  1. The CLF research models do a good job of that.
  2. It is a truth universally acknowledged that you cannot spell bass without a B.
  3. I opened up the bass with the Fralins and remebered that their orientation was funky to get the string spacing. Squashing those at and angle and a P pickup into 2 Soapbar cases would not be an option. The string spacing on the bass needing new pickups is the same as this one. But I have exhausted the possibilites so can carry on with no regrets. If only I was this thorough in the rest of my life.
  4. If I was shopping now then I would be looking at this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155255113590?hash=item2425ed0776:g:yykAAOSwjRxjbV2o&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAoAKs7wKBsOYuWusEFR5IQ8pb%2F7wL9DT3VgEPGODrEadEkrIQnEbahCBMx%2B2eNIRe%2Fox2csl%2FnAS%2BV8x0Cicd1HaL5sTnFXh5tcAXpUtp22c3DgPl%2BHEF2Idk2QRJmnQQe%2FqVhZPooRxR1Jsn7%2FmEPP6m1hJ3ngB18xmxNmsnGJe6ivVkcUVjiDyOfS9hZ0OOJDXhgn7m0g%2B7tB%2FpGAP6dPQ%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR8K67aGQYQ
  5. My son is beasting an M1 MB air with 8Gig of RAM. It will be fine and dandy.
  6. Ho hum. I guessed as much, but was willing my ignorance to be hiding magic truths. As ever, it did not.
  7. As this concept has rolled around in my head, I guess the question I am asking is as follows - "If I whack a multimeter accross a pickup will that tell me if it is underwound, overwound or the other wound?". I have pickups I like. If I could buy them again and use them, I would. But that is not an option so I need to see if I can do it differently. Thanks
  8. Why do I have an Ebay saved search? What is wrong with me? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/234779745517?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l1120&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=9f386ffd4b7f42c38b00ecb3989b05a6&bu=43179471648&ut=RU&exe=0&ext=0&osub=-1~1&crd=20221115013200&segname=11021
  9. I had a fretted Omni 5 and it was lovely. If I had a brain I would still have it.
  10. Aha! I see what you mean now. Yes, I had a new neck put on it. I was hankering after a 5 so did the rounds of various shops. Frankly I could not match the money being asked for basses with what I was feeling when I played them. So I had a new neck put on the bass I was given for nothing.
  11. Thanks. Making them is not a huge issue, it is the spec which is needing detail put into it.
  12. I have a bass which has 2 x sopabars in it. One J coil and half a P coil in each soapbar. So I can get the best of both worlds. I am not particularly happy with them and fancy different ones. I have a pair of Fralin J5 pickups in another bass which are very lovely indeed. I approached Fralin to ask if they would do me a pair of similar soapbars but they are not set up to do it. Which is fair enough. So how do I work out what is going on in my Fralins so that I can get something similar made? They were 2nd hand on here many years ago so there is no chance I can work out exactly what they are (5% underwound, normal, 10% overwound etc). Can I strap a multimeter across them and deduce what is going on in them? I am clearly utterly clueless here. TIA
  13. I agree, no need to gild that Lilly.
  14. I had one of those when they came out. I got a truly spectacular sound out of it. Then I looked for another sound and NEVER got the original one again. I was so frustrated I flogged it. But did make a £200 profit on it, so don't feel bad for me.
  15. I am not qualified to offer any opinion. But I feel your pain. That must have been super frustrating.
  16. I was hoping for 55, but sadly that has been and gone. Sorry if someone has made this joke already.
  17. Thanks, all my other 3rd parties were where I expected (bottom of the list) but this one was AWOL. The software company came back and told me to "Please restart the computer, launch Logic and "Reset & Rescan Selection" for the plugin in Logic's Plug-in Manager to validate." and then the magic happened. Interestingly, the tick box to use it was not ticked. I ticked it, reset them all and the magic happened. Thanks (as usual) everyone for your input.
  18. Logic 10.7.1 Big Sur I will have to hunt for the plug-in sub-menus cos I have not looked (and did not know to do so). I am presuming it is the 64bit version because there was only one option. Thank you
  19. The £ is probably sinking as I type this.
  20. If only I could get Logic to recognise it. I have done what I do with all plugins, and done the iLok thang but it is just not showing up after I reboot Logic. Ho hum. Any ideas?
  21. No worries. I did the 14 day free trial but could not load it without a code. Then I figured that £17.41 was not a bank breaker.
