Hi guys, recently bought 2 pedalparts tubescreamer kits with the intention of modifying them into xotic rc boost and bb preamp pedals. As misfortune would have it, Poodle has now released kits for these and, as I haven't time to scratch myself these days, I'd probably be best building those rather than faffing around modding these. One kit comes with a 3 hole mxr sized enclosure, the other without an enclosure. £24 plus postage for kit with enclosure SOLD £16 plus postage for kit without enclosure. SOLD That's a tenner or more off new prices. Also have a few undrilled pedal enclosures that I could add to either kit. Hammond 1590B/BB equivalents by Eddystone (that's the standard mxr and larger mxr sizes for reference). £3 for a small one, £5 for a large one when included with either kit. Larger enclosure would be handy if you fancied modding the kit to make a fulltone bassdrive clone for example (although further components would be required). Kits are sold as they arrived from pedalparts. Build instructions are not included but can be downloaded from pedalparts website (http://pedalparts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ToobScreamer.pdf). I offer no technical assistance whatsoever I'm afraid!

Recently acquired Lakland Skyline 55-64 in sunburst with mint guard for sale/trade. Excellent 35" scale 5 string p bass. Weight is 10 1/2 pounds. Bought from Drew at Manchester bass lounge a month ago (excellent chap he is too - highly recommended), but I've since acquired a 55-02 deluxe in trade which will cover all my 5 string needs. I'd like to get hold of a 57/62 spec p bass instead of a 5 string which is the only reason this is going. Sounds like a p bass should with a very nice action - I took a punt on this having major reservations that the Indonesian Skylines could keep up with the Korean ones which I've owned before, but both these Skylines are the newer manufactured ones and they're both excellent (the p bass has the edge on setup, but the 55-02 has it for flexibility). Condition is very good, with 2 scores on the body which would most likely polish out (difficult to photograph -one on lower body edge, one on back just beside string ferrules), and an impression in the headstock tip of the metal seam of the case it was shipped in. Hadn't actually noticed this before and it would bother me so i've dropped the price a little and I'll include postage to compensate. £500 plus postage with a very well used generic hard case. Will trade for a Roadworn 50's p bass in sunburst, but will consider other maple necked P basses. Also after a sansamp vt bass.

Soak overnight in meths. Works a treat. Used to boil them, but meths is better.

Aftermarket P neck, 1 3/4" nut width, where?
Bigwan replied to Bigwan's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hadn't given that much thought really! Same price as other aftermarket necks I suppose. 150 to 200 I think. -
Can anyone suggest where I could find an aftermarket precision neck with a 1 3/4" nut width, 7 1/4" radius, 60s profile? Apparently my left hand likes the extra 1/8" muchly!

Lightweight Cabs to Complement Orange Terror Bass 500
Bigwan replied to 41.2Hz's topic in Amps and Cabs
Tech Soundsystems 4*12. A religious experience! Alas too much for my needs now. Thinking of a fearful 12/6 or Barefaced big baby (possibly a tks 1126) to replace the Tech. Should cover all my future needs! -
+1 on the Squire CV series. Personally my best sub £200 buys have been an SQ series Squire for a ton, which I stupidly sold, and an Ibanez ATK700 (£130 I think), which I sold to a work colleague who wanted to learn to play. Although they were both a little knocked about (well worn in the Squier's case and just downright abused in the Ibanez's) they were perfectly serviceable instruments, either of which could have been my main bass with a little tlc.
