Solved! Replacement footswitch for EBS pedal
dyerseve replied to Ghost_Bass's topic in Repairs and Technical
I would contact the manufacturer directly and explain the situation. They may even be able to supply one FOC -
great to hear you are sorted and they are still delivering the same high level of customer service!

9V batteries - Duracell Professional or Power Plus ???
dyerseve replied to dmccombe7's topic in General Discussion
AFAIK the important thing to look for when choosing batteries is the Ah(Amp hour) rating. The higher the figure the longer they will last(theoretically) -
[quote name='petetexas' timestamp='1489500869' post='3257453'] Just purchased one these Warwicks , the single humbucker version , and when looked inside the back , found that the MEC circuit board has two ` trim ` pots on the corner . Does anyone know what they are for ? No reply from MEC or Warwick . ( did not really expect any reply ! ) Pete [/quote] Warwick are normally very good at replying to emails so either wait a bit or try again.

Gear4Music selling Damaged stuff - good, easy projects
dyerseve replied to Grangur's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
[quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1489402794' post='3256550'] Not outrageous - £150 - price also included a set up and new nut. [/quote] Not outrageous! That is very reasonable money for a job like that, especially given the quality of the repair! Great to see a bass saved from becoming skip fodder! Do you have any before and after shots from the front of the neck please? -
Extended Length Bass Strings - Where do you buy them?
dyerseve replied to Mwoit's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Mwoit' timestamp='1489325164' post='3256017'] Correct. It's super nice. I realize after playing it a bit that the .174 gauge string isn't seated correctly on the nut. How do I widen the nut to accommodate the extra string width? [/quote] Use a nut file. Look on eBay, they aren't expensive. Doubt you will find one the exact size you need but use the nearest size one and apply some sideways pressure to widen the slot each side. -
Looks a bit of a bargain to me. That bridge design is interesting too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272587026512

Great job! What was the cost? -
[quote name='Roger2611' timestamp='1489344254' post='3256215'] http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fender-bass-/172572360550?hash=item282e1d3f66:g:lVgAAOSwzgBYxVN~ Found this on Ebay today, clearly not a genuine Fender, I have messaged the seller and explained why it is not genuine and what it is likely to be....I got the message back "Ok thanks" I assumed the seller may either pull the listing or at least edit it....it appears not. Great target for someone to buy it, wait until it turns up, rightly claim it is not as advertised and get Paypal to refund their money = free bass! [/quote] Except they would have to return the bass to get the refund!

Allparts unfinished neck - minimum effort...
dyerseve replied to anzoid's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1489324598' post='3256007'] Thanks for the advice on sanding! I'll definitely be on the lookout for that.. My main problem with sprayed lacquer is that I have literally nowhere at home that I could do spraying that wouldn't get me in trouble Could have done it in the old house, but not since we moved. Does anyboy have experience of Tru-Oil applied on a maple neck? From the extra reading I've done since posting the question, it seems like a reasonable finish if applied using the finger tips and worked into the wood. I'm quite happy to spend a reasonable amount of time on this - the journey is as of much interest as the destination [/quote] I would just use Danish oil to finish. Dead easy to apply and leaves an attractive and durable finish -
Want a fretted and also a fretless bass ?
dyerseve replied to essexbasscat's topic in General Discussion
Just cannot see what need there is for this bass. Surely a niche within a niche within a niche! As said above I think a dual neck would be a less clumsy solution -
I think the bad intonation is the least of it's concerns!

I have one like this - it should come with a PCI card as well: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DMX-6Fire-24-96-by-Terratec/262886315577?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D299ffc9585f7417d8b8ab05a2748cfb9%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D4%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D162201205836

be careful with how hot your bass's output is. I blew the input on a soundcard when I plugged one of mine in - it runs 18V active EQ though. you can get some very decent soundcards which have a front mounted module that is the same size as a DVD-ROM drive that will have 1/4" jack inputs and RCA outputs to make connecting your bass very easy as well as listening to it.

[quote name='spectoremg' timestamp='1488833868' post='3252263'] And the horror continues into the body. Also the G string hangs over the edge of the headstock. Very poor. [attachment=239889:Washburn bass.jpg] [/quote] I quite like that body but agree the headstock is a very poor design. That nut must of had a hard life!

Hip hop... there's actually a lot of good stuff!

Try D'angelo's album Voodoo which features the rather talented Pino Paladino! His latest album is also exceptional: https://youtu.be/lZoxdPGu_4E -

dyerseve replied to Jaykingfunk's topic in Repairs and Technical
[quote name='Jaykingfunk' timestamp='1488706109' post='3251109'] Sorry if this has been posted before! Had a look online and Thomann sell loads of spares but the shipping is 30 euros, for a £5 volume knob... Anyone know of any UK distributors where I can get spares from? Cheers, J. [/quote] You can buy from Warwick direct. Shipping is 10 Euro I think. Thomas shopping isn't normally that expensive from what I remember? I thoughy it was also 10Euro? -
[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1488723379' post='3251275'] That's an abomination. [/quote] Considering it could be headless as well, there really is no excuse for such a hideous head. I really like the body aesthetics though.
