The picture is fine, that's how it is, white from the pickup is the 'hot' the other side - black is ground.

I resemble that comment

I bought a new Traben that had the Volume & Blend pots swapped over in the wrong place. When I looked at another in GAK it was the same, I pointed out it was not as it should be according to the manual but they didn't bother about it, the usual "No-one else has complained".

I just bought a bridge from Gareth, exactly right, great comms. well packed & fast delivery. Perfect transaction with a top fella, deal with confidence. Cheerz, John

Looks about right to me I'd say real from what I can see not sure if the volume knob is a bit shiny Where's Rick?

TBH bit sick of it already Radio 2 have been playing it to death IMO, I keep thinking there's bits of several previous in it, not exactly new & original - more like a mash of some of the riffs Keef can still remember bits from & lyrics Shagger has embedded in his grey matter somewhere Can't imagine it sounding good live, if they [u]actually play it[/u] live, sorry chaps.

Part of the pleasure of having a brand new bass I'd say just wouldn't be the same without the ritual removing of the sticky stuff

[quote name='Doddy' timestamp='1350089213' post='1834573'] Gig verdict......Ace. I had no problem being heard on stage with a 6 piece tonight-even with just one cab,I was plenty loud enough. Tonally,I was really happy tonight. I've been using 10" speakers for pretty much all of my gigs since '99,and have never bothered with 12",but it was great. Importantly,I was getting the sound that I want-clear and full range (the bass was a Warwick LX5,if you're interested),even with the OC2,it never got muddy. There's no attenuator for the horn but I didn't need one because it wasn't harsh like some are,even when slapping. Plus,it was dead easy to carry. I'm not just saying this,but the MiBass 550 and the Mi12" cab is a great choice for a gigging musician,both for tone and transportation. [/quote] Sweet good to know. Cheerz, John

I built a wiring kit for Peter then he decided to have a sight seeing bass fixing drive about so he brought the bass along for a little 'fettling'. We spent a very basschat hour or two, like you do, I almost had to forcibly remove my AV '62 P from his grip before we said goodbyes he liked that one Excellent guy to deal with, no problem in recommending him completely, a diamond geezer. A real pleasure to meet you Peter, call in & say hello any time you're passing again & many thanks for the tipple I hope you enjoyed the rest of your journey around. Cheerz, John

Wot no pictures

Good to hear! I found the LB 112 a little lacking on it's own, that's why I run it with a mini 48, together they're excellent. Looking forward especially to a review on the mi10 to pair with my MiBass 220.

There is tons written about the Greasebucket if you Google it, you'll find all the info you need except what it sounds like to you Who do you know that's "junked theirs" - ask them why

You ain't seen me - right! Well done to all involved in the work that goes on behind the scenes

One problem you might find is I believe the Japanese cup & the jack socket they use is an metric thread/hole size, if the replacement socket you have is a Switchcraft the thread is bigger, if it's a replacement Alpha socket you'll be OK, except they don't last so long, which is why it needs replacing

Are they in the online shops yet?

[quote name='lefrash' timestamp='1349873724' post='1831580'] interesting! so Just to get this right in my head. You would do a full electric kit which id simply replace the originals with? il pm u for prices if you'd prefer, but Im guessing it would be an easy fix! [/quote] Yes I do a drop in replacement kit, spanner for the pot nuts & small screwdriver required & a spare 1/2 hour, (10 minutes if you're quick!) PM please if you're interested for prices & details. Cheerz, John

Hi Kongo, I would happily have a look at it for you but I'm way down South. Not the sort of thing to be sorted without hands on I fear. Good luck in finding someone local, Cheerz, John

[quote name='lobematt' timestamp='1349898811' post='1832077'] Hey everyone! I've got a standard Fender Jazz, knobs are vol,vol,tone. I wanna rewire it as master vol,pickup blend,tone.
