Ricky Lawson dead? Oh no.

2VN, what a great album. The bass part on Gaslighting Abbie is my fave on that record.

Needs more than that. Looks like the ashtray is out of alignment with the bottom strap button, so I’m guessing the bridge is off too. Which is probably why it’s in such good condition..

Interesting. I wear hearing aids now (bah) and I find they add compression to everything incoming. So now, I turn the comp in my signal chain off.

I have AKG 240 DF's. They are the high impedance ones from about twenty years ago. They are very good, but quiet, and need a bit of welly from the interface. Recommended.

...cuz you already indicated you like 10” speakers.

Markbass CMD 102p with tilt back cab for the win!

To be sure, my experience of these is limited. A friend had a two pickup fretless back in the eighties, which I think was a Musician. It was a pro instrument for sure, no lightweight.

Bet it weighs a ton.

I like this. More power to them.

Wood magnets. Simples.

Axiom Air 49 here. Good quality. Works pretty good with Logic. Has transport controls which are useful. Logic occasionally deletes its .bundle in the MIDI devices folder, which is odd. It still works, but I lose the HyperControl functionality, and have to drag a copy of the .bundle back to the folder.

Good work fixing the B3. I had a similar issue with an old G21.U. When I took it apart, the little buttons were all on the same plastic moulding, and it had snapped in a couple of places. A dab of superglue to weld the breaks, and all was well. The buttons on my G3 (same chassis as B3) are still good. Looking inside my Zoom units reveals pretty good build quality for the money, I think. Btw, what device do you use to measure the power consumption?

Yup, I understand. I will do nothing until I am absolutely sure. Thanks for your help.

I think I’ve got one of these! In a drawer. Thanks, Al, you da man.

A current doubler, eh? Where might I obtain such an item?

Thanks, everyone for your valuable contributions. The Joyo device looks interesting, and might be worth a punt. I’ve never seen anything like that before I am really not good on any aspect of elecktrickery, so bear with me. Al, your suggestion is interesting but puzzling. I thought if I used a doubler as I think you describe, then surely that also put 18 volts into the Zoom? Can you illuminate my darkness?

Yes, your experience is like mine, then. It doesn’t seem to like being used in conjunction with ANY other digital device. Really annoying, because otherwise it’s a great unit.
