Don’t leave the window open if the light is on.

This looks delightful;

I’ll post you my old one if you like! My new one arrives from Amazon this afternoon 🤞🏻

Most pedals work with 9v dc centre negative, but some don’t (or require more milliamps). What are the pedals? What power supply are you using?

Those horns make me think of balloon animals. Top one stretches to the 9th fret?! No neck dive there. Looks interesting, and ergonomic.

Ooh! It’s got a temperature display!!!

Somehow I’ve turned in to the bloke who fixes stuff amongst my circle of musicians friends. I have an old soldering iron that doesn’t seem to get hot enough for modern lead free stuff, so I need a new iron. Please let me know your cost-effective hobby-level bit alright soldering irons! Thank you in advance, Pete.

Surely there’s a basschatter in your neck of the woods who can assist? If you were Dom in Dunvant I’d gladly assist. Which reminds me, I need to pop over my mates house to help him with his piano & Audacity!

Even without the driver that’s a good deal - couldn’t buy the wood and hardware for that!

Browsing the classifieds for my imaginary lottery win, I’m just spotting loads of deals for you!

A little stretch of your budget and you could get this;

Small but capable combo. Got to be a secondhand Fender Rumble 100 v3. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/305995495048?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=NNXsQ2i9SeS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tEgOCJh6Qn2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Crikey there are some deals about. As an example; or old cab… … plus one of those discounted brand new TC heads people posted about the other day; Barely scratching the surface!

I wouldn’t go any lower than sea level without specialist equipment.

Corr!!!!

Oh no! Must have been a duff driver?

8khz is still quite high. A lot of people like putting keys through guitar amps, and they top out about 5khz? Depends on the sorts of keys sounds you need, and what your tastes are, I guess. Might try my daughter’s electric piano (Kawai somethingorother) through my micro cab this afternoon to see what it sounds like. I love the idea of a 2x6. Got the cab building itch again…

Just saw this on eBay and came straight here to tell someone. Late to the party. Wtf have they done?!?!

Did the wiring - bloody awful brittle stuff. So many issues I’m not going to do anything else! Noticed how far out of alignment the pickups are. Looks like they were way out from new. The crack has a build up of gunk in it, so assume it’s been like this for a long time. It can stay like it is as it’s usable.

Hello chaps. A friend of mine just dropped off a bass in need of a dab of solder (I’m certainly no tech, and not charging money, just helping a mate out). Bass in question is a Satellite P bass. Assume ash body, maple neck & board, white scratchplate. I’ve not heard great things about them, but this plays nicely. Was going to give the trussrod a tweak as the action could be a little lower at the dusty end, but then I spotted a big crack between the neck & fretboard between 12th & 19th frets. Truss rod access is at the body end. Assuming it’s been over-tightened, so will let sleeping dogs lie! Is it worth wicking a bit of CA glue in to the crack to stabilize it?

It’s all about perspective - basslines on fire? Cook an egg to replenish yourself by the time you finish the song. It’s a win-win for me.

Love it. I’m really appreciating chrome pickups recently - something nice & different to boring black plastic. You need to do a “basses on the settee” update - you’ve got some cool looking basses!

This Guyatone EB4 is closer with the dots on the fretboard; https://www.guitar-auctions.co.uk/sale/169/285/1970s-Guyatone-EB4-bass-guitar-made-in-Japan
