TC Electronic Polytune Mini. Last time I used this, the footswitch gave way and disappeared into the casing. Have tried to repair this, but cannot make it switch on/off. As far as I’m aware, the tuner circuit is all fine. Sure someone can repair it, but this will not work out of the box! £20 delivered. -
Line 6 M5 multi-effects unit. Great pedal when it’s working! This one has a short somewhere on the casing. Works perfectly when the case is removed... I don’t use it enough to be bothered to fix it, but should be a simple fix if you know what you’re doing. Come with original power supply. Please be aware if buying - it won’t work directly out of the box! £30 delivered. -
Fender Jazz Bass pickups out of a ‘99 American Jazz Bass. Well used, but working and sounding great. Only replaced in favour of hum-cancellers. Measurements are approx (+/- some fractions of a mm): 94 x 18mm Bridge 92 x 18mm Middle/neck £60 delivered. -
American series bass bridge, circa 1999. Well used but in good condition. Comes with original screws. Three-point screw connection. THIS IS THROUGH-BODY STRINGING ONLY! you cannot string through the rear of the bridge itself. £20 delivered. -
A brand new John East UK J-Tone preamp. Fresh out the box. I’ve wired this up and tested it, and all works perfectly, but have decided to stick with the passive circuit, so this is effectively new. Comes with original packaging, instructions and replacement tone caps. £120 delivered. -
I’m not holding my breath... That said, I am around and would check it out if they told me how to...
-
Well, it’s two days to go to the “virtual” show taking place on Music Radar (apparently). No info on what or or how it’s happening...
-
Bought my first loom from John this week. Arrived today and was installed in a matter of minutes. Nice clear instructions (matched up to the specific pickups I’ve got installed) and tool provided to pull it all together. Seems to work a treat!
-
I think the 5 is just the next number in the sequence (apart from “unlucky” no.4). The maths is just a coincidence...
-
Should be end of the month. Andertons said around the 28th I think.
-
Could be. Well, pedals are out at the end of the month. I’ve an ‘82 OC-2 ready and waiting for a side-by-side comparison. Winner stays on the board...
-
Boss are out in force on social media tonight pushing the point the the vintage mode “is” the OC-2 tone... Guess we’ll wait and see...
-
Preordered this lunchtime! If this can pull of the OC-2 tone with better tracking then happy days. I’m expecting better from this than the OC-3’s emulation, but still concerned that it’s digital rather than all analogue. I’d still snatch up an OC-2w in a heartbeat...
-
I'm intrigued by the OC-5, but there's a whole lot of features I don't really want/need. A more faithful reproduction of the OC-2 would have been nice (may go for the MXR VBO)...
-
Ok, Cool. Sounds good to me. http://www.east-uk.com/pdf/jtone01.pdf The east diagram has a Ground connection and a Cold/Ground connection.

Yeah, that’s the diagram that came with the pickups. Fine for a usual wiring setup, but doesn’t quite match the East wiring diagram for the J-Tone...
-
Decided to give the J-Tone a go (too many bells and whistles on the J-Retro for me...). Just a question about wiring - I’m pairing up with some Aguilar 4J-HC pickups which have 3 wires each - white, grey and black, and yellow, grey and black. Am I right in assuming white/yellow is the hot signal, grey the cold and black needs to go to ground?
-
Have been pondering one of these for my old Jazz. Been delayed as they’re not in stock anywhere. In the meantime, was looking at the J-Retro too... Strikes me that the J-Retro preamp is far more flexible, but the passive mode is pretty much just a backup, whereas the J-Tone is very usable in both modes. I would like the extra options, but don’t really want to compromise my ability to play in passive... Has anyone used both circuits to compare?
-
PM’d (in a moment!) -
Been looking forward to seeing what this was going to be. Looks good, but got to say, I’d prefer the previous larger housing (big feet and clumsy switching)... Guess I’ll have to keep an eye on the second-hand market...

Looks like Dave Swift may be a holder of insider information...
-
Nice.

There are rehearsal rooms in Horley? Damn, things have changed since I lived there. We had to make do with a barn...
