    Hey all. Update to the thread. So, I got the chance to try out a new prototype cab from @stevie. It’s wonderful, very capable for an 8” cab. The driver for me for trying it out was having the Everse 8 distort a lot when I pushed it a lot harder on one recent busking gig. I was asking too much of it - outdoors, no walls nearby, playing with a drummer on a portable kit - but I realised that I want to step up my power/speaker size. When I compare directly to the LFSys 8” prototype. I now appreciate more cabinet resonances when I turn the Everse up loud. I think this is because it is a composite cab, and also not as well braced as the LFSys cab. There’s no contest for me. Having the prototype LFSys 8” cab to compare to the Everse shows how much better having a dedicated, properly braced, rigid bass cab sounds at high volume. I’ve sold the Everse 8 and accepted that what I need for busking is more speaker size and power. I did a lot of testing out of portable camping batteries and the Jackery Explorer 300+ is where I landed. I’ve solved a significant EMI noise problem with that, and will simply use my well used B-Amp with an LFSys cab and the Jackery. I accept better/louder sound will now need a bigger carry - so got my luggage trolley back out. I now await an LFSys Goodwood 10” with great anticipation.

    Removed from another project bass I was making. I bought this new. This is a clean and clear Glockenklang preamp. It’s in full working order. https://www.glockenklang.de/en/products/bass_systems/onboard_2-band.htm Volume, Balance, Treble and Bass controls with passive tone circuit activated from Push/Pull volume control. Specs from the Glockenklang website: ‘Onboard preamp 2-band The GLOCKENKLANG 2-band onboard preamp is active/passive switchable (at the volume push/pull), has a balance-pot with no volume dip in center-position, a treble-pot with +/- 18 dB@18 KHz in active mode, acting as classical highcut in passive mode and a bass-pot with +/- 14 dB@40 Hz. Battery-connection is 9 / 18 volts. Due to the high performance electronic, in flat position of the eq you can hear no difference between active and passive mode! It comes pre-wired with highflexible cables.‘ £69 plus shipping. Pete

    Morning all Up for sale is a set of Squier '77 VMJ pickups. Working perfectly and sound great; I used the bass I got them in for a different build project, so no longer need these. They even come with spring loaded foam, a nice touch. Easy to use for a bitsa build. I'm selling for £27 plus postage. Pete

    One set gone. Now down to 2 sets.

    Hopefully better than I did...I could'nt find the right size of threaded insert for the thumb screws to go into, so I just drilled into wood. Somewhere in the comments on that video is a comment that says the right kind of insert (I think...).

    Yes, it is. I have had an issue on my Precision with it. Turns out my Precision doesn’t have pickup polepieces that are grounded. So, if I don’t have a good path to ground (e.g. because the strings are coated in non-conductive material), I get a ton of noise touching the polepieces. Like when Elixirs are installed.

    Good responses. I’m going to try these Dragon Skins out then. Though one thing I need to check - do they allow strings to ground properly at the bridge? (i.e. Is the coating conductive?)

    Aaand it’s gone. Thanks everybody.

    @Beedster it’s perfect for a fretless neck….just saying…lol.
  13. funkle started following New Unused Strings - Elixir Nickels 45-100 - *SOLD* and Hipshot Licensed Ultralite 1/2” Clover Leaf Tuners in Chrome - Now 1 set left.

    Hello all Cleaning out the parts cupboard. I somehow have accumulated 3 sets of these Hipshot Licensed Ultralite 1/2” Clover tuners in chrome. All in great condition/fully working as you would expect. I love these tuners - great value. I’m going to suggest £70 shipped in the UK for each set. First come, first served! Now down to 1 set after 2 sets sold. Pete

    I meant to say. Here’s what these Turner pickups sound like with an ACG EQ01 preamp - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bDxJtT8a3cc And here’s what they sound like with the Lusithand Double NFP (the Mark 1 version, not the Mark 2). - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gAMnqz6Uoic They sound great with the preamp in this body - the Double NFP mark 2.

    Hey all Bought by accident - meant to get steels, not nickels. Ah well. My loss is someone else’s gain. £30 posted in the UK seems a reasonable discount. Pete
