  1. With a bigger hole, obvs 😜 I would use a small forstner bit or wood drill with a point rather than a normal twist drill. A twist drill is likely to wander into the hole you already have. Choose a bit just slightly larger to cover the radius between your new centre and the edge of the existing hole and a standard dowel dimension if you can.

    From memory, yes. I have tried very hard to get to difference between off and one effect levels. I would imagine that it's not perfect, but by ear it's OK.

    We did. Normal instrument lead from the board output into the desk.

    The channel has a fader, but presumably if the channel input gain/level/whatever knob is turned all the way down the should also be no signal? The only way to shut me up was to stop playing or mute the channel, either with the mute button or the fader. I turned the b3n down, I'm not sure where the level control on the dynamics is, it's set to be noise gate and compressor as per the instructions in the manual.
  5. Welcome to the mad world of taking bits of basses apart to make new basses
  6. Could the blue bar clamp be for straightening fret wire once off the coil?
  7. Then I could 3D print it. Genius. Twerp
  8. Intelligent people, I need assistance (help as well possibly). The neck pocket on my body is about 5mm too small, and the pickup routs about 10m too narrow, the whole plan was to widen the body to fit the neck heel with a skunk stripe, but how do I make one that widens to body by 10mm up to the neck and then just by 5mm? I could extend the pickup cavities after the stripe goes in, but they're nice and neat now. They won't be if I make them bigger.
  9. Could you rescue it with a bridge and tailpiece like a Warwick and either fill the string through holes or leave them as a feature? Pop some LEDs in them 😉
  10. How do they work? The knurled thing is for tuning or the blob on top?

    I have a rig, it's my normal method of being LOUD 😉 My board output goes into the instrument in on my amp. I've never played with the FX loop on it, all my stuff is floor boxes so aren't they the wrong level to go into the FX input? How does the loop work anyway, do I put the the send in one end of the board and the return to the other or will that result in letting the magic smoke out somewhere?

    It's a Behringer Eurodesk MX2442a if that's any help at all.

    Oh yes, when you turned the knob it definitely got louder, very quickly. I'll see if I can find the model before next Thursday.

    All my effects have an amount of dirt in them as we're a three piece and I wanted a bit of a fatter sound. I've tried very hard to get the volume equal across the effects though so there's no huge spike, they just sound different. What's unity gain?

    It's an older Behringer, which one I can't say until next week when I'm back in the room. The trim pot is the knob under the XLR/ jack? That was the one where even if it was right down you could still hear the signal. We tried a different channel in case it was faulty, but didn't swap the lead out. I can (mostly) play the right notes in the right order at the right time, and understand my own rig. The mixing is a bit black magic to me.

    Silly thing to say on BC! You're right of course.

    DI box

    My signal chain is tuner - zoom b3n - nova dynamics. It went in via normal instrument lead to one of the xlr/6.5 channels, a normal one, not the doubled up ones. AFAIK there is no button on the input section.

    A bit of a punt whether this is the correct forum section. We played about with going direct to the mixer last night, and my signal is far too high, you can only mute me with the mute button on the channel, the guitar can be turned down with the knobs on the channel. Would a DI box be any help in taming that signal, and if so, which one? I'm not spending an awful lot on it, definitely less than 100€.

    BaDaBoom 2021

    Clearly of limited interest or accessibility, I can't imagine any of you will be in the middle of Schleswig-Holstein at the beginning of September. We're playing the BaDaBoom Festival on 04.09 from 1300 to 1400 on Gänsemarkt in front of the Holsten Galerie in Neumünster should anyone be around and want to heckle.
