  1. Thanks Kevin. I guessed as much, but ...youknow...new things......
  2. I am sending a bass to Norway. UPS have given me a Customs Invoice. Where on earth do I put that? In the case? On the case in a clear plastic envelope? Can anyone give me guidance? Google cannot - or I have missed it.
  3. Go Bloopdad1 ! As an aside, if an amp is good for Bass Guitar, it is good for Double Bass as long as your pickup is looking at an impedance load it is happy with. A dedicated preamp is all that is needed.
  4. That switch is ALL sorts of wrong. Surely that can be done with a rotary switch?
  5. The Behringer P1 has a 9v in so that is immediately easier.
  6. While I am at it, is there a good reason not to use these 9v to battery clips? https://www.amazon.co.uk/ammoon-Battery-Converter-Connector-Female/dp/B06XRNRSC5
  7. I am rationalising kit. I have too much. I have 2 Fdeck HPF boxes which I would like to combine into a metal floor box. I would like to use them as an active AB box for Bass Guitar and Double Bass. I would like an AB footswitch with lights to clue me in with what channel is open. I would like an overall mute footswitch, also lit. I do not need LEDs that can be seen from outerspace. The footswitches need to be electrically silent. All that pop and bang stuff through my amp drives me up the wall! I would want to keep the volumes and the HPFs independent for each channel. I would also like a passive tone roll off on each side, but if that is the stupidest idea it is not a deal breaker. I would also like a balanced DI out. I have a BSS DI box which is willing to sacrifice itself for the greater good. I would also like to plumb a Behringer P2 headphone amp in. And I would like all to work off 9V power supply socket so that it becomes a battery free zone. Am I barking, or is this do-able? I could mount them all onto a piece of wood, but would not have the tidy element I crave and also not footswitchable and mutable etc. I know there are pieces of kit out there which would do this, but I happen to REALLY like what the Fdeck HPF does to piezos and passive basses. This could just be a passing phase as I sift through stuff on a Sunday afternoon.
  8. I have a bass with an all rosewood neck. It is very lush. Everyone should have one.
  9. Is it nearly the end of 2019 already? Surely this thread was only started 3 moths ago. How did that happen?
  10. I am digging this. Nothing clever happening - just a good song and a good arrangement. Which I suppose is the cleverest thing. I shall hunt them out. Thanks.
  11. Fralin J Pickups and a J retro + Shuker build quality. Lots of yum going on there.
  12. I would love to contribute to this thread in a meaningful way. But I cannot. But I will say YES! Very cool.
  13. Thanks, I will be as well. In fact, I just have.
  14. I have been throught the same thing. It will sort itself out. If the windings bother you then cut them, but stretching them and latching them onto the machine heads then can be a job.
  15. Marillion. A 40 year career with a large percentage of it doing the DIY thing. Much respect is due.

    Boss SY-1

    Any vids of the sustain aspect of these out there? TIA
  17. On reflection my post was not as funny as I though it was when I posted it so I have now changed it.
  18. This is a great cab. If I could think of any good reason to buy it I would. But I am all cabbed out. But it is a great, great cab. A real balance of form and function.
  19. Word. For me, my main Jaco hit comes from his groove playing, where he places the notes. He was a groove monster.
