Dual Gang... £20

So you need two mono leads? just add another mono in and out socket to the vol pedal and swap for a dual gang pot. otherwise you will need a special stereo to 2x mono jack plug lead, or a stereo lead and splitter box with short wires you wear on the strap, belt or back pocket

Going through the Amp / Cab sims of the Zoom B1 Four, It's the TE AH400SMX / TE 1048 that really sticks out! (Wish the Zoom B1 Four had the Marshall Super Bass / 4x12 Sims from the B1 On...)

I'm not familiar with the Rick-o-sound... is it just Neck n Bridge pickup wired seperate to a stereo jack? Should be easy to rewire a std passive vol pedal. Swap the mono in for a stereo jack socket... use the old mono in for the other mono out... change the pot for a dual gang, might not be bang on L & R balance.

I mask the frets (and pickups) with Masking Tape, couple of passes with 000 wire wool (0000 is finer but havent got any...) Then a dab of Autosol (motorcycle chrome cleaner) on the frets with a cloth... it dulls black... then a couple of passes back and forth along the fret with a little polishing mop in the dremmel to polish the autosol off... gleaming frets!... and maybe a quick go over the bridge plate n tuning peg ears... If no wire wool or autosol... Duraglit Wadding does a good job. Then take of the masking tape and lemon oil the fretboard... (Non Lacqured Maple, and dont tell killed by death 😉)

^ Good Spot... for a lefty would both halves logo be upside down?... unless there is a LH pickup - would the length of joining wire to the two haves be long enough, are the halves different? EA, DG? ( trying to imagine LH rather than a reverse P) Maybe ya can take the covers off and turn them round?

can we have some picks of the back...

Collet Knobs?

Ptfe plumbers tape? along the length and under, rather than around... or poke a loop in to the knob hole first...might be enough?

Mainly pics with Tort... 😉 Nightmare!

As mentione above... these turned up today... Search 'bay 'Guitar Picks Plectrum Wooden - Plain / Hole / ThumbGroove'... 3 for £4.50... 3mm at grip / groove, 1mm a pluck point... feel nice in the hand...

Ibby GSR200... £50 Gumtree...

55 The Law - Screaming Blue Messiahs (Bikini Red)

^ Nice.... It's them necks! The '07 Black one according to the Ibby Wiki Blah Blah Rosewood fretboard, looks darker and browner than the Jatoba fretboard on the '19 Walnut brown one.

Just come back for another look... great find...

Amazon... 'Guyker 3 Point 4 String Bass Bridge Tailpiece' £20... maybe quicker delivery. I loves a clean up... masking the frets, wire wool, dremel polish, lemon oil the fretboard.... Such a transformation in an hour!

A pic of the body, pickguard screw posisions, control knobs, and neck plate may also help to pin point the origin...
