Your best bet is to take some pictures and post them in the EUB and Double Bass Forum. That's where people who might be able to advise you are likely to be found.

Very nice. There's a great clip of Ida Neilsen reviewing one of these on YouTube somewhere.

My L2500 Tribute had very narrow spacing, probably less than 17mm. That's why I got rid of it, I prefer wider spacing. I've not played a USA but I'm led to believe that the necks on the Tributes are much chunkier front-to-back. Most of the Ibanez range seem to be quite tight, except for the BTB series.

If you're going to put the board into the loop and plug the bass into the amp input, it might help to know whether the loop is serial or parallel. If parallel, only part of the signal will be modified by the effects (50% if there is no blend control).

Back Door!

I'd expect it to be fried in fairly short order. A cab splitter box, like this one from Palmer: https://www.palmer-germany.com/en/products/signal-splitter-switcher/5088/cab-m would be the way to go, or a DIY version.

There's no need to fix the straplock to the strap. Just put the strap end over the button on the guitar, then clip the straplock on top of it.

We use Muzodo for the brass band, which works brilliantly. The blues band uses 'Band', which sucks water melons through elephants.

Won't get fired again!

The opportunity arose a couple of weeks ago, when we played on a cramped stage where there wasn't really enough room for a double bass. I used my Epiphone Century, HPF and a bit of always-on compression into the Walkabout Scout and the Monza. EQ'd out quite a lot of the bass, boosted the lower mids a bit and it sounded rich, warm and authoratative. 2 bass players in the audiece came up and raved about the sound.

Very nice work. Saved another one. More Abigail Washburn than Bela Fleck, I think that's going to sound very authentic for old-time.

Seems slightly odd that long scale length is a custom set with a slightly heavier E. if you want standard long scale lights, the price goes up to £33 for a 2-pack.

Or go for the volume approach: buy a reel of cable, a crimp tool and some RJ45 connectors, and make yourself a new cable for each gig.

Coo, a Westminster. My dad had one of those when I was about 7. You could talk to Paul Glazebrook, he looked at my son's Burman a couple of months ago.

You're very welcome to come round and have a noodle on mine. Fender Japan rather than USA, but a bona fide Fender.

Actually he said a few things, but he didn't say "that's fine, I've already got a nice one from @Thor " otherwise I might have been tempted to keep it, especially once I plugged it into the Walkabout Scout + LFSys combination! It came from Hobgoblin in Canterbury, not Cambridge, so snatched from under the very nose of @Beedster

Like this? It works very well, although the original preamp isn't great.
