  1. New pots can make a difference, recently I've rewired my guitarists les paul and it sounds so much better, I'm no expert but when I saw the inside of the guitar's cavity I thought it was the worst piece of work I ever saw!
  2. [quote name='The Twickerman' post='871251' date='Jun 18 2010, 10:33 PM']Maybe so - but 5 jacks, two LEDs, one PSU socket, one 3PDT, one 4PDT, one DP3T and one DPDT....[/quote] And then you have this bloke [url="http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=83321.0"]http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/inde...p?topic=83321.0[/url]
  3. [quote name='escholl' post='871437' date='Jun 19 2010, 02:44 AM']Jack, where did you happen to get the knobs on the fuzz from? I've been looking (admittedly, not very hard) for something similar.[/quote] I got them from here [url="http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php/info/p1158_Aluminium-rippled-knob-black-13mm.html"]http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php/i...black-13mm.html[/url] altough they are a bit expensive I think they look absolutely cool! [quote name='Al Heeley' post='871492' date='Jun 19 2010, 08:47 AM']Here's my cheeky little fuzz factory project - just waiting for the mini pots from Small Bear US - if anyone knows a closer retailer I'd love to know. Little home drawn/etched pcb and I had to copy the old FF graphics as they are so funky.[/quote] Mini pots here Al [url="http://www.musikding.de/index.php/cat/c228_Alpha-Potentiometer-9mm.html"]http://www.musikding.de/index.php/cat/c228...ometer-9mm.html[/url], also might be worth asking that bloke from doctortweek about getting them in?
  4. cheers Al, next I'm going to try and fit a fuzz factory in A size enclosure and I'm also going to try new paint and different decals. I've also decide to use the mini Alpha pots which are excellent to work with! Very involving this hobby
  5. that's a B size you got there I think, twice as big as A
  6. as note, be carefull with those enclosures because there's not much you can fit in there tbh!
  7. [quote name='The Twickerman' post='871099' date='Jun 18 2010, 08:21 PM']Very [b]very[/b] nice. Where do you get the enclosures?[/quote] I got them from musikding.de but they don't sell them anymore but now you can get them here [url="http://www.banzaimusic.com/Eddystone-enclosure-A.html"]http://www.banzaimusic.com/Eddystone-enclosure-A.html[/url]
  8. My current setup [attachment=52562:IMG_0298.JPG]
  9. All sorted now Completely GASless
  10. My latest efforts, no gutshots because I forgot to take them and the effects are with their new owner now, fuzz face and signal booster both in A size enclosures. [attachment=52560:IMG_0293.JPG]
  11. [quote name='Silent Fly' post='871064' date='Jun 18 2010, 07:26 PM']I am the last person that wants to comments other people work but I am genuinely curious about it. Just to be sure I understand... ~£300 for this? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=27485"][/url][/quote] +100000000000
  12. Those pups are barking mad, I f*cking love them Someone's going to get a good deal! Have a bump on me
  13. Bought a gator rack from Chris, top bloke to deal with!
  14. Hello chaps, I have recently bought a shallow rack case so this is not needed anymore, good quality case in mint condition. Price £40 posted I'll upload the photos if needed. Cheers Jack
  15. [quote name='escholl' post='864885' date='Jun 12 2010, 04:43 AM']Given how expensive it is, there's hardly anything in it![/quote] [url="http://www.andertons.co.uk/electric-guitar-fx/pid10303/cid579/jim-dunlop-fuzz-face-pedal.asp?utm_source=googlebase&utm_medium=pricecomp&utm_campaign=GoogleShopping"]http://www.andertons.co.uk/electric-guitar...=GoogleShopping[/url] - with thier volume of purchasing there's maybe £15 worth of parts, tidy profit margin I'd say
  16. If you decide to go for fretted Ibanez make sure you can adapt to the curved pickups as it is slightly different feel and playability!
