For $14,500 I'll take my rather nice Jazz and pull half the frets out with my teeth. My kids (now 18 and 16) have loads of sparkly painting stuff left over from when they were five, I've got some PVA glue and I'll pour a mm or two all over it. Both my daughters went through a very pink sparkly stage at 5-6 years old, so we have kgs of the stuff left over for something or other. This is that something. I'll do it dirt cheap at around $10k and I'm cutting my own throat at that price.

No longer needed as work has given me a nice new HP laptop. This was my spare travel PSU. Its the 65W 1706 model, comes with the cloverleaf lead and UK plug and the stupid Microsoft dedicated power connector rather than the USB-C that the rest of the world uses, apart from Apple and Microsoft. There is a special place in hell reserved for the executives tw*ts who thought they were being clever and generating revenue for their companies by using propriety connectors. Sadly it works so I can't just fling it in recycling. It has a massive number of ports, no I'm lying, it has a single USB-A 2.0 port. You can connect a mouse, wow, just wow. These are approx £11 on eBay new, I'll send it for the absolutely nothing simply to get get rid of it. Amazon has it for the extortionate price of £14. Here's the Amazon link to it https://amzn.eu/d/bsMPodm If you need it, this means you have a MS Surface Pro and nothing I can say or do will make life any better for you. My suggestion is to change jobs for an employer that values you. Rob

Hi This is no longer needed. It's a plastic front and rear for a Macbook Air M1 A2337. Other models may fit. I'm pretty certain it's one of these and the colour is very similar to this but but can't say its Pastel Orange. https://amzn.eu/d/aXM6zgi There's a load of surface scratches and one corner is slightly cracked. However its better than having nothing on your expensive Macbook Air. I'll even post for free. Rob

Good to hear it's resolved. A new amp thread is always interesting as well

When I think of a snappy reply you are in so much trouble

I can certainly be the Chosen One to eat cake. I am being very specific here. I shall rise to the occasion and be the very best person who eats cake in a controlled and repeatable manner.

This needs to be fun and informative. My interest is smallish speakers, much as I would love a double American sized fridge of Ampeg speakers, let's be realistic (for me). Small, powerful enough and cost effective. I have not used the word cheap. Small to fit into a sensible car, powerful enough for a small club and drummer, cost effective so I only blink once at the price.

This is the best and only way to check and remove all biases. Easy enough to do in principle, though there may be issues with speaker connections and impedence. Very happy to help but once we have 4 amps and 4 cabs there are 16 combinations to connect and disconnect and play through. So it could take some time. Also will you simply put a looper pedal to play something through or will some poor sod have to play the same pieces exactly the same way. They would have to played at the same volume as well, as a louder or softer output would be perceived differently. I would also expect some people to say that their amp plays slap better than non slap and no this 12" speaker is designed specifically for this amp and that's why it's not a fair comparison. I've just participated in a double blind medical test so decided to understand a bit more about it so read a lot on how biases creep in. After saying all this, excellent idea and happy to help.

Pmed you

I think you should buy one and report back.... Thx Rib

Opens notebook. Writes down "Don't piss Andy Travis off". Closes notebook.

An artist always signs his work…

Be careful otherwise you might end up crafting a lovely lollipop stick

Welcome indeed. Read, ask loads of questions, post pictures of your bass. The fat fingers usually goes away. Didn't in my case but you should be fine. Not been to Glossop for ages, was brought up in Chesterfield but loved the peak district

It was designed for rear loading on a wooden body. I have two mahogany guitar blanks I got dirt cheap. I am planning to use those. However it took a lot longer to get the design right, especially using five pin pogo connectors. It had to slide in easily, be simple to lock, quick to adjust and be able to accomodate a wide range of pickups. It had to look good from the top as well. It has to fit in a quite narrow space as well. To be honest I bit off a lot more than I could chew with it. Took a lot of time up, I could have built a whole new guitar with the effort I put in. Not sure what you want by the dirty great hole. Is this on the six string above? The hole doesn't detract from the strength of the guitar as that's the aluminium floor and backbone. The space allows the pickups to be easily moved or to have three pickups. There's no extra strength value in having anything in that space and as its covered by a pickguard it's hidden. However it would be quite easy to put a block in the middle. Worth thinking about if I can see how to adapt the modular pickups to work from the top down rather than the bottom up. I'm walking dog so will on ponder on this.

You called?

Looked at that and thought the same thing. Two screws and two levers each 200mm ish from wall and each with 4kg on the end. A lot of leverage for two screws to handle. No idea what wall it's connected to and how long the screws are but I'd be worried.

Well, I have a wonderful investment opportunity my friend, Mr Ponzi, is currently working on...

I have the dremel and polishing wheel as well. Might look at this as well.

Which nut are you referring to? Theres more than one nut involved in this guitar...

Followed rapidly by a number of sessions with a registered psychologist as well a a respected luthier so you are back on an even keel... We'd have have to reintroduce you slowly into normal society.

I am his target audience, far fingered and mature, though normally only a certain select set of websites refer to me being "mature"... And those are now only available through a VPN. I recognise the signature touches here, the wonky tuners, the nut that's been cut with a bread knife and then recessed with his teeth, the partial scalloping of the neck edge. Every master has their little expressions that make the design unmistakably their own and he's hit the jackpot again. I can only sit back and look in wonder at what he has done. Truly we are mere mortals in the presence of a master. Rob

This is the module pickup I designed This is underneath the top cover., The top cover fastens to the guitar body and is permanent. The clip at bottom right is a holder for a five pin pogo connector. This is the pickup frame, this connects to the top cover. You can see the three guide and screw sections that match above. The pogo connector at the bottom, connects to a pogo connector at the top. This then connects to the wiring loom. This is a generic piece and takes any pickup. This is a specific sledge for a Type 1 Humbucker. The raised circular sections connect to the humbucker bottom plate. The four circular holes near them are needed to attach the humbucker bottom plate back to the humbucker. Every sodding humbucker is different so it needs a different bottom plate. The three holes that are slightly recessed are the adjustment screws to raise and lower the humbucker,. I note that the bottom left appears to be missing the through hole it should have Here's a bottom plate for a Fender lipstick pickup. The only features that carry over are the three cut outs around the edge and the three recessed screws for raising and lowering the pickup. The idea was to have a standard top cover and pickup frame and only the bottom would change depending on the pickup. I got this working but not sure if it will make it into this guitar or bass. Rob
