neepheid Posted May 31 Posted May 31 My conscience is clear. I entered with the best of intentions, but when you're nearly 50 and a bass comes on the market which has been living rent free in your head for 12 or so years, you don't hesitate. Life is for living - you can't take it with you etc. But I am 100% out. Try again next year. There is no redemption - I am comfortable with the notion that I'm going straight to hell anyway 3 Quote

Just awaiting the legal team at the bank signing some documents and the builders move in… 2 1 Quote

Richard R Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 (edited) You mean - it goes beyond eleven??? On the plus side it's progress since you so spectacularly failed to sell the Ripper last year. Looking forward to the thread and the finished result. In case there is anyone here who has no idea what we are on about, it's all in this thread: You need to read at least the first few pages, and the last couple.

mr zed Posted June 2 Posted June 2 I'm out! Succumbed to a Helix LT. I thought I would have cracked it this year but a quick play through our guitarists LT told me all I needed to know. Fantastic bit of kit and no regrets. Be gentle with me. 6 Quote

BillyBass Posted 19 hours ago Posted 19 hours ago I just ordered a new pedal board and a power supply will be coming next week too. So I suppose I'm out too now. Quote
TimR Posted 17 hours ago Posted 17 hours ago Under "breakages" I have ordered a new volume pot. The old one crackles like mad amd no amount of Servicol switch cleaner will resolve. It's going to be a bit of a mission to replace as the new pot isn't a straight swap. The old one is soldered to the preamp board and is much longer. This one will have to be fitted to the bass body and have extension wires to the preamp. 1 Quote

I would say out on T2, but I think not on T1. The pedals are in the signal chain, but not the board or the PSU. Quote
