Mine is Jan 5 66. Maybe they were tired in Feb.

I typed that in bed last night because I have been meaning to ask for over a year but kept forgetting. I even saw the plug this morning and thought "I must take a picture of that" but then got sidetracked. I will get full details this evening. Thanks for caring!

It snapped off, but it is one of the ones where the actual prongs slide on to the main transformer jobby. Anyone have any ideas where I could get a replacement? TIA.

[quote name='Kev' timestamp='1454282504' post='2968292'] Any comments from owners on here re this subject? [/quote] I think the whole vinyl decal thing is a complete red herring. Mine is fine and dandy. I do not spend time looking at it. The "so called" cheaply built thing is also a red herring. I'm sure there are other companies out there who laser etch their boxes and have them put together by robots. However, there is no one out there making boxes that make these noises. I am MORE than happy with my bang for the buck on this pedal.

Bergantino B Amp Jule Amps M700 is said to be happy to do so by those using it. Jule has said it is probably OK, but he has not tested it at length so is unwilling to commit. A few of the Acoustic Image amps do as well.

Google Nash JB 5

[quote name='chrkelly' timestamp='1453716480' post='2961966'] Tell her to bring a tuner, I went round recently & every one of the basses ranged from a couple of tones to a full fifth flat! Spent more time tuning than playing, not good. Keep in mind too that most have got rubbish strings so it's difficult to tell how they actually sound. He seems like a nice guy though. [/quote] Thanks again. I hate to embarrass you on a public forum but the downtuned ones are meant to be like that. They are for Metal

Thanks Joe, I have copied and pasted both responses to her so she knows that he is sound

Thanks Phil. The good news is that my friend lives 2 miles away so she will likely just pop in

Anyone have any experience of http://thedoublebassroom.com/ ? I have a friend fancying something there and she just wants to make sure he is ok.

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1453150932' post='2956941'] So I imagine a five string (with everything else vintage accurate) would be out of the question? [/quote] If it was remotely an option from Bravewood I would already own one. It is not an option

These are getting a lot of love at the moment http://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_5_awh.htm?ref=search_rslt_sire+bass_351749_12

And?

If you are enjoying it but never saw yourself as a DB player then you could always get it fretted. I have a fretted NS Omnibass (which is for sale, but only so I can comission one with 6 strings - but this is not a derail to push my sale) and I totally understand the hand position thing. It is very easy on wrists and everything.

[quote name='therealting' timestamp='1452951909' post='2954998'] That is stunning. [/quote] Thanks, I enjoyed the whole process, but ultimately sold it because I just have too many basses and wanted to move "bass money" into a different amp.

I have used a Korg tuner for years and years. I then lost it and picked up another one. I cannot imagine any Korg tuner doing anything other than a good job. And it looks lush. That does not hurt

If I was to do it again I would pick a Lakland JO5 2nd hand. Their second hand value seems to have crashed. I would then strip it and get it sprayed by https://www.facebook.com/Retro169/?fref=ts .
