Face on they are fine. Side on they lose a bit of vim.

I have a bass with one LED and optical fibre. The light is very small. But not unpleasant.

Everything was smooth

I had forgotten about this! I have no reason to believe that the perf board is not functioning as it should. It should be an Fdeck. If anyone wants it then shoot me an address and it is yours for nothing.

Uh oh!

I am not wanting to disagree in any contentious way, but am keen to not see things become internet folklore. I think one finger per fret is entirely plausible both on Bass Guitar and (per semitone) on DB. Obviously everyone one is different and no one size fits all.

This concept makes an awful lot of sense.

Talk me through expression pedal options..........

I did the whole two bridges one bass thing some time ago. The difference - for me - was negligible when I was in a room on my own. The difference with a band? Infinitess........infinatess.........infinti.....so small as to be not there - for me. For the record, going from 9v to 18v on my EMG pre-amp was equally underwhelming. There - I said it.

I have way too many basses. I cannot justify them. I like trying different flavours. I could have many much worse pastimes. I actually like the idea of going down to one but could not choose so I do not sweat it.

I have gone in to get a price on the grown up Vong. I shall report back.

I live for that.

-12db/Oct fixed at 30hz plus -12db/Oct variable. -12 + -12 = -24 I could be wrong.

Yeah, but she is clearly not a proper bassist. Playing bass and singing? Just not right. Singing and playing will get you into trouble with the bass police. Or maybe I am just bitter.

As I have to remind my wife when she looks at me, fabulous does not just happen.

Who needs face LEDs when you have those beautifully inlaid numbers there?

Never mind the mini vong. The full sized one looks great!

Check my thread for abject failure. I am here for you.

I am venturing in to here again. Don't laugh at me. This is an odd one. During my forays into bass Ukes I had some Fdek pres built. But they are in various stages of completion. One is a bare circuit board that the builder cannot remember where he was in the process. I suspect it is complete but needs pots and power. But I could be wrong. If you have the skills to decipher what is going on with it would you consider finishing it for me for ££££? The second is I think complete but there is an earth hum thing going on. It has been mounted in a Boss chassis, can be powered by 9v psu or battery. It has one vol pot, and two three way switches. One switch for HPF and one for passive tone roll off. The footswitch is NOT on off. It does not function as a switch. It takes and puts out signal and it all works just with an added serving of hum. Again, would someone mend this for ££££££? The only guy round here who would do it is not functioning. TIA.

To have independent access to all the parameters would be just what I need. It would suit the way my brain works.

I have just got sucked into Reface video land on YT. If they slapped them all into a 5 octave keyboard I would be all over it like a bad rash, and as I noted before, my skills are LAME.

I have a Zoom ME-60B which does one thing I really like. If I dial in the octave effect to play at pitch rather than an octave down then it synthesizes a tone which just beefs up my bass without overpowering it. It is quite subtle but comes into it's own in the lower registers. I have various (too many) basses and the reality is that a 33" scale bass just will not keep up with a 36" scale bass on the B string. I do love the feel of the 33" though so that is what gets played and the Zoom just helps it speak with authority all the way down. I am presuming this is something the FI would do with aplomb. Is anybody doing already? I do not want squelchy/sweeping/rumbling/whatever (for this purpose), just extra weight. Obviously I want all that other stuff for other times.

It is entirely possible. I have taught many people who match your description. There has to be someone out there who will do some on-line work with you. Is there anyone else following this thread who could recommend someone?
