If "playing support to..." counts now then I was in a band that supported Dodgy (if you remember 🤣) in Cardiff. I recall annoyance that they would allow our stand in drummer to use the main body of their kit. He had brought his snare and cymbals thus necessitating me (not the drummer but the only car owner/driver) to retrieve his kit from the rehearsal studio or wherever - it was a long time ago 🙂. Then we couldn't see the audience for dry ice but someone kept shouting iirc "F"*k off" throughout. I think it turned out to be the singer from the guitarist's other band 🙄 And we didn't get paid .....😡

Was that on a "daisy chain" or some multi cable/ breakout box arrangement ?
-
Yes. I looked at those type of boards. But given the need to put them in some enclosure etc I opted to go with cable only solution for space and convenience. I have a few bits that take centre positive power anyway do good to have the option.

I'm planning to have a go using USB PD Powerbanks with cables to request 9V / 15V. Voltage outputs seem fine. Not yet tried on pedals simply because I need to build polarity adaptors to go from the standard Centre Positive output to Centre Negative for pedals.

Rechargeable PP3 option needn't be overly expensive. Compared to the cost of replacing non-rechargeables a few times it makes sense imo https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08L6BP93F/ref=pe_4093621_934531491_em_1p_1_lm?asc_source=01HEJFKGGCEKTBGE4PSDCMVYDE&tag=snxgb58-21

EDEN chorus pedal. With original 15V power supply. Never gigged. Not at hand to photograph ATM but let me know if interested and I will update. In fact it is better than when new 😳 I noticed noise when adjusting pots. Not "pot noise". Worked out that it was due to my fingers touching the metal top plate. The paint on the enclosure meant it wasn't connected to 0V via the enclosure. Sorted that then noticed that paint was causing a poor connection between the two parts of the enclosure so sorted that. Then all good. Review here: https://www.premierguitar.com/eden-i-90-bass-chorus-review

Is This Price for Making A Neck Reasonable?
rmorris replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
Going back to the initial post. I'd make the point that you can't reasonably expect the original discount (due to the finish) to be reflected in a new neck price. But seems you have resolved that anyway by reprofiling etc the current neck. And tbh if you've already had a couple of hours "consultation" it sounds like you're getting a decent deal. Sounds like a useful luthier. Might want to give them a shout on here ? -
It's all physics. Everything is 🙂

Not sure where the threshold here is but...played a gig with Catatonia in Cardiff and Cerys did BVs on the demo of a band I was on. Being a friend of our singer and working upstairs from the studio attached to Grassroots youth project. Cardiff 90s "scene" centred on Clwb Ifor Bach. Although gig was in the Stage Door venue near St Davids shopping centre.

Can still report to police retrospectively. But possibly more productive to also report to the relevant local authority wrt licencing.

I'm interested in a couple of PCBs. Although just one is fine if demand outstrips supply as not wanting to be 'greedy'. Will DM to ask price and postage if you decide to sell the spare bare pcbs.
-
You have schematic / BOM for these ?
-
Of course, the real answer is to go headless 🙂
-
That looks so wrong 😳 I honestly can't work out how the B, E and A strings are supposed to work with that headstock. Those breakout angles ain't right 🤣
-
Yes. It's all Physics. Everything is. It's a matter of how we understand and interporate it.

There seems to be a lack of people mentioning string guages and string types here. It's a critical part of the equation defining the string tension required. It's related to, but not the same as string flexibility. Flexibility is affected by string make up eg hex or round core. Ratio of core to winding. As with short scale in general, harmonic response may be impaired by a thicker string but the tension decreased. Many feel that the extra "snap" of the thicker string and the lower action possible compensates.
