I think the tort looks great. I have a Jet jazz bass, liking it a lot. My first encounter with roasted maple, does feel good. It's pretty heavy though. What's your P weigh, in actual kg?

As not heard at Shea Stadium?

Tongue-hanging-out emoticon. This, or a Shuker? I'm new to Sandbergs. What's this Elektra range? Is it their Squier?

'flat' always sounds very middle-y on a bass. I think Bob knew that and realised that no-one would want to boost the mids, hence the options are 'flat' or 'cut the mids'.

There's suddenly so much online interest in these that the CIA are going to start making enquiries... Looking at the schematic of the 400 preamp (because I'm nosey and I've read this month's Viz), it looks like "flat" eq is with bass and treble at 12 o clock, and the mids both at max. Am I right?

Pern?

It says "may induce nausea and vomiting if ingested". I tried some, and it really did do exactly what it says on the tin.

That it is. I'd never heard of paint protector, could use that throughout my house, garden, studio and bogshed...

It's paint isn't it? Tuffcab?

Hi Phil, could you link to this?

I'm just wondering what that combo weighs 😵‍💫

If the pot or jack had rotated and accidentally made contact with a correctly wired shield, as often happens in a tight cavity without insulation, the signal would be cut out. OP reports a 'orrible 'um. 99% certain he's wired the shield to the wrong end of the pot.

This is definitely worth investigating

So if you were standing four feet away from the drummer you'd hear him before your guitarist did, also four feet away but not using iem...

Bass (for me at least) is always a bit meh at TV volumes (or in headphones). I need to be able to feel it. Not necessarily trouser-flapping, but a bit of haptic feedback. Maybe a gaming chair? Or one of those drumstools with an inbuilt vibrator. That's probably the wrong word. But you know. Then a modeling pre, and a $5 combo from Argos.

Whereabouts are you (or would you post the item)? I've fixed a few micro USB faults with my awesome soldering skills, it's a shame to bin something that could be repaired. Pm me.

Is Alex still here? In another thread in this forum,celebrating the Gallien Krueger class AB amps, someone linked to an interview with Bob Gallien. He says he designed the power supplies to be "not too stiff", ie with small reservoir caps so the amp was deliberately designed to behave as Alex says here. I find that a bit odd. Sure enough, the schematic shows half as much capacitance as I'd usually expect to see. These are great sounding, sought-after amps, no-one complains of them lacking weight/heft/loudness.

No it's cool, making assembly drawings from the altium files is easy. Pm me your address.

I had the altium schematic and board on screen. I can make assembly drawing pdfs if you want to have a go.

Not often that I feel the need to reply "nice, congratulations..." etc to a nbd post. but that does look like it (or its brother) should be hanging round my neck. Sounds like?

I have Newtone Shorties on my 30" JagWah, very impressed with the weight and clarity coming off them. And the 4 strings seem to be ageing gracefully at the same rate (uneven tone between strings as they lose their zing grinds my pods big time) How much of this is down to the shortscale I don't know. but I will be trying the 34" version at some point.

Top tip, thanks!
