What is the exact weight please? -
I have a Dbx 160A permanently plumbed into my rig. I have it set to give a gentle 2:1 squeeze with a fairly high threshold just to subtly smooth transients out like Highfox. I've tried several pedals in the past but they all seemed to suck the life out of my sound. I like the Dbx because it's amazingly transparent and doesn't colour the sound at all. Once it's set you just forget it's there.

Just sold my ACG EQ01 preamp to Dave. Top chap to deal with, good comms and prompt payment. Many thanks Dave and enjoy exploring the endless tones of the filter pre! Cheers, Ian

Now sold -
An amazingly versatile preamp which offers a massive range of tones from earth shaking dub to midrange punch and crystal highs. This is the 4-knob version which has a stacked vol/blend two LPF filters (one for each pickup), and one HPF filter for adjusting highs. Each filter has a stacked control for selecting the filter cut-off frequency and adjusting the 'overshoot' (resonant peak). The LPF filters can fundamentally change the tonal characteristics of each pickup. Being able to set different characteristics for each pickup and then variably blend them together creates a huge tonal palette. The HPF filter allows for fine tuning of high frequency content across both pickups. Full details of the EQ01 features and functions plus installation instructions can be found on the ACG website here - [url="http://www.acguitars.co.uk/acg-eq01-filter-pre-amp/"]http://www.acguitars...filter-pre-amp/[/url] This preamp came (new) with my ACG Recurve fretless (#0067) which has a single humbucker and a piezo bridge. I used it for several years to great effect but, after a lot of experimenting, I eventually swapped it out for an East SPM-01 modular preamp with an MPM02 buffer which I found worked better with the piezo (the piezo doesn't respond to filtering in the same way as a mag pickup). I've also played an ACG with an EQ01 and two mag pickups and it is mighty. Comes with the original matching set of 4 black stacked control knobs. Requires 9v battery power (battery clip and jack socket not provided). Price is £100 which includes UK delivery. Any questions please ask. Thanks for looking!

Just sold my Boss Chorus to Andy, all good and a very pleasant chap to deal with, many thanks!

If you have a multimeter it's easy enough to check that the pot is working. I'd do that first. If the pot's OK then at least you can isolate the problem to the preamp end.

As you say, the bridge earth usually connects to the output jack earth/shield lug so that's where I'd put it. All other earth connections will also ultimately end up connecting to the output jack earth, usually by daisy chaining or a single 'star' earth point.

Boss CEB-3 Chorus pedal in very clean condition. Great little pedal but no longer needed for my current bands and projects. Manufacturer details below. "The BOSS CEB-3 Bass Chorus gives you all the great BOSS chorus sounds you'd expect but in a package specially designed for bass players. The low filter knob on the CEB-3 allows you to add chorus to the higher register without muddying lower bass notes. Adjusting the level, rate and depth of the CEB-3 means you can do anything from add a little sparkle to your bass lines to blasting out a bombastic 80's sound! What's more, the CEB-3 comes in the great compact and sturdy BOSS stomp-box style that we've all come to know and love." Specifications: • Nominal Input Level: -20 dBu • Input Impedance: 1 M ohms • Nominal Output Level: -20 dBu • Output Impedance: 1 k ohms • Recommended Load Impedance: 10 k ohms or greater • Residual Noise Level: -86 dBu (IHF-A, Typ.) • Connectors - INPUT: Jack - OUTPUT: Jack A (mono)/ B - AC Adaptor: Jack (DC 9 V) (not supplied) Price £40 which includes UK postage. I don't have the orignal box but it will be well packed.

Bear in mind that if you lower the action you may need to tweak your intonation again! Ideally you should have got your luthier to set the action at the same time he did the intonation.

Adding a vol pot for the J pickup will subtly alter the sound of the solo'd P pickup (it changes the pickup loading). Using a switch would avoid this. If you don't need the in-between blended sounds then I'd go for a switch.
-
Entirely possible but the two side of the pickup will then be wired in parallel rather than series which will sound different to a regular P (more polite, less grunt). Have you tried tweaking the EQ at your amp end to get a better balance?

This is a superbly efficient and compact 1 x 12" cab with an incredibly full and accurate sound. It is LOUD and all you will need for most gigs, including outdoors, which is the reason it is for sale. I bought a pair of 112ERs and an LMIII amp thinking that I'd use one cab for small venues and two for larger halls and outdoor events. Around 100 gigs later and the second cab has only been used 3 or 4 times and even then not really needed. One of these cabs is enough for all the gigs I do so this one is up for sale. Model EX112ER specifications: - 1 x 12" cast frame woofer w/ 80oz. magnet, vented pole piece - power handling - 350 watts rms - sensitivity: 98.5db • anechoic: 2.83v/1m - frequency response: 40hz - 4khz - 2 x 1/4" and 2 x neutrik connectors - impedance: 8 ohms - dimensions: 15 3/4"H x 18-1/2"W x 15"D - 40cm x 47cm x 38cm - weight: 36lbs/16.3Kgs - Padded/fitted cover £60 - This cab works well with high power amplifiers from 300 - 500w at 8 ohms More details and reviews here: [url="http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Bergantino%2C_Passive_bass_speakers.html"]http://www.bassdirec...s_speakers.html[/url] I bought this new from BassDirect for £500. It has seen very little use and is in excellent condition. Comes with the matching Berg padded cover. Price £300 - collection preferred (located Guildford/Horsham area) [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4015.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4016.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4017.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4018.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4019.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1090.photobucket.com/user/iankay/media/Bergantino%20cab/IMG_4014.jpg.html"][/url]

Here's a quick test - if you roll your volume pot back to about 70% (leave the tone on 100% and turn the amp up to compensate for the loss in volume) that will give you an idea of what changing both pots to 250k would sound like with the tone fully open. It should generally warm things up a bit. Dial the tone pot back slightly to taste,

[quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1496395663' post='3311019'] Every bass has a deadspot. It's just more obvious on some than others. It is frequency dependent, and that freq is partly based on construction / weight. If you are lucky the freq will be worst in between notes. Say a C and a 1/4 rather than a C or C#. even Status graphite necks have them - it's just due to the construction they tend to be higher up the board where you don't notice as much. [/quote] +1 this is entirely correct and it's refreshing to see someone say this! The deadspots aren't always obvious or troublesome but if you really listen hard enough there will be detectable slight variations in sustain and fullness/harmonic content of notes across the neck. The most troublesome deadspots occur where the resonance of the neck at a particular point coincides with the frequency of the fretted note at that exact same point. The neck resonates at different frequencies in different areas which can create multiple deadspots, even though some or all of them mey not be obvious or troublesome. Deadspots can develop or become more obvious over time or with changes in the weather, particularly with wooden necks. I had an SR5 that developed a troublesome note on the G string after I'd had it for about 10 years. Other variable factors such as string gauge and trussrod setting can also aggravate (or ameliorate) deadspots. Checking every fretted note when you buy will give you a good idea of whether the neck is obviously troublesome or not, but the resonant spots on the neck will change slightly if you change string gauge or adjust neck relief.

A used set of Innovation Rockabilly black nylon strings for 3/4 bass. These were on my SLB-200 when I bought it. I don't know how long they were on the bass but they're in excellent condition and don't look as though they've had much use at all. I don't have original packaging but will send well wrapped in a padded bag. £35 which includes delivery in the UK -

Bit wierd, sounds like a phase issue but then I'd expect that to also show up with both pups full on ...
