Well, that would be tempting if there was some kind of customs union with Germany

Make sure you use long enough screws, and don't put it so far down that your pigeons can land on it

Gibson are doing fine now, this is a zombie thread from 3 years ago. Seem to be a lot of people joining to revive old threads at the moment!

The only reason that your battery can drain is that the negative terminal of the battery is being connected to the earth of the bass. The only place that the black wire from the battery should go is to the jack socket, but it seems like it is shorting elsewhere. Find that, and you solve the problem.

Not sure on the wiring there, but yes, the general idea if is a new problem started when you changed something, it is almost certainly the thing you changed. Generally the switching of the battery is done between the regular earth and the negative terminal of the battery, and i suspect what you connected to the bridge now connects those two where it didn't before. Not sure why the piezo wire is still there if you removed the piezo, maybe it is connecting something. The only place the battery negative should go is to the jack socket and not be connected to the earth until the plug is in.

Well, good planning to stop 8 years before the pandemic, if maybe a little over cautious. My last one was 4 weeks ago, and I think I got covid at it, I am not sure, I didn't do a test, it didn't sound like the right symptoms until people said what the symptoms of omocron was!

Well, I never knew that! I didn't even know about the electropop cover, which I expected to be bad and actually wasn't

Overall financially I think it isn't far out of balance. Which is handy, with only a few gigs!

And Geddy? I thought that was over now. I would say that it is just basically a list of every other bass that turns up on eBay!

That one is easy - for a challenge guess the third longest running thread in Off Topic

Christmastime:

This is the UK, sadly every event or night out has to involve alcohol, or virtually noone will turn up. For a lot of people it is not possible for them to enjoy a night out without alcohol. Agreed.

Indeed, you could go somewhere reliable like bax!

That was in 2018 so I would imagine it was much higher than that now. Also you can reasonably assume that as that is the general population, and 10% of 10-18 year olds are meat free, the number of vegans in the 'want to be in our band' age group is much higher.

Oh typical, another nut nut!

Well, I don't drink but only tell people I don't drink when either 1) the topic has come up, such as here or 2) they offer (or insist) that I have a drink. I am not a vegan, my wife is, and although I get the humour, the animosity is almost always the other way round, ie, offended about her food choices, so honestly having seen it that way round, I can get the advert. In fact, I don't see why it is so different wanting a vegan bass player if you are a vegan in a group (gives you markets maybe?) than wanting a female or 18-30 year old. It just trying to get someone on the same mindset. I mean if I could get a group that didn't drink I would be pretty happy, but this is England and I know some things aren't possible!

If you could get a P bass with a jazz neck then I would probably find it interesting, but tbh, they would still be 4 string so I would end up not using it. I have the Maruszczyk for my fender style fix.

Oh its my basses little active sister! I assume that is the one that comes from the same tree as mine, it certainly looks like it!

At least one of them has now retired though.

Yep.

Only the input volume matters. The Sense will change the level you need to play at and the range will also help with that. Are you not getting any difference or is it subtle? It should be anything but subtle. -- edit it is a bit of an odd ciruit that both the sense and the range can mute it -- edit again My mistake, I didn't notice the switch positions, its an odd way of drawing it.

That would be normal. The wah effect would follow the volume profile of your input signal. You can change the input level to trigger it earlier if you want but then you wouldn't get the effect louder.

I assumed they just did a 50/50 split between Kings of Leon and Wilson Picket and figured they had it mostly sorted.
