Haven't built mine yet, but now have everything I need so hoping to grab a bit of time this weekend. My Schroeder cab is pretty much 60cm x 40cm so going to build a platform pretty much this size. Will post some pics when I get started.

Hi Tony As you already know, I have the J-Retro deluxe in my Sei and Shuker and it's a great preamp. The way John has wired it for me is the active/passive switch is now used for the LED's and the passive tone control has a pull switch. So I pull the passive tone control, the bass goes into passive-mode and the passive tone control works. He made it so that the passive tone control doesn't work in active mode (my choice) as I thought the 3-band EQ was more than enough when active. Maybe John could wire the pickup selector switch for series/parallel and hardwire both pickups on when playing in passive? I love it when you say you want a simple circuit (no mid freq control) ... all you need is .... vol / blend / 3-band EQ / series&parallel / LED's .... Good luck with the search Stephen

Does it have to be new? I'm thinking of letting my Sei Jazz 5 go for £1500 or as close to ?

Superb, some pictures would be great. The Studiospares website seems to have all the parts used in their desciption of the product, so hopefully that will work fine. First stop is a piece of MDF, or chipboard and the carpet store !!!

Well folks, not long to Christmas (!) and our party run means playing gigs on a boomy, wooden floor for 7 or 8 gigs this December. Rather than shell out £70+ on a Gramma pad big enough for a 4x10 I wondered if I should try to make my own. I reckon I could do it for at least half that price. Here's my shopping list... - Auralex Platfoam - one strip - £11'ish - MDF board, or chipboard - £3'ish - Carpet covering - £3'ish - EVO Stick £3'ish - 2 x 1ft acoustic wedges - £10'ish A little bit of time & effort and hey presto! I think I'd have some sort of Gramma Pad style thingy .... So, before I begin can anyone think of why this won't work ? Happy to make a build diary to see how it all goes, although not promising miracles.

I've got to say it Dave, you need to bite the bullet and give Mr Shuker a call ....

Give us a shout when you come to sell the P5, cheers.

The P5 might even belong to someone else by then as im going to sell it as soon as i sort out my DJ5. Ive never even played a fretless and im getting jealous lol.[/quote]

That would be a great idea

Apologies to all, yes I checked and it was a swap I offered. I will post in the Wanted section for one, and offer my Zoom unit in the for sale section. After checking the Wanted section to see if anyone's after one (obviously) !!!

I know Bump's are always going to happen on a Forum but behind the scenes it just uses diskspace, resources etc. People should rely on "search" more, especially Sale & Wanted sections. Popular forum topics will always be bumped as people reply.
