fleabag

Just tried the Xvives with my other active -...an ESP fretless. ........... Dammit !!!

No Ibanezes in my stable, so dodged a bullet there.

I guess mr Bridgehouse explained this but i must have got lucky. I have another active bass to try, so i'll see if i can replicate the buzz on that one

Oooh over my dumb techy head, but sounds like a brilliant answer

Sale has been pulled

Thats bizarre - i tried it earlier this evening on my active bass, was fine. I dont know if it's because i was running through my Zoom B3 before the amp ? Just read the blurb on the link and it actually states " not for active pickups " and that's not quite the same as passive pickups using a preamp

I'll check that. I have a 4 x 10 Mk Vl combo that i'll be selling the speakers out of. I just assumed they were celestions before looking

The surgical truss ? Lose it

Yep, i guess counterfeit notes can be slipped in, but not newspaper

Just ditch the zimmer frame

Works fine on my passive and active basses

Not me. You have the coolest description under your forum name

OMG Then be prepared to be mocked !

Yes, much better to wipe a runny nose or sweat onto a shirt sleeve. A pro would always use the shirt and not a wristband, which is ideal.

Wouldn't any seller count the cash ? I think it would be a bit obvious if the buyer handed over a wad of £10 note shaped copies of the Dail Fail

Grace Slick was awesome.

Did that and all looks well - cheers. I just set the Ohms to it's lowest setting

Got it - thanks Bartelby. Says ON-ON on the side in tiny letters. Result. Now then, how do i know the switch is in working condition ? Been in the parts box for many years now Would a multi meter help ?

Just charge them back up

Guitar leads ... wha ? Use these - result. No chance of inopportune cable ejection https://www.andertons.co.uk/guitar-dept/guitar-wireless-systems/xvive-wireless-guitar-system-in-black

I need to dig out a magnifying glass from somehere as the stampings are tiny. I cannot see them even with my reading glasses

Anyone know how to determine what type of switch is ON-ON ? I have several mini switches in my parts box and i'm trying to choose one that is ON-ON. I'm ignoring one that has 3 positions ( is that ON-OFF-ON ? ) Also ignoring one that is sprung in both directions, meaning it doesnt stay in position, rather it springs back to the centre I'm guessing that it needs only 2 positions. I've found one of those, and it has 6 lugs underneath. Would that be the one i want ?

I have limited knowledge of old vintage brass bridges, but one i know for sure, was the '80s Aria SB basses. But they used very narrow string gauge, something 16.5 mm That could well be too narrow for you and too narrow for a P bass ( if that's what you play ) and the strings probably wont line up over the P pickup poles Having said that, they're as rare as chicken molars to find. Most people dont strip then off their vintage Aria SB axes

There's these guys https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/ And this guy Contact Armstrong Pickups Unit 31 Old Surrenden Manor, Bethersden, Ashford, Kent TN26 3DL Telephone: 01233 822120 There's more than these though. I expect some other recommendations soon from the BC collective

Back in the days of cheques, we were all giving our bank details away to stangers whenever we wrote a cheque. There's no scam in that respect. PP, yes ... but they're not involved. The only thing i would say to anyone coming to your house to pick up pricey equipment, is that you will only let one person into your home. If they turn up with more than one, they stay outside in the car.
