  1. Hopefully your doctor will get to the bottom of things. I suffered with something similar a few years back. Turns out the cause was simply dehydration of my body. Taking in more water and daily inputs of vitamin B6 tablets sorted it out within two weeks.
    Lots of good advice been given here, hope you find the right solution.

  2. In no particular order, I've used Barcus Berry B3150, Underwood, Rev solo, Nanoflex, Fishman BP100, KK golden trinity mic, and a kk bassmax.
    Of the afforementioned, the only one I got on with was the Barcus, a very true tone but reliability issues coupled with having to strap the units preamp to the tailpiece meant goodbye.
    I currently use a Gage realist (original version) and a Fishman full circle into a Raven labs PMB2 preamp.
    Was intending to try out the new Gage Soundclip but have heard a few rumblings about build quality issues.

  3. To me, the Soundclip is a modified version of the Barcus Berry B3150 that I was using ten years ago. Although it was one of the truest sounding pickups I'd ever used, there were certain issues with it that led to me getting shut.
    I saw the Pattituci demo on youtube and was very excited at what I heard...Based on your experience, I'll think I'll hold fire for now.....

    Out of interest, what happens to all the leftover stock? Surely there must be boxes of ready made pickups that we could still buy until he runs out, or was it a case of the pickups were made when you placed an order?

    From my experience, Andy made pickups to order as and when required.
    He did all my rewinds though, anyone have recomendations on who to use now?

    [b]EH Mini Q-Tron Pedal, used but in perfect working order.[/b]
    [b]Wild pedal with wild output, I blew a set of speakers with this before I learnt how to use it![/b]
    [b]Elements of the original Mutron, as you'd expect, coming from the same designer, way superior to the Micro Q-tron that EH later brought out. Big funk in a not so Mini box![/b]
    [b]Huge array of sounds, great for Guitar but as we know, devastating on Bass![/b]

  7. I've used British reserve, ( now Allianz and Cornhill) for years. Both my Basses and all accessories, world wide cover and covered if stolen from a vehicle for less than £100 a year. One claim made for total loss of a Bass a couple of years ago, settled in full, no arguments and no increase in premium the following year!.
    You'll need a written valuation from a luthier in order to get cover.
