Ideally you need to find someone who has a tube tester who can check them individually. Unfortunately the only guy that I know of who might be able to help is in my part of the world. I doubt that it's the 12AX7s as they go on for years however I seem to remember that a number of problems with the output tubes surfaced not long after the Prodigy was launched. Have you tried reseating them all?

There's always the Bacchus Mini Jazz. [url="https://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/"]https://www.deviser-bacchus.com/products/universe-series-bass/wjb-mini/[/url] Available from The Guitar Den.

I have one and strung with cut-down flats sounds just like a full size Precision. Very rare. Someone please buy it.

and it's not even a real Jazz, it's a PJ.

Some years ago I had them do some routing on a Lakland Duck Dunn. They put in cut-outs for a bridge jazz pick-up, side jack and a rear battery box. Having explained what I wanted done they sent me a quote, I then sent them just the body and it came back perfect a couple of weeks later.

My pair - both short scale

I've been using Sadowsky Flats. They are available 40-125 and 45-130. Made for them by LaBella. Not easily obtainable in the UK but I have bought several sets from this Polish Ebay seller without any problem.

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1481830507' post='3195580'] Is it the one we talked about previously? If so, I want to try!!!!! [/quote] As my Grandmother used to say "Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies"

[quote name='walbassist' timestamp='1481815214' post='3195394'] Do tell us more Dave [/quote] That would be for me to know and you to guess.

Just recently got hooked onto Spector having bought a Shorty. Just pulled the trigger on another, not a Shorty but short scale.

[quote name='owen' timestamp='1481291683' post='3191280'] I am totally interested in pics! [/quote] See post #6.

[quote name='Freddy Le Cragg' timestamp='1481360886' post='3191700'] Hey ho. Do you still have this? [/quote] Yes I still have two of them. If you want one then please PM me.

[quote name='Rumple' timestamp='1481311045' post='3191478'] Thanks for that, as a side note I also learned what OBBM stands for [/quote] Drat. My secret is out.

Good luck Owen, sounds like a worthwhile project. I have done something similar which I took to the SE Bash in September. My regular but occasional gig means that I can sit down so my idea was an active drum throne with the option of in-ear monitors. Firstly I picked up a used drum throne and then a butt-kicker from Thomann. I wanted to keep the electronics as compact as possible so looked for half-rack width units. I bought a 4U half width rack which is fitted with the following: 4-channel stereo mixer with channel direct outs - this takes the bass DI plus PA monitor or maybe just a mic on the kick drum In-ear transmitter which can also be used as a headphone driver for wired in-ears Sub-woofer filter to stop anything above about 200Hz going to the butt kicker Extron XPA1002 2-channel power amp - one channel for the butt kicker, one channel spare. I'm sure that Bluejay took a photo at the Bash but I'll take some pix later and add them if anyone is interested The signal path was a tad more complicated

I joined bassworld back in 2002 when there were less than 100 members. I've seen it morph through various incarnations. If you search though web archives there is a snapshot of what bassworld was like.

Here's my recently acquired Spector Shorty and my Westfield 24-inch scale Precision with a larger cousin.

Having recently changed to a Spector Shorty fretted bass I am now considering a short scale fretless. Does anyone have any experience of or played the Spector Carved Top NS2 CTB 4 Fretless? There is a demo video on the Bass Direct site but it's rather poor, the demo that is not the bass.

[quote name='Staggering on' timestamp='1480372820' post='3183924'] Unfortunately the person in the shop that sold me the cable(for over $40.00Canadian) did not know this.Before I ordered the Planet Waves cable I emailed them and they assured me their plug works with active and silent and silent pickups and it does but I have also had issues with the jack coming loose in the combination socket (XLR and standard)of the Bose PA we use and it does not fit tightly in my amp.I solved the PA problem by going to a DI box and then XLR into the PA-problem solved for now but I guess I should change the amp end jack to simplify things.I just looked at the Neutrik site and couldn't find the information you refer to above-is it well hidden or am I missing something.

[quote name='pineweasel' timestamp='1480372050' post='3183910'] According to Wikipedia it's the plug diameter: [url="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio"]https://en.m.wikiped...onnector_(audio[/url]) [/quote] According to Switchcraft it's the socket. I know who I believe.
