  1. On your exterior door you need to weld the hinge pins in place, otherwise they can be drifted out and the door removed.
  2. I give a few to a model maker mate of mine. He uses them for pilot's oxygen hoses amongst other things...
  3. A Columbus Jazz, sunburst with block markers, was my first 'proper' bass. I paid £80 for it, new, in a Brum music shop in 1973 (?). It worked - you could play bass on it... The Fender Musicmaster was a big upgrade.
  4. Got to agree... I like the Rockboard flat cables RockBoard RBO CAB PC F 10 BLK Flat Patch Cable, 10cm (gak.co.uk) I can't make them for that price. I've got an iron set up ready and a bag of bits so making up cables is not a chore, but only really necessary for custom lengths. I've been soldering and making cables for over 40 years so it's no hassle - quite enjoyable and meditative when you're all set up with the bits and bobs.... 🙂
  5. Maybe they fit the stacked pot for two pickup models? So why not save a few bucks and use a single pot with the single pickup... Strange.
  6. Hmmm... as drawn that second 250K pot does nothing.
  7. Oh, forgot; they have separate solder tags for screen and signal too, and an insulator sheet... Use a Philips 1 screwdriver.
  8. I rate the Hicon flat angled jacks. They fit tightly onto Sommer XXL cable - even tighter with an H3 sleeve. Use some Tippex or nail varnish on the screws.
  9. Am I missing something here? They sound stinky poo in the demo.
  10. If you must scour them use a Scotchbrite pad and some isopropyl alcohol.. Wire wool will leave sharp bits of metal everywhere.
  11. Double, no, triple Congratulations!
  12. That is really good. Great playing and tone.
  13. A notched ruler is essential to get the neck straight for levelling. One for bass on for guitars (Crimson). A beam and abrasive paper - the self adhesive 3M Stikit Gold is the my favourite (320 + 600) . Short and long beams for bass and guitar, (Guitars & Woods aluminium beams are excellent) . Crowning files - these are the hardest to get right; all the cheap stuff is crap, maybe OK for a single neck. Diamond V files are the quickest (Chris Alsop Guitar ones are very good). Safe edge triangle files (Crimson) work well but are a lot of work for 48 fret sides... Have yet to try StewMac diamond files. For polishing it's micromesh pads 3200 - 12000, keep them wet and use moderate pressure... Masking tape on a dispenser (StewMac) speeds things up too... A 600mm straight edge for guitar, 900mm for bass. A fret rocker. A string action guage (the black Stringtec one is good). Better get some nut files - I like the UO-Chikyu - Hiroshima ones - the StewMac diamond ones look the business (10 files 0.010 to 0.135 cover bass and guitar). All the above is not cheap, but once bought the hardware will last a lifetime and it means you can tackle mostly any guitar and bass. So, the crucial question is, how much use will they get? If you own multiple instruments it's a worthwhile investment, and you can turn s/h bargains into great instruments. Some of the above will do for a single guitar... Avoid the cheap eBay options as they're mostly rubbish; buy the good stuff bit by bit and it will last.
  14. A good old fashioned hand drill is perfect for this. Check junk shops and car boot sales... It has to be an old, twin pinion job - everything modern I have seen is chanky junk.
  15. Yeh, but it could make your stinky poos smell of bass....
  16. Get both, try them, send one back... 😉 It's the only way to be sure. IMHO the J pup is pretty useless on a Mustang, simply not needed. JMJ is the best of the Mustangs (If you like the neck width and can't find a great 70's one)... Road worn? Meh, who cares - it's going to get some dings eventually and pre-dinged is kind of liberating.... YMMV
  17. Yes, it's like old Telecasters... they're a kind of Zen. They say "look how amazing I am, I can play amazing stuff on the simplest of all instruments, I don't need fancy tools 'cos I have super subtle skills..." 😉
  18. Flip it over for a bit of sole music?
  19. An Introduction to AVB Networking | PreSonus Check your in/out signal patching
  20. See AVB Ecosystem Checklist | PreSonus
  21. I'm not totally familiar with the specific desk BUT... It's either; AVB network cable faulty - try another CAT6 cable Select the Right Ethernet Cable | PreSonus Setup in the mixer - does Aux over AVB have to be enabled in a setup menu? Mixer firmware issue - have you updated to the latest version? It's unlikely both stage boxes are faulty (unless there is a firmware version incompatibility). Can't think of anything else...
  22. Just as an experiment try a radically different amp / cab setup too... I have a thing in the house where any bass through my tc 2 x 8" combo has a hugely loud A. Something to do with the speakers and room dimensions I think. Plug into the Rumble 1x 15" combo and it all sounds fine.
  23. Audio-Technica ATH-M50X Studio Monitor Professional Headphones - Black: Amazon.co.uk: Musical Instruments £108 delivered
  24. Stick them on with a blob of silicon sealer - you will be able to get them off when required
  25. Sounds like output B is dead - so bridge mode isn't going to work.
