Schaller, Gotoh, Hipshot - not much difference really

I've had good results with glass fibre tape + epoxy on the inside, then an epoxy / slurry crack fill on the outside.
Sand off any lumpy bits and finish with Plastikote black satin rattle can.

Early 70s Musicmasters have cute little tulip-shaped tuners, the pickguard is a different shape at the end of the neck and the logo decal is toally different. Also a '72 wouldn't be black with a black pickguard.
The serial starts S8 which suggests it was made between 1978 - 1981
The sticker in the pickup cavity shows 1979

You'll have to get a replacement stacked pot.
Lift the scratchplate and take some photos... is there a PCB or are they separate pots?

Lindy Fralin Jazz Bass set 5% overwound.
Sound phenomenal on my MIJ 62 JB RI.

Yes, use one pickup only, vol and tone on max, phone about 4" above pickup, make sure the Toneprint is for your Amp - I use the Spectracomp in my BG250 combo.
-
You could wire the pots as variable resistors across the output.
The volume pot would then give;
from 250K load (like standard vol pot) to 1M25 load - could use a zero load pot here
The tone pot would give;
from standard tone at 100% to basically nothing - could use a zero load pot here too.

Simplest way is using an HDMI cable (IF your tablet can manage an HDMI output) - what tablet? what connections? If you can find an HDMI adapter for the tablet then a cable should work.
With no HDMI out there is Miracast IF the projector supports this (which it probably won't) - what projector?
You may be able to Miracast/Airplay (if tablet can( to a Miracast/HDMI adapter at the projector, but there's a lot of 'ifs' ...
A laptop with an HDMI out is much more likely to work.

CPC Farnell
Search for Brennenstuhl Hugo
They do 4, 6 and 8 ways, polycarbonate body and chunky cable. The coloured ones are good for segregating systems.

Did anyone manage to bag one?! Really want to see how they compare to the Origin stuff. Got an ampless tour this summer and I think my trusty LeBass might be retiring!
Yes, got one from GAK last week.
Still working through its many settings.
Initial impressions are mixed... good EQ, DI with cab sim records well.
Compressor is lousy - either does nothing or pops, so basically unusable.
SVT mode works best for me - I'm after a wee bit of Ampeg grunt in the lows, which this box does, but lots of the stuff is irrelevant. Maybe if you want lots of distortion.
I'll persevere and try some IRs, but so far I'm preferring the SGFX Beta-V pedal for tones.

No I don’t like the Ampeg built in compressor at all. Seems
to either do nothing or pop and just sound bad,I use a Orgin Cali76 which is the best I’ve tried.
Yes, I'm not getting along with the built-in compressor either - as you say either nothing or pops and clicks. Maybe fixable with a firmware update?
The DI out with cab sim records well and there's heaps of EQ, but overall I'm preferring the SGFX Beta-V; now if that had a DI out... ;=)

Just got one of these and it's very good.
Into my Rumble 200 it adds some convincing Ampeg grit.
-
Great basses these - got a 2004 and it's a joy to play.
GLWTS.

Also the Rockboard flat ones.

UBB? mini, micro, or C?
search for 'android tablet network adapter' on Amazon and find one with the correct USB connector.
this one's USB C

ui12 does have a wired network socket so it should be possible ...
You need a wired network adapter for your tablet (iPad?) and a wee network switch
If the tablet is Thunderbolt then something like this (tablet specs vary, so check)...
and a switch
plug up with two network cables and put both devices on the same subnet 192.168.xxx.yyy with subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (see page "10.1.3: LAN" in manual)
... As ui12 network port auto negotiates, you may not need a switch (IF tablet adapter plays nice), just one cable...

That barrel-vaulted ceiling is focussing audio down to head height. Great for sermons, not so good for anything else.
I'd fly some thick absorbers around the height of the cross rails and put some 50mm panels, stood off the wall by 50mm, on the side walls - particularly at the speaker locations.

We shouldn't really be using 1/4" jacks for amps over 100W.
Neutrik jacks are only rated for 50V or less and the sockets are rated at 3A.
100W into 8R = 3.5A 28V
100W into 16R = 2.5A 40V150W into 8R = 4.3A 35V
150W into 16R = 3A 49V200W into 8R = 5A 40V
200W into 16R = 3.5A 56VSo it's easy to exceed volts or current ratings. They may/will still work but they're not really rated for it.
Speakons are, in every way, superior.
30A per contact 240V max

First it's the room - usually a proper vocal booth which is pretty dead, and keeps out unwanted sound.
This can be approximated with hanging duvets making a booth into a corner, but anything with early reflections will sound like your bathroom...
Next is mic choice and position.
I've used MKH416, Neumann U87, EV RE20, Rode NT1, SM7, Coles ribbons and others.
Some voices need a different mic - Mariella Frostrup had a very gravelly voice... never had to de-ess with the right mic choice.
Mic position was usually 45 degrees front/above around arm's length. Closer for cosey narration.
Some minor EQ - mostly high pass, and mild compression for most stuff, heavy for commercial radio.
A felt top lectern for scripts and talkback or cue lights
A voice artist also helped lots - Emma Freud and Lesley Judd were both 'one take wonders' - company COs and similar with no mic experience could be a pain.

I don't have a dedicated chair for practice, but I did adapt my home-office chair for music by removing the arm-rest things.
Yes, a good office type chair, without arms, is great for both practice and PC/DAW work.
I splashed out on an Orangebox Eva chair 'cos Covid / WFH and it's perfect .

MM Bongo potentiometer nuts
in Repairs and Technical
Posted · Edited by Bigguy2017
Those are 1/4" (Imperial) mini pots ??
Are they Alpha or CTS pots?
nuts are either 1/4"-32 OR 1/4"-28 ? Anyone know for sure?
The metric mini ones are M7 thread with a 9mm nut https://www.thonk.co.uk/shop/alpha-nuts-washers/
Full size pots/jacks such as CTS and Switchcraft = 3/8" x 32 thread.
Full size metric pots such as Alpha = M8 x 0.75 thread.
