Cheap Thrill

Beats sitting on the washing machine during the fast cycle then...? Nah seriously, I can dig it. I prefer to feel it in my chest but it may well help with headphone practice. I can't say I have a problem with just the B3 and a decent set of cans but then I haven't sat my can onto one of your devices to be able to judge. Re: The patent... are you sure the porn industry haven't already got rights on the idea?

Robin has passed on his East preamp to me for my parts drawer following an upgrade to his Overwater. He wouldn't accept any payment nor would he let me cover postage. It arrived as arranged. Proper packaging and safe as it left him. A really generous bloke. Not only... he's also offered me some nice tuning heads. This time though, I have to insist on covering the postage at the very least. Thanks Robin. Top bloke.

That sounded ambiguous. Sorry.

It would be an anti-climax if you didn't. I'm trying to visualise how your tenon saw is held in line. Have you a better image of your jig?

Lovely. Romulan green.

Welcome TK.

I agree with ^both^. You only need the side dots anyway. It's a lovely piece of timber.

A Musical Youth group perhaps...

Can you muster the skills needed to make it into a drinks cooler?

A string clamp simply makes it possible to use single ball ended strings on a headless bass. https://headlessusa.com/jcustom-bass-combo-headpiece I bought the five string Steinberger Spirit XT25 (passive). It's not as well made as the old Hohner but it got me into fives. In retrospect I probably would have liked the detuner bridge on the Hohner better but mine's just the plain one.

We like clamps. It's okay.

Welcome Simon. Has your B2A got an XLR out as well as the standard jack socket? If so, that will send a clean signal to the input device. I'm told that a lot of studios had these just for recording. For an active bass the output isn't huge, I agree. Did you check the volume trim pot in the pre? I can't imagine anyone wanting to reduce the output for a minute but it might be worth checking it out. Check your pickup heights too. Also, these respond particularly well to light gauge, piano wound strings. You might find it difficult to get piano wound now. If you do, you may need a string clamp because double ball ends add another highly specific requirement. When slap was a significant cult, they were plentiful though.

The suffering you have to go through on our behalf! So selfless. Heeheehee

Welcome Matti.

I wasn't sure what you meant by "diamond cuts". They really set the shape off.

Like you needed your arm twisting... pfft

I've been assembling these: Do you think I should do a build thread?

It was Stubzy... you all saw it.

Oops.

This is where some unscrupulous members of the forum might have posted a clip of Peter Griffin doing The Bird is the Word. Thankfully, you have been spared.

It was bound to happen.

Welcome ToLo.

I bought a CD from Stephen that was surplus to requirements. It arrived by post in as new condition in the original wrapper. Communication was prompt and uncomplicated. Deal with confidence.
