  1. I'll try.in fact I've already took a pic but because if the reflections on the s/plate,it looks even more confusing.Each wire has a reflected image.I'll try and remove the s/plate and take another.Bear with me.I'm not the best solderer in the world BTW.Bear that in mind😄
  2. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254940340729 This is the one I got Paul.
  3. Thats the same pic I posted Ki0gon and from the same website.I stripped it down and started again from scratch.Now,both pups are on until the centre detent,and then both abruptly switch off.I'm going to leave it till tomorrow until my heads cleared a bit.Thanx for your input.
  4. Here it is,copied from Ebay listing.Bourns Blend Pot Mini with Centre Detent 6mm Solid Shaft 250k Linear Taper
  5. I have wired up a jazz bass control plate with a 250K blend pot.My problem is that it only works in 1 direction.By that I mean,if I pan from bridge pup to neck pup,the signal disappears from the centre detent onwards,ie the neck pup is not sounding.If I reverse the wiring,the opposite happens.Is that the right blend pot I've got,as I've stripped and rewired the whole thing twice,but its still doing it? Any pointers guys? I'm following this diagram.
  6. If I'm totally honest,I have NO idea what that means😮
  7. Well would you credit it.I tried it with a new battery and it works.But theres something odd.Before,when you plugged into it,the display showed"0"and the far right LED was lit constantly and it stayed that way.Now,with the battery,it does the same thing for a second and then works normally.Its making me think that the P/S is suss,although it operates my other pedals just fine.
  8. I've never used it with a battery,but now that you've mentioned it,I'll give it a try,although if it doesn't work with a power supply I cant see it working with a battery,but I'll give it a go.
  9. I've had this tuner for years and its never let me down,until today.When I connect the power supply and then plug the bass lead in,the display goes to a constant '0' and only 1 led is lit,the far right one..None of the other switches do anything.Unplugging the power and then plugging it back in brings back the same situation.One thing though.I presume all Behringer pedals work off 9V,centre pin -ve?Because I've recently started using another power supply,but this one doesn't affect my other Behringer pedals.Just the tuner is affected.Any ideas guys? I guess these things dont last for ever,but I'd hate to throw it out.
  10. Other variations are,'Numpty' 'Bawheid''Hauf wit' 'Diddy' etc.Literally translates as 'Head the ball'.
  11. 'My Love' by Macca.His 'E' string is so out of tune its not real.But my 'favourite'(?) is Barbara Dicksons "January,February" chorus.I spent weeks hearing it on a little transistor radio at work,but one night,on TOTP,when I could hear the bass properly,I seriously thought the bassist was on something.Really.Have a listen.Maybe its in the name of art,and trying to sound clever,but I still cant believe someone said "You nailed that bassline mate" at the recording.😁

  13. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223724160043?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D6db8fcb5978444eab266b0d51fbf8e9a%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D It seems to be some sort of copper/brass but I've never seen anything like this on a J-bass before.Has anybody?
  14. I didn't even think she was that good in her own spot.But any Paddy,like meself,knows that the only man worthy of singing that song,was the late Luke Kelly of the Dubliiners
  15. Just listened to Ed Sheeran murder a beautiful song 'On Raglan Road' along with some daft bint who couldnt make up her mind whether to sing high or low (or in tune),on Hollands show.Give me strength!
  16. I agree,but it must be hellishly hard to get right onstage.
  17. Paul McCartney - 'Let me Roll it'. Couple of bloopers. At roughly 3.24 Macca completely misses a note and at 4.22,the 'double push' is a blatant mis-edit,according to Geoff Emerick.But Macca kept it in his live shows anyway.
  18. Thank you,thank you.You've solved a conundrum LukeFRC.You must admit though,the headstock is very 'Peavey-ish?'Thanx for the input,chaps.
  19. This is a query from a N.Ireland F/B group who are trying to identify this bass.I dont know if you can see the headstock but its deffo Peavey shaped but the logo looks odd.Anybody any thoughts?Thanx.
  20. 'If looks could kill I'd need a licence for my face'. Del Amitri - When I want You.Suits me to a tee.
  21. This.And only this.My dream bass.Slab Precision.
  22. I'm quite er rotund,but I usually wear black trousers and my favourite Basschat shirt,in black,of course.
  23. My first bass was a Rosetti Lucky 7 with one pickup u/s.I plugged it into a little Gibson open backed combo of about 15 watts.My 2nd bass was a slightly updated Rosetti Lucky 7.I also remember plugging ALL our amps into 1 mains socket by means of removing the plugs off 2 of them and stuffing the bare wires into a socket and then plugging in the 3rd amp to the same socket,usually a little 5 amp one.Hey it worked! Young and foolish or what?
  24. Very interesting thread.My problems stem from being too close to a PA speaker when a very drunk and overenthusiastic blues harp player blew too much and my hearing suffered.I now have a weird sound in my right ear but more importantly my general hearing has gone downhill of late.I notice that a lot of you seem to suffer from poor lower frequency response.I'm the opposite.Its as if someone has turned the 'treble' off.So while my hearing is not too bad,but not great,volume-wise,my treble response is dire.I often find that while watching TV,if I 'cup' my ears with my hands,it improves things. I'm 65,and after playing in various bands since age 15 without ear protection,ever,(I was one of the 'earplugs are for wusses' brigade) it's only to be expected.If only I'd taken more care.
