    The only benefit I gained by fitting a high mass bridge was that I had a spare bridge left over for my bitsa build 😂 I guess you could argue the physics all day long but subjectively it makes sod all difference IMHO.

    +1 for the Unitune. Nice clear screen. Around £20ish.

    Is it The Archers theme tune 😉

    You might be better posting this in Guitar Chat: https://www.guitarchat.co.uk

    I’ve been pondering this news for the past half hour or so trying to think what to say, but it really is too sad for words. Just be strong for her family. 😔

    Loving this and happy to discover it’s on Apple Music too 😎

    No you can’t go Bluetooth for the headphones, they have to be wired. When I’ve tried Bluetooth headphones in the past (with a dongle in my Zoom) the latency makes it unusable. I’d love a Waza Air - one day may be. 😉

    I started with the Vox, then got a Zoom B1-4, which is great but not very spontaneous to set up and use, so I found myself using the Vox more because of its convenience. Now I’ve got the NUX I think it’s the perfect compromise. Convenience beyond the Vox due to being rechargeable and having Bluetooth aux in but still relatively capable with effects, amp sims and a few more drum patterns. I like the idea of taking it to a bass shop to test stuff relatively privately too. I think I’ll be using it a lot. 😀

    Exactly

    I wonder what sort of protection he’s expecting the hard hat to provide?

    The problem with owning a fine vintage bass as an investment is that to realise the benefit of any gain in value you have to sell the thing. Who would be happy to do that? 🙁

    In a similar vein, I watched this yesterday. 15 years old. It’s enough to make you sick…

    My NUX MP-2 Mighty Plug arrived today. When I came home from work just now, within a couple of minutes I’d opened it, plugged it in, plugged my headphones in, turned it on and WOW! Immediately impressive; good level, very quiet noise-wise and the initial setting had reverb on which sounded clear and clean. My first impression is that it’s very good and much better than the Vox; virtually noiseless in comparison. Now I need to get the app and figure out all settings and features. So far, so good. I’m very happy.

    I bet people who bought Fullerton reissues in the early 80s are expecting them to appreciate strongly over the next couple of decades. I’d love to buy one if I could find the right one. I wonder what today’s equivalent of a future Fullerton would be?

    I just ordered a Nux. It should be arriving today.

    Has anyone tried the Fender Mustang headphone amp (for guitar) with a bass?
  17. Velarian
    This thread has got me thinking about the short-comings of The Vox headphone Amp so I’ve just pulled the trigger on the NUX MP2 Mighty Plug from Amazon. It will be delivered tomorrow. 🙂
  18. Velarian
    I’ll send you a PM shortly.

    Hey Paul, I have an Alesis keyboard which came with a downloadable software bundle which I’ve not used and don’t need as I have Logic. If you want I can dig out the URL and serial number and send it you if you want.

    Just use a Sharpie. That’s what the best luthiers out there do. 😂

    Interesting that it’s not loud enough on the highest setting. I have mine on the middle setting all the time and it’s plenty, the green level is too much. This is just with P-Bass pickups of varying types/ages. The hiss is very pronounced and I just try and ignore it. for sure there are better products out there.
  22. Velarian
    The Vox headphone amp has three output level settings. When you press and hold the power button to turn it on, it will return to the previously used level. Pressing the button again will cycle through each level and the LED will change colour, red for the lowest output level, amber for the middle setting and green for the highest output. This may be why you’re not getting enough volume? You’re right that it’s quite noisy, I just roll of the tone as I don’t mind the reduced top end. Another headphone amp I came across recently is the NUX MP2 Mighty Plug which, from what I can gather is a much better product. I’ve not tried it I think other BCers have and might be able to share their experience.

    It’s nice, but the wrong colour for me I’m afraid. BTW what’s the difference between the 414 and the 350? Is it just the reverse P pickup on the 350 and does that make much difference compared to the normal p arrangement?
  24. Velarian
    I think there may be a difference between Squier and Fender neck sizes. I had a MIM Fender licenced neck but it was a couple of mm too wide to fit a Squier neck pocket. I guess they do this to make it harder to turn Squiers into Fenders just by swapping out the neck without doing some adjustment work.
  25. Velarian
    It’s got a BIN price of £220 and it seems like a lot of bass for the money, but from what I can gather they can range from £160ish up to £220 tops. I might just put a speculative bid in for it. Anyone got any suggestions on its value?
