I had a dig around and found a strap with original Schallers on it (I'm sure there is some mysterious being that hides my straps, I should have about 20 knocking around). That fits the S-locks OK. I have arrived at a tentative theory, that one of the improvements made to the originals was to reduce their rattling, and this was done by making the strap buttons very slightly bigger - .1mm wider and .1mm more from the top of the button to the channel that the lock goes into. If the Bostons were made with the original strap button dimensions and the strap locks a tiny bit smaller than original Schallers, that would have reduced the rattle but meant that the tighter tolerance locks wouldn't fit the larger S-lock buttons.

I encountered a rather puzzling issue on Monday at rehearsal - the strap I'd taken, equipped with Schaller-compatible straplocks by Boston, wouldn't fit onto the Schaller-equipped Ibanez EHB I'd taken. Once home, I checked, and the Boston straplocks fitted happily onto my Warwicks which were equipped with Schallers. The difference is that the Warwicks have original Schallers on, the Ibanez has Schaller S-locks on. I got the trusty digital calipers out and checked the diameters. The original Schallers are 11.95-12mm, the new ones are 12.1-12.15mm. I have several basses fitted with original Schallers or Bostons, and two or three with S-locks, so I have taken a sample. I feel an email to Schaller coming on.

I prefer neck-through basses so it's unlikely I'd buy one.

Do you mean the one for the Dwarf? Just get a 5.5/2.1 right-angle connector off Ebay, cut the old end off and solder it on with the right polarity. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261536704983

That happened to me once, but I've had no problems since I stopped wrapping the lead round the PSU and just wrapped it up in its own little loop, secured with a velcro cable tie. I don't want a mains lead coming onto the stage - I secure a single DC extension lead to the jack-jack lead running from pedalboard to amp and put the wall wart in the socket next to the one I use for the amp. Then again, I'm mounting the multifx (HX Stomp, possibly to be replaced by the MOD Dwarf) on a pedalboard with wireless, volume pedal, power supply, MIDI switchbox, and Squishbox (if needed) so the DC power leads are all in stable positions.

Now I know someone who's got me on their ignore list. Page 2.

Aaaaaaa Gaaaaaa Do, do, do, push pineapple, shake a tree Agado, do, do, push pineapple, grind covfefe Sorry, "coffee".

Put it towards whatever motorcycle I replace my Triumph Tiger 800 with.

The Warwick JD Thumb is still here, 7 years on. I should also add my Sei Original 5-string fretless that I've had since 2011/2012.

Rubber strings so no magnetic pickup, piezo pickup under the bridge.

Just three notes for this too.

Dinosaurs can't be bass players.

Marc Bolan was another writer of obscure lyrics, from the psychedelia of Tyrannosaurus Rex ("Great horsey champer gold braid, pranced proudly in the garden villas with the Sun, dipped diving with his horned onyx, saddle shining in the black aped eyeballs of the gun. When the great apple falls, she'll be queen of your halls.") to the random lyrics of T Rex ("Metal guru, is it you? Sitting there in your armour plated chair. Metal guru, could it be, you're going to bring my baby to me? She'll be wild, you know, a rock and roll child").

Taking on @BigRedX's mantle for a moment, if the item includes a soft case or a lined hard case and it has come from a smoking household, be prepared to air it in a shed or similar external shelter with occasional squirts of Febreze for the next year.

"wrist" is in there too.

It had the seal of approval from the court. There was a porpoise, to form an alliance with France. Whales, however, was excluded.

I use wireless for everything including rehearsals - saves stepping on or getting caught in a lead, plus I can walk over to the mixer to play with vocal levels. I use them for home practice too. I have a cheap Lekato twin bug wireless for rehearsals and home (though I have used it for gigs too) and either a Smoothhound or a Line 6 G50 for gigs.

I've put myself down for the MOD Dwarf although I haven't got up to speed with it yet, it will potentially supplant my HX Stomp.

Romeo was 16 and Juliet 13. 15-year-old Mary Queen of Scots married the 14-year-old Dauphin.

Just make sure you wear latex gloves and don't go picking up any old perfume bottles.

Possibly "Fender shaped object" but ICBW.

Still trying to work out what the best for resale value would be. It's not easy because so many people on here have orgasms at every dull as ditchwater P or J that there's a picture of. I reckon a 4-string fretted P in oly white or lake placid blue, tort pickguard, standard electronics and then I could name my price.

Ocean loners? The people who go on cruises in the hope of meeting someone?

That's the one, only with the three-pronged UK adaptor on it.

That's easy, just make it headless.
