I could, but it's not as easy to see as a separate LED one. Added to which, the Zoom is in a loop and often bypassed.

Up until now, my signal path has been bass>wireless>FX board>amp. But I'm wondering if perhaps the board could go in the amp's FX loop. I'm guessing possibly not as there are boost elements there, but I'd like to know what the team think. The amp is a Trace TE-1200 and this is my board.

OK, I'm definitely going to stop mucking about with it now I've moved things around and added/subtracted a couple of bits. Tuner is now a Polytune Mini, and I'm using it to mute the signal as intended for silent tuning, so my homemade mute switch is now 'resting'. The other addition is a high/low pass filter which I'm using as a 'thumpinator' because the new Trace amp doesn't have one built in unlike the previous Shuttle. This pedal is a clone of a Broughton Low+High that I bought as a rough finished project and rehoused in a nicer/smaller enclosure. It's an always-on, so to be honest I needn't have bothered with the footswitch, but it was already built so I kept it. Having seen other pedalboards with clocks on, I think I might do the same. If I can find one the right size for the gap, that's what I'll do.

PC is one of the most underrated drummers in the history of history.

The only separate pre/power rig I've ever had was a Trace GP12SMX pre into a SoundTech PS802 1U 800w power amp. The Trace SMX is still my favourite preamp of all time. Talking of DIY gear... has anyone ever had a go at building the Kreuzer JFET bass preamp? I believe @orangepeelneil had a project build one about a million years ago.

I'm really hoping to, although real life being what it is I might not be able to. And in the spirit of reciprocal self-depracation: The Soup Destroyers Drain To Skaville

I certainly count myself very fortunate in that I've never had any difficulty swapping between 4 and 5.

Every Crane of Sand - Bob Dylan

They strike me as a sort of bastárdised Bellowhead/Fisherman's Friends mashup without the appeal or the ability of either. And they make for quite horrifying reading.

This argument is adding nothing to the topic. If you wish to continue the frank exchange of views, please do so via PMs.

Wow. The only Wilkes bass I've ever laid hands on was a fretless with the big slap plates in the fingerboard, that was a proper monster. This looks gorgeous. What's the string spacing at the bridge? Looks like 17 or so in the pics?

Oh thank god. You see so many of these lovely basses with the E and G strung all to cóck at the headstock (generally as per the red lines below), so you have restored my faith in human nature by doing it properly. Thank you thank you thank you. Will you be bringing this wee cutie to the SWBB?

Rama Llama Ding Dong -- Sha Na Na

In all honesty, I'd trawl through Farcebook marketplace and pick up something from there. 75 quid would get you an Encore / Vintage / Harley B or some such, that will be a much better bet and a safer punt than anything from DH Gate.
