Mr Randall

I’ve found the issue. The black wire on the battery compartment has become detached. It’s far too fiddly for me to solder, but at least I now know what it is and it’s not a major problem.

I’ve now had a chance to check all the leads going into my pedals and the issue remains. I’m stumped.

Hi there. No I haven’t, but I’m suspecting that it may be a lead issue on my pedalboard, as there’s some noise and interference going on when I stomp on certain pedals. Now that I’ve got a break I’m going to take my board apart and will check each lead and pedal.

Why has my MXR M87 bass compressor suddenly stopped registering my MusicMan stingray bass? The meter is completely dead but there’s s sound, whereas another passive bass - a Jack Casady - works fine and the meter lights up like a Christmas tree? I’ve tried the Stingray with a completely fresh battery but it doesn’t make a difference.

Thank you so much - really grateful! I've never heard of a one jack effects loop before....

Hi there. I've recently bought one of the above and love it. Great sound and also ultra light. I thought I'd give the effects loop a go but there's only one socket rather than two... the manual states 'a TSR Jack is provided for use with a Y cable (tip send ring return)'. As I bought this second hand I haven't got the TSR jack. Can anyone shed any light on how I get the loop working?

Thank you - I will give them a shout 🙂

I'm looking for a 4003 2023 Rickenbacker - specifically in matt black - but it's proving almost impossible here in London, UK.... do they even exist?? What's the easiest way to get my hands on one? Even Rickenbacker's site seems to have been down for months and they haven't responded to my query asking the same thing....

Ok - Tech21 have responded via email. I stand corrected - you can't copy from one channel to another. I was either dreaming or confusing the procedure with something else. Thanks for your help - that is the only way to do it - by manually copying....

Hi there. Does anybody know how to copy one channel to another on the Bass Driver Deluxe? I know it's really straightforward but I've completely forgotten......

Hi folks. My choice would have to be Paul Gray ex/previously/currently with The Damned. Check out The Black Album or Strawberries. A beautifully melodic player with a fantastic Rickenbacker tone. I've seen them quite a few times recently (and have tickets for their London Palladium show in October) and he just sets the whole band off. Please don't leave again Paul!

Thank you both. Will post pics soon.
