Just ordered the Waza-Air Bass from Scan along with @Bunion's excellent case recommendation from Amazon.

You won’t be disappointed, two great uses for it on top of the bass practice aspect, lay-by/service station meetings, selling and buying it’s great for a quick noodle, I also use it on my electronic drums for wireless practice and a click track 😄

That's my first bass!

Where’s my pickup surrounds! 😂🤣

Have you tried just reseating the valve? 
Sometimes just a bit of a wiggle or pull the plug and push back in can clear corrosion

12AX7s are not all the same. If you have a higher gain version, it will increase the likelihood of overdriving. I swapped the 12AX7 in one of my heads for a lower gain version because it got dirty too quickly, with only a small increase in gain. A lower gain version gave a more gradual transition into overdrive.

Try changing the 12AX7 for a 12AT7 they put out less gain so give you more clean headroom I have one in slot 1 of my Handbox WB 100

I got to play the fretted version in 1978, it belonged to a friend. Here it is playing through a Sunn Concert bass amp and Cerwin Vega B36MF.

 

No foh and recorded in a radio cassette at the back of the hall. It was a very nice bass at the time, compared to my P bass. 

They do sound unique 

That’s hare today but might be gone tomorrow!! 

Could be the tube on its way out, do you have a spare?

You're up against OCD and pedantry here, fella. Because not in the lyrics of the song, it wasnt!

 

 

Ahh the old make a name rhyme to fit in a song 😄

try this from .50 seconds 

Trujillo owns the bass but handed it to the family and has stated numerous times any decisions involving the bass will be made by the family.

In essence he is a silent partner.

He stepped in when the family were caught up in legal battles and provided the money to settle. 

Alas just got a bunch of adverts I couldn’t skip past

was called Snork

I can’t not say it, it was ‘Snorky’ my ocd kicked in 😄

my name is purely a matter of the first name that was accepted that wasn’t taken! 

This popped up in a thread on the fleabay a few days ago.

I put it on watch and deliberated while doing some research. 

It’s a 70’s model 450B fretless.

Going through many old forums it looked to have its original Schaller tuners

original engraved picks ups (mighty mites?)

and seemed in relatively good nick throughout the finish, knobs, switches and covers.

there’s some marks but it is 40+ years old.

I took a punt when no other bids dropped and lo and behold it arrived a few days later in a decent box 

I had a quick noodle and it sounds great, the pickup heights were all over the place but are sorted now and the action seemed a little high but I stripped the neck and there it was, the shim from thick tape plus it seems someone used blobs of something that set to lift the neck. 
I’ve removed it and the action is fine and it’s playing lovely. 

I’ll strip it properly the weekend and give it s good clean and service but my punt paid off and apart from having to replace the wooden pickup surrounds (we have a 3d printing shop at work) 

I’m well chuffed

2nd time dealing with Gavin, another successful transaction. 
 

cheers 🍻 

I did find this, and he does say he doesn’t have to do anything on the pedal but at about 50s in he goes into the menu to check the settings. 
worth a try?

Trying to connect my Boss Core to a windows machine and failing, I began to wonder if the quality of usb cable might have any significance. 

I'll buy a new one I thought. But how the hell can I tell a quality cable from a crap one?

Any ideas?

Do you have the correct drivers installed for the DAW you’re using?

Wtf does "potentially" fretless mean? 

I took it as potentially a 450B

It looks quite a nice Kramer, though with some small issues and it's fretless; I'd say the price seems a bit high.

I've got an interesting variation on these - they did a limited run where they set someone loose with a hacksaw at the factory...

Is that a Stagemaster? 

How thankful it’s a 5,  it’s beautiful
