I had the altium schematic and board on screen. I can make assembly drawing pdfs if you want to have a go.

Not often that I feel the need to reply "nice, congratulations..." etc to a nbd post. but that does look like it (or its brother) should be hanging round my neck. Sounds like?

I have Newtone Shorties on my 30" JagWah, very impressed with the weight and clarity coming off them. And the 4 strings seem to be ageing gracefully at the same rate (uneven tone between strings as they lose their zing grinds my pods big time) How much of this is down to the shortscale I don't know. but I will be trying the 34" version at some point.

Top tip, thanks!

Mostly 0805 yes. Some of the caps are 0603 - I looked for what was cheapest available C0G from Mouser.

True 👍

It works upside down, too 😍

This one. Yes, 1590bb. It works, haven't compared it to a real one but I've heard the original described along the lines of "adding a bit if ampeg type grit". Does that, works as a preamp when used with a slave, or an effect when used in front of a bass amp.

Just found this thread. I posted elsewhere that I've cloned the sansamp bass driver and have a couple of spare boards, anyone want one? £0

I'm getting a buzzing sound from my 3015...

2006 Picasso did it for me, rear seats come out and it turns into an Escort van (virtually)

I put a 3015lf in a 70 litre box and haven't killed it yet with a 400W amp. I added a 4th order 30Hz hpf when I noticed how much palm muting made the cone move. I can't remember the port tuning frequency but I can check if anyone wants to know.

I'm very sceptical about that, maybe if the neck was made of plasticine...

I think an earlier comment referenced that tilt screw, and the users who neglected to slacken the bolts before tweaking it. My 70s P boasted a shim, and like you say it wasn't a tapered wedge, just a lump at the end of the pocket. There was about half a metric inch space between the edges of the heel and the pocket, another key indicator of Quality.

Speaking as the op, I did measure them with mitutoyu vernier calipers and they definitely weren't tapered. The seller refunded me without requesting I return them.

This needs to be pinned.

Ah well, we're in different leagues. The Sunday League post punk noisers I play with get what we're given, and enjoy the sound and smell of dying loudspeakers.

So are bass speakers, Shirley? The ones I like are, anyway

You can choose?

Thomann delivered... So which ones first! Edit: the Lo Riders on the Jazz. Highly delightful fingerstyle (predictive texts insists on finger Tyler there, whoever he is) and super aggressive with a pick. But this is all about longevity, let's see what they're like after a bit of abuse.

Bob Got It Right First Time 😊

What a likeable engineer. So that relatively small reservoir capacitance wasn't just cheapskating.

Thanks Ruarl. That makes sense, but rail sticking is generally something you'd be very careful not to allow, early in the design...as crucial as preventing overheating really. I suspect a lot of power amp stages in bass amps are just lifted from existing amps. The Trace mosfet is almost exactly the Hitachi design note (and a DIY project offered by Maplin), bloody good one though. The one I built could not be destroyed with conventional weapons. The GK does seem quite unusual. I'll ask my geekmates what they make of it.

It's 100% agreed here that there's nothing to be gained by micing the port. So I guarantee that sometime soon, some "renegade" producer is going to be questioned about how he gets his awesome bass sound and he says: -they said it couldn't be done, but rules are just there to be broken.... I'm going to have to try it now 😀

How's it going Beedie Boy, still a Jazz or have you swung back to P?
