So what do you think then, 7v ?

After a rummage about I've found an adjustable digital camera adaptor which states: PRI :100v-240~50/60Hz 20W SEC :3, 3.3, 5, 6, 6.5, 7V;;;;;; (top line solid, bottom broken) 2100mA 14.7VA(max) Can I use this to power the xciter, and if so, what setting should I use ? The downloaded manual states that external power should be : 5-12VAC 7-17VDC I don't want to blow the xciter up, so I thought I'd ask. TIA

Its so easy to get around compared to 34" and 35". It plays amazing and I find it weird going back to a 34" scale. feels too big now. I dont know any basses with this scale though. Anyone know of any 33" scale basses?? I wouldnt mind trying some out too. Cheers Jobie[/quote] I don't know about 33" scale, but I used to have a Aria TSB550 with straight through neck whic was 32" and I loved it. I had it defretted with a percussion plate installed by Jimmy Moon. I wish I could get another one. Peter

The funkiest, bluesiest, Little Feat (classic lineup with Lowell George) on the live "Waiting For Columbus" cd featuring Kenny Gradney on bass.

[url="http://www.baileyguitars.co.uk/"]http://www.baileyguitars.co.uk/[/url] They're based in Maybole in Fife but I know nowt about them. Have been considering building a bass with them tho. Anybody on here used them before (or even heard of em)?[/quote] I haven't heard of them before, but Maybole is in Ayrshire. The other coast from Fife There must be more up here surely ? I haven't had anything done to what I have left yet, so I can't help with a recommendation, apart from Jimmy Moon defretting an Aria TSB550 years ago. I heard he was concentrating on custom builds and no more repairs, but I'm well out of touch

Thanks, I'll try all this.

I've had this Ibanez SR1000FM Prestige since I gave up playing live, so it's hardly been used. However, it's recently started to become noisy when altering the eq controls (they're two dual concentric controls - Bass and Treble on one, Mid band and Boost/Cut on the other.). I've changed the battery, but no go. Everything looks OK inside, but the seems to be nowhere in the eq pots (which are way smaller than the volume and pan) to squirt switch cleaner. I can see something moving through a cutout in the pot when I'm moving the inner control, so should I treat it there ? It's a mystery to me. It was fine when I bought it, and it's hardly been used. Its kept in it's case in a cupboard which is not damp etc. Any ideas ?

If you think that is silly, there is actually a procust that is effectively that called the butterfly or something.[/quote] I used to stick a set of Beyer DT100 into both an Ibanez PM1300, and my Stingray. Worked fine

I don't know about their basses, but I sold the insides of my Variax 300 and kept the body as GK3 equipped controller. It was quite weird having a guitar with no visible pu's, but now I have one with holes where the controls and sockets where I quite liked the modelling (especially combined wit an XTLive), and I think the bass would be worth a punt at under £200
