hahah - ok! I don't have the freless any more but I have one of the EHBs instead (and a poplar shuker). Yes, you have a lot more marking on yours, mine is much 'quieter'. There is a bit more near the controls.

If it is louder (much louder) when either pickup is solo than when both are present, it is out of phase - there can be a slight drop in volume when they are both up, but not to the point where it is problem. That indicates that you don't have an earth on your volume, and thus probably your pickups, and that would cause lots of trouble. Ensure that there is a continuity at all times between the sleeve of the jack socket, one pin of the volume, one pin of the tone and one side of each pickup. Actually, what are the controls on this? Is it volume volume tone, or volume balance tone? If it is VVT, the pickups should be entirely shorted out when the volume is down. so check that too. I am making an assuming this is passive - tell me if this is wrong

OK, probably best to put a post in Bass guitars wanted. There aren't many of these as they weren't current for a long time, they were neck heavy (due to the lightness of the poplar) and that was a long time ago. Last one I saw in a shop was in a german one. Theres mine, the second on the left

Depending on how tinny, either one of your pickups is out of phase (either the coil is wound the wrong way, the pickup is in backwards or the lead is reversed), or its a feature of the bass. I would just swap the wires from one of the pickups round and try again

Not sure what you are asking there. I certainly have one, it is one of my favourite basses, in fact, used to be #1, but there is a bit of an argument going on with the new basses! Mine looks a bit nicer than that I would say So yes, I have one if you want info on it. If you are looking to buy one you probably need to put a post in the wanted sales group

You are joking, I have spent much more time in the last few years fixing the lights on the drums than any battery work

The led will probably take orders of magnitude more power than the preamp.

Agreed. I can play some things wrong really fast!

The only times where I have had a flatter battery on a gig, the battery went flat over a number of days, not less than a minute. That is an odd thing. My first ibanez got quieter and quieter and I didn't realise what it was at the time but it was that Ihadn't changed the battery in the 4 years I had it. Must be taking a lot of power (or a defective battery) to do that. Luckily if it was going to go dead in a short time I only need to get to the end of the song and then I have enough time to change the battery while the guitarist is tuning!

I have spare 9v and a box of AA & AAA. And a screwdriver for those basses. Never lost a bass mid gig, but I had a problem wtih a badly wired bass (my wrongo) that didn't actually have an off, so you had to take the battery out, until I fixed it, and the one time I gigged it I had forgotten to do that.

Or https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/113707992641 to its friends!

Ow, seriously not cheap. That is way out of my price range for a power supply when all I really need is a couple of plugs, but thanks for the offer!

Not something I would want to listen to but very tallented and also I think a fantastic practice in translating what you hear into what you play.

Oh I supposed I could use one of those power bank things to power the USB, except then I have to remember to charge it before using it and risk it running out of power (as they also charge from 5v). I did notice the joyo power supply also had a usb out and was battery as well (not enough to power a helix obv), but I didn't really want to go changing power supply when everything was actually working fine

I have two needs on my pedalboard at the moment. I want to power a USB device (which is a 12 step to midi adaptor but matters not) from my pedalboard psu, which obviously has a load of 9v out (and 12 and 18). I have been searching and it seems that the world wants me to convert this the other way. If I want to power something from USB there is no shortage of that. I could throw an LM7805 in a box, but that is a lot more trouble than I want. Also, I have my pedalboard and I have a helix HX. I can't reliably pwer the helix from the PSU, but it powers from its own rubbish adapter. Anyone know where I can get a US power socket in line so that I could just wire it underneath my pedalboard so I can use one socket to power everything?

Hmm.. not sure they are entirely sure how this sale business works. They had a VR-09, and I really like those so I keep an eye on them, but it was a B-Stock one with slight scratches above the screen, and it was £615. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/b-stock-roland-v-combo-vr-09-b-live-performance-keyboard I though they must have gone up as they used to be less than that. So I did a search on the net and found out.. https://www.pmtonline.co.uk/roland-vr-09-b-v-combo-live-performance-synthesizer Yep, the price of the VR-09 brand new at PMT was £529! So yay, you can buy a new one for 529 or for only £85 more you can get a used one with scratches.

Will give it a try. But now I just remembered I built a lowpass filter and forgot to put it on there! Oh well, it is only small, it can fit somewhere!

Actually I wish I had made a note about that. We do "in the end" linkin park, and I picked a really good setting last time I played it, but that was in March and I didn't make a note. I always just winged it before because it was never on my board. Also I am playing piano with the other hand, and singing

Good point, will charge the camera battery!

Yep, on a truck with a PA provided and all. Looking forward to that!

Have a gig next week, so thought i would finally get round to doing my (not at all pretentious, but just the right size) pedal board. By dropping the voicelive in favour of the critical mass it means I have enough room for my synth pedal, yay!

A Mike Oldfield Pedal?

Why has something got to be new and un-influenced by previous things to not be overrated? why does anyone that gets successful or good have to be torn down rather than just accepted. I mean, I don't really like a lot of these people but I can't do what they do, which is born out by the fact I am not where they are. Obviously if I was there would be people saying the same about me though. What a stupid thread! and yes, I see the irony of replying!

No, these are completely new systems for transfering stuff from europe.

Oh they look good
