I made the decision to just Velcro the muff to the board. I wasn’t thrilled to do it and tried to do it as neatly as possible, but paint came off the pedal when I took it to practice in a literal silk bag. I figure it’s safer in a penguin huddle of pedals around it in a static position. I also bought it to play it! thanks for all the advice though!

Finally rebuilt the board in a way I’m happy with (for now). It’s used for both bass and guitar so I had to think about pedals that sound great for either.

If I figure out a mounting solution it's going to be a very small board as well. At worst, its a good counterweight to the guitarist's ego on the other side of the stage.

Will do, the one I have is not dissimilar to the one you had in terms of condition. Feet and door. I’ll have a look at your recommendations. I’ve been through a lot of the muff variants over the years (pun NOT intended). I like the Ram’s Head reissue fuzz, different sound but sounds great. The Valco KGB sounds worth a shot, I’ll have a look at that. Thanks!

Great advice! I’ll have a look at doing something like this, hopefully won’t lose much paint in the process. They are surprisingly fragile for something so heavy. Nothing I’ve tried sounds like it though!

It’s the ridged box with the plastic battery door and the 4 screws.

It’s a great ideal but this pedal doesn’t have screws in the base. It’s a right awkward box. Thanks for the suggestion though!

Hello Team, I was wondering if anyone had a bright idea to attach an EHX Green Russian Big Muff V7 (The big old russian boy) to a pedalboard. I was lucky enough to get it without too much paint damage and feel like velcro would rip chunks out the paint, especially as I need to get under it to change the battery every so often. Cable ties would cause similar damage and mounting plates aren't great because the screws are on the front and back side respectively. Any advice appreciated!

My Fender Adam Clayton Jazz bass is one I love and use regularly. His name on the back of the headstock had no bearing on the purchase but with a couple of modifications (stacked knobs, d-tuner, pick guard) I’ve got a 60s Jazz bass with a very comfy neck shape.

I switched a couple of years ago to mainly using short scales due to shoulder/elbow issues. I find my Musicman Stingray Short Scale to have all the sounds I want and it really helps me enjoy playing for around twice as long as my full scale jazz bass.

Hi everyone! Just to let you all know the surgery seems to have been successful and I’m home now. Thank you for all the kind words, definitely why it’s my favorite community online!

I would've liked more notice too, I got a call late last night because there was a cancellation. It wasn't meant to happen for at least another two months! Thanks everyone for the feedback, Nervous times ahead!

So I’m getting surgery in a few days on the nerves in my right arm. Do I just tell the band I’m out for a few months? Or try and play bass lines on a keyboard like an 80s band? Any other suggestions for how to feel musical for the next month or two?
