You haven't heard Live at Leeds, have you? 😉

Beedster: I waant it, I waant it, I waant it All: Caaant havvit!!!

First album I ever bought (Who's Next shortly after) and by Timothy was it magical and visceral to an impressionable adolescent.

Live at Leeds was the FrankenP (a Precision rebirthed from the wreckage of Precisions that Keith or Pete had had arguments with), I'm led to believe, no Gibson parts were used.

As shown though, it's not a notch-T filter. It's a 1st order high pass. I suspect the kit you have is based on a schematic that's missed a few bits. Easily done. Anyway. Build it, see if the mid control does as it should, if not we can look at what might be missing.

I mentioned in Bert's original thread that, having looked at the schematic, I couldn't fathom how the mid control was anything other than a bass cut. Here's the relevant section: With the mid control anticlockwise, C7, C8, R9 and the subsequent circuitry form a high pass filter. Turning it clockwise progressively bypasses this, so bass is restored. Now here's the "CL" circuit from the Ampeg SVP-CL (essentially a mid-cut "scoop") C18, R33 and C17 are the HPF here. But parallel to that we have R37, C16 and R36, a low pass filter. I think that by adding a circuit like R37, C16 and R36 (but with different values (the following stage of the Ampeg has a high input impedance) across the middle pot in the Traynor-a-like, the mid control would become a variable 'scoop' rather than a bass cut. Or, as Neepheid might say: a meringue?

I know Beedster loves him a Precision, so why not P neck on a Thunderbird body?

Have you built this yet? I think there's an error in their schematic. Adding a couple of resistors and a cap to the middle control would turn the control into a variable "scoop". Like the "classic" setting on the ampeg svp CL. As it's shown on their schematic it's just a bass cut. I can post an annotated schematic if you're interested, and when I'm near a computer.

His state variable crossover fits the bill nicely, continuously variable f so you can experiment. I've built and use a couple. Very useful. Shipping isn't too bad, well worth the $.

I haven't, but thanks for the share - that's a really interesting circuit, never seen anything like it. It's like a dirty version of the Trace dual band compressor, only with three bands and clipping instead of 'nice' compression. That 'middle' control - I can't see how it could do anything other than cut the bass as it's turned anticlockwise. Fully clockwise C7 and C8 are out of circuit and the preamp goes straight to the tone stack. Am I missing something? Also a Shellac/Jesus Lizard/Big Black bass tone fan. I believe a Rat might also be an ingredient of David Wm Sims' tone. cheers

Yeheyeno, I was just remarking that 2mS latency is less than nothing (as it were). Anyway. My £400 earplugs should hopefully be arriving in time for Saturday's gig, so I can experience faster-than-the-speed-of-sound travel for myself:-)

Yes. It's probably not as strong as pva but it holds the bracing nicely in a slot.

Top tip: rout a 6mm slot into the panels. Fill with foaming flooring adhesive https://amzn.eu/d/frLAMMw 5.5mm ply bracing then fits snugly and is going nowhere.
