  1. I know what you mean about drilling the end pin! I was originally looking into the cheapest way to buy a notch filter for use with my mate's Hofner Verithin bass, and making this into a pedal. You could even build it into a low wooden box and use the internal Mic as one of those foot stompy things.

  3. saw this on eBay, piezo, Mic blend notch filter and tuner. Wonder if they are any good? Anyone tried one? Is it a knockoff at this price? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FISHMAN-presys-blend-301-Dual-Mode-Guitar-Preamp-EQ-Tuner-Piezo-Pickup-Mic-Beat/122915085720?epid=538968934&hash=item1c9e4f5d98:g:B1UAAOSwiflasLs9
  4. I hear this advice in the voice of Scotty, from Star Trek. Am I the only one?
  5. look out for a set of Rokit monitors in the For Sale section soon folks!
  6. You could probably buy Vox cloth to stretch over the Mark Bass grille. Might look quite nice.
  7. Don't they end in an x?
  8. Either move the bridge neck-wards, or rout the neck pocket further towards the bridge. A combination of the two might be best aesthetically.
  9. Or a gentle tap with a hammer and a wood block.
  10. As said above, the respect from his peers is impressive, and JB is the sort of slightly left-field artist I'm often drawn to, but somehow he just doesn't do it for me. His control of the instrument is amazing though.
  11. Good point BRX, a lot of old Japanese guitars had humbucker sized housings containing single coil gubbins.
  12. It's also worth bearing in mind that the lower you set your action, the more catastrophic the effect of seasonal changes to the neck; a slight straightening could render the thing unplayable. Also, and this is a matter of personal taste, I don't find the lowest achievable action yields the nicest sound, with normal playing, and restricts the available dynamics.
  13. Interesting video, and if you read into the comments, a guy from KRK pops up and says the engineers there had seen this conductive are corrosive potting compound in their products, which was not specified in the build standard. Get scraping!
  14. You sure you weren't at a Baldrick poetry recital?
  15. Squier pronounced like the ie part of quiet, I believe.
  16. A preamp or acoustic pedal that has a notch filter worked an absolute treat for my mate's Verithin bass. Stopped the feedback dead.
  17. Looks like a reasonable effort by someone for whom English is not their first language.
  18. We had a girl in our office from that neck of the woods. Even she admitted it sounded funny when we got her to say "how now, brown cow?". Right up there with getting a Glaswegian to say "burglar alarm"
  19. I thought this thread was going to be about somebody's "journey" to rehabilitation at some detox clinic up north
  20. Out of interest, what did you do, and how is it worse? Might be useful info for others considering the problem.
  21. Good work there, sounds like a good gigging unit after only 4 gigs behind you.
  22. Hipster Tug Bar, does sound like a, er, gentleman's club, or similar establishment.
  23. Nice. Good Changes has a touch of Hatfield and the North about it.
  24. I've never seen one with that shaped scratch-plate and those 4 controls laid out like that. They ones I've seen have 2 controls on a control plate like the Beatle Bass. Great basses these, really nice to play!
