I just realised it's got a bit of the Joe Dart bass thing going on!

Very cool! I still have mine, and yes, they do weigh loads, I didn't even think about it when I was young. I modified mine to fretless, and changed the headstock to 3+1 so it actually fits in a normal bag! Also stripped all the paint off, not the best idea, as the Butcher block construction is not in the slightest attractive. The DiMarzio pickup is great though! I don’t use it anymore as I'm on short scales.

Bloody tricky to choose this month. Nice one everyone.
Yup. There's a whole soundtrack to a short film right here! Stirling work folks!

Thanks, that's reassuring.

I wonder if anyone on here has a circuit diagram for this or the guitar version 'MoFo'? My Google fu isn't working on this one.
There's a short to ground on the preamp psu -5V, present with the tl071 and 072 op amps removed and with the -5V regulator leg lifted. -5V present on the leg, so the regulator is OK.
I'm thinking one of the smoothing caps may have gone short, not easy to remove. There's a couple of 2n7000 fets in there too, not sure what they do, phase splitter drivers? Clipping circuit?

Swapped the phase splitter valve, still the same.

Vigier Delta metal on a budget?
Be interested to see how you get on.

Thanks chaps, seems a bit like cheating though!
I'll try the phase splitter valve first, then call in the big guns!

Just turned it on yesterday and there's a loud 50Hz hum and no instrument sound.
Haven't got round to swapping any valves yet, but could a faulty phase splitter valve cause this? It gets louder as the master volume is turned up, the gain control makes not difference.

It's a long thread and I may have missed it but how do people like fretless on a 30" scale? I've been using my Mustang for a good couple of years now and recorded some fretless the other day on my 34" and kinda struggled on the intonation. Thoughts please?

Ok, in early for a change! (one small benefit of being poorly)
I got a strong Blade Runner Vibe from the pic, so there's a bit of that ambient element, but then I DO enjoy bashing the drums too!

Love the matching lead! Very tasty!

I've done mine, just need to check the mix and upload it tonight.
You'll all be glad to hear the sonic screwdriver makes a welcome return in a desolate soundscape (I.e. it doesn't have a proper tune....)

Good work on the lyrics, Lurks!

Hornet vhs headphone equalisation and room simulation is on offer at 1.99 down from 10.99. Lots of headphones types in the library to flatten the response.

Not wishing to appear an ar$e, but, mods, shouldn't these videos be in the "share your music" subforum?

Busy band in this area. Beats a postcard at a rehearsal studio!

Nice, I'd listen to that!

I need to get going too, I'm always leaving it to the last minute, though that worked out OK last month, I guess...

Wow! Thanks to all who voted, and of course Lurks and Dad for running the competition. I feel rather unworthy, as this was one of my quickest efforts, and I feel sure others put in far more work than me!
The image for October is already in Lurks' inbox, I hope you all find inspiration from it, it's pretty dark!

@mr4stringz I'm liking the Dano, is the neck pickup approximately in the same spot as the p-pickup on the pj Mustang? I have the exact same fsr Mustang as yours, but I do miss 24 frets with good access...
