  1. If you happen to be in search of a 4-string headless neck, there's https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/276524377301.
  2. Tape saturation emulator?
  3. Is that the modern equivalent of that staple of French construction, corrugated iron?
  4. Tascam GB-10. If you create the audio tracks as either MP3, 32-320kbps, 44.1kHz or WAV, 16/24 bit, 44.1kHz, they'll play. I have no problem with mine. Edit to add: I use Audacity to adjust sample rates etc, and sometimes to adjust pitch at source so I can also use the track with Nux Mighty Plug or Boss Katana:Go.
  5. I think I'd describe the necks as "just started" rather than "unfinished".
  6. I've dropped him a message to ask about pickups, controls, and output socket.
  7. So, take a hundred quid bridge and make it look like shit, and that's an improvement? Oh well, if it makes someone happy I'm sure it's worth it.
  8. There's a headstock.
  9. Have you tried google? https://kalabrand.com/products/road-toad-pahoehoe-u-bass-strings?variant=6031545089
  10. BassChat 112 (300W), or my Plenty cab with a Deltalite (250W), or the BC house jam micro cam (100W), all with a Tecamp Puma 900. The throttle volume control goes both ways.
  11. Then wait ten seconds and click "Newest results first". The waiting is very important.
  12. Logged in over the last six months, say. Browsers get updated more frequently than that, and most people will get updates either to their browsers or their OSes which will cause a logout. I await a vast chorus of people saying that they're still on WinXP and never update Internet Explorer v6.
  13. There's nothing stopping small lightweight rigs having plenty of bass.
  14. Except a bass with a headstock.
  15. I know what it reminds me of...
  16. I'm sorry, I don't understand that sentence.
  17. Mine go in the recycling. If they can take tin cans, they can take stainless strings.
  18. She sounds like Linda McCartney crossed with Yoko Ono.
  19. Handcuffs provide a simple solution to keep the left hand close to the right.
  20. Suggest that the drummer plays keys, the keys player plays bass, and you play drums for the track. Or try it at a rehearsal, making sure it's recorded.
  21. I'm not sure that the backbone is carbon fibre. The silvery grey edging to it suggests that it could be a piece of aluminium channel with carbon fibre wrap over it.
  22. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/25849399031341667/ I can see some issues. Like it might dig into your leg, and the bridge doesn't have independently adjustable intonation but it's done in pairs (I think Telecasters are like this too). Still, an interesting instrument.
  23. The toggle switches got here. I connected them up as per Bartolini's wiring diagram and (without buttoning everything up, just in case) tested it. Silence. Sticking my finger on the series/parallel switches gave buzzes. Putting a scope across each coil of the pickups showed a signal so I thought I'd check the signal across the output from the switch and realised that I hadn't connected the ground side of the pickups to ground. Well, that explained that. I sorted that out and now I have sound. Obviously I can't now say how the MK1 compares with the BH2s in the Ibanez because the Ibanez has Aguilars replacing the BH2s and the Cort has MK5CBCs replacing the MK1s. However, I will say that the MK1s when I was trying them had a balanced and full sound, not lacking anywhere. Not sure why they have a bad reputation, other than snobbery about made in USA versus made elsewhere.
