Always liked the look of that bass - there was one for sale recently on eBay/FB dunno if it sold or not

Cali76CB compressor Tech21 DP3X Tech21 PSA 2.0 I imagine the Morningstar MC6 shortly will be added to the list to integrate what I need. Honestly Tech21 knock it out the park

Depends on the required volume

KMA Audio Machines - The Tyler

Forgot to add Form Factor Bi 1000

Tech21 VTBass500 Tech21 dUg Ultrabass 1000

MXR M87, Darkglass Super Symmetry, Cali76 to name a few have metering

Haha nice touch

Noice Love a rack

More like Factpants. I think we get each other’s point tho. So many peeps think because it looks like a ‘Ray’ or ‘MM’ pick up and is in roughly the same place then it will sound like one, and then are disappointed/upset etc when it doesn’t. When something is not what you expect to hear, you always get a response which may be less favourable than it otherwise could have been. Only a Ray sounds like a Ray, position, magnets, pre-amp etc. It you didn’t like the feel, that’s cool too, plenty we all do and don’t like positive and negative

That is because it was never meant to be in the Ray position or indeed sound like a Ray in its construction/sound etc.

Nope What Alex does is talk to you about needs, sound, set up etc. If he says you need a Big Twin and you say, your wrong the One10 will fill my local pub on its own and it doesn’t, the trial does not count. If he recommends the big twin and that doesn’t do that job, it’s in the return/trial period thing

Ulyate also, Jaime at creamery up/down the road from you may just be able to do the ticket for you - that will be a good shout

Check out basslines - they do very good under the radar pick ups

Aggie MM pick up and OBP-2 will do a very nice job. Bit more in your face - Noll EQ Audere also very noice

Can we have LEDs as well please

I always knew you were genius - you can imagine the Cuz-Trav sig model - whatever electronics you want, but in brown, lovely poo brown

Max amp power sort of says the same thing as 150-800. The best thing honestly Is to email Alex and he will respond, but specific questions will need to be asked and he gives good answers. For example when asking him about pairing an amp with a higher wattage rating than was suggested on one of their One10s he was very helpful in making sure I didn’t rag it and used it safely.

Cheers @Reggaebass @Powertripper where are you based? There may be some kindly folk near you who will either have a build going to watch or can help with a build. My first build I went massively in the deep end and just did it, and that was a graphite neck on a nice USA alder body! Honestly I sat in wait for a body on eBay, gumtree, Facebook that spoke to me, got it in and started to work! I’ve refurbed cracked bodies (got one for postage only!) refinished others. What can be good are people who have tried to take on a project and got bored, then you can jump in and finish their work off. Kiogon is good, but I wanted to solder, you can practice on any old thing just soldering to see what works to get skills up so that when you really need to do it, it’s a breeze - I like the smell of solder. I think just have a clear goal in mind - if you want a P, do a P and pop things together, that’s what I did a couple of. Then I routed a jazz bass to fit Rickenbacker pick ups in once I got more confident. Tried wood staining and refinishing and relicing, I now have a blank P body bass where I can decide my own pick up placement, and will eventually make my own shape from wood. Good tools are a must and can be bought second hand some of them. I recommend a Pillar drill decent ones for about £100 can be got, it’s a godsend especially for drilling holes in a neck, FET some callipers for measuring, helps with neck pocket work. A dremel is not a bad tool for various things. Inhave sold a couple bitsa’s for cost price (not including my time) but most things I did as I wanted a specific sound, electronics hardware combo, but scour adverts for bits and bobs and it will come. for example on eBay there is a decent Fender Jap Jazz body for about 165, pop a neck - very good bass. There are also cheaper bodies to do more messing about with. There are mine, the graphite neck bitsa was my first, honestly it’s not meant as a self promotion pat on my back, but I am happy to talk about any part of what I did, you can pm me, or talk on here no bother. The Build thread is invaluable for tips and you have guys like @Jabba_the_gut and @Andyjr1515who are phenomenal actual builders
