    Jlcpcb is so cheap, fast and such good quality that I suspect they're a loss leader for some sinister purpose. So user-friendly too, upload the gerbils (I'll let that one in 😄) and you get a preview so you know you've not forgotten a layer.
  2. Comes to all of us...
  3. It's very "playable", love the feel of the roasted maple. Initially the sound didn't seem deep enough so following some tips here I got a pair of dimarzio ultra jazz, now it really sounds like the jazz bass I'd hoped for. Very versatile, works with a pick or bare fingers. It's my first J. I was expecting a big difference in the neck but actually the CIJ precision feels skinnier at the nut. I think it's unusually shallow for a P. I haven't measured them. I should, in the interests of journalism.
  4. Yes I'm ever so slightly tempted...going to wait to see what Mr Tone makes of it after a few gigs/rehearsals/oasis reunions... Just weighed my jet jjb, 4.2kg.
  5. I think the tort looks great. I have a Jet jazz bass, liking it a lot. My first encounter with roasted maple, does feel good. It's pretty heavy though. What's your P weigh, in actual kg?

  7. As not heard at Shea Stadium?
  8. Tongue-hanging-out emoticon. This, or a Shuker? I'm new to Sandbergs. What's this Elektra range? Is it their Squier?
  9. 'flat' always sounds very middle-y on a bass. I think Bob knew that and realised that no-one would want to boost the mids, hence the options are 'flat' or 'cut the mids'.

  12. There's suddenly so much online interest in these that the CIA are going to start making enquiries... Looking at the schematic of the 400 preamp (because I'm nosey and I've read this month's Viz), it looks like "flat" eq is with bass and treble at 12 o clock, and the mids both at max. Am I right?

    Pern?
  14. It says "may induce nausea and vomiting if ingested". I tried some, and it really did do exactly what it says on the tin.
  15. That it is. I'd never heard of paint protector, could use that throughout my house, garden, studio and bogshed...
  16. It's paint isn't it? Tuffcab?
  17. Hi Phil, could you link to this?
  18. I'm just wondering what that combo weighs 😵‍💫
  19. If the pot or jack had rotated and accidentally made contact with a correctly wired shield, as often happens in a tight cavity without insulation, the signal would be cut out. OP reports a 'orrible 'um. 99% certain he's wired the shield to the wrong end of the pot.
  20. This is definitely worth investigating
  21. So if you were standing four feet away from the drummer you'd hear him before your guitarist did, also four feet away but not using iem...
  22. Bass (for me at least) is always a bit meh at TV volumes (or in headphones). I need to be able to feel it. Not necessarily trouser-flapping, but a bit of haptic feedback. Maybe a gaming chair? Or one of those drumstools with an inbuilt vibrator. That's probably the wrong word. But you know. Then a modeling pre, and a $5 combo from Argos.
  23. Whereabouts are you (or would you post the item)? I've fixed a few micro USB faults with my awesome soldering skills, it's a shame to bin something that could be repaired. Pm me.
  24. Is Alex still here? In another thread in this forum,celebrating the Gallien Krueger class AB amps, someone linked to an interview with Bob Gallien. He says he designed the power supplies to be "not too stiff", ie with small reservoir caps so the amp was deliberately designed to behave as Alex says here. I find that a bit odd. Sure enough, the schematic shows half as much capacitance as I'd usually expect to see. These are great sounding, sought-after amps, no-one complains of them lacking weight/heft/loudness.

    No it's cool, making assembly drawings from the altium files is easy. Pm me your address.
