I'm under strict orders not to purchase anything else! If I do, the walk back home will be the walk back to my ex-home! 😂

All this talk about travel and parking. Ha! Suckers! I'll be walking down the close, across Hillfield Park and then up to Cranmore. It'll probably take me 15 mins door to door! 😂

Hi all, I can do almost everything regarding the setup and customising of my basses but one of my weaknesses is wiring. Unless it's an EMG quick connect, I'm always a bit useless of anything inside the control cavity unless the wiring diagram is absolutely crystal clear. Brought a Bartolini TBIBT from another BC'er the other day to accompany a couple of recently installed Bartolini pickups in a 5 string Jazz bass. Looking at the wiring diagram, I'm a bit confused by the jack socket wiring. I've got one of these. The Bartolini wiring diagram looks like this. Not sure which tabs refer to which two wires on the diagram (circled in red). I'm also not sure where all the earths (circled in blue) end up. Any help would be gratefully received! Tony

Traded my Warwick Thumb NT5 with Keir. Great bloke to do business with, friendly, knowledgeable and trustworthy. It turns out we traded basses 15 odd years ago. Reminisced about the dozens of instruments through each of our hands since! Thanks for the trade and loving the Sadowsky Keir. Looking forward to the next trade in 15 years! 😂

Sold @wayne58 my Bergantino CN212. Cam is a great fella to do business with, flexible in terms of collection and a really nice bloke when we met. Thanks Cam. Tony

https://www.nuxefx.com/b7psm.html What do you all think about these? Been using the Xvive U4 for a little while and it's been really good but the idea about running on 5.8Ghz out the way of the crowded 2.4Ghz sounds appealing.

Don't worry all, stand down, found a picture of the control cavity on the web and can see where the colours are coming from.

Has anyone else got a BBNE1? Could you do me a favour and check the colour of the wires on the pickups? Putting back the original pickups back into the bass after retrofitting some EMGs and have realised they have different colours. One pick up wire is grey and the other one is brown and want to make sure I'm putting them back in the original neck or bridge positions. Many thanks all

Having become quite the p-bass guy in recent times, have been loving the flat-mute thing and spotted a YT video a while ago with Sean Hurley and a strange mute thing on his precision. Having googled it, it appeared to be a Fender Jaguar mute, added at some point. There were some posts on other forums and websites so, whilst I was on holiday over the past few weeks in the States, I ordered one to bring back, avoiding the postage and import taxes. Here's the bits and pieces.... So, made a start, using the good old dining room table. Here's the before shot... Strings came off, marked the screw holes and I measured the spring/plunger to find out what drill I needed. Found it was 13mm so had an emergency trip to B&Q. Deep breath, drill out and here we go..... Plunger in and tested the depth, needed to drill a little deeper that the guestimated 34mm from the guide. Screwed into the body, mute pads on, strings on and some tweaks and it's all together. This shows it pushed up into mute mode, bit of settling in and realising I don't need to fully push it down, the muting is variable based on how much I need. Looks really good, works great.

Not using the Helix anymore, just going 'bareback' from the bass into the EBS Microbass then straight into the X32R via a guitar lead. May use the Sony DWZ-B30GB wireless but probably not likely if it impacts latency. Looking at the specs on the Sony... Narrow band mode: Approx. 3 ms / Wide band mode: Approx. 6 ms