  17. [quote name='Sarah5string' post='863998' date='Jun 11 2010, 08:38 AM']After speaking to my luthier and mentioning my GAS for a fretless he's recommended getting an Ibanez (fretted) as the build quality is decent, and taking it to him to be fretted as it'd work out a fraction of the cost, plus the choice of fretless basses out there is more limited. I've been eyeing up ibanez basses for a while so him saying that has only compounded my GAS. My question is can anyone recommend one? Would the SRs be ok to defret? I've no experience of defretting myself so not sure if there's anything in particular you need to be aware of...[/quote] Well, knowing your luthier he will do a good job of defretting Ibanez He has done this for me and it's a peach to play! Any model will do as ling as you like the feel of it
  18. Tom, maybe you can list all the things that need volunteers and I'm sure there will be some interest! Do it in the first post so people don't have to scroll through 14 pages;)
  19. right mine is fine! I just provided a pic for reference Don't make me all scared now!
  20. [url="http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php/info/p975_A-B-C-Switch.html/XTCsid/39234f691992d87833cb450a8ffe5743"]http://www.musikding.de/product_info.php/i...3cb450a8ffe5743[/url] and add 3 volume pots, sorted
  21. [quote name='Mr. Foxen' post='860501' date='Jun 7 2010, 11:04 PM']That says "For 120v 60Hz only". Not super encouraging pic.[/quote] Before you get me running scared I think it means that the transformer is putting out 120V so the primary should be able to accept any voltage
  22. So to answer the OP properly, No don't lend your gear to anyone, wherever I've played there was a backline provided by the venue and if their wasn't then I would ask if the bass can go through the PA if the answer was yes then I would take nothing but my bass and Boss GT10B. IF the bass can't go through the PA I would take my full rig and no one would be able to use it, you don't have a rig then you don't have a gig, simple as. All the people that say young band can't have gear for whatever reasons, that is bollocks. Look here : [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/78474"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/78474[/url] [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/b-150/12553"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/b-150/12553[/url] [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/84366"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/84366[/url] Any of those above is below a £100 new, weights around 10kg so it's easy one hand carry, can be taken on public transport or will fit on your knees in the car. Each one of the ''teenage'' musicians I saw had come to the gig with some sort of ''groupie wannabe'' attached to him so get her to carry this stuff, make her usefull once. When I started out years ago I had a sh*tty little 15 watt amp made by Laboga which cost me quite a bit but I was smart enough to save up and get it within 2 months of getting a bass, afterwards when my parents saw that I was actually playing and having interest in it they bought me a better combo. It's really annoying to see people defending ''young bands'' with no gear. If you look at them they probably are all dressed in nice branded clothes, have the latest mobile phones, brand new iPod etc so if they would spend their money where it should be the problem is gone. They however choose to be ignorant and expect to trun up and have everything ready for them. I had a situation once when ''semi-pro'' bloke came up to me and asked if he could use my rig because the backline provided was some little Trace Elliot 20 watt combo, I said that he can use my rig if he buys it off me, otherwise feck off and buy your own stuff. My girlfriend has maxed out her credit card for my amp because I had suddenly became ampless and had a gig coming up so I owe it to her to look after this gear more than anything else. Each one of us spent hundreds if not thousands of pounds on their rig and not only was that gear costing us a lot of sacrifice it in many cases has to also be justified to the second half and I wouldn't like to explain to my missus that my gear is fooked and I have to replace it because I've lent it to someone who didn't give a damn about it. Lending Gear = NO, Letting someone have a quick play to see how it sounds = MAYBE Touching my gear or playing through it without asking first = ME in BERSERK MODE
  23. I have this for gigs where there's a kitshare - [url="http://www.sonicftp.com/news/images/s-namm05_crate500.jpg"]http://www.sonicftp.com/news/images/s-namm05_crate500.jpg[/url] They want an amp and that's what I bring!
  24. maybe few laydeeez could get involved, mine is useless with anything that involves cooking
