3.7kg by my bathroom scales 

Wow! That’s really, really good for a fiver, especially a ‘Ray. My Mustang weighs the same as that.

The 7" version seemed a bit short, the full-length one just went on and on and on, and we couldn't find a happy medium.

We added a verse to give it a more cohesive feel.
 

I always found the shortened 1st octave section out of the solo tricky to feel (IIRC it was a 6 count as opposed to an 8).

My big issue is that run on the F#m in Atomic, so many hand shifts,

My old band used to do this and I can testify that it is indeed quite the workout.

I'm of the opinion the 90s look better than the humbuckers.

You are not alone, they look great. Definitely tones down the bling factor.

The Family and the Fishing Net - Peter Gabriel

So the lesson is - if I could play as well as @knicknack I could play through anything and still sound good?! 

It has to be said that the straight into the i/face sounds damn good.

I use a VTDI straight into my Phil Jones rig, sounds good to me and I’ve also had compliments from others. 
 

For my tastes and questionable hearing, the Bassrig 15 was the winner. The Linden into the Luce was pretty good too. Like krispn, I’m intrigued as to the mystery box, as it sounds pretty good too.

You’ve already fitted right in. 👍

Which one was that?

Just checked my topic history (I sold it separately some years ago) and it appears to have been a Hipshot HE6C - 3/8".

Yeh, and guess which one I have been looking for, the only bass I want to drop tune!

I had this issue. However, I went with the one that Hipshot said would match, but required a slightly enlarged hole. I made the hole larger by just wrapping sandpaper around a cylindrical object (might have been a small, screwdriver handle) and rotating until the correct size was achieved. It didn’t take much. When I came to move the bass on, I replaced the D Tuner with the original tuner, suitably resized with tape (Hipshot recommend HVAC tape). It all went back together with no fuss.

Thanks all for your comments - I’ve just pulled the trigger! Time to find my screwdriver 😂 

 

best of luck with your hunt @Woodinblack! 

Good work, you won’t regret it. I’ve been using D Tuners for over 20 years, brilliant things. Once they’re set up up, they’re really accurate. That said, don’t be surprised that, after using it on a song, you find that your bass lines on the E string sound off because you’ve forgotten to set it back to standard, but maybe that’s just me .
