[quote name='danbowskill' timestamp='1455913096' post='2983668'] i used Musikding yes, great prices :-) I do think i might have bitten to much off doing the Ginger as a first build project though :-( I have power etc (Led, switch n jacks work) but all i get is horrid static sounds? volume and gain work but no sounds ,just static buzz?. ive checked the components to the list/diagram i have and solder joints ......... all appear good (to me that is)?? doing my nut in a bit tbh ...........any ideas,anyone done the ginger? cheers[attachment=212773:IMG_20160219_194722.jpg][attachment=212774:IMG_20160219_194727.jpg][attachment=212775:IMG_20160219_195723.jpg] [/quote] If you've checked solder joints, polarity of caps, leds & other components, no shorts to ground etc... Have you looked at the j-fets, are they OK? I've had issues previously with crap ones.

Ian bought some Resolite tuners from. A straight forward, no hassle transaction - the type every seller wants. Totally recommended. Cheers Nick

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1452955955' post='2955048'] Ah, after googling it I now see how it should look like! That's a pretty flawed design having the grain running across such a short distance and at a curve! So its no wonder they get broken. Looks nice though . It would definitely best to take it to a luthier. First the two broken areas would need to be sawn square then planed perfectly flat (or routed). Then a matching piece of Maple would be glued in, before reshaping and then routing out that curved slot again. Obviously then the headstock face would need to be refinished. It's always going to be a weak area as it's a flawed design, but if done correctly it should be no weaker after the repair than it was when first constructed. It'd be pretty straight forward but take some balls . [/quote] Thanks for your advice, much appreciated. Going to have a think about how to go about it. Someone else has suggested moulding a section out of fibreglass in place of the missing piece of wood, another suggestion was to use headstock from a damaged donor fenderish neck & cut a piece out to fit. Once I 've done all the other bits, will start approaching some luthiers. Cheers

[quote name='Manton Customs' timestamp='1452945463' post='2954911'] Nice looking bass . What's the headstock damage like? [/quote] Thanks... Here's a photo of the damage, section has broken away, unfortunately lost by previous owner. At the moment it's more of a Black Macaw than Eagle! Would be grateful for any advice or suggestions on possible repair. [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/2016-01-16%2012.14.15_zpsilioocd0.png.html"][/url] Cheers

The Ibanez Black Eagle has been on GAS list for over a decade, so when this 1977 Antoria (made in the same factory) popped up on Ebay a few weeks ago, I had to snap it up! I didn't pay much for it, but it does need a bit of work as per the photo. [url="http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/Basses/2016-01-15%2018.12.27_zpsaslvb0sw.png.html"][/url] The pickguard is missing, however I've found someone via the Black Eagle FB page to make a replica.The original pickups have been replaced by previous owner to Bartolinis. I 'm going to swap them out for some split coil humbuckers made by Jess Loureiro. I'm also going to rewire the bass with CTS pots, proper jazz knobs & a PIO tone cap. Replacing the old tuners for some nice new Gotohs too. The worst bit is the headstock damage, which I gather is quite common. Not sure yet how I'm going to fix it, will probably entrust a guitar repairer on this. However, the neck feels great, frets are good & it's a lovely bass to play. Contrary to all other reports I've seen on the weight of these basses, this Antoria is not heavy at all. Where the paint has been chipped in various places on the body, I can see quite light coloured wood, nothing like mahogany or a 'sandwich' block. It's a comfortable bass to use, thankfully not a backbreaker! Will post more pics, when I've finished tidying it up. Cheers

Ed bought a Farida bass off me. It was an easy, hassle free transaction. He's a top bloke to deal with - recommended.

Built this Mutron II clone for a friend. It's a six stage optical phaser and it sounds fantastic. I'm going to build myself another, but with variable phasing stage options & maybe 'univibe' mod too. Was quite an intensive build, with a home made vactrol... but worked like a charm on first power up [URL=http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/2015-11-21%2016.44.05_zpsqggeb7cz.png.html][IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/2015-11-21%2016.44.05_zpsqggeb7cz.png[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1087.photobucket.com/user/nickonbass69/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-11/2015-11-22%2010.19.04_zpsiqsqoqli.png.html][IMG]http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/j476/nickonbass69/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-11/2015-11-22%2010.19.04_zpsiqsqoqli.png[/IMG][/URL]

[quote name='ColinB' timestamp='1442091780' post='2864422'] If you're OK on making your own, then the RunOffGroove Ginger pedal is excellent. ([url="http://diy.thcustom.com/tag/runoffgroove-com/"]Here[/url].) [/quote] +1 on the 'Ginger'. My favourite low/medium overdrive. Great circuit by ROG, kudos to them - a lot of thought went into the design of it.

Joost bought my Yamaha BB1000. Lovely chap, nice person to do business with - easy transaction. Recommended. Thanks Nick

I use a clone of the 70's Maestro Stage Phaser. It has 5 or 6 stage options and goes quite deep, with no low end loss. That's my current favourite, though I think the EHX Nano Small Stone is great on bass too. I've got a Mutron II clone in build at the moment, so that may take Maestro clone's place on my board, after I hear it ...
-
Great list...would be interested to hear how Zeibek Submarine or SFX 'Big Beautiful Bass" compares to them too.
-
Up you again! ☺
-
I'm a bit of a phaser junky, built a few now. I'd recommend the Maestro Stage Phaser It can get really deep & resonant, with no low end loss. Madbean does a nice pcb of it: 'Stage Fright' It's my current favourite phaser...but that might change once I've finished off a Mutron II clone!
