... Welcome to the forum Velarian 👍

.... as the wood seems to have a finish on, I'd be careful about applying too much heat as this could damage this. I've used the damp cloth and soldering iron trick on a few of my Warwick basses in the past (with no finish, apart from the wax) that worked wonders. However my Warwick Stage 1 5 string has a coloured oil finish I couldn't get it to work at all (they have some hard finish applied over the coloured oil). However for your type of instrument I'd personally edge towards a professional repair. I'd not want to cause any further damage. Peace.

Wowzers, now THAT is a lot of pedals 👍🏼 Compare my Nano version 2 ha ha

.... some ace ‘Stranger Things’ type sounds 👍🏼

Just bought a pedal off Gerry, all good and packaged well. Would deal with again no problems. Peace.

... just bought an OC-2 from Mike, good comms and packaged well. Item as described, amazing condition pedal, let alone it being 22 yrs old! Would deal with again no problems, cheers.

Love the no power cables vibe, nice work 👍🏼

Cheers, I’ll test it for week or so. Maybe going back for a different one.

Hey folks, I recently bought a Korg Pitchblack mini for a new build as my older full fat Pitchblack is still holding up well. However I’ve noticed that the mini seems very sensitive to any switching or ‘electrical noise’ I suppose eg. When I click from passive to active on my bass the display sweeps around for a bit, before settling back down. Had anyone else experienced this with their unit or is it a lemon that needs to go back? It does seem to tune ok, just seems a lot more sensitive than my older full fat vartiant. Cheers.

Now onto my second board, an uber simple Pedaltrain Nano build to complement the HX Stomp Nano + build I did a while ago (quoted above). This is similar to that, just no HX Stomp involved lol. I've got a Korg Pitchblack Mini on that now, using the full fat Pitch Black on the nano. I thought it'd be easier having everything on one board, quicker set up and less prone to damage. The tuner and instrument selector both battery powered so no need for any power leads. The later is passive, just has a battery to power the LEDs that are actually useful. It uses a batter box with switch underneath (I had to modify it, replaced the straight lead for a right angled on and changed the center + to center - in the process). It is a bit ironic having a pedal board with no effects, but I don't always need them I suppose! They are all mounted using 10 mm 3M Dual Lock pads, by previous build used 15 mm 3M pads that I think are more appropriate. The 10 mm pads still work, you just need more of them lol. Pics below:

... sorry to hear that. I once snapped a truss rod on a newly acquired used Warwick Streamer LX Jazzman. Great bass but the neck had an unnoticed slight twist. Had it nearly perfect then the good old ‘just a bit more’ and snap!!! Jon Shuker worked wonders on it though.

.... on a different note: I've just got a Yamaha MD BT01 Bluetooh MIDI controller and the Touch OSC app for my iPhone SE. I've managed to get most things working, however I can't work out a way to have a bank up/bank down command. The preset up down works via emulating FS 1 and FS 2, but I can't find a way of going up banks as opposed to presets. Anyone managed to do this?

Cheers, makes sense to me now as I’m sure it wasn’t there before lol 😆

.... I’m trying to use GarageBand as the DAW on my iPhone. I’ve got a laptop and Reaper but want a super simple solution for recording when practicing.

... when using the Apple Camera kit I’ve had to turn down the USB 1/2 trim as it was way too loud compared to my bass (ow set at -20 db). However need to look at some of the suggested options, cheers.

.... same here Luke, anyone know how to get a better signal into GarageBand (using an iPhone SE into HX Stomp via an Apple camera kit).

Thanks, just hadn’t noticed it before lol!
