  1. Why the higher value pots? Ah - the old A/Log vs B/Linear question; some say Log for Vol and Linear for Tone.
  2. So, I've had a bit more of a play with it and my impression is that the effects are pretty good for accentuating parts of a song (eg. a solo with a spot of chorus) and the tracking for the octave effects is spot-on. However, the overall sound with no effects on loses something; I'm connecting it via a GigRig Quartermaster looper switch and switching it in is noticeable. Based on that, I wouldn't use it as a single fly-rig preamp unit. I also made a separate two-switch box and configured that; I spent a while wondering why only switch FS5 would work, but then I found that I'd set the option to say FS4 is patch up, but I also had to set another option to configure it as a switch rather than an expression pedal.
  3. Linn Isobariks are one of the most regarded Hi-Fi speakers; they're not small, so the isobaric principle wasn't used to save space. If I had a warehouse full of kit, there'd be a pair of those Orange ones in there, next to pairs of Ampeg 8x10 and Acoustic bass bins, but I haven't, so I haven't!
  4. Well, going for the vintage P reduces your mod options. But at £99 (inc VAT, + £8 shipping), you're not going to lose sleep over it! As for simplicity, the J is about 0.05% more complicated than a P - it's just got a 2nd Vol pot attached to what is otherwise the same circuit.
  5. That's pretty much my thinking. I hadn't realised Planet Waves parts were worth that much, but on the flipside it has a builtin tuner (but on the flipside of that it has a battery compartment cut into the body too).
  6. I think the seller is a bit optimistic in their pricing... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224845497917
  7. Looking on another site, it seems that there are a number of regional guitar shows lined up for this year; almost one a month, dotted around the country.
  8. I think that almost all will, because the ones on a Fender are different sizes.
  9. The price is about the same as a new one (as opposed to another which someone has been trying to sell for £10k for a number of years) and the original bridge/tailpiece can easily be put back to bring it up to spec. Sadly my lottery win this week was only £4.40, so I find myself a bit short of available funds to buy this.
  10. Yep - a Schaller 3D (that's what they put on the 4004 and on the 4003s/5).
  11. I've had no attempt to deal with the persona in quesion and I'd fail at the first hurdle, as I'd refuse to do gift/transfer; therefore I can't legitimately flag them as a scammer.
  12. It's not the bridge - just the surround. I might try a V2 bridge/tailpiece on one of mine.
  13. I've got a couple of Thunders; I think they are really good basses in any company regardless of price. (They are quite heavy, though.)
  14. That's about what it's worth! (Real fun to have one, though...)
  15. My Cowpoke has a neck Jazz pickup at the bridge position. I think my Mustang has too.
  16. You can try a neck (or is it middle?) pickup for basses with a narrower string spacing.
  17. It could be a combination of needing truss rod adjustment, or the dreaded neck-lift; now, 4003 don't tend to be prone to neck lift, so there may be hope. However, the asking price is way too high; I'm tempted to ping the seller a "How much would you like for that £1000 bass?" message, as I don't have a 2000's Ric.
  18. Hmmm - I was meaning in the Editor (sorry I didn't make that clear!).
  19. Can someone let me know how you configure the three little black knobs/buttons just below the display, please? I tried using my lateral-thinking gene to come up with various plausible possibilities and even tried reading the manual and searching google, but nothing seemed to have the answer.
