    I still reckon they’ll take a look at it for you.

    Have you contacted Ashdown about this - their after sales service is pretty legendary?

    I think you pay extra for one that hasn’t been, erm, ‘improved’…

    Never played a fender Rumble, but I’ve played a couple of SX Jazz basses and they’ve all been superb instruments. GLWTS

    Dave Hall pedals have an internal ‘charge pump’ that doubled the voltage internally, so a 9v dc supply would become 18 by the time it hit the components. I tried my DHA deals at 12v, then experimented with them at 9v - there was a noticeable difference in the sound; the break up came in earlier and the tone control didn’t sound as good.

    This is an incredibly beautiful song.

    Ooh, yes please, PMed

    Look interesting. Might have to give that a go.

    Let’s be honest, this could be your pedalboard!

    More of a slant than a twist! That’s going to look great!

    Now with picture bump.

    Just measured mine with a digital calliper, and these sizes are correct.

    Cards on the table for everyone. Just because you’re not gigging don’t assume that the project has no merit; the benefits to mental health of leaving the house once a week to do something that you love shouldn’t be underestimated. It may be that you all decide to wait for the drummer, and enjoy a weekly meet up and bit of a social, or you get a different drummer in. No good can come from keeping secrets from only some of the band, and I think it’s unfortunate that the drummist has put you in this position.

    Lovely compressor, GLWTS

    I’ll measure them when I get home, just on a gig at the moment. 👍🏻

    I adore soldering with 60/40, but have switched over to lead free recently. It took a lot of effort initially, but with practice (and a slightly higher temperature) I got there in the end. @neepheid - 2mm!? Are you a plumber? 😄

    but they sure sound great! It sounded less good when he played on MJ's 'Beat It'.

    My experience of ‘wagon wheel’ prior to it being called at my only rehearsal before a few dep gigs was of a slightly disappointing chocolate-esque biscuit.

    This. This is the reason we get paid for it; we provide a service to venues so they can draw punters in. Most of the material for covers/function gigs I’ve done has been outside of my usual listening repertoire. If you don’t want to play it, don’t take the gig.

    Definitely shield the cavities - that's one of the best, cheapest mods you can make to a bass. series/parallel is a great option for a more punchy, mid-range sound. I've put Wilkinson pickups in all my basses (J, P and MM), and much prefer the sound of them to the 'Duncan Designed' that some of them came with, but it's like a singer' microphone choice - there's just no alternative to testing out as many as you can and finding which ones work best for you.
