Got a couple of Roqsolid amp covers (nowt fancy, just basic unpadded dust-covers), quality and fit are top-notch.

[quote name='dave_bass5' timestamp='1499955429' post='3334805'] interesting as ive just experienced this for the first time with ym new B3n and a 1 Spot PSU. All i was doing was powering this and my Line 6 reviver, hardly taxing the PSU, but yes, i had a high pitched noise that would only go when i used the B3n PSU as well. Im glad i found this thread (and your post). Guess ill need to look for a cheap replacement for the 1 Spot now. [/quote] Hmm, I recently picked up a Boss NS-2 Noise Supressor on here with a view to killing the single-coil hum from my two main basses (yeah, I know, First World Problems... ). Anyway, while this worked perfectly running off a 9v battery, when I ran it off a variety of cheapo wall-warts, the hum was replaced with a high-pitched whine (no other pedals daisy-chained, BTW). I subsequently acquired a 1 Spot off here (cheers walbassist!), and am now happily running the NS-2 with a Boss TU-2 and Behringer BDI21 daisy-chained in (blissful?) silence. FWIW, I also run a couple of Trace Elliot pedals (SMX Dual Comp and SM7EQ), but as these require an 18v supply (with a 2.5mm connector) I'm using separate wall-warts for each of them. I've been looking at the Fame / Vitoos DC8 type of thing as these have the requisite number of outputs at different voltages required, but then again the current setup seems to work OK so I'll probably stick to what I've got for now.

My mid-90s, MIJ '51 Precision Reissue. Nowt fancy, just feels right, plays beautifully, looks cool, sounds great.

Many congratulations both, and very best wishes for the future!

Another day (well, OK, week), another deal with Gareth, this time for a 1Spot PSU and daisy chains. A lovely straightforward transaction, great comms and very quick dispatch and delivery. Pleasure doing business once again, can't recommend highly enough.

[quote name='EssentialTension' timestamp='1498078678' post='3322442'] Last Sunday, old strings off, cleaned, oiled fingerboard, restrung, tuned = about 30 minutes but I wasn't rushing and I swear it was in tune. [/quote] Next time I see Ruthie I'll tell her to stop slacking then!!!

Don't forget to throw in the old classic "How long does it take to tune a banjo? Nobody knows...... " at some point. (I should probably point out that my step-daughter plays banjo in her alt-folk band and this is part of her regular stage-banter. Even her banjo-playing father has been known to smile wryly on occasion... ).

[quote name='Grassie' timestamp='1497469597' post='3318520'] I've been looking for a wiring harness for a PJ build I'm in the middle of, but can't find any specifically for a PJ configuration. Can I use a wiring harness for a jazz bass? 😊 [/quote] I'm sure KiOgon ([url="http://basschat.co.uk/user/7835-kiogon/"]http://basschat.co.u...er/7835-kiogon/[/url]) would be able to advise / sort you out with summat suitable.

Mate of mine was lucky enough to catch DD playing with Blue Coupe (Albert & Joe Bouchard, DD + others) at a book signing in the US last year. He got some great pics with the Man Himself, and also appears in the video of "Eighteen" someone shot at the event (black t-shirt / brown strides, front row, standing up at 4:07). Definitely one of those "wish I'd been there too" moments... [media]http://youtu.be/lML9-UtLaG4[/media] [media]http://youtu.be/rJhMfDtdFtg[/media]

Just bought a couple of Lozz's stock of OBBM patch leads. Super-straightforward deal, and quick delivery. Deal with confidence!

I've got one of the older CD-based BT2s, and use it all the time for learning / playing along with songs we're doing, with headphones so as not to disturb Her Indoors. We also used it at rehearsal last week, patched through the mixer into the PA, so we could decide which of the originals the band did before I joined we fancied having a go at. Have to confess I've never used any of the other functions on it, and in retrospect wish I'd gone for the more expensive digital / mp3 version so I didn't have to keep burning a new CD every time we added a new song!

I've met a few BCers in various places (mainly their homes, but also Sainsbury's car park and more recently Brownhills Motorhomes car park) to do deals, and also went to see karlfer's old band play a few times. All positive experiences, even the *interesting* pubs with equally *interesting* clientele Karl always seemed to find to play in.

Just bought three patch leads off Jon. Lovely straightforward transaction, rapid delivery, and cables in excellent condition. Deal with confidence!

It took Chris a whole 15 minutes to respond to my "Item Wanted" ad for a Trace Elliot SM7EQ pedal posted at 10:03pm on Wednesday! After a brief exchange of PMs and emails a deal was struck, and the pedal arrived on Saturday. Couldn't ask for better comms and service, another superb ambassador for the BC community. Deal with confidence!

Bit of an odd one this (admin please delete if not allowed)... Some of you will probably remember Will Carruthers from his time with Spacemen3, Spiritualized, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Dead Skeletons and others, and latterly as an artist and author (Playing The Bass With Three Left Hands). Long story short, Will is running a fundraising campaign in an attempt to pay for a course of drugs which will hopefully cure his Hepatitis C. Leaving aside the whys and wherefores and moral judgements, the campaign can be found here in case anyone is interested...

Just bought a Heistercamp messenger bag off Gareth. Lovely, straightforward transaction, great comms, and very quick / well-packaged delivery. Another superb ambassador for the BC community, deal with confidence!

Just bought another speaker cable from Dave (on this occasion via the "bassic-bits" eBay store). Usual quality product and excellent delivery service, always the first port of call when new cableage is required.

Greetings from a fellow Lincs dweller!

Not me / no affiliation etc. Interesting auction item courtesy of the British Heart Foundation, opening price £49.99, collection in person though according to the listing they may be able to arrange delivery (item is at BHF Shop in Halifax).. If only I had enough space to store it...
