    We just need the £300 Wal for a Basschat full house.

    Although there are one or two English grammar "rules" which are ridiculous because they're relevant only in Latin - to never split an infinitive (Latin infinitives are one word so cannot be split) and to never use a preposition to end a sentence with.

    And me, though my memory played tricks on me and I thought it was Spinal Tap.

    Status is 4th declension, IIRC like manuus (hand). Edit: And virus (fog or miasma). Which reminds me, a rather ill-educated feminist I once met was all offended at the fact that handbooks were called "manuals".

    Thanks, but I've used the drainpipe successfully in three speakers so far and I know my hole saw does the job for it. Oh, and it's Tau not Tao!

    Inga is going for the title of Monarch of the Zombies.

    Purpaul sparkle, surely?

    This is the stuff - the Nova Pad https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/162935948623?var=464180501111 which I've used on the BC112Mk3, the micro cab, and the Plenty cab.

    But a P pickup is two halves each covering two strings, so out of phase is irrelevant - it wouldn't make any difference to the sound, unlike a twin pickup bass (J type) where out of phase would be relevant.

    So using my default of needled felt would be a reasonable thing to do?

    Tecamp Puma 500 or 900.

    The Burns Flyte has a very similar body, although it unfortunately isn't headless.

    Some of you do...

    Would the Ray5 be the same as the Stingray 5? I have one of those here too so I could try a neck swap.

    @Phil Starr, does the cab need some acoustic wadding?
  16. tauzero
    No replacement speakers available, so I've opted for a refund.

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

    And Black Friday.

    What about Chuck Barry?

    My '87 JD was my main bass for 20 years until I went to 5-strings in 2007, and it's still with me getting the occasional run out. Superb neck - it took a long time to find a 5-string with an equivalently playable neck. I assume the OP's is from a transition period (though I don't know how long a period), as it's got the 2-piece bridge rather than the earlier one-piece Schaller, and a JAN I, but it has a carved rear to the headstock rather than the plain flat rear, and a separate battery compartment rather than the battery living in the control cavity as it dd later.

    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.
