Extend your search beyond music sites - for example a fairly quick search for "fishing box" or "fishing bag" brings up all sorts of usefully sized things

Recommend Me A Fat Jazz Bass Bridge Pickup
uncle psychosis replied to Chewie's topic in Bass Guitars
I really like DiMarzio Area J pickups. -
Discovered his channel recently, and Now I'm reeling from the revelation that "...and out come the wolves" wasn't a P bass - it was a Fender Longhorn Jazz 😮

***SOLD*** I bought this fairly recently from the very lovely Mr @sPiKi but my wife's car has died, I have too much music gear, and after twenty years of playing J basses its very hard to give anything else a fair shot. This Reverend Mercalli 4 is really high quality -- a lovely roasted maple, satin finish neck, absolutely rock solid bridge, huge sounding pickups. But needs must. Its also really light (3.65 kg!) which is an added bonus. Bass is in excellent playing condition, there is some buckle rash on the back (see pics) but nothing that stops this being an awesome instrument. I've got the original box it came in so I can post this anywhere to mainland UK for £555 ***SOLD*** or you can come round to my gaff (Burntisland, Fife) and I'll make you a cuppa whilst you try it out. Alternatively can meet in Haymarket (Edinburgh) during the working week.

Yeah. I *think* what I need to do is to jumper the two toggle switches to rule the two toggles out. If I can get it to sound "correct" like that then I might be able to brave trying to get those switches out --- though it will be a gigantic PITA.
-
yeah its definitely not working correctly. One of the settings for the Range basically either produces nothing, or it produces noise. And the hi-lo switch is doing something, but I'm not convinced its doing what it is meant to. I don't know if I can face debugging this. The fact that it partially works means that its going to be extremely hard to work out what is wrong 😢
-
Of course my troubleshooting isn't being helped by there being no easy way to work out which way to set the toggles and rotary to match the original!
-
Thanks, Ped. I definitely think there is something wrong with the Range toggle, but I'm not sure if it's just that analog filters are weird...
-
Its Vactrols. I'm not sure which switch is which - one of my only complaints about Fuzzdog is that he never explains the controls beyond the labels... Here's the layout https://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/MooTron.pdf I'm now pretty confident that the hi/lo switch is working. It definitely does something! I think I need to try plugging in a bass rather than my telecaster to try out the range switch.

Hey folks I have built myself a Mutron III (well, almost --- its is a Fuzzdog bulild that is a combination of elements of Madbean’s updated circuits, the Naughty Fish and the Nautilus). It has the following controls: Master Volume (pot) Input Gain (pot) Peak (pot) Sweep (pot) Range (two-way toggle) Hi-Lo (two-way toggle) LowPass-BandPass-HighPass (three-way selector) I am trying to check that the pedal is fully functional but I need some help understanding the controls and the expected behaviour to debug it --- I'm not very experienced with filter effects. Thw switching is all good and I am able to get some nice filter sounds. But... What I'm least sure about is the operation of the Range and Hi-Lo toggle switches. Here's my "problems": In one of the two 'Range' positions I don't seem to get any filter effect at all. The Hi-Lo toggle switch seems to be very subtle. So, can anyone explain to me like I'm five... 1) what these two controls are meant to do 2) an idiot's guide to checking they're setup right (fundamentally I'm wondering if things aren't happening because my instrument has too low an output, or if I've picked silly settings, etc).

Two awesome pedals for sale... Please note that I can generally only post things on Fridays but will endeavour to do better than that. ThorpyFX Camoflange V1. Boxed and in good condition. See velcro on the bottom. This is an absolutely immense analogue flanger. £160 posted ***sold*** Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/camoflange-MY0wYJf Gojira FX Mr Sparkle Drive (TS808 with bass boost switch and symetrical/asymetrical clipping switch). Nice graphics and awesome Mr Sparkle knobs. Comes with a nice big Mr Sparkle tin to keep it in as well. £70 posted Pics here: https://imgur.com/a/mr-sparkle-xBxjq4S Would consider trades for a decent bass preamp, something I can use direct-to-desk -
Yet another new Fender Artist Series Signature...
uncle psychosis replied to basshead56's topic in Bass Guitars
I would personally argue that Blink are not quite as big as Green Day, but in terms of star power and fame you have to remember that unlike Mike Dirnt, Mark Hoppus is the front man / singer / face of Blink 182. Personally I think the bass looks great but too pricey for my blood. If it was a few hundred cheaper I'd probably get one. -
Not that I know of. I've always assumed its a variant of the Distortron/Box of Rock but 1) thats an assumption and 2) I don't think there's many clones of those either. There is a Pedalpcb board for it, so you could build your own. Musikding sell kits if you wanted. The enclosure is irritating, but I don't mind too much because I use so few effects on bass anyway - so putting a "board" together isn't an issue.

No its an electra VS4, I think one of the earlier ones that are Fender shaped
-
The bridge in the manual isn't the same as mine, that's why I'm asking!
