[quote name='BOD2' post='335160' date='Nov 23 2008, 09:24 PM']The jumper wire would make sense, otherwise the switch isn't actually connecting anything together in one of the positions..[/quote] My thoughts exactly. Will report back tomorrow!! Thanks again... And Trev - we have all been there at one point, infuriating isn't it? ped

Wait a second! STOP PRESS! There WAS a jumper wire on the old switch! Didn't notice it at all, it is very small and tidy. I will stick that on and see if it sorts it out! Cheers ped

No jumper wire there, no - there wasn't on the one that was replaced either. There were only four wires going to the switch - I see what you mean about the switch contacting the left and right to the centre but don't know how that would work with four wires... Cheers ped

Hi folks, Just switched my active passive switch for a black one after intending to do so for many years. The passive option however isn't working (active is fine). I am pretty sure the wires are all as they were on the original switch. Here is a piccie - can anyone spot the problem? Cheers ped Bit of a mess in here I'm afraid!

Looks 'wrong' to me but it may sound good... I thought the axis body shape was a prototype only and wasn't going to be final. I will read the thread and catch up!

Yeah the H&H looks brilliant! Is it heavy?

Yeah I used to use those too, great aren't they! Only problem is I tend to remove my strap quite a lot and they became a bit of a pain in ze bottom. Cheers ped

I just got the Marvel straplocks - they are superb! Really nice and solid and the connection between the bass and the strap is really 'positive', and they allow much smoother circular motion than the schaller design, which could get a bit squeaky! Cheers ped

And replied, son!

Hi Matt, Was going to be up there for a few weeks around now, not my brother is going to Sweden for a month or so soon but hasn't got a date yet. That is playing havoc with our studio planning, but HOPEFULLY we can squeeze a week or so in before xmas to get some new stuff recorded. It would be cool to see you so I will be sure to give you a shout when I know things for definite. Cheers ped

I have a Lee Ritenour album where he is holding a Synthaxe! Also features Abe Laboriel and Carlos Vega :0)

Yo chaps, I am doing a Vbass one apparently pretty soon. Had a quick question - some Youtube videos I have seen have had a special 'High Quality' option. How does one go about enabling that, is it a simple matter of an option when uploading? Do you think it's worth it or does the original vid I posed sound OK? Cheers ped

A NEBB sounds great - too far for me to go but I hope you all have a cool TYNE! Eh? EH? No? ped

Well I just bought some anyway so will let you all know! ped

[quote name='GreeneKing' post='330842' date='Nov 17 2008, 05:37 PM']I've got a Brooklyn Gear and a Comfort Strapp and like them both. I use Boston straplocks, similar to Schallers, much cheaper and they have two slim nuts so the nuts can be locked and don't work loose like Schallers. Quality seems to be at least on a par and interchangeable too. I did have an Overwater strap but they work in a completely different way to the Comfort/Brooklyn straps with the stretchy bit is a single piece of elastic attached to an otherwise non stretchy pad. My bass neck was doing nodding donkey impressions. I do wonder if they may have been modified? Peter[/quote] A much better idea, those Boston locks. I have lost count of the times the Schallers have come loose. Just went to buy some Bostons and came across these - has anyone tried them? They look quite nice...

Still using the Brooklyn Gear neoprene strap but recently got a Comfort Strapp to compare. I am not sure I like it as much - when seated the seatbelt material irritates the underneath or my right arm which I haven't noticed on the other... Cheers ped

I think mainly because they are the ones that SELL. There are many many extravagant and innovative ideas out there, but without big markets, they will never become as visible in the market as your usual run of the mill stuff. I do however also think that the bass guitar has probably changed more than any other instrument since its inception, especially when compared to instruments like the violin and so forth... Cheers ped

Yeah I tried WD40 but had better results with window cleaner for some reason!

YEOOOOOOOOOOOO!
