Fishman Platinum Pro EQ, I mainly bought it for the adjustable HPF mainly but it does much more than that, I was very impressed (leaving aside the single knob compressor) the EQ section is very easy to use, the tuner and boost are very handy, I will be making use of the built in effects loop this year too.

Barefaced Super Twin 2x12 (18Kg with tilt back wheels) always worked for me playing Classic/Heavy Rock in pubs and clubs, they also do a tweeter version now too if needed. Now I have a 1x12 4ohm Schroeder playing stuff that is not so heavy, the Super Twin doesn't get much action but I will always hang on to it.

I've gone from 2mm Gator Grip, down to .88mm Tortex Triangle, might be something to do with playing rounds a lot more now than heavy flats which I was using.

Just a quick update to this, I went with a custom gauge set from Newtone (108,88,68,48) Diamond, NPS, Hex Core. Very pleased with them. Cheers @MichaelDean for the recommendation, I didn't have to measure, just put the make model and scale lengths in when ordering.

Love the colour!

10.5" or 26.67cm hand span when at full stretch, from tip of little finger to thumb. Wedding ring was custom made, never had an issue with a bass being too big, but picking up pennies off the floor and fine stuff like soldering is a no.

Rickenbacker 4003S (not fussed on colour) Spector Euro 4 (again not fussed on colour) Dingwall Combustion 4 - natural ideally. Whether I will manage to purchase any of the above next year is another matter but these are what I would like currently.

I use a headphone amp, has EQ, aux in for my phone, DI out if needed and a few other bits that I don't use. I'd love to have an amp set up but being mid terrace and the wife always wanting stuff "tidy" its the best option for me.

I have a Dingwall ABZ 4 and as @BigRedX says I took to it in 5 minutes, I find the frets fall under my hand better and obviously the optimum tension for each string and the clarity it gives is great, I still use my other basses but I find this really comfy with the thinner frets too.

Four 51 P pickups in total or are they custom designed?

Very nice.

Love the colour.

I'll have a look. I think from what I read specs wise they are 38" "Speaking Length". Some say the total length is 50" which I thought was excessive.

I am right in thinking that XL scale strings, (38" ball end to silk) would fit my Dingwall ABZ 4? (E is at 36.25"). Just looking around at different options as I find the .100 E in the majority of multiscale sets too light for my taste. I use NPS strings and have found that EB make a set and so do La Bella so far, any other recommendations would be much appreciated.

Can we at least have clues? More than "It is definitely not an electrical household appliance" 😁

Whenever I see a @0175westwood29 post in this thread, I look at it like a Spot the Difference puzzle 😅 meant in the most positive way possible!

Passive for the vast majority, I've almost always found that active basses are too hi fi sounding for me. Plus the simplicity of passive appeals to me, 2 of my basses only have a volume knob, as I can adjust EQ on the amp, that was before I got into using a pedalboard of course which added a host of knobs and settings..

Billy Sheehan is of the opinion that a 1x15 is punchier and has more treble than a 4x10, which in my limited experience of those speaker arrangements, I'd agree with.

With Roto Tapes no less!

Same here, plus as an added bonus I could use the oversize headstock to keep other band mates in line!

I have a 4 string model and it is very playable, the Jazz pickup is a bit weak and the fretboard is "Engineered Rosewood" so it chipped after this clumsy farhkar tried to lean it up against something but, other than that no issues, Hardware all good, preamp seems fine.

In the end despite my resistance I will probably end up going with the HB PowerPlant ISO-10AC Pro. I use AI to help me break stuff down and wade through info but I do check that what it says is correct as much as possible. It suggested the following order for my intended pedals to be connected to the PSU: · Output 1 (9V/250mA): Keeley Bassist Compressor (50mA) · Output 2 (9V/250mA): MXR Smart Gate (15mA) · Output 3 (9V/250mA): JHS Haunting Mids (10mA) · Output 4 (9V/250mA): TC Nether Octaver (10mA) · Output 5 (9V/500mA): Fishman Platinum Pro EQ (200mA) · Output 6 (9V/500mA): TC Afterglow Chorus (>100mA) · Output 7 (18V/220mA): Rodenberg LDP Deluxe (100mA) · Output 8 (9V/450mA): TC Echobrain (>100mA) · Output 9 (9V/450mA): TC Skysurfer Mini (100mA) · Output 10 (9V/450mA): TC Crescendo (100mA) Does this sound right @prowla @jrixn1?

I'm not especially technical so I've never really understood or paid much attention to mA, V, wether it is 9 or 12V etc, though I'm always willing to learn! After all I managed to learn frequencies for EQ etc rather than blindly turning knobs 😅

Sorry I should have added more details, as far as I know everything can run on 9V, though my Fishman Platinum Pro EQ and Rodenberg LDP deluxe can also run on upto 18V though not sure of the advantages of doing that? Also apologies for my ignorance I wasn't aware I could daisy chain from a IEC PSU. I use a ISO-1AC Pro already. I would need power for 9 pedals total. Main reason for not wanting to order from Thomann I didn't want to order stuff I don't need.

I'm looking around for an IEC powered PSU that will take 8-10 pedals and mount under a PT Classic Jr. Ideally under £100. Trying to avoid HB/Thomann as I don't want to have to make up the order to £150 or pay £10 delivery. I've come across Palmer and Fender Engine Room but these are above my budget. Any help and suggestions, greatly appreciated!
