Mrs Zero and I used that for our wedding walk down the aisle at the registry office.

And Black Friday.

What about Chuck Barry?

Considering that a short scale has two differences to a long scale - shorter distance between equivalent frets, for the more delicately handed, and shorter reach to the first fret, for the non-Warwick Thumb-inclined, these only tick one of the boxes. Also the lump of metal which counterbalances the ugly lump of wood stuck out needlessly far into space has been moved to a position where it counterbalances it less so it will be more neck-divey. One step forward (for the short scale lover) and two steps back.

I have one of the Jamstik guitars I mentioned above, and there's a small hex key like a little starting handle (I'm sure most BCers are old enough to remember when cars had starting handles) which can be used to turn the little wheels. It's attached to the bridge magnetically and tucked in neatly so you don't have to worry about losing it or forgetting it.

The most obvious answer is that the wires from the pickup that buzzes are reversed, so the ground side is connected to where the hot side should be. If the connection to the pickup is through solder pads on the bottom of the pickup, just unsolder them at the solder pads and reverse the wires.

Ta. I'll give that a whirl in ten days when I'm back there (probably won't have completed the cab by then anyway).

OP hasn't been here for 9 years.

Does this mean that there's a chance that they'll fit the OLP Tony Levin? Nut width 45mm. Width at 12th fret 61.5mm. Width at 22nd fret 69mm. Depth at 1st fret 21.8mm. Depth at 12th fret 23.6. Heel thickness c 27.8mm. Neck pocket - 93mm long Distance from 12th fret to end of heel pocket - c 203mm

Headstock looks like a Reverend one chopped off at the end. This is why headless basses are the future.

A stable? I thought it was a Community Centre. Might bridle at that.

I see there's some compliments on the 8" speaker - any detailed commentary on the speaker shoot out, either here or in Amps and Cabs?

After using the shitty house Orange 50W bass combo a couple of times at a local open mic (absolutely dreadful, the front end goes into clipping almost instantly even with the pad on), I thought I'd build one of these to pair either with a TC BAM200 or Tecamp Puma 900 to use there. Interestingly, a search on Ebay for the Fane Sovereign 225-8 gave various results with shipping costs being displayed but when I clicked on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/125957204831 it showed shipping as zero instead of a few quid, so that's the one. A trip to B&Q beckons - I think I'll eschew their free cutting service, the last time I took advantage of it didn't fill me with confidence. Looks like materials cost should come in at around £90 given that I have several speakers worth of drainpipe in the shed.

Sounds like my system with fretless. Play enough short notes fast enough and nobody notices that they're not in tune.

Don't be too hasty, something else may turn up. Hope it all turns out well for you.

Radio series (since repeated), then book, then TV series, and eventually a terrible film. There is a book of the radio scripts available too, there are five books in the original trilogy, and there's a quite poor sixth book by Eoin Colfer with an accompanying not terribly good radio series.

Ebay, Gumtree, Facebook marketplace. You'll get chancers on all of them.

Is that a headless Sei Flamboyant next to the red Rick? Thought it was a Warwick for a second from the back/side view with the mix of woods.

With the Bonnevilles at the Wagon Load of Lime last night - a bit tight for space with the bikes around us (that's a T140V Bonneville behind the guitarist and the front wheel of a pre-unit 650 Triton poking out in front of me). A bit more visible in this shot. Tablet is for the set list and brief notes on a couple of the songs. The all-important glasses. Should be getting more bookings next year, and some for my other band too (if we can negotiate a better fee). Same rig and footwear as last night. More relaxed as I don't do the PA. No pale ales in the pub. Sharp's Doom Bar and Sea Fury only, so resorted to Madri.

Just had a short play with it to confirm. Yes, it's boost/cut, just doesn't have a centre detente. As bass amps all have their own characteristic pre-baked EQ curves, centre detentes are a bit meaningless anyway. I think the reviewer doesn't understand the MID controls - the manual explains it, very briefly. It's a sweepable mid, with a MID FREQ control to set the frequency to cut/boost (200Hz to 2kHz) and a MID control to do the cutting/boosting.

Says that the EQ is boost only. All the other reviews I've seen say it's boost and cut. I shall have more of a play tomorrow.

You could use a powerblock - admittedly you'd still need a cable between light and powerblock, but you wouldn't need a mains socket for it. I've got five of them incoming for the grand total of £11 (two for £4.50 and a minimum order of £10), so need to think about how to power them.

For a second there I thought you were talking about well polished boots.
