Oh having talked to a lot of van drivers the job is horrible and I have admiration for the fact that they do it. I have nothing against couriers. I do have something against courier companies though! On the plus side, my £28.50 UPS delivery insured for £900 got to where it was going a day early and the customer is happy. So yay for parts of UPS (except in this case the courier)!

Have you tried sending it a Midi CC of 128? Maybe that would work.

That is terrible!

Mine works fine. But obviously hasn't been getting much use this year. It powered everything except my helix.

I wouldn't have half the problems I have now if I didn't think of the food already too much!

I don't belong here, said old tessa out loud. Easy, love, there's the safe way home.

It starts like that, it gets much easier after a while

No, a truss rod is not a consumable thing that is supposed to die. But I do know what it is like dealing with him. Don't stand for anything less than a replacement.

Oh I can become free - you don't get rid of me that easily.

All understandable. Harder for me on that date but probably easier for others. I was wondering about it being tight. Although everyone knows that all bass players are over 65

It is a shame. Hopefully if the world gets back to normal there will be less courier take up, and maybe the prices might go down again. At the moment for most things it isn't worth the effort. Not so bad if you are prepared to take the chance, but I wasn't on this. Maybe on a £100 bass it is ok as they cover to that, or hermes do to £300 (although you would need it with them), although not beyond a metre.

In the end I got a good price with UPS through their own site, it was much more expensive through interparcel when I added the insurance. The reason it was a deal breaker was because the advert was back from before brexit when it would cost £30 to ship, so that was what was in the advert and already paid for. Now most places cost double that (which seems a little odd as this is the same uk-uk requirement as before) and I had already gone down as much as I wanted to go. That used to be through eurosender who used DPD. DPD through any other means was £50. In future adverts I will just have to increase the shipping, which means less likely to sell.

Can't help feeling your volume is not going to be working well if you followed that circuit to the letter.

I think that would be self selecting wouldn't it. I mean, if you are one of the people who doesn't like Scott, you are not going to pay for membership are you?

Sorry, speaking as someone with the attention of a small goldfish, 12 weeks has always been an age! Its sort of similar to mine, with the grain, headstock, P/J, except I have no pickguard and a control plate! Think i will get a east retro for mine one day

I have only included ones I can do some level of tune on, although I can play others, so Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, Flute, Clarinet, trumpet. I can make some sort of noise on a violin and cello, but not something I would want to do in front of someone else, then there is the chapman stick, but that is just like a guitar.

Which clearly they use for muting, rather than tuning!

Your options are: 1. you can have a have a two normal jacks to have rick-o-sound, but you need some way to turn power off. 2. You can use 2 of the 9 pin jacks to have rick-o-sound - one mono, one stereo socket. 3. you can use 1 of the 9 pin jacks with a small switch to switch between mono and stereo. I would say, 1 is not a great option because you will forget. 2 is a good option in that you know whether you have mono or stereo depending on what you plugged into, but obviously takes two sockets and you have to remember which is which. 3 gives you one socket, and a switch, although you will have to remember which way is stereo and which is mono, and in stereo mode if you plug a mono plug in you will be missing a pickup. Probably 3 is easier, but remembering the switch way up is a bit of a pain (I have this on my chapman stick and I can never remember which way is which). Depends on how you will wire the filter. If the volume is after the preamp (which would make sense), then yes. And if you have the switch, then it would just join the outputs together and stop it being shorted out by the socket. Yes, it is the official diagram, but just for the output socket, the pickup selector is before the volumes and tones, and that circuit is from the volume output onwards.

The EBHs have Nordy big splits (which sound pretty similar). But all my ibanezes have them apart from the prestige that has something similar.

I replied to your comment that it wouldn't work to inform you there would be no problem with it working, then I noticed your reply after I had commented and added the link to the 9way socket that you mentioned but didn't link, so I linked to it. NOt sure of the problem. I don't see anywhere else it was linked? My comment? I didn't mention shunts. Or do you mean the ric circuit? I didn't check it all, I assumed as it was the ric diagram that is how it worked, if it doesn't, I appologise for them! My whole point is it is a solved problem that isn't hard to do without some fancy circuits. Or the other, even easier way, you just put one socket and a mono/stereo switch, I think that is what I would have if I wanted dual output.

Any updates to good couriers. I want to send a bass worth up to £900 just in the UK, it used to cost £30 with eurosender, and now the cheapest I can find that actually takes a bass (in a hardcase and cardboard) and actually insures is £60. If that is is, I can't really send and I will have to cancel my ebay sale

These - https://guitarelectronics.com/9-pin-1-4-stereo-jack-for-guitar-bass-w-dpdt-switch/ that is the sort of thing you need (actually an overkill but available) Then you tie the dpdt normally open connections in parallel to the battery negative (or actually positive if you wanted to, but lets stick to convention) and bob is your older relative. no need for anything more complicated than that
