The pedalboard doesn't make any difference from what I can tell. The video was bass direct into the amp, and with the pedalboard added the noise is exactly the same. Again this is a new issue and nothing has seemingly changed to cause it. Pedalboard and amp have been working fine together previously and I haven't made any changes. I'm in the UK and on all occasions have just been using mains power with the same issue as home and at various venues. This could be a factor adding to the noise for sure, but I'd be very surprised if it was causing such a problem all of a sudden. Had a look a can't see any missing screws, but thank you for suggestion. Thank you for all the input, it's much appreciated. I have some time this week so I'll take the casing off the amp and see if there's anything obvious!

Thanks very much go the reply! Just to clarify a few more things, the Nordstrand and Aguilar jazz bass pickups are all dual coil so when a single pickup is selected shouldn't they also be acting as humbuckers, therefore not creating so much noise? The noise does change slightly when moving the basses around the room but not massively. The work around on gigs has been to take a DI straight from my pedalboard as this has been a much cleaner signal. Once the amp is introduced the buzzing is present. If the issue was the bass wouldn't the noise be similar coming from my pedalboard? I've had a further play around and going direct through a powered PA speaker and a Fender Rumble 15 there is no buzzing, and everything is working as expected. Also I do a lot of practice through an interface and through headphones and again the buzzing isn't present. Obviously things will never be silent but with the Mesa things are currently unusable. As mentioned above the issue is new as well and hasn't been a problem ever before. I've had the amp maybe 6 or 7 years now and have gigged through all of that time.

My Mesa D800 has recently started making a lot of noise when using it and after tying to troubleshoot, I'm in need of some advice. With nothing plugged into the input the amp is fine. From there I've plugged in a few different basses to see how I reacted and things went as follows: Dual humbucker bass - no noise when using humbuckers, lots of buzzing when coil split, more than would be expected of single coils. Passive Jazz bass V with Nordstrand Hum cancelling pickups - no noise when pickups blended at 50/50, loud buzzing when blended anywhere other than dead centre. Shuker PJ5 - Some noise when P pickup isolated, lots of buzzing when introducing any bridge pickup at all. Aguilar hum cancelling bridge pickup, and is the same in both active and passive settings. The same noise has happened on a few gigs now and at home so I've ruled the power source. It seems what I'd expect of 60hz hum, but no idea why it's happening on my basses with him cancelling pickups. It's also a new thing that hasn't been present in the past. I've attached a shirt video of the sound. Any ideas as to what could be causing it, or anything I can do to reduce the noise as currently it's not workable on a gig? Any help is much appreciated!

I don't think it can even power the HX Stomp unfortunately, I moved over to a Cioks Sol as I got a Stomp recently -
Price drop to £90 I'm currently upgrading my pedal board, so my Cioks DC5 is going spare. I bought if off here a few years ago, and it has worked perfectly for me. You can see scratches on the top of the power supply from where it was mounted under my Pedaltrain Nano+. It comes with the box, mains power lead, all the various leads to power pedals, and the mounting hardware. You can see in the photos, the mains lead has a small nick in the end of it. This had happened before I bought it, but has never caused any issues. Happy to post for a little extra.

Price drop to £40 A nice lightweight P Bass body finished in a subtle black burst and true oil. I believe it's made of Paulownia but don't know for certain. I did the finish myself, which was a first, so there's a few marks and scratches in it, but overall it looks good. It fits a standard fender neck and I can include an pickguard/control plate combo for a little extra. It's also quite a soft wood so there are a couple of dents, the worst being on the front underneath where the bridge sits, so isn't visible when built up. The only other thing to note is there is a hole through the back of the control cavity where I previously had a trim pot. Happy to ship, but please note the body is quite soft, so while I'm happy to ship the body, I would prefer collection. Any questions please let me know!-

Price drop to £1800 I bought this bass off here last year, and although it's a fantastic instrument, I bought it because of my love of The Police, not my need for yet another P Bass. I'll try to give as much info as possible, but I don't know all that much unfortunately. The serial number dates to 1978, however the previous owner believed it could date be as late as 1980 given Fenders of the era. The finish on the back of the body isn't original, and is a strange matte finish. The front of the body could be original as it retains a nice smooth gloss, but I don't know for definite. The same goes for the neck, it appears the fingerboard has been planed down and refinished, but the headstock and back of the neck could be original. The bridge has been replaced with in the basses lifetime as well. The metal grounding plate from under the pickup is also missing and only the bridge ashtray cover is original, the pickup one is a newer reproduction. Everything else appears to be original. It also comes with a non original late 70's fender case. The bass was setup by Jon Shuker just after I got it and is strung with Thomastik flats. It plays really nicely, and sounds exactly how a fretless P bass should. I don't want to look into couriering the bass for now, so collection only from Leeds. If you have any questions please feel free to ask! Edit Could be interested in a trade for a Stingray

Realised I've over priced this based on what I paid for it so I've updated the advert to reflect. -
Great! I've sent you a PM. -
A set of 4 right handed Hipshot Ultralites Licensed Tuners that were briefly fitted to a neck but have never really been used. The tuners themselves are in nearly new condition and come with the mounting screws.

Here's a Northwest Guitars P Bass Neck in a vintage tinted gloss finish. It was briefly fitted to a parts build but has never really been used as I have P basses! It's an earlier model with the Fender headstock shape and is fitted with a Sandberg style string retainer. It's also drilled for Hipshot Ultralites currently. It's in very good condition, there is one tiny dent on the top side of the neck between the 13th and 14th frets, and a tiny bit of finish has been taken off either edge where a previous owner has done some fretwork. Happy to post the neck at an additional cost, and if you have any questions please feel free to ask!

I hope this is okay to post here, as I'm looking for someone who could help me out with cutting the neck support for a guitar rack. I unfortunately don't have the tools or skills needed to do this neatly. I'm essentially wanting the drawing below cut out of 15mm plywood. More than happy to pay for your time and expertise as well! If any one is able to help let me know and I'll drop you a PM to discuss it all further.

Thankyou! The body is quite light, I don't have particularly accurate scales but the bass seems to weigh around 3.6-3.7kg -
Open to offers or parting out A bit of an experimental idea I had for a P Bass as I find myself almost always using the volume on full, and leaving the tone control about halfway. Therefore I decided to put together a p Bass just with an on-off switch and a trim pot for the tone, accessible through the back of the bass. It works well, and plays nicely, but I've found myself with four black p basses and I can't justifying having all of them! Specs Northwest Guitars Neck - Gloss finish Red Meranti body bought off eBay (stained and oiled) Hipshot licensed ultra lite tuners Northern Pickups modern P Bass pickup KiOgon solderless loom I did the finish myself, which was a first, so it is a long way from a professional finish with too many imperfections to count. It's also a very soft body so it does have a few small dents. I've tried to photograph the main ones but please ask if you'd like more photos. As said above the bass plays very nicely and really is a player's instrument so hopefully someone will buy it to do just that!
