It uses a nine volt stomp type battery, in a little box which, I think , also contains the preamp. I’ve never needed to use any other power supply. mine is an earlier model, doesn’t have that thing in the pix that looks like a car charger. you could call Sound Network, they’ll tell you all you need to know.

Partial to Aluminium ? Acrylic ?

Well spank me for not being as concise as your lordship would like. What is this, the Spanish Inquisition, or a place where bassists hang out and pass opinions about stuff? Last time I looked, it was the latter. -

Somebody above suggested that if it was black it would look like a boring P bass copy. I was pointing out that it is NOT black, but, to my eye, a rather ugly assemblage of components from differing sources, with different engineering and aesthetics, coupled with a large and oddly ungraceful backplate. So to me it looks plain weird and badly designed. I can see from this thread that there are those to whom this instrument is the dog’s bollocks, but not to me it ain’t. Snide remarks were made about the bitsa Jazz in my sig: it’s only a humble bitsa, and it’s a common old sunburst, but to me it looks a lot better than that thing. So there. -

That thing is ugly. Somebody whupped that with the ugly stick. It fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. -
There is an absolutely riveting and hugely informative Les Paul build thread on the Telecaster Discussion Forum. the guy is called Gil Yaron (look him up) and he goes by Preeb on that forum. He is a genius, I think, and his eye for detail is incredible. He also did a fantastic Jazz Bass build, which is equally engrossing. you should find all the details you seek there.

How sad. When I was young I heard Jigsaw Puzzle Blues and it blew my mind.

Not just metal, neithers. Larry Klein (former Mr Joni Mitchell) played Mockingbirds. With delay.

I did this with one of those cheap copies of dentistry probes/scrapers you can get from Poundland or Boots. Worked pretty good. -
Dear God, I didn’t know that. Hellish.

Back in the day, they used to be known as Dean Ford and the Gaylords. I kid you not.
