Yeah, I've thought about checking out some behringer. And the squealing pig sounds is what I'm after! I thought it was cool how when I turned it on it could go from fuzzy bass to feedback by just muting the strings.

I’ve been using my friends OBNE Haunt lately as a change from the muff that I normally use. Last night I turned up the fuzz all the way, which sounded great, and when I stopped playing it just squealed with feedback and clanky noise. I’ve recently started a noise rock band (alla Girl Band) and I think it’d be cool to have a fuzz that I could put on just for this kind of sound. However the Haunt is a bit pricey for me, especially considering that I’m only going to be using it for the purpose of making a horrendous racket, which I expect I’d be able to get with a cheaper pedal. Anyone have any recommendations for any pedals that would do this?

Nice one! I borrowed a friends BBM once and found the whole thing with the volume to be a bit of a pain. Did you modify the circuit much to add the oscillation mod? I can only find diagrams online for making a feedback looper as a separate pedal, and while that would be cool to try with different effects, I'd prefer to save space on my board. I was thinking of just using this diagram and wiring what would be the send and return jack tips to the input and output of the circuit. Also swap out the SPDT for a momentary foot switch. Do you reckon that would work? Or like you said, try some probes in different places.

I've made a couple of muff's for friends of mine and thought I'd make one for myself. I'm planning on adding a feedback circuit, similar to the self-oscillation circuit that Fuzzrocious do. I'd probably wire it up with a momentary foot switch to activate the feedback. Does anyone have any experience of adding such a thing to fuzz? any schematics would be greatly appreciated.

For sale is my JHS Muffuletta. Swiss Army knife for muff lovers. I’ve been using this for a few years now and it is fantastic. However, I’ve recently started making my own Muffs, mainly for friends, and thought it strange that I’ve not actually been using one of my own myself. Great condition, got some lines on that the previous owner put on, presumably in permanent marker because it won’t come off. Although, who cares when it sounds as good as it does! Will post within UK. Collection from Leeds, or Wrexham.

On hold!

I’d say so, yes. The neck pickup is further towards the neck than a traditional Fender and the bridge pickup is pretty close to the bridge. Obviously the scale length and body etc are a pretty different in relation to a Fender Jazz, but I reckon that it’s an approximation of 70s spacing.

For sale is my Mayones Jabba Classic 5. Considering selling as it doesn't really suit what I'm playing anymore and I don't have much use for a 5 string. It's a truly fantastic bass and I'd love to keep hold of it for sentimental reasons but I have to think of practicality. Beautiful finish (believe it's graphite burst or something?), Aguilar pickups, glockenklang 3 band active eq with passive switching. The master volume pot could do with being replaced as it's a little bit crackly but I haven't got round to doing it. It's currently strung with Ernie Ball rounds but can post with a set of La Bella flats that have been cut for this bass that I only removed recently. It's honestly the best sounding jazz I've played, easily does the classic sound as well as a more modern sound when you switch to active. 9/10 for condition, just some light dinks here and there and a couple of scratches on the back of the neck. I'm after £900 and it'll be sold with a scruffy Mayones soft case. Collection preferred (the bass is currently in Leeds but I can get it across to Wrexham North Wales if that's any easier for anyone. Will post in a Hiscox hard case if buyer is happy to cover the costs. No trades as it's funding another bass. Drop me a message if you have any questions!

Cheers everyone. Got it pretty much sorted now, actions a tad high but it’s far better than before.

Got a new (old) Guild B302 today, and while it’s a lovely bass it could do with a set up. Buzzing all over the shop. My main issue here is that the bridge is unlike most bridges I’ve come across. It appears that there’s two main bolts on each side of the bridge that raise the bridge itself, and a smaller cog that must raise the neck-end of the bridge. Anyone able to suggest the best way to raise the action? There’s no individual saddles alla Fender and most basses. Seems to be all in the bridge. While I could go and get it set up professionally, I’d rather give it a go myself since I just spent money on the bass itself. Note: the neck seems fine, very slight bow but nothing serious.

Cheers Bigwan and Ceebass. I'll double check with the Jed's peds and also Musikding. I'm in Wrexham, North Wales currently but I study in Leeds, so I'm back and forth. I'm sure between the two there's probably someone who can give us a hand. I'm going to start building a Microamp clone soon so I guess just a few holes in an enclosure (Jacks, power, led, pots, 3PDT). If you can that'd be great but don't want to put you out! If I can find somewhere where I can get them on demand that'd be great.

Is anyone aware of anywhere in the UK where you can buy pre-drilled pedal enclosures? I have CTS in both wrists so I don’t feel too confident drilling the enclosures myself at the moment due to poor grip/wrist pain etc.

Anyone familiar with Steve Albini will surely be familiar with the Harmonic Percolator pedal. For those who aren't, I'll attach a link below. https://youtu.be/zYV_ikJGJaA As much as I love this pedal, it's just not getting much use in the bands I'm it at the moment. I had this commissioned in the summer of 2017 and had it since September. It's basically new and been gigged once or twice. I'll post with instructions manual. It's been modded with a bass switch to allow more low end but I've personally found that it retains low end well by itself. Also got switching between diodes (no diodes, germanium and silicon), each sound very different and offer plenty of variation. £80 + postage, or collection from Leeds or Wrexham (North Wales) by request.- 1 reply

Thanks everyone my symptoms are mainly pain in my hands and around the underside of my wrist. The hand pain is mainly in the joints and muscles but depends on what I’m doing with my hand. The pain normally comes and goes but it’s primarily there when I play bass. I don’t get numbness, but my joints tend to almost ‘lock’ or collapse occasionally. My index finger is the only one to get any numbness, it basically feels clumsy when I play, if that makes sense. I struggle to pick things up and do things like turn door handles, cut food etc. I’m just at a bit of a loss as both people I’ve seen have told me different things so I’m not sure what I should be doing to get better, how long to expect to be like this etc

I have actually been recommended trying out a short scale for it. Many have to invest in a cheap one and give it a go. Did it take long for the inflammation to go down?
-
How long did it take for recovery if you don’t me asking?
-
He’s given me two but told me to research more myself
