Hmm, looks a lot more complicated than turning a knob, especially on the fly at gigs. Not for me, but i wish him luck

All this time travel stuff is very confusing, I need a Doctor lol. Don’t suppose there will ever be a programmable PDDI like the BDDI version? Ive found too many good tones in mine, struggling to choose.

Thanks for the photos. I like how small they are. I'll only need them to sit behind the amps and put a bit of light movement on the wall behind us. For this i think they will be perfect. My son on the other hand, will be staging Live Aid 3 in his small bedroom with them lol. He keeps on about a smoke machine but thats not going to happen.

Cool. Thanks for the clarification. Might get a set for the band (and my sons room).

These look cool. am i reading the eBay link correctly and its £77 for two?

Yeah, i wasnt saying there was anything wrong with a MIM, just how much more expensive the MIA necks are. A MIM would be fine if i found the right combination.

I’m 100% happy gigging with either of my Squiers, although i chose not to at the moment. So paying more doesn’t equate to getting more sometimes. If it feels right it is right. Sometimes we have to pay more for a particular set up, and of course nicer wood etc, but these are personal wants rather than must haves IME. Still, you are right, the classifieds might be an option, although there is already someone looking for a jazz neck.

Thanks. Replied to you on TB but appreciate the duplicated replies.

Not tempted at all. I cant stand black blocks on a maple fretboard, nor a Jazz without a control plate and PG. But the Birdseye maple is wonderful. I spec'ed a neck on Warmoth and its working out at about £350 in shipping. Probably more than i want to spend on a neck, and this was more or less just the basic options.

Well yeah, as i said above I’m going to look on their website, and as above, ive also used one of their necks so know their quality.

Yeah, ive used them in the past as well. I hadn’t thought of looking there today, ill go and see what they have. Maybe my first post wasnt clear but I’m only after a maple/maple neck. Cheers.

Cheers all. I looked at Northwest before posting but they didnt seem suitable. Ive also looked at Mighty Mite but they need drilling etc. As above, the Fender necks arent quite ready to play but do seem to be a good option. Those are MIM necks for that price, and the MIA necks are well over twice that from what i can see. Ill take a look at Warmoth. I had one of their necks on a bass years ago, very nice neck IIR. I don’t want ot get a new bass and just use the neck. Ive thought about that in the past but I’m a lazy bugger and there is no guarantee I could get rid of it quickly. The link is not to a bass with a maple fretboard so that wont do at all. Point taken though. If i was going to go the Mex route i might as well put my (much better) Squier CV Jazz neck on it, but thats not maple anyway (hence the Lakland neck). Or buy a CV jazz with a maple neck

Point taken, but as the scouting movement have preached to us for decades, all ways be prepared. I still think you should use a proper channel for an acoustic guitar though.

IMO its always better to have more than you first need to start with. Might want to mic up thre bass drum or something else at a later stage. We use the larger version off that and the sound quality is really nice. The only thing i find with those mixers is they can be quite complicated with all those routing options. Ive arrived at gigs to find i cant get any sound out of the desk because one of the cryptically labels buttons has been engaged.

What about this one Bas? https://www.musictribe.com/Categories/Behringer/Mixers/Analog/1002FX/p/P0572 I would be weary of putting an acoustic guitar in to a channel that only had T/B EQ. IME these need more adjustment than most other band instruments (or you could get a Q/Strip:-)

Cheers Michael. I had looked at the Fender ones but as you say, no tuners. I could buy tuners i guess, cant be hard to fit as long as the holes are drilled. Seems like the nut will need a bit of work but that too isn't a huge issues.

I've spent the past few days setting up my Fender P bass with my Lakland jazz neck. All went well and it plays fine, but today i noticed the heel is slightly narrower than the neck pocket, and the neck has about a 2mm gap all the way down. Rather than mess about with either (I’m not 100% convinced i like the neck anyway) I’d like to buy an off the shelf Jazz neck. I’m useless with drills etc, and have no patience to do these things properly, so i want to get a direct replacement. So it would have tuners installed, nut cut and 4 holes cut for a standard Fender MIA P bass. Must be Maple, and rolled edges would be even nicer. Can anyone recommend somewhere that could supply the above? Cheers.

I brought a Lakland neck off here a good few years ago. It was to put on a Squier CVP. Its been on and off that and my CV Jazz over the years, but for the past 5 years just sitting in an alcove in my bedroom. A few days ago i put it on my Fender to see how it felt, and other than a few truss rod tweaks its playing just as well as it did when I first got it. I was quite surprised as it’s very thin neck. I thought it might be twisted or warped but its fine. So i d say just keep it in the house somewhere fairly dry and warm and it will be fine.

Damn!!! Loved his playing with UFO. I saw them so many times during their heyday. I could never understand why they never got the same recognition as other bands around that time like Iron Maiden.

Garage band has a pretty decent drum section built in.

I think Procrate does this, or one of the Adobe apps.

I got my PD yesterday. I had forgotten how powerful it is. Very happy with it (only used headphones so far). I can see me never using the two filters on bass, nice to have them though. One thing that puzzles me is the level knob doesnt turn the audio off when its all the way down. With the Blend off and level at zero i would have thought the audio would be muted, but its still quite loud. This is though both XLR and 1/4 jack. It took me a while to get a volume level that didn’t blow my ears off. With my BDDI the level goes down to almost inaudible. Still, very happy with it.....for now.

Seems like the above does work so job done.

Anyone got any recommendations for a cheaper 3 way foot switch for the above amp? The TCE one seems a bit steep for what it is. or, does anyone know if this will work https://www.amazon.co.uk/DigiTech-FS3X-Foot-Controller-Digitech/dp/B000K69UM8/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_267_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9NS42Z9ZHH3F2RK8FGKN Cheers.

I tend to sweat a lot 🙂 Ill fix that now.
