So... This arrived today! So chuffed!

Always wanted one of these in sunburst... One day...

Sadowsky m24 or r24?

+1. Stop visiting said repair person IMMEDIATELY!!! That's the oldest and potentially most damaging bodge in the book, second only to replacing the fuse with a nail or bit of foil! Now if the fuse SHOULD be failing to protect the rest of the amp it won't. Cue the magic smoke smell...

Have you got another cab you can try with the amp? A goosed crossover will certainly be an issue for an amp (depending on the manner in which it is goosed of course!).

Approaching the end here. Should have my ACG soon. All the woodwork is done, but don't have a final date yet...

[quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1465643845' post='3069873'] The OC-2 is somewhat more expensive, around £80, but maybe I could substitute this with a cheaper equivalent, and Robert is your mother's brother! [/quote] The Chord oc-50 is the job for you. Under £25 delivered on Amazon at the minute. One of my favourite octavers I've tried. Preferred it to the MXR Bass Octave Deluxe I had just before it and it tracked to a low G pretty repeatable. Also it has a switchable drive option that dirtiest the octave sound which might mean you don't need the distortion pedal. If it were me I'd be tempted to go with the Chord and a used EHX Micro Qtron (or a mini qtron for preference if you can find one and don't mind the very un-mini size) for the most synthy fun...

Kala solid body ubass, or a better built equivalent. Edit: oops! Missed the full scale requirement... Something ibanez soundgear-ish then.

[quote name='bassfan' timestamp='1464286771' post='3058241'] Here's the latest incarnation of my board.... Just finished patching it, now for a test! Something needs to go to make room for my future impact.... I'm thinking it's the Stanley Clarke WAH! [/quote] Awesome board! Could you mount the wireless under the board? Alternatively there's a bit of space around the edge and between the pedals - nudging them closer together and a slight reshuffle should get you the room you need.

That's lovely! Always fancied a Sadowsky (even took time out on honeymoon in NYC to visit with the man himself!) but just never pulled the trigger...

They have a kickstarter campaign for a charge pump? Now I've heard everything...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1463990685' post='3055495'] Not a bad call, but any new guard is a custom job. This isn't a Fender P obviously, it's just not that easy to find off-the-shelf guards. Besides, so many people here and over on TB have said 'leave the pearl guard!' that I'm going to delay changing it and see if it grows on me. It IS quite a good fit for my retro-country band. And doing nothing is always strong motivation for me... [/quote] There was somewhere/one on ebay that used to do replacement Lakland guards... Can't remember the name though... We'll get discreet jnr on the case and it'll be painted gold inside a week!

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1463984253' post='3055439'] He's sold it. Such is the ever-spinning carousel of Basschat GAS. [/quote] What? When did this happen!?

Crying out for some tort...

So sad...

Ah, I see. Took you up all wrong. Do you have a schematic?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463686238' post='3053416'] http://revolutiondeux.blogspot.co.uk/2008/05/wanna-build-timmy-overdrive.html It's designed by a guy called Paul Cochrane. [/quote] Oh I know the pedal, just never heard of it being used on bass that often. Did you make a straight up Timmy or mod it for bass?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463672744' post='3053292'] Kind of. The BB has an active 2 band Baxandall EQ after the gain stage (which is suspiciously similar to the Tube Screamer…) - the Timmy EQ is a cut only EQ, so it's only 1 opamp (JRC4558) in the pedal. The bass cut is before the drive section and the treble cut is after it. [/quote] Interesting. Never really looked at the Timmy... Must investigate!

My current project is tuned Drop-A just because the guitar player has got himself a new 7 string, much to my annoyance, so that's useful info Doomed. A Big Twin 2 (rather than a Four10 or a second Two10) may be the best purchase if it ever gets off the ground. Has anyone tried it next to an Ampeg fridge? Be interested to see how it faired there!

[quote name='doomed' timestamp='1463670967' post='3053271'] Here's a picture of mine at practice last weekend, it's not very big , volume in spades not as crushingly low end as the Dubster but the speakers will no doubt loosen up a bit after a few hours. [/quote] Exactly the setup I would go with right there... How's the Terror/Four10 combination?

[quote name='paul_5' timestamp='1463658367' post='3053132'] Just finished putting together a modified Tube Screamer with a 2 band EQ instead of the tone control. It does magical things to the DHA tube overdrive unit. Very happy with it. [/quote] BB Preamp-a-like?

I work in electronics and I never knew such a thing existed, which means there aren't many made, which means ANY you find will be expensive (economies of scale and all that jazz). €13 sounds reasonable for such a niche component. Count Bassy makes a good point. Are you looking for a stutter effect or an on-off switch? Pots with a DPDT switch integrated are pretty cheap in comparison...
