Looks like a great deal to me.

I like the wood, not so keen on the handbrake. The Andertons videos are fine as a bit of fun. A bit annoying if you want serious content though.

That looks beautiful, enjoy!

Glad you got the issue resolved anyway. FWIW, I've played some stunning Cort made guitars.

What a pain! I only order small items from Thomann, but was tempted to try a bass. Think I'll only shop there in person, when I can.

I started to learn guitar during lockdown, using the Fender online lessons. I love it and to be honest, my basses aren't getting enough love at the moment. I would learn on an electric given the hand issues. A well setup one will also help on the finger pain / difficultly fretting bar chords. Enjoy!

Also check the neck relief as well as the bridge saddles height. It's hard to say, without pictures. Was it ok before the strip down?

I use the VLE with the DI for recording. I could live without it, but it's effective and quick to dial in.

Have a look at the free editor for effects for these models: G5n, G3Xn, G3n, B3n, G1on, G1Xon, B1on, B1Xon, MS-50g, MS-60b, MS-70CDR. Gave my unit a 2nd wind and I was also able to put my favourite patches from the MS50G on there too. https://www.tonelib.net/tonelib-zoom.html

Wow, never knew these existed. I love my Ray and also the Jazz on the neck. Stunning.

I have a Zoom MS60B which I really like for modulation, delay, reverb and compression. Decent pedal and a good starting point

Hi Mark, Many thanks for the reply and apologies for the very late response. I did purchase a 220v 80VA transformer which was fitted. I did some further troubleshooting as the output was very low / noisy. I replaced one of the transistors that tested faulty, but that's as far as I got. It really needs someone with more expertise and a 'scope to diagnose further. If anyone around the London or Bucks / Beds area fancies looking at a project, that would be fantastic. Cheers.

Hi Chaps, I have an old TR25 solid state amp that I was given, not currently working. I believe it needs a new transformer at the very least, so starting from there. Can anyone help, as my electronics knowledge is pretty patchy and out of date! I was thinking of using a 100VA or 160VA 240v 18v toroidal transformer, which has two 18v outputs on the secondary, so I would run them in series to get the 36v AC the rectifier needs. Or would I need a 40v output given the rectifier losses? Rickenbacker tech support have not been helpful. There is a circuit diagram here, if anyone could spare the time and sanity check this for me. http://www.rickenbacker.com/pdfs/19341.pdf Thanks, Alan.

That looks beautiful, enjoy!
