Someone please, we need good news. Any news would be good, but hoping for the best.

Bourns makes MN-type blend in 250k and 500k. I have no info whether this is available with a switch. Could you use a tone with a switch? They are far more common.

That PanAm blue colour gives a hint... how about a simple Flight?

Many times. If you can open the cover, you can try to turn/bend the turning part and clean the track, but the easiest way is to change the pot to a new one.

(I didn't want to be exact and use degrees, just giving easy piano examples with simple numbers. But an excellent correction you have there.)

You'll need to wait, because the crazy luthier wants to reveal the complete instrument after a few weeks.

alusonic is also using Al in their bass bodies and cabs. Kramer, Travis Bean... but 1000 cans and three months, this guy is really fun!

Aluminium is only good for light metal. Maybe... Babymetal? By the way, they are touring this spring. No I am not fan, but a friend of mine is.

You may add signals in odd phases which may result in dropped frequencies and levels. Phase + out of phase = 0 20 + (-20) = 0 It may also happen that only some parts of the signal is lost: 20 + (-7) = 13 I suppose you do not have a two chanel (#5) oscilloscope? It would be easy to see possible phase errors.

6082 was not the most suitable material for string holder... now I am working with Alumec.

A tool for practising: you get instant feedback while listening your playing.

Tuner goes first only IF: 1) the bass is lo-Z ("active"), or 2) fuzz/dist/OD does not change its behaviour with lo- and hi-Z signals, or 3) the tuner is true bypass. If the first and the second are true, it's up yours where the tuner is. Any buffers in between the bass and the effect may affect the behaviour of the effect. Same may apply to compressors, too. Trial is your best friend.

I would consider it before or after Hyper Luminal. Choose the placement according to your ears.

5 A x 230 VAC = 1150 W 10 A x 230 VAC = 2300 W My choice would be 3 x 1.5 mm2 for few other reasons. 1) the cable can transfer the needed power to amps with reasonable headroom 2) when the cable gets older, some of the copper will be cut, and the upper limit will be lower 3) slightly thicker cable can withstand abuse better

So you have two options: pickups - (s/p -) vol - vol - tone - output pickups - (s/p -) blend - vol - tone - output When you add the s/p-switch to this, you just need to skip the pot not used. The switch has to have enough poles to make it happen.

My Vigier Passion II could have a twin sister with 5-strings, and a graphite neck with 19 mm string spacing, but because two out of these three specs are already non-existent, I can only dream of such a bass. (No 5-string graphite neck, no wide neck 5-strings.)

Thanks! And no worries, I still have quite a lot of work left. Bridge parts are practically done, but I am wondering whether to do a floating bridge (a shape and strings would hold it in place), or use screws.

What do you mean by this, can you open this up a bit?

That's the very tool you need for balanced tension, and odd tunings including (but not limited to*) very low, tenor, piccolo, and tuning in fifths. * Sounds like text from a bank or an insurance company.

Tension depends on strings and strings only if the scale length and the action are the same. If you try the same set of say 40-100 on a headed or headless bass, the tension is equal. If the tension changes, your tuning has changed. There can be substantial difference in tension in the same diameter string depending on the core and winding. This is up to manufacturers and their specs. Not every G-string is the same. (...and where's my coat...)

I have been using quality silicone cable (similar to Sommer, but from Gotham) since early 1990's. I rely on it, and Neutrik plugs. No need to change, but they require some washing every now and then.

Exactly. I was considering teflon, if I only find the material. If not, then some oily polymer, nylon, pp, pe... At the moment the schedule is set to February. I wish it will be this year.

As I said earlier, woodworking comes from one strange luthier, self learned man. I am just making the hardware. I did not use bearings, and I get your point, @Smanth. Some woods are oak (fretboard) and curly birch among others. The body was an ageold project that I fell in love with, and the neck, well, let's see. Thank you all for your kind words.
