Would love to hear a sample of this!

Wonder if someone here commissioned it!?

Thanks very much, think these are for standard 3PDT switches though.

Final version

 

This fills me with so much anxiety haha

Si

While I appreciate it’s not the spec the OP is looking for at all, just to demonstrate how versatile Jon is, here’s a 30” 5 string he built recently, obviously in the trad Fender tradition. What a cool bass!

Si

…any options other than horrendously overpriced Barefoot Buttons? I’m currently using the Mooer plastic knee for standard switches, but they don’t make versions that fit momentary switches….oh and they need to be tall too haha.

cheers

Si

Just get a Lakland AJ 4 in black, sorted! (Image from Google):

I rejigged my secondary/‘fly-board’ after receiving my Schutone replacements for overdrive and chorus:

All on a PT Nano and powered by a Cioks Sol. Just need to get a couple of tall pedal toppers for the Schutone pedals now, ones that fit momentary switches (the Mooer toppers don’t).

How has it been over a year someone has posted here? Since I bought the JO4, I've added a JO5 and a Skyline 55-02. Absolutely amazed by the quality of these basses.

 

My current three, I added a 55-02 a couple of months ago, but it’s transient I think…..my thinking as of today is that I’ll probably move it on at some point to fund a 55-Dual J Classic. But the 44-PJ is the truth, and the 55-01 with upgraded US Bartolini pups/pre is great too:

I’ve just been prompted to change my password, did so, and now when I try to log in, it states that I’ve been “banned temporarily” by the site owner. Which is odd.

EDIT: I seem to be logged in now after leaving it for a bit. Weird bug 🤷‍♂️.

That’s stunning!! ❤️

Some marine ply, glue, basic sawing and some carpet covering maybe?

That’s not gonna look like a case if I’m making it 🤣

The board is a bit of wooden flooring cut down to size, with some anti slip feet stuck to the bottom and the velcro used to attach the pedals!

 

The case is a portable printer case found in amazon after days of searching! There's so many cases out there for other things than can be repurposed! This one's discontinued it seams.

 

I waa very specific on the dimensions as this fits perfectly into the pouch of my Protection Racket bass case. 

Nice, love it. I suspected it was a ‘plank’ board and random case, but yes, wanted to check.

Do you remember what dimensions you worked to?

Thought I'd post this here too since i photo'd it for a different thread on basschat this evening! Can't mind if I've posted it before.

 

 

What’s the board and case please? 
Lovely little package! 
 

Si

Really not sure about this, but I’m saving for a special bass and this is toooo good to have on a rarely used second pedal-board.

This is essentially a Noble with a couple of paired down features, no power outlets for other pedals, a single tube driving both the DI & 1/4” outs as opposed to the two tubes of the Noble. But same beautiful tone stack and other features.

I’m only looking to recoup what it owes me, which I think is fair seeing as these are not made anymore. 

Want a Noble at a third of the price, this is your best bet! 
 

As new (plus some Velcro on the bottom of course), never gigged, boxed with ‘case candy’ etc.

I love that both RATM and Rage Against The Machine are listed ☺️.

Whats the band? Would help for people to know.

I use a Dewalt Tstak deep box because I put other stuff in there, but a smaller 16" box could work if you wanted to carry only the Nano .

 

I like that it remains upright and so everything inside stays more-or-less where you put it, rather than a briefcase-style box which changes orientation when you pick it up.

 

That’s pretty cool, but yeah, would be looking to only carry the Nano and a few cables perhaps. But Dewalt, cool, I’ll take a look in B&Q or something, thanks! 
 

Si

Is anyone using an ‘off the shelf’ case for their PT Nano? I’m not looking for a full flight case, more like a photography style case.

PT do make a case for the Metro that they cite for the Nano plus extra space…but at £130 or so, that’s more than I want to spend.

Were you using KiCad? 
I loved how simple it was to learn to use but the symbol/footprint libraries seemed crazily complex to manage and find a set of things that would do what I wanted - for instance I couldn’t find a footprint for jfets that would let me do through hole or smd like you have

I’ve not done any layouts at all since Eagle died a death….sounds like there’s nothing quite like it for us small-time users!

That's fair, I'm annoyed cos I was going to triple check the schematic after I'd laid the board out but I thought it would be fine... Gonna try and add SMT pads for the 5089s as well as to-92 versions are harder to get hold of now apparently...

Have you got a BOM handy? Will figure out what I need in the meantime!

Works apart from 2 additional stupid mistakes, I forgot a cap on one of the gain stages (cut a trace and add a cap across 2 pads) and the pins on the j201 symbol are apparently wrong, so the through hole and SMT pads are wrong. I had some through hole j113s that I twisted the legs on and seen to work just fine. I was in a rush to get them made and skipped some more thorough double checking...

 

I'm gonna redesign the board but you're welcome to one of these, they're simple hacks (I'll cut the trace so you know it's the right one)

To be fair, I’m in no rush….unlikely to build it any time soon. So if you’re going to redesign, I’ll wait for one of those…if that suits you of course?!

Cheers ☺️

Si

First pass at redoing my second board onto a PT Nano rather than a Nano+, tighter spacing, but I wanted the smaller footprint. The trickier 3 switches in the middle of the board (Tuner/Drive/Chorus) should be much more accessible with he addition of some Barefoot Button ‘Tallboy’ switch toppers (yet to arrive, the standard Mooer ones pictured).  

Corona Chorus and the 66 are getting swapped out in the next month or so, watch this space.

All powered with a Cioks Sol smartly fixed in place with their clamp, very neat setup that!
