The progress so far - I'm a little bit underwhelmed to be honest... [attachment=147991:2013-11-09 11.24.59.jpg] Apologies for the massive spot - I've had to make some fairly radical dietary changes this week on doctor's orders.

A BDI21 saves the day? What, again?! About the best use of £30 you could think of.
-
Good job! Looks lovely.

Nice that! -
I've never bothered - if you're using lead solder it melts at a lower temperature than the lead free stuff. I tend to socket ICs though, just to be on the safe side. Preparation is key though; make sure the component is in place before soldering it, that way the iron's not heating it for any longer than it needs to.

sold now.

Bought some knobs from Nigel - really quick, painless experience. Top knobbing!

Sharp notes? That's one louder innit?

Mmmm, poly box caps.

Does any one know of a simple gain booster circuit?

I'll knock you one together for the cost of the parts if you want. -
Definitely John Giblin. Such a lyrical player and a great tone too.

It doesn't look like mush, just an aluminium faceplate with 3 knobs on it in my rack. Sounds like this though... https://soundcloud.com/paul_5/sets/valve-o-d-unit

Finally parting with my Dave Hall pedal after many, many happy sessions with it. I'm streamlining my rig and unfortunately this is just too big for what I need . [attachment=147753:2013-11-06 12.01.02.jpg] Included in the sale is a 12v centre positive PSU. The only issue with this unit is that the headphone output only passes signal to the left channel, other than that everything works as you would expect. [b]withdrawn[/b] -
[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1383685430' post='2267753'] Who would want to pull a speaker jack out whilst under power? [/quote] guitarists?

Boxed it up today and looking forward to putting it in place tomorrow. The idea is this: Using the crossover on the back of my SWR SM400 head I intend to send the high frequencies (350Hz or so and up) to the valve O/D and leave the fundamentals (up to E at the edge of the fretboard) untouched. We shall see...

strings and finger noise...are some quieter than others?
paul_5 replied to iconic's topic in Bass Guitars
Halfrounds are available too and claim to offer the best of both worlds. -
I know that this is all subjective, but I really like Presto. For me the songwriting was really strong on that album, the sound of the album is massively over-polished, and Alex's guitars are übertinny but I really like the songs.

I've got Counterparts on vinyl tucked away upstairs, I might give it a spin this week...

[quote name='Prime_BASS' timestamp='1383554086' post='2265655'] Post it on photobucket and then paste the html link it gives you for posting on the internet. [/quote] yup - photobucket for me too.

Or you could go for option B: If you don't want it and she wants to assuage some guilt then she could buy it for me - she'll feel better for it, you won't have a bass that you don't really like and I'll be happy as Larry. No? Worth a try!

P basses. I tried one when I first started playing years (and years) ago, and thought they were 'old man' basses. I wouldn't say that I love them, but I'm certainly more enthusiastic about them as I approach the big 40... ..and a HUGE +1 for Dandelion's 'sobriety and slippers' manifesto!

I used some aluminium tape that I found in Aldi a couple of months ago - Aluminium is really good at magnetic shielding too! It's supposed to be for pipes or gutters or something of that ilk, but it's really good at bass cavities as well.

Ooh, go on then. I'll take those please -
Forget Me Nots pretty much note for note...

[quote name='nottswarwick' timestamp='1383393018' post='2263949'] [media]http://youtu.be/ftQFj7LnaRQ[/media] I just did a quick version on my P with flats on it to show the difference in tone. [/quote] Nice. Right up to the last bit where you tried to grab my sandwich...
