I own many many guitars, that I did buy. Virtually never play any of them though

Our problem isn't pubs not knowing we can pull people in, our problem is the number of pubs shutting. I live in a small town, two of our regular (ie, places we were playing once a month) pubs have now shut down, one permentantly, and another 2 every 3/4 month places have shut. So we are travelling further out. On the plus side, another pub that closed ages ago has just opened again, bucking the trend and we have a gig there soon.

Well, I haven't had any issues with mine falling apart, but I know a few people have upgraded theirs. One here, very different tuners https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/436705-nbd-ibanez-talman-tmb105-£200-5er/?do=findComment&comment=4255124 Another here, black tuners https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/423427-the-ibby-talman-short-scale-appreciation-society/?do=findComment&comment=4607124

Me and the drummer play that when we are warming up. Its a great little riff. I am currently learning Nirvana Lounge act, for no reason I can establish, its not on the list of songs I should be learning but it was on the other day so I decided to!

Dream on the idea of going to a band and not doing the PA or anything!

I changed the tuners on my SR1605 as it has one of the lightest face woods of any of the ibanez premiers, which made it slightly head heavy. I replaced the original very good tuners with some ultralights which was enough to stop any neck dive.

I have done both and enjoy both. Unfortunately the only gigging originals group I have done was not very original and also had written there stuff, so it was basically like being in a not very good covers group, in that you had to do all the already written music that someone else had written, rather than just the good stuff that other people had written. You also get a lot more flexibility with covers than with other peoples originals. Actually, I also spent some time in a punk 'originals' group, but to call that original would be pushing the line of 'original' a bit far.

I have the white 5GHz ones and some black 2.4GHz (probably donnar), and they were fine too. I got the 5GHz ones as I couldn't find the black ones, they ended up being in a not commonly used gig bag!

Generally odd. Yes, the upside down position of the plate, the balance before the volume (I guess that is a choice - I would expect it like KiOgons picture), the fact the tone control isn't actually wired to the circuit, but jus relies on the fact you are putting it on a metal plate, ok, it probably works (until you change the plate to plastic) but seems very bad form. I would certainly want a wire there. On to your diagram, as you say it is hard to see because the wires are always in the way in photos, but from your description it sounds like one side is either shorted or backwards. Do you have a meter to check that nothing is shorted out, and that the pickup inputs are only shorted to ground at full travel? Just for clarity, on that dual pot at the top you have the volume pot at the top, one of the inputs (cant see what) in the middle, and a wire that connects to the green wire at the bottom, and on the bottom row, you have that green earth wire at the top, the other input in the middle and and output to the volume at the bottom, is that correct?

That is a very interesting diagram at the top!

so þe (can't type superscript in this font). Wasn't really 'didn't bother', printing presses were generally French, they didn't have the character

The OP is in the US, where I would imagine that reverb is more use.

There is no problem with them on any of the basses

Same here, when it used to be a filter on the EU, there was a good selection of stuff, but when you restrict that to the UK only, there isn't really enough to make it worth looking.

Did you rescale the short scales to match the other scales? Obviously the distance from the bridge in distance isn't important, compared to the percentage of the scale.

No - you can post that

SR5005 and yes, they are nice!

I posted the mac link. -- edit And it was posted again!

They fit fine

Yeh, well what would they know?

I have had an account with them for ages. Since brexit it is obviously less use than it was, but I generally can't find much on there. It does seem a way of pushing prices up. I bought a gibson the paul for £400 a few years ago, I looked on there as I had a spam that there was a gibson marauder for £1200 (which is an 80s budget bolt on gibson), so I looked up the paul, and ones worse than mine without the case were up at £1500. Which is daft.

Thanks, that worked. As does https://accusonus.s3.amazonaws.com/public/products/era-bundle/current/ERA_Bundle_v6.2.00-VoiceChanger_v1.3.10-MAC.zip

I know it is pronounced that way but I still pronounce it moog, to rhyme with.. umm.. moog, not mouge. Nope, that gets pronounced as Hoe Tone! Nope.. I do that as Moo er.. as in, one who moos And don't get me started on wenge..

Sadly it didn't recognise my login and there is no way to sighn up to make a new account

I had noticed it was often the way with fender, as they regarded the 5 string as a separate product rather than the same product with another string (which is odd as they build them like the same product with another string). Ibanez have also often been guilty of that, but moreso now with the EHBs and the Talmans.
