Becos would be worth looking at for a pedal, but you might be better off with a 19" rack unit like a DBX166 if you don't like the faff of pedals. Dunno how rack-mountable an Aguilar TH350 is though.

Russ Ballard impression!

@Richthe artwork looks excellent. I have a Fuzzdog EchoBlue Delay which arrived a couple of days ago. I was casting round the garage for a rattlecan of blue paint, but might give this idea a go instead.

Vintage V300 acoustic Seagull Grand Sunburst GT parlour acoustic Epiphone Masterbilt Zenith archtop Fylde Orsino, 1975-ish Anderwood Type 1 Weissenborn lap steel Vintage bitza Strat oh, and a Fylde electric . How did that happen? For someone who doesn't play guitar, I have a hell of a lot of guitars!

I do. I'll PM you.

2 for me, and we only play stuff that was recorded by the Pogues.

Here's a picture of the one from my SB465.

Definitely this.

I love the sound that Richard Bona gets on the Reverence album, and I think it's a great fit with the styles of music. Here's a couple of examples. Where he drops down to the pedal note in Suninga at 0.42 it still sends shivers down my spine. TIme to break the headphones out.

I love these instruments, the sound they make is incredible. Would love to hear you playing them once the lockdown is lifted.

dave.c had a pair of the original SP212s and they sounded really good.

Stingray pickup - at the correct spot, passive... definitely Stingray

People have had great results with the John East pre-amps. He's showing out of stock at the moment but might be worth a call, he's a nice chap very friendly and helpful. -
Au contraire, I've just had a quick count up and have at least 31 instruments in the house, not including the guitars owned by my son, amplification, pedals, etc and another build on the way. But I am coming round to the idea that it's usually better to understand the problem and fix it, than to throw money at it and hope it'll go away.

The FDeck is a wonderful piece of kit no doubt, but if AndyBass is already using a K&K pre-amp he doesn't need to go and spend any more money on another pre-amp. All K&K preamps have an input impedance of 1MOhm.

You could make a box for it to stand in, that way you could vary the dimensions so that it was a good fit for your bass. I think Bassace had a thread some time ago about how to do this.

You'd be better off with the distance from the 12th fret to the coil centres. -

More 'lawsuit' twaddle. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-collectors-vintage-1975-EB-3-Electric-Bass-Guitar/324125443973?hash=item4b7761c785:g:27YAAOSwdppeiHnx Unfortunately not rare enough. -
Setting up a collection , rather than sending it to someone else, drastically reduces the number of couriers you can use. Could try Eurosender with basschat discount - search parcel discount and you'll find the thread explaining it.

Mike Walsh's handiwork on my CIJ Precision:
-
And Musicman, virtually everything they make is 17.5mm and the OLP clones were 16.5mm . Pretty sure my G&L Tribute was 16.5mm too.
-
Yamaha BBNE2 is 18mm at the bridge. 19mm: Bass Collection SGC Nanyo Yamaha TRB 5P MK1 MTD basses - I had a Kingston but they're all the same spacing. 35" scale length though.

Mmm. As other have said, depends on your bass. I'd start with it flat, small boost at 400Hz, slightly smaller boost at 800Hz and tweak the compressor to see if it does anything useful.

If you have some switch cleaner, spray it onto a plug and put that in and out of the socket a few times, has been known to work occasionally!

I'd say 'I Saw Her Standing There' is currently very uncool, especially when murdered by a bunch of 50-something dad-rockers. But the bass line credentials are impeccable.

Usually the latter.
