Our local, the Quicksilver Mail, regularly has a band in consisting of a number of post-Stackridge guys. The bass player turns up with a full all valve Ampeg stack and a vintage Jazz. I thought “wow, he must be good”. The funny thing is, me and my wife really do run the cattery down the road!

Try here. https://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/barrel-jack-socket or here https://www.mouser.co.uk/c/connectors/power-connectors/dc-power-connectors/?pg=2 I would really recommend disassembling the pedal first to get a good look at the existing socket and finding out if the pin is centre negative or positive. The connectors aren’t a one size fits all solution unfortunately.

I think this could be down to simple wear and tear. If you look inside the socket it should look something like the picture attached. The strip of metal under the pin has likely lost its ability to hold the plug in place. You should be able to get something in under the strip to gently bend it back up. A dental-style hook pick or similar sort of thing should do the trick.

There’s an entire website dedicated to violin basses. http://www.violinbasses.com/index1.htm

Just rediscovered this banger of a cover version. Cracking bass work.

90s indie/britpop. Epiphone Rivoli Trace Elliot

Quite a few anti-baxxers here.

@Jamescullumdidn’t you used to do the jam nights at Woods Wine Bar back in the day?

His Tiny Desk gig was amazing. This is my current favourite of his songs. It’s like Curtis Mayfield born again. Superb.

I had a big old 600 with my Midget. It really sounded great. The weight of the Trace got the better of me quite quickly though.

I had one. Very heavy. It was black with blocks and binding on the neck. Rosewood board. Previous owner made a right hack job drilling a hole on the edge next to the jack and badly gluing in an XLR output.
