Thanks all, will have a chat with him and see what goes

Rest of the bass…

curious about the one piece pickguard though…

what would a fair offer be on this?

Thankyou for the reply, that sort of price range is what I’ve currently found, always nice to have these things confirmed somewhat

Hi all, has been a while since I last posted on here

looking to buy a bass off of a friend and in the interests of offering a fair price I need some help

from the one picture I have so far it’s a black logo, mid 90’s jazz bass, can anyone offer any advice on what would be a fair offering?

Not bass related but hoping someone might be able to help

recently acquired an orange guitar head, reverb doesn’t work, at all

took the head apart and found the wires inside the tank (it looks) have been cut off, seems a simple job to solder them back on but can anyone tell me if it matters which way round the go?! i.e. green or black at the top or bottom or should it not matter

much?!

if anyone knows what those plastic connectors (there’s only one left) are called or where I can find some, that might be a tidier solution

many thanks in advance 

So I’ve been looking for a project, stumbled upon the idea of converting a squier bronco to a bass vi

quick bit of research and then found a bronco, not far from me, for a fair price, collecting next week so I’m starting to look around for bits…

as far as I understand it, in regards to parts all I need is…

new bridge

new nut

set of tuners

new strings

and Robert’s your fathers brother

Question 1…

what bridge would work?! Would a “standard” guitar bridge work or do I need to look for something specific, I’m thinking more along the lines of string spacing if here, I wondered if a normal hard tail strat type bridge with threaded saddles might do the trick?

Question 2…

any advice on how / where to mark for the new / extra tuner holes? Are there templates for this or is there an idiot proof method for getting it right?

any thoughts / comments / experience gladly received

@SuperSeagull That’s pretty much what I’m looking to do…

Trying to work out the best way of securing the plug to the board

After much deliberation, I’ve decided it’s time to move my copy of Tim Tindalls "What Duck Done" bass transcription book on

Fantastic book with some great lessons and better tunes from a true legend

This is the first edition so all music is in notation form, no tab, it comes with both original CDs and is in generally good condition, the covers are a little dog eared, all pages inside, plastic binding and cd’s are still in great condition

I’ve no idea what these things are worth so looking to get what I paid for it what seems a looonngg time ago

If anyone can advise if I have over-valued it / asking much too much, please do give me a nudge and I’ll adjust as necessary 

Price includes UK shipping

Happy for anyone to collect from Maldon, Essex, or mutual meeting spot 

Also happy to consider cash offers / trades / swaps 

I will get some pictures up later today and will be listing a selection of other books I have that are looking for new homes…

I meant one of these. Cut off the 13A plug and replace.

 

IMO you don't need any additional fused protection. The mains lead has it's own in the plug and any equipment you attach to the 4-way in your first post that requires a fuse will have its own.

That could be the one as what you say makes a lot of sense 

Will have to figure out a way of attaching it to the board

It might be easier and safer to replace the standard mains plug of the extension with an in-line C13 male plug, to which you can connect your equipment mains lead.

Not sure I COMPLETELY get what you mean?!

are you talking about one of these?

if you meant replacing the mains 3 pin plug with one of these

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/iec-connectors/8117213

that’s pretty much what I was after as I can’t see that this on its own has any sort of electrical overload protection

@John Cribbin didn’t think of spade connectors but that’s a great point

@BigRedX I see your point regarding the shrouds, was also thinking maybe some heat shrink over each wire / spade connector 

I THINK something like this with a 10a fuse and screw terminals would be just the ticket, just can’t find one with screw terminals

https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/iec-connectors/8117213

happy to be corrected or pointed in the direction of something like this with screw terminals or how I would safely wire this one up

Close to what I mean yes

what I’m looking to do is screw the iec socket (as pictured in my original post) to my board and connect that to an extension lead that will be secured underneath the board.
 

In theory, I’d like a pedalboard that can be powered by plugging in a regular kettle lead like this

mostly inspired by something like this (as circled)

main concerns are fusing really as the socket I’m after (as pictured in original post) doesn’t appear to have any type of electrical protection, I’m not sure if something like that can be wired onto maybe an already fused extension outlet

Hey all, apologies for the potentially stupid question…

currently building a pedalboard and would like to be able to power the whole thing from a kettle lead

so my question(s)…

can anyone advise as to how I can wire up one of these

to one of these…

what would I need and how can it be done?

many thanks in advance y’all
