thats def an idea i hadnt thought of tbh! and the social media i guess is actually growing a little over the last 5 or so months.

And here I guess is the main part, we post and engage on fb/insta when we are writing or doing anything cool or worthy of posting, we are playing decent home town shows, looking to play more next year but we have kids and I’m a single dad with two kids so can’t go touring etc we use YouTube to promote our videos and have dipped a toe In to TikTok (we don’t wanna do any silly viral memes tho) we’ve done fb boosts and Instagram stuff never really gets any real input for the money we put in, we get frustrated as sometimes it seems it’s more who you know that pushes you out rather than what you realise

who uses what platforms? Anyone had any success, im hitting a wall of both fustration and now turning into anger, nothing you do as a smaller band with out paying goes anywhere, sites like spotify ignore, Apple really dont offer any metric so we have gone for a more random approch of starting to use Soundcloud now aswell. we listen to all the podcasts which are meant to help and im sure they are all a simple push to get you to spend money pushing on ads in spotify etc, ive talked to local bands around us and they simly say they started by just streaming there stuff themselves to start the alg, honestly that just doesnt seem right to me.

last practice of the year last night

So quickly changed things a bit now have two switches for the individual pickups to go between series and parallel humbuckers, the pickups are both wired from the switches into the single volume pot so I’m gonna go with the are in parallel………. it sounds killer also I lowered the will power into the body more. I swear the pickguard doesn’t look this bad in person but I don’t really care

100% a reverse engineered ditto

a looper doesnt know whats going into it, im guessing thats what you mean by is is good for bass. the ditto is great however there are much cheaper versions i have a landlord fx looper which is £49 which is a noticable chunk of saving over the ditto or boss.

im def grabbing one of these! sounds killer

its basically two humbucker wired in the same way as a jazz bass looking for options for recording, i have both pickups on full all the time atm and like that sound so i dont need dual volume pots for blending, bypassing the tone is for fun. also atm its all done with electrical wago connectors so also not ideal! Andy

so I’m thinking of going with this just combined two circuits? Parallel series neck and bridge no split coils, and a tone bypass? im gonna put in a 0.03uf cap aswell any advice is welcome tho

Love the sy200 set up I’ve got going atm going straight to foh, do also have a fuzzrocious BDPG after it adding a bit more grit but adds another level to the sound big fuzz sounds sound even bigger when there’s a synth under them aswell!!

🙄 tone control in the circuit boys my tone comes from many fuzz pedals

It’s a really rough wiring job at the min basically in the jazz setup, I think these be best in parallel I’ll probs leave it both in parallel but want options for recording tbh

Tbh I always have gone at max so guess I could just put a cap in the circuit somewhere rather than a pot

Where would tone come into that ?

ground and pound from lusithand is back aswell as the idiotbox blackout fuzz gnp into the blackout sounds so good!! Basically rat into dual big Muff you can’t go wrong can you!

Ok yeh I hadn’t thought about that tbh however I’m guessing actually combo would be both pickups series both pickups parallel neck split and bridge series Neck and bridge split series

indeed it’s a aluminium neck from baguley

Ive got a very heavy modded jazz bass! Its lovely but the pickup wiring was only ever temp but im not sure how to go about the wiring i want? the pickups are an avedissian t bird in the bridge and dimarzio will power in the neck, however these can both be split which i want to put on switches however wiring wise id love to put in a series parallel switch aswell. Any wiring gurus out there able to help?

I had a friend who has the hx effects it’s really not that hard to program, also 100% worth learning to use the menus in the unit just incase you need to live

minor tweaks spite box back and my modded muff on the board

Don’t tempt me ive a phase 90 staring at me!!!

Yeh def will be going back in to sort that later on

tone bypass is very easy to do, just have to be a little brave. pre tone mod, don’t hate on the wiring it works lol
