I do have shorter ones but I had envisaged needing something longer maybe? You think it'll be ok going at it in small runs?

My tests are never scientific but having used my main gigging rig in the same surroundings as I've now been using the Elf, I'll be amazed if I can't gig it through 2 twelves. I remember turning up at a gig in Bath once. Zero parking anywhere at the venue and I'd been told it was really small so I took my little TC Electronic combo with me. I figured if I end up walking with all my gear I need to travel light. It's 250 watts at four ohm but I'm only running it on it's own so not even that much. I get there and it is indeed a tiny space. The space we're playing in that is, not the actual venue which disappears off into the distance like something you'd expect to find in Wookey Hole. PA is small vocal thing and anyway with five vocals and various acoustic instruments there's no room at the inn for my bass. I ran that little 2X8 combo flat out, and you know what? It coped just fine. I think I often over estimate how much ooomf I need for any given gig. My first gigging rig was a Carlsboro Cobra 90 through a Laney 4X10 cab and I don't ever remember feeling I was under powered.

I have first to make my surgical incision along the side to separate the finish. I want to do as little damage as possible as refinishing is without doubt not in my skillset. The only straight edge I own I converted to a notched straight edge for fretwork so I may have to order one in. Slight delay at the start of this project to gather necessary bits.

For those, like me, who hadn't seen this

Ah of course, sorry 😅😅😅

Thank you everyone, especially @Andyjr1515without your post I would have snapped the fretboard within the first half an hour, if not sooner.

Watched a ton of videos on this, thought I'd share just one I stumbled across. It's not hugely relevant in this particular case, but I feel the guy explains stuff lucidly and I wanted to make others aware of his channel.

My take on this is it is extremely versatile. The eq section is really useful. There is no loss of bottom end. Treat the drive as if it were your gain, the level as if it were your master and those make sense. The voice is like another overdrive, getting a balance between voice and drive is i suspect, the trick. Hard to tell from a recording but when you're in the room this adds an almost tangible thickness to the sound. It goes from grubby, through dirty and filthy to absolutely obscene. I homnestly can't imagine what overdrive sound a bass player would want that this can't do. Except fuzz. It's not a fuzz box.

I've already done this and it sheared the end off.

Single action. Thanks Jabba.

A good way in. I used some as a kind of starting point while I was learning the software but I don't think I ever used one live.

The presets are notorious.

So can I get the scalpel out then?

I was quite looking forward to it. Nothing to lose and all that.

OK, but it won't show a join of any sort it's all painted

I bought it many moons ago and didn't understand a word he said. It is therefore possible I'm misquoting him. Apologies if that was unclear.

Nope

Hard to show the full awfullness in one short video, after all there are a huge number of effects all with many parameters. Tell us, which is your least favourite?

Headphones or speakers, it's bass after all.

I think it was the discussion on the american Sound.

In the lockdown online shopping has become a sort of self generated secret santa. Combine this with a predeliction for buying stuff late at night regardless of need or the emptiness of my bank balance and odd things happen. Like this turning up long after I'd forgotten ordering it. Of course it might have been ordered very recently but I don't know the month never mind the day at the moment. I'll fire it up for you let you know what I think.

Sorry, I mean the nut wouldn't turn any more, it just sheared off the end of the rod

Problem is its not turning. That's what I have done. I nibbled a bit of wood to expose some more thread put a washer tried to tighten it and the end of the rod sheared off. It must be stuck solid somehow.
