Or you could buy My ACG which would enable me to buy Mertons ACG 😉(see my thread!)

Big thanks to @Hellzero - leads swapped over and we're firing on all cylinders again now! Great pool of knowledge on this forum!!

Great thanks! Appreciate your help and I fully concur with keeping on the good side of the family! 😊

Some progress! Attempting to get my head around the manual! By using the adapter pictured below, it works perfectly, does that confirm the two wires on the output jack are reversed?

Wouldn't it still happen when connected with a cable as well though?

Here's my Ibanez SRMD205 Mezzo. It's been given the vinyl wrap treatment. Happy with how it's turned out visually but now, when I plug the transmitter of my WAZA Air Bass into the jack, it sounds like an industrial steam hammer! A constant repetitive loud banging sound through the headphones irrespective of whether the strings or audio is being played. It worked perfectly before the wrap and works perfectly when connected with a cable to my amp or Korg Pandora. The WAZA works perfectly with all my other basses, active or passive. I've changed the battery of the bass as a matter of course and poked around the wiring in the cavity to no avail. I can only assume the Vinyl wrap must have some kind of RF shielding capability or something... Have a listen..... Waza.m4a Any thoughts?

Have you considered a vinyl wrap? There's a couple of topics on here .....

So, a bit of a dilemma! You may have seen the ad for my ACG which is up for sale due to me suffering wrist issues, making long scale instruments too painful to play for any length of time. I have recently been playing a loaned 32” scale Ibanez and found the smaller scale really encouraging in terms of playing comfort with the wrist condition. I also have a Marusczyck Elwood long scale which has some cosmetic damage to the headstock, another great bass but unlikely to realise its potential sale value with the damage. Now I could get it repaired which could cost a couple of hundred quid or take a hit and sell it as it is. I would then need to spend out on a medium scale bass if I want to keep playing. I had a thought that maybe getting a 32” neck built might be an option… I don’t even know if it’s possible to attach a different scale neck to an existing instrument so I might be barking up the wrong tree or the cost might be prohibitive…It’s a really nice bass and would be great to be able to keep at least one (or part of) the basses that have kept me GAS free for a few years… Any thoughts….?

Anyone else never heard of this band from the 70's? Can't imagine why they never gained a higher profile, some very talented ladies .... I'm looking forward to doing some more research although a google search might reveal some dubious results given the name!! Enjoy

I have one I am about to put up for sale, it's been my back up and never been used in anger! I am gradually selling all my gear as I am no longer gigging. PM for a good price!!

If you can wait until October, take a day out and head down the M5 to the Southwest Bass Bash, there will be all manner of 5 string instruments for you to try out. There's a thread on here somewhere from last years event which should give an idea what to expect. Other bashes are probably available, maybe even a midlands one. You won't find a better showroom!

Something like this might work............ Ikea

Just sold Mike a set of strings, immediate payment and quickly responds to messages. I’d have no hesitation in dealing with him again in the future. One of the good guys!!
