I’ve just taken delivery of some WBC patch cables using the Eminence ‘Tiny’ connector, very impressed so far. Not the cheapest, but perfectly reasonable for the quality I think. Si

Oooo exciting!! ❤️ Let me know what you think. They’re an awesome family run company, so it’s an ethical purchase too! Lovely people! Si

This was the latest update from Facebook. Still available but on Tom’s timeline….so as I mentioned, a little tough to get hold of at the mo. Si

If you or anyone you know has some soldering ability, you can't go wrong with the Fuzzdog Big Fluffy Pie: https://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/product/bassblendmuff - 1590B (so same size as the EHX) - Mids control (optional) - Clean Blend I believe they'll do it prebuilt too, which takes it to about the same price as a new EHX Green Russian. Other than that, the Wren & Cuff Tall Font is probably a decent bet, twice the price though. There's obviously a billion different Muff variants available, it's somewhat option paralysis. It's a shame it's not easy to get hold of a Cog Tarkin....THAT would be your first port of call really. That or a Fuzzrocious Grey Stache (love this one at Joes Pedals, decent price: https://joespedals.com/collections/pedals/products/grey-stache-standard) Si

Absolutely of course!! A ROUND FOR EVERYONE!! Si

Oh and a pint owed to @Doctor J as well haha. Si

Ok......I owe you a pint! 😆 All fixed! Thanks for all the help everyone! Basschat strikes again! Cheers Si

Brill, thanks for the clarification! Going to try it in a bit! Si

Paging @Andyjr1515 and @Doctor J 😅

So purely for my own understanding......the wiring looks to be 'correct' when going by this generic layout I found via the Googulz: If I swap the two cables as mentioned, isn't that just sending the Jazz p'up live to ground? Or is there a suggestion that the Jazz wire colours aren't correct (ie colour for live, black for ground). Again, purely for me to try and do some learning. Cheers Si

It has somewhat made me question my ‘tech’ decisions….regarding electronics in any case. Setups have always been fine. Si

Thanks, will give that a go today! Cheers Si

How does this look in relation to your diagnosis? @Doctor J @Andyjr1515 Thanks very much Si

In a PM: ”Would you take half of what you’ve advertised it for?” Si

Yeah the Regal sounds great to my ears! I haven’t compared it to my actual Noble yet, but think it will compare favourably. Si

My Lakland bass is a straight-up passive P/J, nothing fancy. It was working perfectly, both pickups on full, sounded lovely, nothing weird. Then I took it to a tech who, for reasons that are boring, removed the pickups and then had to refit them. However, now, when both pickups are on full, they are horribly out of phase, thin and weedy sounding. I have to slightly back one of them off to get them working properly again. I’ll post a pic of the cavity tomorrow, but any immediate thoughts why this might have started happening after the refit? Wired in a particular (wrong?) way? Cheers Si

The EBS seem to be the way to go, has anyone compared them to the Donner ones? Si

MXR Bass Chorus all the way for me….also includes a bonus Flanger effect too. Si

I think basically my Lakland can use Long Scale fine (like the White Nylons it currently has), so that’s fine. Not so with my Elrick unfortunately, it has a zero fret which means that it needs Extra Long Scale, slightly annoying but meh. Si

Cool, thanks very much. Si

Do you find that the 34” sets fit 35”? Or do you go for the 36” sets? Si

Another article: https://empireears.com/blogs/news/why-you-should-never-wear-only-one-in-ear-monitor#:~:text=Wearing a single earphone increases,a risk to your hearing. Si

Really really bad for your hearing. Generally speaking, if you don't get moulded/fitted ear-pieces, any generic IEM earbud will let in enough ambient sound in order to monitor your bass and the band. Flipping this on its head, I find that standard moulded earplugs (if you don't wear them already) can lead to much better vocal monitoring, as you naturally hear it more in your head. Si
