  1. The bridge will need a massive realignment @TheJay...
  2. This is the new version of the Sterling by Music Man SB14 @Sweenyrod, not a Joe Dart signature. 😉 Nice bass, and for those wanting one there are still a few available online in the Netherlands and France too.
  3. *Derail ON* My Arpège bears serial number 005, is from February 1981 and I even have the original invoice of the first owner (I was the second owner) who bought it brand new on the 2nd of September 1981... What does the dating website says: Try to find mine! @itu *Derail OFF*
  4. The Vigier website is too often totally wrong, that's quite amazing to have put that online without really double checking all these serial numbers recouping themselves and their correct item designation being completely wrong. 🤦 First generation fretless Delta Metal are almost as rare as hence teeth and most of them if not all were Arpège, I owned one and it took me years to find it, but a very good friend of mine wanted it so badly that I sold it to him...
  5. @ped @Kev @Cat Burrito ... Could someone please move this to the right place?
  6. By the way, will you receive 1 or 3 PCB's (after 21 days) and is the shipping fee included in the $7.60 USD asked as their website isn't that clear about all this? When you get to the checkout, it's either free or $20 USD for the shipping and 3 PCB's in the basket by default ... for $7.60 USD.
  7. This: https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/instruments_de_musique/2481532893 Amazing Benedetti pickups and excellent (when you understand how it works) Aguilar preamp. Barrillon is the luthier who bought Benedetti when Michel died.
  8. Dave aka @Dov65 and I were the same age, 59 years old is no age to go to sleep forever. I know, I'm repeating myself, but that's quite a shock. And he was such a nice person. 😢
  9. Exactly this, the aluminium version fitted at the beginning by Warwick are simply dire and have a huge tendency to break. Put an iron model the correct way @julesb and it will be fine for years and even decades.
  10. Monk Montgomery was the first professional user of the then new electric bass. 😉
  11. Or a new approach to your slap technique @Bass Wielder ...
  12. The Bugera Veyron Mosfet is the only bass amp close to that requirement: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/bugera-veyron-mosfet-eq-analysis.1459228/
  13. Same here, gutted. 😢
  14. Yes, the original pot for the volume is a 25 kOhms log, but was replaced later with a linear one. 100 kOhms log for the bass and 1 megOhms reverse log for the treble, but again linear one will do the job perfectly with a more useable progression.
  15. You didn't answer @tauzero, but if you solder that 25 kOhms pot between the preamp output and the jack, your bass will found way better than with the non matching 500 kOhms pot...
  16. Another one bumps the must: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mark-clark-3
  17. You could have used the provided rubber clip system instead to attach this Noctua fan (which are the only really silent fans available): it would have been way more fast and easy. 😉 I've done this modification to all the amps with fans that I came across.
  18. Worth checking the early 90's Yamaha TRB Slap Cut series too. 😉
  19. So was Hans J. Kullock, who died in 2021, the founder of the MAI in Nancy...
  20. So the volume pot is after the preamp?
