  1. Leathergraft Liverpool. https://leathergraft.co.uk/shop
  2. The CQ does not include an internal matrix but feeding the base into two inputs would work well. Slightly off-topic, but the chorus works like a dream for a bass.
  3. There are many ways of looking at PAT. Before there were really defined standards, Panasonic would revoke the guarantee on any item that had a PAT test label. If we go back many years, especially the early days of valve amps, there were some lethal products around and the dangers were very real, but the various standards passed in the intervening years mean that equipment itself is very safe. The venues are another matter, as @Phil Starrhas mentioned. A socket tester is your friend https://www.screwfix.com/p/kewtech-kewcheck-103-13a-socket-tester-230v-ac/45558. The other point is that your lips are ultra snsitive and a very small elctrostatic charge could be just as likely from a microphone. Perhaps a foam shield? https://www.andertons.co.uk/shure-a58ws-blk-foam-windscreen-for-sm58-beta58a-sm48-and-565sd-mics/ will both protect you from shocks and also protect your mic from saliva.
  4. Choose a reputable retailer with easy returns, then you can try and return if not satisfied.
  5. Pilot holes with any woodscrews.
  6. Hayseed Dixie Tribute?
  7. The Mipro ones have a short delay of approx 1mS from memory, whereas the Lekatos are 5mS. Not an issue in most situations, but the Mipros really are pro bits of kit.
  8. This is a clone of the original MM 2 band pre-amp.
  9. Sadly I have not had time to check the finish/damage at the rear, but the large specs of dust can be wiped away.
  10. Wow, they said nothing heavier than a bag or sugar, 2.2lbs. I am sure the packaging must make it over 2.6lbs. Which one do you have?
  11. I am about to have an abdominal operation and must not lift heavy weights for 6 weeks after. Could I gig with a UBass and how much do they weigh?
  12. A J is just nut P enough for me. I have mostly P/Js and without fail the J pup at the. Bridge is so low it is unusable.
  13. Don’t mention Kelvin then.
  14. I left School in June 1968, aged 17. In September I joined EMI on an engineering apprenticeship and an immediately went into the training school, one year of off the job training. June 1968, aged 17. In September I joined EMI on an engineering apprenticeship and a immediately went into the training school, one year of off the job training. From the moment I entered the training school, I never used imperial measurements. The engineering industry in the UK had already adopted the SI, more commonly known as metric system. I did not find it difficult and even at 73 can still easily do mental calculations to convert from the imperial system that I learned at school to the SI system that I used every day at work. Changing to the SI system and decimal currency was easy we all know how to count in tens, and I do wonder about the sense in teaching children in the third decade of the 21st-century there 12 times table. My good friend @Passinwindassured me some years ago that where he lived in northern Oregon there was no problem sourcing metric screw sizes.
  15. I love the Nexus and am surprised they are not shown more love.
  16. The received wisdom seems to be that guitars & basses use linear pots, despite the fact that our hearing is logarithmically responsive to sound. The reason is that the pots are not used as potential dividers. However, I put in some DiMarzio pickups into my bass a few years ago and saw that the DiMarzio wiring diagrams used logarithmic pots. After a long conversation over a few weeks with DiMarzio Tech Support, I wired it as instructed and found that volume and tone worked well with adjustment at all around the rotation of the pots. I have since used that same circuits on about 8 basses with the same results.
  17. I don't know if you have fixed this but to me that looks like two issues, firstly the pic with the red arrows seems to indicate broken tracks alongside the DC connector's solder pads. The remedy for this is to solder a piece of wire between the two closest pads. Secondly, the patch to the left indicates a liquid ingress. If you would like me to have a look, PM me .
  18. Yes you need another one. Seriously though, I have too many projects on the go, so that is why I am selling.
  19. I have to say that my Monza is not lacking in any way. It is a very early one and still rocks my socks.
  20. I believe that the early ones had a smaller port and crossed over at about 2KHz. @stevieis using a different compression driver now that allows the crossover frequency to be lower. Mine is an early one.
  21. £179 new from Andertons. You may need to drop the price a tad.
  22. That looks like it uses the amp section from the original Rootmaster series. That was a class A/B amp, although the 500 and 800 versions were class D.
  23. I will check the back tomorrow to see if it is really damaged but I do not remember it like that.
  24. I have now added the extra pics so will bump.
  25. i think you bought it from me, and I have since had many basses that were not as good. I fitted the Gotoh battery box as I was fed up keep unscrewing it to change the battery. You can still see it in my avatar. Good luck with the sale.
