    Hello Al There is no volume adjustment on Channel B. Have you tried your electric in A, without the piezo switched to 10 MOhm, and the upright in B? Cheers Gareth

    How to make a great bass better? Add a Noll preamp. Neck stack is volume on top and midrange below, pull up for passive operation. Bridge stack is passive tone on top with bass below. It's whisper quiet and suits the bass perfectly. Installed by our very own OBBM - thanks Dave! Original passive setup New active setup And the stack knobs

    Thanks for that. My understanding is that the screw Dunlop use isn't your run of the mill head, so may not be easy to find a direct alternative. However, it's no big deal really. Cheers Gareth

    Hello all I'm sure I've seen extra long screws for Dunlop Straploks somewhere in the past. I think they utilised a hex key rather than a Phillips screwdriver. Anyone know where I can find them? Thanks Gareth

    I've dabbled with Octave Mandolin, Bouzouki and Tenor Guitar, as they can all be tuned the same (EADG, high to low). Great fun to play, and the Octave is [i]much[/i] easier to navigate those thick bass player fingers around than the teeny tiny regular mandolin. Tuning is in 5ths, not 4ths, and the chord shapes are totally unlike guitar, but if you're willing to put the time in it's a very rewarding instrument to play. There are a few mid-range makes out there, especially if you consider tenors and bouzoukis as well.

    Less than a month old [url="http://www.radialeng.com/legacy/bigshotio.php"]Radial Bigshot i/o[/url] Instrument Selector and box. Only used to check all works well, which it does, and to attach the rubber feet. This is a fantastic pedal that allows for switching between two instruments and balancing the volume between them too. It's true bypass and passive too, so no batteries needed. It has a tuner out and a mute too. Currently retailing at £88 posted, I'm firm on £70 posted.

    Great amp at a great price.

    [quote name='owen' timestamp='1475933950' post='3149893'] There is an internal trim pot for gain. I have messed with it but really just leave it alone as there is plenty of grunt on tap. [/quote] This is correct, but I never felt the need to adjust it, and that was using active and passive basses.

    [quote name='BassBod' timestamp='1475932229' post='3149869'] One question - I only see one gain/volume control...so I'm assuming the input level is pre-set and you have control over the output volume of the power amp? [/quote] Correct, but rest assured there's plenty of headroom: it stays clean regardless of how hot the input signal is.

    [quote name='Thunderbird' timestamp='1475862081' post='3149376'] I am not in to the look of these basses myself but many are and I have heard a few of these ACG basses played and they sound bloody fantastic and this one is a bloody good price for what is pretty much a new bass GLWTS Fella [/quote] Thanks for that. Yes, this is a particularly fine ACG: wonderful tone and sustain, no dead spots, harmonics ring out, and the EQ system sounds immense.

    Hi Mike I always use UPS, booked through Interparcel, and have never had a problem. I've shipped loads too Last bass went to the US and was delivered in three days using their Standard service. Always insure to value and double box if you can. Good luck! Gareth

    If you have to set the gain control near the low end of the rotation in order to prevent distortion, activating the pad will reduce the input sensitivity and allow greater control range and freedom from overload.

    A/B pedal

    Lots of options out there, but I keep coming back to the Radial Bigshot i/o: uncolored, no power needed, adjustable gain on one channel to match outputs. If you decided you want independent EQ as well I would recommend the Providence Dual Bass Station.

    Best amp ever. Keen price too.

    Speak to Newtone. They will make you a set
