Bought one when they first came out, loved it, didn't play it, sold it. Missed it, so bought another from here, loved it, didn't play it, sold it. Missed it, bought a THIRD from here, still loving it, still not playing it as much as I should.... I don't learn from my mistakes... Interesting to note that the relicing has changed slightly over time, mainly around the edges.

Yes you are correct it's fine to do that. I asked Darkglass the same question. Interestingly on the V1 it is labelled Preamp out/Poweramp In but Darkglass changed it as so many people asked if it could be used as an effects loop. And yes it's post EQ and microtubes but pre Master.

Is your Scarlett registering an input signal at all?

Does anyone use an iPad for their set lists and crib sheets?
Muppet replied to Old Horse Murphy's topic in General Discussion
I use an app called OnSong specifically for this. I create a library of songs per band and then I can create setlists from this library. My crib sheets are in PDF form created from Word. I upload them into Dropbox and them import them in to OnSong on my iPad. It also works with a bluetooth connected footswitch to turn pages, if that's your thing. -
True, but with Dave you got a bespoke service, rather than buying off the shelf. Yes he uses the same Neutrik connectors, Klotz/Van Damme cable as others do but you could talk through exactly what you needed with him and he's make it to spec. If all you're after is a 6m guitar lead then fair enough, but if you need a 3.5mm jack with a locking nut to a self muting right angled 1/4" jack it's tricky. Designacable as mentioned above do provide more of a specialist service but not quite to OBBM levels, in my opinion.

Fender American Dimension Deluxe HH 5 string in natural with maple neck. Spec is below. Condition is good, no gouges in the finish although there are some minor surface dings. Neck is lovely and smooth with no chips or marks. Case is original, with keys, a bit marked here and there and a small hole in the lining where the tuner rubs and case candy included. The strap is the original one but heavily used by the previous owner. White pickguard also included. Weight 9.4lbs I have two of these and now only need one. I can ship if necessary after discussion with the potential buyer (at additional cost) but am also happy to have it collected or meet halfway. . Now £800.

I think only the 5 strings came in those G&G cases. The four string deluxes came in a ABS case like this first pic - the Dimension Elite models then came in the cases in the second pic. -
Another Designacable fan here. They’ll do anything you like using quality parts.

I know of one place in my gigging circle that is still planning on putting on a band outdoor on 4th July. All others (including the one my band was booked for) are no longer going ahead since reviewing the guidelines. Interestingly the one place that is still going ahead is saying "well, they're only guidelines, we'll be ok"..... Is anyone booked to play?
-
Your point is valid - there are two different versions of the guidelines!
-
From section 4.5 of the detailed guidance There will be further guidance setting out how performing arts activity can be managed safely in other settings, for instance rehearsing or broadcast without an audience.
-
That's the summary guidance. The detailed guidance is slightly different and is as follows Objective: To maintain social distancing when providing entertainment within or outside restaurants, pubs, bars and similar venues that serve food or drink. At this time, venues should not permit live performances, including drama, comedy and music, to take place in front of a live audience.

New Bass restoration project Day! And diary
Muppet replied to uk_lefty's topic in Repairs and Technical
It's clear from your photo that the problem is that there are four wires across the top holding it in place.......😂 Seriously, could there be foam under the pickup like Fenders? If so it could be glued in place. Is there any room around the edge to slip a thin wedge in and lever it out? I noted there was some paint chips around the pup already maybe someone's already tried to lever it out previously? -
Check the links I posted earlier for the actual Govt advice. I'm drawing my conclusions from them rather than the Daily Mail's interpretation!

Headline advice is here for the 'visitor' economy. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/working-safely-during-coronavirus-covid-19/the-visitor-economy#shops-4-1 The document for pubs is here. Section 4.5 covers Entertainment https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5eb96e8e86650c278b077616/Keeping-workers-and-customers-safe-during-covid-19-restaurants-pubs-bars-takeaways-230620.pdf

looking at the published guidance/rules "At this time, venues should not permit indoor performances, including drama, comedy and music, to take place in front of a live audience." So gigs inside should not happen. "Venues should not permit indoor performances, including drama, comedy and music, to take place in front of a live audience. This is important to mitigate the risks of aerosol transmission - from either the performer(s) or their audience. There will be further guidance setting out how performing arts activity can be managed safely in other settings, for instance rehearsing or broadcast without an audience. There is an additional risk of infection in environments where you or others are singing, chanting, shouting or conversing loudly. This applies even if others are at a distance to you. You should therefore avoid environments that require you to raise your voice to communicate with anyone outside your household. All venues should ensure that steps are taken to avoid people needing to unduly raise their voices to each other. This includes - but is not limited to - refraining from playing music or broadcasts that may encourage shouting, including if played at a volume that makes normal conversation difficult. " Gigs outside? Not specifically mentioned but seems unlikely. Further guidance expected for 'rehearsals'.

...and you'd probably not make that back including them in the sale would you? If you sold them separately you could make up some of the loss vs a standard Ray?
-
I reckon you'd get more interest by putting it back to standard, advertising it as a Ray 5 and offering the option of the modifications on top. Ultimately the only permanent modification is (hidden) split coil routing?
-
That's a really good point. It could be the lacquer has lifted and flaked off where it's been applied over the decal as it's not taken properly.
-
Another vote for the ACS plugs. I used the same moulds that were taken when I got my IEMs done.
-
Those tuner bushes look mangled and the truss rod adjustment is at the headstock which would fit with a Traditional model. No idea why the decals are rubbed off in those places...The Fender logo looks legit but better photos would help.
-
Have you got any more photos? Straight on headstock front and back, full body etc? You've only provide two that are a bit abstract, but..... Looks like an American Traditional to me. It was a sort of budget American model halfway between an Mexican and USA model at the time. The tuners will look like mexican ones if so. I think these Jazzes came with one piece pickguard and stratocaster type knobs originally...
-
What options are you selecting on their website? You need to select "package or suitcase" when getting a quote rather than " non-standard". It's confusing because it tells you to use non standard for musical instruments. I've used them a couple of times and DPD have been used as the courier, which I'm happy about as I find them the best.
-
In that case make sure you are safe during your gig!

It's a big supermarket chain. We have to queue up, 2 metres apart, to be allowed in to do our grocery shopping.....
