ebay seller LINKY in states with stock.... they appear like a lot of recent stuff to accept input voltage of 100V-250V without any specific differences, no voltage selection, nor different fusing

Ben sold me an East pre01 for my Jazz, tidy, quick, dispatch and delivery and all good, unit in excellent condition, many thanks

according to Fender its as stated above HIGHWAY ONE™ PRECISION BASS® (2006-2011), ROSEWOOD FINGERBOARD, HONEY BLONDE Serial #: Z8104396

I haven't had a link yet either and checking on Berkleybass and bassvault I can't find it so it must not be up yet, it did say would be posted after editing so I guess that hasn't happened yet

Bought a set of pickups from Julian, well priced and packed and quickly delivered, many thanks

the recent Berkley fretless bass seminar was interesting, just about all the famous fretless guys who've been playing fretless for years (ie 3 or 4 decades) mostly use rounds and don't have significant wear problems with untreated wood boards and have maybe had a board levelled a couple of times in that time, unless your whole sound is very percussive or you slide an inordinate amount it's probably not a problem and not all rounds are rough especially now the choice is massive, but again lots of the guys used roto66s - it was almost the last question on the webinar which is available online Tony Franklin pushed it as it was the question being most asked in the chat

normally I think the EA pickup is the one with long white wire and the DG has the long black and the logos are on the bottom side of each pickup on the bridge side, logo on J pickup should be the same and wires on the bottom of the coil; I may be wrong though - I do find it a little odd that the two halves aren't clearly marked on P pickups

I picked up a 2017 434 a few weeks back; I hadn't posted up as I am a bit underwhelmed tbh, the barely finished neck doesn't feel that nice and the frets have a bit of sprout or were badly finished especially on the lower edge, and it has clearly not been played much; all the Squiers I have had have generally been better finished. it'll make a decent modding platform perhaps, we'll see mind I'm not buying 1024x pickups at that price 😲

is one of the P pickups fitted the wrong way around ? Just going by the logos on the covers, or was it made the wrong polarity hence you fitted it thus..

or do a Crimson and BURN it 😈

lighter all round 1 x 15 😲

Once again I find myself shopping at Paul's 😲 brand new set of nice price GHS strings, quickly dispatched and received, many thanks

what compression are you running ?

Gregor from Basstheworld would seem to agree, the last review of the cheap HarleyBenton amp he made that exact point

Frank bought a set of used chromes from me I think to put on the bronco; all good, thank you.

I sent a package to Ireland on Wednesday with DPD through Parcel2go, it arrived yesterday morning Package to the same Irish destination I sent out on the 13th with UPS is still at UPS LondonHub, finally cleared customs yesterday but no sign of it actually getting out of there and on its way to my customer; UPS international is a complete frustrating f-up, the only thing that works normally is the booking, giving them your money and collection, after that its a complete mess. I've got 3 packages en-route from the US at the moment, for the business, and I am not expecting it to go any better than it did back in January, if anything recent experience says it will be a significantly worse outcome. All they do is waste resources answering the phone and email, laying platitudes on you, promising resolution and delivering diddley squat, in my experience. The fact that the country manager for UPS is based in Belgium says it all.

green I think suits that best

depends where you are in the world, finding the control plate in the UK can be difficult but I'm sure @KiOgon has his sources

if you fit different value caps it does sound subtly different to VVT, if you wire it the modern way without the resistors the two tone circuits interact even with the volume completely off on one pickup so you have more variable tone controls, however finding the tone you like can be harder and remembering what you have as the mix of settings for the tone or tones you like can be a pain, I ended up putting a dot of white on the knobs for my favourite sound so I could easily dial that in. It's something like 95% neck with 20% tone mixed with 70% bridge with 50% tone, which is pretty similar to 100% neck and 40% bridge with 30% tone on VVT but a smidge fuller on the higher strings Look at the wiring diagram for the pink MIM Flea Jazz, iirc I put a '47' on the neck and a '33' cap on the bridge on mine

which colour ? has anyone tried dying Pau Ferro to get a more rosewood colour ?

have you looked at the many threads, especially on TalkBass about using something like a Zoom3 to get an acoustic bass sound from your instrument ? eg acoustic bass sounds thread
