All understandable. Harder for me on that date but probably easier for others. I was wondering about it being tight. Although everyone knows that all bass players are over 65

It is a shame. Hopefully if the world gets back to normal there will be less courier take up, and maybe the prices might go down again. At the moment for most things it isn't worth the effort. Not so bad if you are prepared to take the chance, but I wasn't on this. Maybe on a £100 bass it is ok as they cover to that, or hermes do to £300 (although you would need it with them), although not beyond a metre.

In the end I got a good price with UPS through their own site, it was much more expensive through interparcel when I added the insurance. The reason it was a deal breaker was because the advert was back from before brexit when it would cost £30 to ship, so that was what was in the advert and already paid for. Now most places cost double that (which seems a little odd as this is the same uk-uk requirement as before) and I had already gone down as much as I wanted to go. That used to be through eurosender who used DPD. DPD through any other means was £50. In future adverts I will just have to increase the shipping, which means less likely to sell.

Can't help feeling your volume is not going to be working well if you followed that circuit to the letter.

I think that would be self selecting wouldn't it. I mean, if you are one of the people who doesn't like Scott, you are not going to pay for membership are you?

Sorry, speaking as someone with the attention of a small goldfish, 12 weeks has always been an age! Its sort of similar to mine, with the grain, headstock, P/J, except I have no pickguard and a control plate! Think i will get a east retro for mine one day

I have only included ones I can do some level of tune on, although I can play others, so Guitar, Bass, Keyboard, Flute, Clarinet, trumpet. I can make some sort of noise on a violin and cello, but not something I would want to do in front of someone else, then there is the chapman stick, but that is just like a guitar.

Which clearly they use for muting, rather than tuning!

Your options are: 1. you can have a have a two normal jacks to have rick-o-sound, but you need some way to turn power off. 2. You can use 2 of the 9 pin jacks to have rick-o-sound - one mono, one stereo socket. 3. you can use 1 of the 9 pin jacks with a small switch to switch between mono and stereo. I would say, 1 is not a great option because you will forget. 2 is a good option in that you know whether you have mono or stereo depending on what you plugged into, but obviously takes two sockets and you have to remember which is which. 3 gives you one socket, and a switch, although you will have to remember which way is stereo and which is mono, and in stereo mode if you plug a mono plug in you will be missing a pickup. Probably 3 is easier, but remembering the switch way up is a bit of a pain (I have this on my chapman stick and I can never remember which way is which). Depends on how you will wire the filter. If the volume is after the preamp (which would make sense), then yes. And if you have the switch, then it would just join the outputs together and stop it being shorted out by the socket. Yes, it is the official diagram, but just for the output socket, the pickup selector is before the volumes and tones, and that circuit is from the volume output onwards.

The EBHs have Nordy big splits (which sound pretty similar). But all my ibanezes have them apart from the prestige that has something similar.

I replied to your comment that it wouldn't work to inform you there would be no problem with it working, then I noticed your reply after I had commented and added the link to the 9way socket that you mentioned but didn't link, so I linked to it. NOt sure of the problem. I don't see anywhere else it was linked? My comment? I didn't mention shunts. Or do you mean the ric circuit? I didn't check it all, I assumed as it was the ric diagram that is how it worked, if it doesn't, I appologise for them! My whole point is it is a solved problem that isn't hard to do without some fancy circuits. Or the other, even easier way, you just put one socket and a mono/stereo switch, I think that is what I would have if I wanted dual output.

Any updates to good couriers. I want to send a bass worth up to £900 just in the UK, it used to cost £30 with eurosender, and now the cheapest I can find that actually takes a bass (in a hardcase and cardboard) and actually insures is £60. If that is is, I can't really send and I will have to cancel my ebay sale

These - https://guitarelectronics.com/9-pin-1-4-stereo-jack-for-guitar-bass-w-dpdt-switch/ that is the sort of thing you need (actually an overkill but available) Then you tie the dpdt normally open connections in parallel to the battery negative (or actually positive if you wanted to, but lets stick to convention) and bob is your older relative. no need for anything more complicated than that

Of course it would - you would just need to get a couple of switched stereo sockets to handle the power requirements.

Seems a bit complicated for a couple of sockets? At this risk of upsetting the gods..

Go the old ric way and have a mono and a ric-o-sound output!

You have overreacted!

Can you not put reason plugins in garage band? Yes. Reason has loads that can be put into any DAW (or used stand alone). So is there a reason you want reason but you also want to use it with an external DAW (in that you can use it stand alone). Well, the new versions of logic are instantly accessible if you have used garage band but go quite a long way further. By that I mean that they look similar and some things are in the same place, but there is a lot more too it, and it does give you an almost overwhelming list of options.

Agreed, Chris is good, and not had any trouble with Andertons, PMT, G4M (both of Andertons and G4M I have used their returns). Don't think I have ever bought from GuitarGuitar. Obviously there was some element of humour in my post. When I was growing up, a music shop was somewhere that you would go to be belittled or talked at like an inconvenience. Apart from Telecoms (later nevada) in portsmouth where I spent some time and a guitar shop in New Road* that was excellent, which considering how annoying I was, was not bad. When I first moved here, I went into the guitar shop and I am not sure they acknowledged my existance at all. The closed down after a few months, I wasn't sad. There is one here now that opened a few years ago which is a lot better, although too small to have much of use to me but I make a point of buying strings etc from the occasionally. Things are better now, and the majority of places I have used have been good, although hard to tell as I am older and better off. No, I suspect you would still expect the wheels to be coming off now * as an aside, the guy who ran the shop in New Road used to work in telecoms. I don't remember when that shop closed down but I used to go into it in my school leaving teens age, which we shall call the early 80s. In 2011 I went to festival in Somerset. I went into this tent which had a load of spiritual stuff in it to have a nose (I was working there, and very bored), and some guy said 'Oh there is a face I recognise'. And it was him. He hadn't changed much, I would assume I had, I guess not that much then!

Oh go away with your foreign imports. We are british, we didn't leave Europe so we could do good aftersales service!

Obviously it depends on what you are used to - as above people complaining about garageband after using pro-tools. First time I used pro tools I couldn't believe how backward it was compared to anything I had used before, which at the time was logic (the older one) and cubase. I seriously can't use protools, its awful (well, I can use it, but I would rather not). Reaper is like an improved pro tools with a cheaper price tag (not a huge fan but have used it a fair bit). I would say if you like garageband, go to logic, you will find although there is a lot more you can do, the concepts are similar in garage band. Reason is a very different way of working (it is good, but not really the same sort of software). If I was doing EDM or the like, I would be using reason. But the other question is, if you are happy with garageband, why do you need to change it?

I used to always go up to that area on a rare visit to London for a shopping day out as a kid. I have to say that there seems less of a reason to go than there used to be as all high streets are becoming the same, even London's. I never like macaris but there were others of interest. I disagree that shopping needs to be made an "experience", you just have to get some level of service to make people want to shop there. Sort of a wunjo level.

Learned this one recently, as we play Josie in our set and this is the one after it when I was practicing. Fun to play.
