5-4-3-2-1 - Manfred Man... My Sister had the single, I remember playing it, along with Bits and Pieces - Dave Clark Five, on an old Dansette, I can almost smell the vinyl cover and chipboard, and warm electronics..

@lidl e So, what's doing with the nut, don't forget to order one in... Is it stuck in? simple replace for a right hand one?

Been Uming and Ahing over one of the 'lil Joyo's... and when i discovered a bit of Amazon Gift Card Balance I got in their quick before the wife or kids got their hands on it! I'm after that 'Valve Break Cusp' - Burke Shelly Budgie Tone... Fancied the Golden Face to see if does the Marshall Super Bass thing... but the Orange Juice gets a lot of love and is also listed as a Bass effect on the Joyo site. Found this on YouTube... not great or that comprehensive, but only thing i could find with the Golden Face on Bass, and a direct comparison with the OJ... "Small OJ please, I'm Driving!"

Extended Horn...Headstock... top fret makers... Something Cort, Ibby-esq about it... Curbow ish... but not quite...

So expecting my Pedal Board today, DHL Fri 17th 17:28 - 18:28 and requested the txt notifications. Checked the Delivery Tracker at 19:00 Update at 18:15 Delivery Monday 20th. Not even tomorrow..

Swapping the Cap to 68nf did the trick... More 'Dark and Mysterious'... less 'On ya Fillings!'

Yep... Depends on if you have a ground foil... but i prefer a wire. Most vary on the use, and position of the capacitor, as a link between pots, which can be trouble if a pot gets loose, or on the back of the tone pot, safer...

I'd have the lot off, then Danish Oil Finish... I've used these... https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/abrasives/halfords-contour-sanding-sponges-x3-496982 https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/abrasives/halfords-contour-sanding-sponges-x2-496990

You need a nice new pedal board...

Toothpaste is also a mild abrasive...

Yeah, I think it was a lefty tele with tuners... and Jazz 38mm Nut... Asked some Q's... but Snoozed and Loosed...

Nice... I considered a lefty tele stocked neck... but it got sold ☹️

I think @MrDinsdaleis using a Stellartone Tonestyler 10B

Interesting... I've an Artec QTP to go in a 'P Bass-ish' to replace the std Tone as something a little different... https://spartanmusic.co.uk/products/artec-electronics-sound-controller-circuits?variant=26552793224

Couple of bigger ones I think this one is deeper, but some wonky pics https://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/manufacturer/product.asp?item=spider-lightweight-guitar-effects-pedal-board-505mm-with-bag-10331-6633 Large 800mm @ £20 plus postage.. https://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/manufacturer/product.asp?item=spider-lightweight-guitar-effects-pedal-board-800mm-with-bag-10334-6633

Bargain Pedal Board

After a 'lil board... A search revealed a post mentioning Flight Case Warehouse... found this. Spider Light Weight Mini w/case @ £10... plus postage which is next day, works out about £28 delivered... https://www.flightcasewarehouse.co.uk/manufacturer/product.asp?item=spider-lightweight-guitar-effects-pedal-board-500mm-with-bag-10330-6633 I Just hit 'Submit' and will update with some pics n blah blah...

@lksmks792 Tuners... prolly have'nt been round n round... pop the strings out, apply a dab of coppa slip to the worms and go round n round, forward and back... to clear any plating flashing, then wipe and go again with a dab of vaseline... If no coppa slip then just go with the vaseline, smoothed out and improved the feel of a few a sets of cheap tuners. Easy and may improve enough to stop thinking of the outlay for new tuners that are half the price of the bass....

@paul_5 Just what i wanted to hear... I'll get a 68nf ordered of the bay, then i'll only gave to faff about getting the board out and soldering the once... Son is on a mission... Fretless in to Wah (Mwah Wah?) in to a gritty BDI21... DI'd to the PA mixer...

Bump for any advice...

OK, Thanks... i'll let him know.

He has no preconceived ideas... I passed it to him all @ 12 o'clock, and suggested the same for the EQ on the Bass... and the same with his little practice amp - thanks to the generosity of @shoulderpet - Let him dial in what he wants, ask Q's and go again. Thats what it is all about... or is that just the Hokey Cokey?

Son loves it, bit of drive, He saw someone busking on guitar at Camden, and asked him about what he was using... next i get a txt asking about a CryBaby for bass... Looking to mod my Donner Wah with a cap to make it more suitable for bass freq. Keeping him motivated and encouraging he in developing his own sound for the fretless...
