Stub Mandrel

I would power a preamp with a separate, linear, power regulator - just based around a 7809 or 7812 to give it the cleanest possible power source.

Yet...

Only when playing my Flea bass.

Looks a tad large for woodworm, probably some larger beastie. It will have got in before the wood was painted. If it's a whole batch could prove expensive (unless they become sought after collectors' items).

So share the best kecks for your style of music.

In the UK if one of these doesn't cure it the EMI isn't getting to your gear via the mains: https://cpc.farnell.com/bulgin/pxd301-550-01-1/power-outlet-iec-5way-10a-emi/dp/CN16585 Probably cheaper alternatives out there, EMI filter is what to look for. <edit> It probably has the same electronics inside as the Citronic box...

Fine when it serves the song. Embarrassing when it's an angst-fueled pop-tastic slap-fest...

1990 was to 1991 like 1977 was to 1978. (Check out the number 1 hits in each year...)

Going into business Ricky?

Well just to make sure no-one else patents the idea, it was standard interconnector that could be fitted as a socket beneath pedals in parallel with standard power and signal jacks as well as custom ways for each pedal (for expression pedals, programming etc.) so all the power and interconnects could easily be provided, unseen, from beneath on a crowded but neat pedalboard with moveable matching connectors. It would be an opensource or licenced connector so that it could be adopted by multiple manufacturers.

What's the odds you eat it all by the end of the week, let alone keeping it for September!

Bugger! I invented that system last year and tried to sell it to a pedal manufacturer who said it was unlikely to fly because we agreed it would need multiple companies to adopt it. Just as well I didn't try to patent it!

Having to tighten my belt until the house is sold and the divorce aftermath is settled so abstinence is order of the day anyway. GAS is strong but as the theme seems to be twin 'buckers it's possible an Epiphone Embassy or an EB3 might cure it come the time.

My old Pro-Bass used a compander chip to provide fixed 4:1 dynamic range compression. The chip was one Maplin used to sell that was 'lo-fi' intended for 'telecoms use only'! Worked well enough that I sold (foolishly) my old Arion stereo compressor 😞

I was so at that gig, off me Omo on Hotpoint jollies. You buggers could have said hello to me !

Sign of a true bassist. Has a Basschat plectrum Uses it as a keyring.

Egad, the last thing we want is the list doing open-source software style forks...

Don't worry, eventually it will disappear altogether 🙂

Guitarists are welcome, as long as they don't bring any guitars.

I want one in surf green with twin humbuckers

This is why eBay allows you to exclude people with unpaid item strikes from bidding.

We must stamp out the scourge of music being played in the wrong position. I even came across someone who played a fingerstyle piece with a plectrum. Naturally, I passed the details on to the appropriate authorities.

I only see ads for tactical weaponry and elite special forces training.
