    Gareth bought a Korg Pandora from me, no messing and good communications. Cheers!

    I have a DOD FX65 chorus, and I run that at 12V to give the delay chip a bit more headroom. I'm not sure there would be any benefit to the chips in the Meatbox - anyone know by looking at this pic?

    Somebody has had a go at removing the black gunk from the components, so maybe we will see a schematic online soon.

    [quote name='fretmeister' timestamp='1399208067' post='2442056'] Gigrig Generator and Distributors will fit under too. [/quote] [quote name='umcoo' timestamp='1399241518' post='2442438'] Not sure if the Gigrig does...isn't it huge? [/quote] [quote name='Ant' timestamp='1399279389' post='2442615'] Gigrig fits for sure, here's a shot of the underneath of my friends board [/quote] The Generator is similar in size to a laptop power unit. One of the things I like about it, and that the Cioks has also got going for it, is that the mains cable detaches. It's a standard IEC 'kettle' lead on the Generator. I hate having to coil up trailing cables that are attached to stuff!

    Octaver?

    The Digitech Bass Synth Wah seems to be a bit of a bargain. I am trying to stay way from pedals on bass though

    Some multi-FX units allow you to change the order of effects. Some don't, but they are usually in a sensible order.

    [quote name='jonsmith' timestamp='1401734601' post='2466362'] I spent 5 years playing Dire Straits songs in a[size=1] tribute[/size] band... [/quote] [b][size=6]HEY EVERYONE, THAT JON SMITH GUY USED TO PLAY IN A TRIBUTE BAND!!![/size][/b]

    A band I was in used to play a cover of Right Said Fred's 'Deeply Dippy, and come the brass break, the guitarist and I would both whip out kazoos to play it. Oh how the audience laughed, or perhaps would have done if they had found it as amusing as we did.

    [quote name='bertbass' timestamp='1401739889' post='2466451'] I would guess that the output transistors had gone down putting DC voltage straight through to the speakers. [/quote] That would certainly do it!

    I tend to put photos I want to share in the Public area of my Dropbox folder - if I put them in the Photo part, the links ask people for a password!

    [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1401740075' post='2466455'] How's this going to differ from the usual format? We'll plug this at the Herts Bash too and hope that we can raise the numbers too... [/quote] I rather like the 'usual format' but I'm open to others too.

    [b]THREAD RESURRECTION ALERT![/b] On a whim I had a play along to Sultans last night - that is a much clankier P sound than I had imagined/remembered! Had a look on OGWT and he is playing a natural/rosewood/tort P. In the car today I was stuck in traffic long enough to listen to the whole of the 'Live at the BBC' recording - not sure why that tone works but it does, I would have gone for something with much less treble. If the opportunity arises maybe I will dare to turn the tone up on the bass. And yes, Marquee Moon is a masterpiece.

    Is there no forum rule about selling great kit at dirt cheap prices? GLWTS!

    This is a 4-on-a-side set of tuners to fit the 80s Yamaha BB series basses. I bought these as spares for my 1984 BB400S and they were a perfect match, but as I no longer have it, they are now surplus to requirements. The tuners are in good working order, and the resistance or stiffness can be easily adjusted (I will include instructions). The ferrules measure approximately 18mm in diameter across the outside of the splines, 17mm diameter across the un-splined portion, so should fit a peghead hole of somewhere between those measurements. Please post a question here if you require other measurements or photos. Please note no fixing screws are included (3 required per tuner). I am looking for [b]£35 delivered in the UK[/b]. PM me if you require an overseas shipping quote.

    [quote name='uncle psychosis' timestamp='1401612387' post='2465130'] On guitar I prefer single coils, but for bass I appear to be a humbucker man! [/quote] Me too. My LP has HBs, the other 5 (I know, but I can provide full justification and a note from my mum) all have singles.

    Have you tried having a little kip in the afternoon before the gig Deb? I got the idea from Johnny Cash and my drummer, who both do/did this. About 4pm I go and lie on the bed for 30-40mins with a blanket over me, curtains drawn, and just snooze and/or think happy thoughts. I rarely go off fully to sleep, but it really helps to refresh me, and means I am not running on the cr4p in the bottom of the fuel tank by the end of the gig.

    I had a delay pedal that went 'microphonic' - turned out it was a dry joint on a capacitor.

    Do the power transistors need to be matched?

    K&M do a range of bags for speaker stands, mic stands etc. I got mine from Sudiospares. They do give you overall dimensions and an idea of how many stands you can fit in each bag.
