Glad you're feeling better Phil!

Jeez what an abomination! Noticed at the bottom of the page that the Nate Mendel P is over £1,400 and a JMJ Mustang is almost £1,300 new 😮

Also, there should be a layout with the kit that gives you the location of each component and it’s orientation if it’s polarised. Judging by the questions you’re asking I’d definitely have a read of Fuzzdog’s pedal building guide before you start. Some of it only applies to the kits they sell but there’s loads of good info on the basics that will help you a lot. Your can find it at… http://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/GeneralBuildGuide.pdf

I’m going one step further. Currently investing in my future pedal endeavours by planting trees for carbon, mining ore for metal and have a couple of silicon and germanium saplings ready for planting out - It’s the only way you’ll get the authentic tone 🤪

Ooooh nice, I’ll be watching with interest as I was looking at the vong filterung a few weeks ago. Is that the same kit or a different one?

The overhang of the racks on those cabs is making me twitch 😆

More stable if they’re laid flat maybe?

According to the listing it sounds like this bass.

Not necessarily, if you’ve got a couple of power sockets within easy reach of your pedal board you can plug the mains powered pedal into that and your pedal board supply to the other one. Or just do what I do and use a 4 way extension cable to sit behind the board and power both the pedal and board from that keeping the leads nice and short. I’ve got a T Rex power supply for most pedals and a separate supply for the Markbass Compressor as that has specific power requirements.

That is quite the video, think a few chemicals might have been ingested during the making of that 😂

Yes there's no battery option, the pedal is powered by a built in cable that plugs directly into a plug socket so is being powered by the mains voltage. The pedal will have some voltage protection/reduction such as a step down transformer built into the circuit. I think mains powered pedals are normally built that way due to specific voltage requirements or they need more current than most power supplies can offer.

Ah damn, really sorry to hear this, Nick seemed an absolutely lovely guy. RIP dude 😔

One of my favourite instrumental tracks ever, a Serge Gainsboroug title track from the Cannabis soundtrack. Also love this song by the Beastie Boys 1994 record Ill Communication which was basically the soundtrack of my teens. I quite often play along to this with a nice fat fuzz tone.

The sound of Joe’s bass on Waiting Room is right up there for me, it’s perfect.

Bought Colin’s programmable Sansamp Bass DI. Very well packaged, super fast delivery and in amazing condition. A top guy to boot as well, what more could anyone want 😊

I was thinking that would be a good idea Phil, especially as a couple of them are only available as low res images

It’s weird as playing bass/music is my favourite hobby and I only have 1 bass which I obviously use for everything. I do like other kit, and do look at other basses with an eye to getting another one maybe a stingray or jazz but I know in reality I don’t need it and I’m happy with my precision. I also play club cricket and have literally gone through more bats than I care to think about, sometimes several a season. What that all means I have no idea 😂

I can help if needed Phil, have done a fair bit of technical drawing over the years.

Should have just bitten your lip and closed your eyes… 😉

That’s both hilarious and really sad at the same time. I’m imagining him breathing away like some sort of Davros/Darth Vader hybrid whilst playing!!

From reading this thread it’s pretty obvious most singers are completely delusional 😂

Some things are just meant to be 😊
