    Welcome Keith. You've come to the right place.
  2. SpondonBassed
    I ham unable to hear that for all the crackling in the background. I see you have beefed up your case somewhat however.

    I know my Ibanez preamp has Ibanez branding on the pcb and no branding marks externally visible on the mkI Bartolinis. I'll assume that yours is a Bartolini branded pre. Does the mid band on yours have switchable range?
  4. SpondonBassed
    I'd check with whoever represents the Pink Floyd brand if I were you. We could both be on very dodgy ground. Why couldn't you have gone with something like this?:

    We're having a Skype meeting with Mr Chown this weekend. I'll bear it in mind. Remember where you read it first. I'll grant licence for the usual fee.

    I hear good things about bamboo laminates. Also, @Christine is considering using Rocklite for the fingerboard on a build. The two together ought to earn some eco-geek points.

    Pork quoi?
  9. SpondonBassed
    Yes. The only other place I can see where it might belong is Repairs and Technical. I'd put it here and If the local mods get all bovva'd about it, they can move it as appropriate. I am very interested in the inlay process. I'm just off to see if I can find the swear jar.

    I heard that about the mkI Bartolinis when I was choosing the SR605. Mine has the two way mid tone control whereas the newer ones have a three way version. I suspect that the three way mid is supposed to address the preamp shortcomings. It got luke warm reviews also.

    It's getting exciting. Would MDF work with a CF wrap I wonder? It's probably not great under compression across the "grain".
  12. SpondonBassed
    Frankly? She finds it boaring.
  13. SpondonBassed
    That's a problem for some. Feature bloat can be a bugger when your needs are simple. It seems that no-one is bothered by it under the age of about fifty or so...?

    I was thinking more along the lines of starting a Rocklite topic here. Nice work on the block inlays. It looks like you do the routing "freehand" as it were. No template? That's how I like to work with the smaller power tools. Did you finish the edges with a chisel? Yes. I must stop skim reading.

    Depends on your intentions when left alone in a darkened room with it...

    I wondered about the 24th fret marker and thought it might not have been on the template. Having looked back, I see it has at the top of page two. Was it hard to do what with the frets being in and all?

    I'd get on better with an old kipper hanging off of my rear view mirror. Those air "fresheners" have a stench that really gets up my hooter.

    Cheers. I have it in mind to try that out on my Pit Bull. The passive humbuckers have a good output and the individual coil wires are accessible for tapping.

    Your topic title misled me somewhat. I had this in mind: You are right though. Nice relaxed conversation between Scott and one of my bass heroines. Cheers.
  20. SpondonBassed
    Welcome Guldur. Thanks for the link. I'm getting some great celtic vibes from the opening bars. I'll listen to that whole piece when I have less distractions.
  21. SpondonBassed
    Shrewd lad.
  22. SpondonBassed
    Can you describe the configuration options for the two pick-ups that the wiring diagram gives you please? It looks to my uneducated eyes as if you may have it wired to allow series/parallel switching but I'm only guessing.
  23. SpondonBassed
    Thank you. You took the hit for me by responding before I had the chance to say "Peppa Pig". That would have been seriously embarrassing. IOU 1
  24. SpondonBassed
    This is where you need to take a deep breath and let it out slowly. With the finish line in sight it is too easy to let the excitement blind you to potential c0ck ups. Those individual bridge rails are crucial. No pressure...

    You might have saved some yoof their trainee job. Good man!
