Thanks for the review! I'm learning drums and I'm keeping a keen eye on the relevant developments in hardware and software. I'm probably going to build a DIY electronic kit within the next year or two and this would be perfect. Looking forward to hearing more sound samples. Do you know how many kits are included in EZ2? Is it just analogue kits?

Trouble soldering a wire back onto the output jack
Davebassics replied to ChaosAD's topic in Repairs and Technical
Don't worry your not the first! The lads at work are always switching my solder for wire. -
Not porn but definitely DIY! My own bass preamp. It never left the prototype phase, mainly because it worked. More info [url="http://audiodomain.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/bit-of-tangent.html"]HERE[/url]

Half price LCD solder station at Maplins - £30
Davebassics replied to lemmywinks's topic in Accessories and Misc
Would be useful when it comes to multi layered PCBs with annoying ground planes that suck the heat away. My experience with maplins soldering irons has been varied. I had one were the handle melted and another where the tips corroded within a week. My first soldering iron from maplins lasted me 4 years and costed £3.99. Those were the days! -

Pick up only from where? -
Never played a fretless musicman before, looks fantastic though. I might be in the Northeast within the next few weeks as well! tempting -
[quote name='yepmop' timestamp='1338207833' post='1670763'] Yeah good read, especially as i'm doing something similar, how long did it take to strip the original paint off? [/quote] It took about 2 full days. If I could offer some advice it would be take your time around the edges. Looking back at my project, the outer edges could be a lot smoother. Not bad though. I'm going to tackle the electronics issues this week. Potentially get it looked at professionally if I still can't sort it.

I've been restoring my jazz bass over the past months and been blogging as I go. I'm glad to say, I'm almost done. Got a slight issue with the electronics but that will get sorted out after my holidays! You can check out the progress at my blog [url="http://allthatjazzbass.blogspot.co.uk/"]All That Jazz Bass[/url] New Specs:[list] [*]Vintage White [*]Sadowsky Preamp [*]Dimarzio Ultra Jazz Pickups [*]Precision Neck [*]Badass II Bridge [/list] I've attached the before and after photos! I've got 30 minutes left of my degree this morning then I'm straight off to sunny gran canaria for a holiday! See you all in a week!

Would like to pay my respects to the bassist who most influenced and shaped my blues bass playing. I remember looking at his bass in hard rock orlando, I was in awe. R.I.P Donald Duck Dunn

Bump, Needs to go ... offers? Getting eBayed at the weekend if still no interest.
-
Great stuff, I'm following. I've really got into blogging. Power amps are way out of my domain, makes for great reading.
-
Will definitely be checking this out once I've moved house and jobs and finished Uni. Jazz bassist = Long term ambition.
-
You will need a screened balanced cable. So, XLR/TRS ect. I've got plenty of stuff knocking about if this interests you?

Just bought a Squier neck off Mark. Helped me all the way through, very knowledgable bloke. Don't hesitate to do business with Mark. Dave

Just sold some pickups and control plate to matt. Great to deal with, no problems. Please buy/sell with confidence.

Perfect world theoretical scenario: A active bass output should be around +4dBu line level, 9v is more than enough to give +12dBu output. A 18v preamp you could theoretically push +18dBu. This is regardless of the class operation of the preamp. Most input stages can handle a +24dBu input so this shouldn't be an issue.
-
Bump - Would consider offers.
-
Class B for me! Maybe Class A in the Winter.

If I wasn't building my Jazz to be like this I would be all over it! Annoying!

Having a clear out as I'm currently making plans immigrate south (and maybe beyond!) [s][b]Dr All Parts P Bass Neck - £45 Shipped.[/b][/s][b] SOLD[/b] Bought this off mojobass earlier this year. It has never beed used and is in brand new condition. It fits onto my Squier Jazz Bass. I was going to use it as part of my jazz bass project (see signature) but I'm looking to change it for a rosewood neck. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:105183] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:105178] [s][b]American Fender Jazz S1 Switching pups and fully loaded control play. - £50 shipped[/b][/s][b] SOLD[/b] Bought these off bass doc about a year or so ago. Been in my Squier since and they have been a phenomenal upgrade. I can supply with wiring diagram but they aren't hard to find ont he internet. The series/parallel switch is great, gives a passive bass great versatility. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:105181] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:105180] [b]Digidesign mbox 2 Pro - £200 shipped[/b] I understand there has been some confusion regarding the advertising of hardware and software recording devices on this forum. If I have broken any rules, please contact me and I will take the advert off. Great audio interface, 2 Mix preamps, 2 Line in, Monitor Outs, 6 Line outs, 2 Headphone Outs w/ MIDI and S/PDIF. Comes with Pro Tools 8, Firewire cable & two professional balanced TRS->XLR cables. These are discontinued now but if you find them, they retail at around £500. [sharedmedia=core:attachments:105179]

Maybe the line out of the amp was connected to a mic preamp on the FOH desk. A line level signal will drive a mic preamp pretty hard (would almost definitely need padding). I think mic preamps have lower input impedances than line inputs, this might effect the tone of the output from the amp. But saying that, it would decrease the top end not increase it.
-
I agree. In no way shape or form does my current design have any commercial potential so I'm really effected (give me 10 years). I would imagine that there are large numbers of students who come out of uni with a product they could take into a market, I feel sorry for them.

[quote name='charic' timestamp='1334056239' post='1610146'] It's worth remembering that anything you create while you're at uni is actually the uni's property for (I think) 5 years. [/quote] I'm planning to redesign the vast majority of the circuit once im finished anyways. Not happy with this first design!
