The second paragraph you come to, in a big orange box, says So, if you're a UK-based private seller, you don't pay final value fees, and if you don't sell more than 300 items a month and don't use reserve prices then the listings will be free too.

Charging is via the stereo jack, which is also how the power switching on an active bass is done. What you need is a little mono jack male to mono jack female extension cable - plug the plug into the bass, plug the bug into the extension lead socket. Other alternative - swap the wires to the sleeve and ring on the jack socket (see next page).

Budget? GR Bass combos are under 10kg for an 800W 1x12 (puts out 500W into the internal speaker, a second 8ohm cab gets it up to 800W) but they're a bit over £1k. Is there a particular reason for choosing a combo rather than separates?

Not sure about the strap button positioning. The front one will tend to tip the bass forward, the rear one is presumably placed there so it doesn't push the bass to the left but it means either putting the strap over the front (ugly), over the rear (will tip it forward), or running it along the end/side round the point which would have exactly the same effect as putting the strap button close to the point. Still, if there's only going to be 12 of them, they'll all finish up in display cases so NS can come up with a slightly revised design more aimed at playing than looking good (and I do think it looks good although I'm sure there will be a fair few disagreeing with me there).

They say it'll only be 12 on the web page you linked to. However, there will be more non-limited edition ones, presumably 5-strings as well as 6, as they say it's a new generation rather than just the limited edition model.

I've already said how it could be done simply - 2.5 female which would have two leads coming from it, one 2.5 and one 2.1. @Sibob still hasn't said why it has to be isolated. At this point, I'm giving up.

You could always read Ebay's fees list. https://www.ebay.co.uk/help/selling/fees-credits-invoices/fees-private-sellers?id=4822

My solution:

They are doing a headless option, but it's actually a headed bass without the holes drilled in the headstock for the tuners and presumably with some sort of headless bridge. It does take weight away from the headstock and gives most of the advantages of a true headless but there's still a headstock that you can accidentally stick through the rehearsal room ceiling or into the guitarist's ear, as opposed to doing these things entirely deliberately. Bodies are either paulownia or mahogany [1]. Thin flame maple top is around £150 more than solid colour for either body wood. https://klosguitars.com/products/carbon-fiber-5-string-bass [1] Cue tonewood thread

You do realise that Bluetooth has a load of latency which proper wireless systems don't, don't you?

But this is just a Stomp and a tuner. It would be worth at least trying the experiment.

Why do the power supplies need to be isolated? You could easily split the Stomp power supply by getting 5.5/2.5mm male and female connectors and a 5.5/2.1mm male connector and connecting them up as a daisy chain but they wouldn't be isolated from each other.

It doesn't. Lekato WS-50 and Lekato MS-1.

I have exactly the same ones. They're excellent.

Could you try powering it with a power supply rather than a battery?

Do the <50% of us who read the OP and not just the title get a special prize?

Couldn't you just save the item on the browser page and then look at saved items in the app? I refuse to use the app so can't check this myself.

Sounds like the combined wire was the ground side and the white wire was the hot, which seems reasonable as I'd expect a naked wire to be ground.

As well as that, both terminals of the jack socket are connected to the same point. I can't see a more guaranteed way of producing completely zero output from the pickup than connecting absolutely everything to ground.

Nilo can also supply you with unicorns if you happen to be in need. As well as open mics and music shops, rehearsal studios generally have a noticeboard with personnel wanted ads on it. Bandmix and JMB are both horrible to use. Bandmix is a good concept spoilt by the morons that simply tick every box for musicians wanted, so 90% of the bass player wanteds are also accordion wanted, triangle wanted, percussionist wanted. JMB's search facility is about as good as Amazon's and AliExpress's. That's not to say you can't find bands that way (I have), but it's a very time-consuming and frustrating quest.

We (doing about 20 gigs a year) haven't got a fixed target but we're probably bringing in about one number a month - we had a rather static period of three or four months due to not getting the chance to rehearse but we've got two for Friday's gig that will get their first run out. We had about three gigs where we didn't change the set at all, but we do generally examine it and revise it after each gig. The previous band had certain set numbers for the start and end of sets but everything else was subject to change. The club band I played with for a few years had a static set list for all those years. We'd sometimes skip a number but the order was never revised and the songs were never updated. And the guitarist, who also did singing duty when we worked as a three piece, had a book of all the songs which went onto the music stand in front of him.

Of late, the success rate of Royal Mail 48 untracked parcels for me has been 25% within 48 hours, 75% within two weeks, 25% total disappearance.

No marks on the 5-strings I've used since 2007 but the JD Thumb that was my main bass for 20 years before that has a little mark on the body at the top of the neck pickup, I think from my thumbnail as I anchored my hand there.

I should have been clearer and said output from the speaker.
