I don’t believe the OP has come back to comment since posting the topic, so kinda seems like a somewhat redundant conversation until they do?! Si

I’m trying to stop myself from starting a build in lockdown, and the Guitar Build stuff seems pretty solid!? That said, I have limited to no access to finishing tools/materials, so that might scupper me before I start haha Si

Looks fantastic, great job! Si

Cue the swathe of comments about it not being any good purely on the grounds that they don’t like it lol. Not sure who the bassist is, but quite frankly could be any number of players in the US, a lot of VERY capable players on that pop/hip-hop scene! Si

They can certainly be all over the place. Think people would typically go Swamp Ash if they want to 'more likely' have it be lighter. Si

I think ultimately it's difficult to argue against the value of Reaper for the feature-set, what with it essentially being free, and then only £60 should you choose to support them. But I would stick with Logic being the best value with regards to feature-set and quality native plugins and massive amount of virtual instrument sounds, not to mention the drum-track designer. Si

Yeah, difference between Ash (can be heavy) and Swamp Ash (usually lighter). Si

Meh, not surprising really. Good on them for taking some action for conservation reasons. Si

There’s no provision for mains power right? Just battery? Si

Thanks very much, and your advice is seemingly in-line with the article I posted to, suggesting the anode to the square pad, which would mean their orientation to each other is opposite (based on the PCB layout). Cheers Si

Hi all, I'm just putting a JMK PCB together, hopefully just needing parts from my bits box. Question, does the orientation of LEDs as clipping diodes matter? There are not +/- indications on the PCB for D1 & D2 in the same way you see with electrolytic caps or other diodes: But I'm not good enough with schems to know: I have actually soldered them now based on the following advice: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/led-polarity.5/ ie Anode to circle pad......although clearly this is a different PCB, and so that may not be correct in this particular case. Thoughts? Many thanks Si

I think it's way more about what bass you're playing, and how you're playing it than what amp you. Also popped over to amps/cabs as you're likely get more answers. Si

My three faves in no particular order: Si

Arrived yet? Si

Yes, rolled edges on Gen 2 V3’s Si

I did have some Jazz knobs delivered for it, but (even after doing the research) they didn’t fit. So they went on my Jazz fretless, and will look out for something else for this. Si

Took a Sire V3 5 string in as a trade for an amp a couple of weeks ago. Basically as new, however the preamp had seemingly taken a knock in transit and a couple of caps had broken off. ”No bother” I thought, the bass sounded great in passive mode, so I set about removing the preamp, and wiring the bass fully passive with series/parallel switching on push/pull pot. Not my neatest work, but it sounds great! And while the knobs are just place-holders until I can find a matching set that fits, a few people have mentioned that they actually like them haha...I’m not sure: Si

The site works for me now!? Si

Oh it’s not mine, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better Precision than a Moollon at that price 🙂 Si

Just buy this and you can thank me later: Si

Sorry, missed this. Yes, you can run a bass straight into the PureAmp without a preamp. You'd simply be hearing your bass (be it passive or active) through the GR power amp, no amp EQ, just it's initial gain-stage. Si

Yeah got the solder and iron etc, have made a lot of DIY pedals Cheers Si

Hey all, I'm going to have a go at wiring my own Jazz Bass harness. I was going to get a wonderful Kiogon one, however in an effort to save some money, and do something new, going to try the DIY approach. I have the various parts now, apart from the wire. I have a bunch of simple hook-up wire from building DIY pedals, but it seems the wiring in guitars might be a little more sensitive?! Any recommendations? As well as where to purchase too. I don't need lengths of the stuff, just enough to do one Jazz harness. Cheers all Si
