( milliputy l think it was ) around the resin coils , and sanded back to make the pickup cover look deeper . Looks ok to me . Going to put the parallel , series switch in and remove the choke connections next . Pete -

Just put my 1997 Rivoli ( no scratchplate ) on the bathroom scales............9lb 13oz ! I`ve gigged it a few times , does not seem too heavy ! Gap of pickup poles to bottom of strings E and G held down at last fret .........E = 5mm.....G = 4mm Pete -

Hi Jus Lukin , I have a 1997 Rivoli that weighs a ton , made in the Peerless factory , same pickup , coils in parallel but with the choke and different capacitors . Can I ask what height the pickup is - the gap between the top of the poles to the bottom of the G and E strings when held down at the last fret . I have found a great difference in Tone and volume by having the pickup near / far away from strings . I`m working on a bass cut control pot , to try and "tame" the series boom at the moment . Pete -
At the moment I play through my Helix stomp into my Messa D800 ( set flat ) into two Markbass 2x10 cabs . I am looking at going through my Helix stomp , into a full range powered speaker (lightweight) Any suggestions ? Pete

Hi, I have put a DiMarzio Model One on my 1997 Rivoli . Coils in series , far too "boomy" , but wired in parallel , it is a bit lower output , and has more clarity . I also removed the .02 capacitor from the from the choke , and replaced it with a .100 , and replaced the tone cap ( dont know what it was ) with a .047 . Now that is some improvemet , more to my taste . I use D`Addario Nickel Wound 50 70 85 105 (EXL160S) Sounds great in a Stones Tribute Band . Pete -

Hi, Just got Rivoli back from my local luthier , neck heel crack repaired , you can see it but not feel it . Just noticed , the pickup routing on this one is the size of the pickup, so the whole pickup drops inside the routing ...... very strange , my old one had the routing done for the pickup chrome flange to sit on the surface. Anyhow, I have far more adjustment in height on this one. -

Hi barrycreed , Looks really good , did your Luthier make the string extender , or buy it somewhere ? The pickup on mine , Stock 1997 Peerless factory , is Gotoh , same as the cast bridge , and I am really supprised as to the balance across the strings on output . After reading quite a lot on internet about short scale string gauges , I ended up buying a set of D`Addario EXL160S , I find them really good . Whats the serial number of yours ? -
Bought a DP120BK for a new build project £90 + postage . Project fell through a week later , so pickup not needed . Pickup not even removed from box , all seals intact , so asked Thomann for a return number , as it was not needed . I expected to pay a return postage fee but not the only two that they offered...........DHL Drop off £18 , DHL pick up from house £22 . Basically told them to stuff it , andthat I would get more money selling the pickup on ebay ! I have had a 14 year account with Thomann , but I have now closed it . Daylight robbery ! Pete
