@mikebass456 can add me to that disorderly queue. In the meantime, I'd better post a white bass... here's my 25 year old Mexican Fretless.

While pretty basic compared to many of the examples in this thread I'm still pretty pleased with my latest DIY pedal - the Quasi-Jive! I had started to make a stripboard Jptr Jive when I realised a Zvex SHO clone PCB would get me 95 % of the way there. I added my favourite of the clipping diode options from the original Jive, and voilà! I'd like my toddler to decorate it but I'm not sure he has the attention span to finish the job.

Been on a bit of a run of completing DIY pedals lately. Decided to give them their own board for now, spurred on by the power supply gratefully received from @rwillett! R->L: - SHO + Switchable clipping diode 1 based on Jptr Jive circuit. - EQD Zoar clone using PCB from Five Cats - Stripboard version of Fuzzrocious Ram the Manparts, tweaked to make it more usable. - BDI with Mids Mod à la: Think I need to branch out beyond drive/distortion for my next build!

Going into a guitar shop and not buying anything..
Homatron replied to skidder652003's topic in General Discussion
This appears to be a successful model in the world of cycling too. @skidder652003 posting here has made me aware of a shop 30 mins down the road I had never heard of, so it's not all about what you buy! Hoping I can find an excuse to end up in Ashburton soon... -
@0175westwood29 who is Alan? He has been there for a few iterations now.

I've almost convinced myself I'll find a use for a Warlow Mini... these time-limited offers don't do anything for my GAS suppression meditations.
-
Thanks for the heads-up! Doesn't look like it applies to Bass Jive preorders. Sad face.

Trace Elliot - Rescue & Restore (and bargain finds)
Homatron replied to SimonK's topic in Amps and Cabs
Woah... that's some serious good luck and/or perseverance! I count myself lucky if I find some half-priced strawberries for my berry addict toddler! Not sure I could hide a Trace cab at the back of the fridge. -
I wasn't aware of Aclam boards - smart bits of kit.
-
Do I spy a repurposed IKEA Baggmuck? Good to know boutique pedals can still slum it with the rest of 'em.

Homatron replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
Great stuff! In that case I'll put my tinfoil hat away and my headphones on! -
Spotify - Best Bass Lines Evaaar playlist - Get Involved!!!
Homatron replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
Must be a bot account. I thought perhaps I didnt have permission to delete from the playlist. It looks like playlists can set up in such a way that only invited collaborators can contribute. Seems like this function was added, in part, in response to this type of playlist spamming problem. https://community.spotify.com/t5/Implemented-Ideas/Playlists-Only-selected-Playlist-Authors-for-Collaborative/idi-p/201374 -
Spotify - Best Bass Lines Evaaar playlist - Get Involved!!!
Homatron replied to Dood's topic in General Discussion
That's a real shame. Especially as I've only just discovered the playlist's existence! Just out of curiosity I tried removing some of those songs added by that "ForYou" account. They went away, then returned within a few seconds. Seems pretty suspicious. -
BASS PLAYER WANTED URGENTLY FOR SHOWCASE FOR LABELS
Homatron replied to VFband's topic in Bassists Wanted
I can think of at yeast half a dozen more... just use your imagnumation! -
There's also Solent Plastics: https://www.solentplastics.co.uk/20-litre-ip67-rated-waterproof-protective-case-with-or-without-foam/

Inspired by @ordep, I decided to build a battery-powered board. Looking forward to testing this tonight at a local community jam session. No idea what genres are likely to be played so I'm hoping this will cover most bases. Cable management to be improved, and I'm hoping to fit some small feet so I can sling the powerbank underneath the scrap plywood board.

The very definition of "on-stage brawl"
Homatron replied to Happy Jack's topic in General Discussion
There's an instruction manual for that somewhere... karma something-or-other? -
Haha... just rub it in. I would have gone with both OC2s, each with a different settings. Trying to hide my jealousy.
-
Thanks @Chienmortbb! I had seen the software mentioned on BC but hadn't thought about using it in that way. Sounds like a good place to nerd out! I'll take a look.
-
This thread inspired me to give an HPF a go too. I went with the Schalltechnik Vong HPF kit and built it in a lunchtime. Only trialled at home so far but I'm pleased with the outcome. I was worried that it would do bad things when using a -1 octave but it may even sound better*! *biased opinion warning.

Looks like a brilliant compact rig! What is the unit plugged into the ZGPw's output?

I've been on a big Mark Giuliana binge these past few weeks. https://youtu.be/tZNu9gLE_KE?feature=shared
