I am in the process of putting my 1st rack together at the moment. I admit it I'm a tart with a rack. It's a Boschma 3U with the DTR2000 on top LMII in the middle and when it arrives a dbx166XL compressor in the lower slot. It's a case (no pun intended) of arriving with 3 boxes, 2 x Aggie GS112's, and the Boschma with all the leads tucked in. I makes lugging stuff around so much easier and the likelyness of forgetting something less. It also looks good, the No 1 reason Personally if I see musicians checking their tuning twixt numbers I see it as a part of the process of ensuring they sound good and care.

The amp in question in my 'trial' was a Markbass LMII. A tuner 'out' with no mute button and no variable % for the FX loop.

Ever jump in with both feet and then re-read the original post and think - Doh? I've just tried looping the tuner thru the FX loop and using the tuner mute (on the 1000 too) and although it attenuates the signal it doesn't kill it, sorry

Aha you need a DTR2000 One came with the postie this weeks. Great tuner. Got it for £129 delivered too.

Is Grace Jones really 60!

Very nice. [quote]Nux bars[/quote] ? Now you've got me, and I AM old. Did some googling and it seems they were introduced by Rowntrees in the 50's and never really caught on.

Aharon I'm fairly sure that Warmoth don't do thru necks. Their website is a top way to waste a couple of hours. The body is usually pre pilot drilled for the bridge. Nut come fitted too unless you don't want. [url="http://www.warmoth.com/"]http://www.warmoth.com/[/url] Showcase is a great spot. Best way to order and ask questions imo is to call them. Peter

Cheers I'll give Mark a bell. Done and ordered.

I was sure that it did but I'll be buggered if I can find them. If you tell me they do I'll keep searching, if not I'll order a pair Thanks in anticipation. Peter

Just to tie in another feedback thread into this one: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=31868&hl=greeneking"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=greeneking[/url] Peter

I've had one deal that for me went a bit 'sour'. I was the seller (well a trade actually) and the recipient a few days later highlighted a damaged neck which was duly photographed and I have no doubt that it was damaged (by adjusting the trussrod I suspect). The question is when it was damaged. The photo showed 'dirt' in the crack supposedly evidencing it was an old issue but the photos I took of the bass clearly showed no crack at all 2 days before I personally exchanged basses. So the origin of the 'dirt' and the crack was to me very suspect. I ended up buying a new neck from the US and posting it to the other guy. My point is fault's not allways clear and I don't want to drag the whole thing into the public domain with names and counter allegations. Generally it's been great but as the site gets bigger it's a statistical reality that eventually you'll bump into someone with a different idea of 'right and wrong' to yourself. I've also had two people commit to buy basses recently and then back out. In one case I was awaiting on the Paypal notification of payment before sending the packaged bass and pm'd the guy to see 'what gives'. He told me he'd forgotten to tell me he'd changed his mind! In the other case I held one for months waiting for the seller to be able to afford it and then they told me they'd bought a much more expensive bass and the deal was off! Good idea re feedback Nick! - I now have a signature
