For pickups I’d investigate Nordstrand. Never heard one of their pups I don’t like. Loads of size options, voicing options and single/bucking options.

@dmccombe7 - +1 on the gauge thing from me. I moved to heavier D and G strings on my fivers and I’ve found the same, noticeable improvement to balance of sound across the board

I don’t know, but I’ll test! It’s at least 100m I reckon.

Good gig tonight with 4 Play (kill me, not my band etc). Singer only had one brandy and coke and it showed… way less cluck ups. Need to sort the guitard’s pedalboard and amp coz the volume was all over the place. I cranked the GK at the end and I NEVER turn up after soundcheck, EVER. Not a great sound - I’m gonna bring my personal vocal mon for an exclusive Aux 2 mix next time. But: played well overall and the pub (Blue Bell, Werrington near Peterborough) is a proper music venue. Lovely people, great room, excellent beers, crowd there for the music. Lots of compliments including for my playing AND tone (rightly so, Moley’s good tonight isn’t he?). So chuffed with that!

They are great. I’ve set my home (obvs) and my guitar repair man’s workshop as “safe” places otherwise I get told if I leave her behind. She’s back home now, resting…

Just a note on battery life… I’ve just changed it (was in the case, stopped being lazy and put it in the bass today after changing it) and I reckon that’s 2.5 years on one CR2032 battery. Very good!

Old thread, but good work @dmdavies - newly installed in Betsy and another four ordered for other gear!

I’m also very phaser-y atm. In my case the SA Mercury’s 12 stage sound. As noted, excellent with a bit of grit. But with or without it’s so big it sounds like a plane taking off. Excellent.

Just opened Basschat on safari iPhone today and got a German cookie banner! I confirmed my Verstanding ok though!

I LOVE the purple 5… gonna have a watch/listen of the YT clips later… very nice

Excellent work here. These Rockboards are so nicely designed… much more space underneath than my Pedaltrain JR. I’d be able to sling my HPF under one of those and fit an EQ in its place on top of the board. Hmmm

@Merton - brilliant!! Good work… I checked out her stuff when you joined up, she’s great! Nice gig to land

@Bassman68 has called it right here, I think. Something lovely about the big footprint EHX muffs, and that one’s a killer! Why did I sell mine?!?

Bought a Bass Station DI box from Andy. All good, no issues, great piece of kit! Thanks!!! Colin

I’m just going to hijack so I can kick myself in public. Idiot. LOOK at it. And the sound!! Suhr pups and preamp.

Good call. I get why Fender dropped downsized bodies after the old 90s Deluxe series (coz most folks just want vanilla P or J if it’s got a Fender logo) but they were sweet. I traded this one, because I’m a d*** - let’s compare!

I think we may need moderators to weigh in here. This is suspect behaviour at best, really!

That’s a Bongo into an Ashdown into a Vanderkley, right? Yeah, that’ll cut through the mix. Love that red!

It was ok! First one since 17th June with 4 Play (🙈). Black Bull, Kirton. Landlady wants us back next year. Crowd seemed happy enough, but some rust showing in places - the guitarist doesn’t play in other bands whereas the rest of us are out most weekends with other bands and it shows. But overall, ok! Some sort of pub slash caravan site next. Hellooooo Holbeach Hurn! Beer and nuts time now 👏🏻

Niche, but: any Source Audio One series + Neuro hub users looking for shorter TRRS cables, these 15cm jobbies work fine: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232137198256?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=KdbkegI-THW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=XkJqNoezT9i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Not as flexible as the SA supplied cables, but waaaaay shorter!

Pedal power is a good shout: any pedals in the mix, and are they all powered with isolated outlets? I was fine using daisy chained power until one day I wasn’t! Suggestion for a socket tester is great advice. I always check sockets somewhere new, and I ALWAYS use my own plug in breakers.

I’ve said before but if money/board space no option then I’d compress at the front (when needed) and limit at the end (all the time). In the absence of that I’m very much end of chain for comp: for me I use it around 4:1 on the worst peaks and that helps both dry and effected sounds. If your effects chuck out a lot of low freqs, a high pass filter can really help save speakers and give FOH a more palatable signal!

Ah thanks! I need to visit b&q anyway, I’ll pick up a bottle!
