  1. Selling a Plüm "Prototype" DIY pedal - Prunes & Custard clone I built. It's a FuzzDog PCB in the enclosure. Prototype, as it's one of the first two I ever made. I usually build 2 identical pedals at the same time at my first attempt, so I have better chances for at least one of them working. This time I got lucky and actually both prototypes work perfectly, and I only need one for myself As it was the start of my learning curve for painting and decorating enclosures, it's got small cosmetic mistakes like chipped corners and getting a bit too close to the drill base, etc, as shown on the photos. Works very nicely with both bass and guitar. For bass, try Drive = 3pm , Mix = 9-10am.

  2. I am not on Insta, but I don't suppose Mr Tuah apologised yet there, where his main "audience" resides? 😁
  3. What's the top left pedal? And what's the signal chain here? Any of these do the brass from the intro? 😁
  4. This keeps coming up and I have to keep remindig myself, I'm here to SELL a bass, not to buy a new one... 😅
  5. Finally! I mean all she had to do is record over 9000 songs perfectly, through multiple decades! 😁 Like one does.
  6. My 5yo has a cheapo uke she gets out every now and then, and I also share my u-bass with her. At this age she doesn't really care about fretting, but the right hand rhythm is already starting to show as she's trying to mimic the music. I guess it builds a foundation!
  7. Look I am pretty far away from being a luthier, but sounds like those frets might need a bit of grinding, they're possibly fractions of millimeters higher than they should be. I had buzzy frets around the 16th-17th where you can't really set the neck, AND I had high action. A luthier grinding them a bit fixed them completely.
  8. Scribd.com has a free trial, where you can legally download Brian's (and of course other) books in PDF. I am about to read it on the train.
  9. Just the average egoguitarist approach to mixing. Nothing new under the sun 😁 OF COURSE everyone wants to hear his crunchy tones and nothing else, that's why they're there for on the wedding!
  10. Of course I have to ask, what does the one-knob red star do?
  11. I know HOW to do it, I just don't know how to do it PROPERLY! 😁 There must be a way, someone must have learned a lesson, etc... does it even make sense on a wider neck?
  12. Has anyone ever changed the string spacing on the magical Sandber bridge? I am thinking about bringing the strings just a bit closer together, but I really don't want to mess up the rather professional factory setup, and I'm worried I wouldn't be able to undo it 😅
  13. Finally had the chance to measure my BB Lionel, ash body. 3.8kg / 8.4 lbs Was stepping on and off with it on the crappy digital scale, so might be a bit off, but ballparkwise should be good, I measured multiple times
  14. Don't quote me on THIS as I only have 2nd hand experience and I myself have never used international options (only some of my buds), but for that purpose there should be other similar solutions that are also instant and save you more money on fees & conversions. Also, I am going crazy offtopic here, sorry 😅 Scammy conversion fees trigger me.
  15. I bought some b-stock Novation / Focusrite stuff before, no issues, good prices. I also found a Startouch ABY pedal for like £60, amazing catch! But there were a couple years ago, nowdays I could never see a decently priced pedal there whenever I checked.
  16. The very business model of PP is to scam out some sizeable pocket change from all parties involved. Google "Honey browser extension scandal", owned by PP... literally everyone involved lost money, except PP. Sorry, I am a very passionate PP hater. 😁
  17. That's a pretty bad USD conversion rate, be careful if you ever spend more in another currency with that card! I got only £34.45 deducted, more than 10% difference...
  18. Great news! See you guys there!
  19. Lovely pedal. I'm almost sure the cracking can be sorted by applying some Specialist WD40 Contact Cleaner at the pot bases (NOT the regular kind of WD40 of course!). GLWTS!
  20. No, no, I am serious, I swear! I am in the GAS abstinence thread now and everything! It... needs... to stop...
  21. Alright, it's almost final! The Notaklon will likely be soon replaced by a 4th DIY pedal in a 1590B enclosure, a 3-band Rat. I built one for friend and I like it SO much better than the Klon clone! I am also a "compressor goes last" offender. The multiband BC-1X just cleans up the various digital volume swings from the C4, the envelope and the Tera Echo so nicely.
  22. remember that (not sure if real) story where some guy got an actual octopus delivered by Tesco, as they did not have the specific brand of bread the customer asked for? 😁
  23. I'd check these: https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/product/klbm3 https://www.rapidonline.com/catalogue/search?Query=lumberg&Size=60 https://www.bitsboxuk.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=dc+socket
  24. Is there a video about the sound? I also made myself a Prunes & Custard, would love to compare 😁
