My favourite mistake (although I never talk about it...): Busy venue, long summer playing horrible covers in long gigs... song begins, few bars playing a two chord intro... We all inmediately noticed something odd, but couldn't quite see what it was... Time passes by, singer tries couple of times to enter, looks confused and desists... we keep on playing... And suddently I realize I'm playing 4 strings instead of 5, so I move my hand one string lower and endure the killing looks from everyone around me with a brave face....

Ta!

Hi there. I'm using a couple of EHX effects in my pedalboard with a mini jack power input,and I need and adaptor to conect them to a daisy chain (trying not to use all the outs in my power unit).Thing is, I went to Maplins and either they don't have anything like that or I was unlucky with the shop assistant.... Then tried Denmark Street and everyone kept on telling me to try Maplins.... Any ideas? Cheers.

I'll certainly check those PP3'S!

Thanks,mate! I'm not thinking on changing the electronics,I love the sound! But yesterday,after a very long rehearsal,I noticed a degradation of the sound, and the battery is quite new (4/5 weeks),so my idea is to add an on/off switch to cut completely the battery from the preamp when I'm not using it.... Cheers

Hi there, I have a bit of a technical issue with my new second-hand TRB, so I'm copying here my original post from the "Repairs" topic. Any comment will be welcome! [quote name='lucatus' timestamp='1330514168' post='1558544'] Help! Well, this is my second (and beloved) Yamaha TRB MIJ, and is the second where I found a bit of a problem: You can't cut the sound completely with the volume pot. Somehow there's always a tiny bit. In both cases the battery life is reduced drastically (my previous bass swallowed 1 every two months...) I'm just wondering, am I the only one whit this issues? My new one is second hand, but the previous one came straight from factory, so it looks like some defective batch... [/quote]

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1324460471' post='1474355'] I have a Lace Helix Bass with them. They have a fairly open hi-fi sound, but the output is very low. Probably the quietest pickups I own. [/quote] Thanks for the answer! I suppose the Fender preamp would compensate for the low output... What do you mean exactly with "hi-fi" sound? Cheers!

Hi there, Has anyone tried the Lace Alumitone pickups? I'm quite curious about them and might be upgrading my Fender P American Deluxe with them... Cheers!
