I think I can turn the horn off, I'll take a look. Thanks Lozz
-
Awesome thanks mate. Don't know what yours was like but this is a kind of pressure cooker shhhh in time with the bottom notes.
-
Unfortunately I'm hearing something untoward from the extension cab. Could be something vibrating somewhere, but sounds horribly like the speaker not handling bottom end very well. Not going to despair yet. I've played it with the Elf and I don't recall any issues. Might just be something in the room. I'll move it when I get a chance and try it again.

Found an assortment of problems. Two cables trapped between pots and scratchplate, both severed to varying degrees. Two different connectors on pots bent together and shorting. Tested continuity everywhere and now all is well but the sound is extremely quiet and fuzzy. I'm going to get a new battery just in case.

Can't stand these hard Lionels, my bums going numb sat here.

Stop scratching boy, people will think you have fleas. Sorry sir, its this jumper me mum knitted, making me right Lionel it is.
-
Ooh, scuse me, you might want to open the window. Had a jalfreizi last night and I just cut a nasty Lionel.

Stay with your senses, I can't afford it yet. Leave your senses the moment I say the word.

Space between d and g does look a lot wider (even allowing for string thickness) than the rest

Hang on I may have found it! Red wire trapped under the pot. It comes from battery
-
Yes, definitely bass. It's active BTW. Battery checked.

Item: One bass guitar. Problem : No noise comes out. Available tools : multimeter, screwdrivers, pliers, axe, soldering iron. Done so far: had a look inside for unattached wiring. Success so far: nil.

Yeah, I hear you, I wonder if justification might be a better word.

I am thinking of getting my 5 er down from the loft. I used to play 5s almost exclusively (see also fretless) but decided I hadn't come close to knowing what I was doing on a 4 yet, so parked the 5s. Just this morning I'm learning a line and spending quite a lot of time working out when to play one part up around fifth and seventh, then the easiest way to get back to first and third for the low F. On a 5 this would all be played in the same position. You do know if you get one you'll get two don't you? I mean if you're gigging and your bass stops working then you need a back up right?

That's a tasty set up. I might have to run the rm through a BF 15 or two, see how it goes.

My idiot band mates say its orange, but it's clearly a shade of salmon pink.

Thank you! My first ever musician crush.

Some access holes leave little space for a normal Allen key, with a right angle you come hard up against a string having barely turned the nut, this just looks better and more user friendly.

This is why I can't buy such a beautiful bass. I have one expensive (to me) instrument and I never use it for fear of damage. This is even more stunning. -
This is a travel bass I bought when I was cycling to and from rehearsals. I am now old and fat and have no intention of behaving in such a fashion ever again. I have gigged with this - even though it's not really intended for such shenanigans. But the neck (24 frets) is actually very nice and the pick up too. It dives a bit on a strap, as you might expect, with it hardly having a body at all. Strung with flats, it has a new TRC and scratchplate, but the originals will be included. It comes in its own little zip up (unpadded) soft case. There are a few light scuffs and scratches on the back which I struggled to photograph and one ding down near the volume knob (pictured). Overall though its in pretty good nick, and if you fancied whipping one out on a bus, this would be ideal. Pick it up for 60 quid, or put a fiver towards postage and I'll courier it to anywhere mainland UK. -
Wish my wife would go pick up a valve head and a four by twelve for me. Oh wait. I haven't got a wife. Dammit. Absolutely love the look of that rig.

That's good to hear. Any company can have something go pear shaped, it's how they deal with the problem.
-
Thanks so much for saying so. I'm working on the layout more now. As I start working through the bassline I've already uncovered one wrong chord, but I took that as a plus - I noticed it!
