    OK. Happy to have another try if I know it's worked.

    Used napkin? We used to dream of a used napkin, all we had had were a couple of broken leafs and twigs from t'tree that we glued together with our own spit and blood, and that was if we were lucky. Most of time, we'd just have to stand there and hit our heads with rocks to make us forget the rain.

    The printing bit is easy, but the splines on the potentiometers trash the inside of the print and they just spin. Tried that last year and it was a miserable failure. If you know of a way to stop the splines grinding the plastic away, do say. However I have managed to get the tall push pull pot to fit by taking a Dremel to the edges and taking off a mm or so. Its very tight but it now fits. This means the volume knob on the push/pull looks OK. It might be a mm too high now. I now know how Andrian Newey feels designing the body to fit his F1 car, packaging is difficult Rob

    Looked at it and can't see anything I can configure in 1password to make it use the correct button, aka not Facebook So unless the design changes, I'll have to do it twice with 1password or manually. I'll live. Rob

    If it helps, I can reduce your embarrassing number of guitars. It's a free service I offer to Basschat members. No thanks necessary. Rob

    Thank $DEITY you are in North London is all I can say. Thats a long way from me and my bank account.

    I think it's a 1Password issue. If I do it manually it works fine. I suspect 1Password is triggering the wrong button. I'll look at it now. Rob

    I haven't done a cold start. May well be the cache. Will do so and see what happens Thanks Rob

    I've moved to 2FA, no big deal, use it for 19 other applications not including work. However I have noticed that I am being logged out after a short while, circa 30 mins or so without me doing anything. I can't see anything in the settings to indicate an auto-logout. I do run Firefox with a large number of privacy extensions but nothing there has changed for months. I also note that when I do login, the login page thinks I'm trying to use Facebook login <spit> rather than my Basschat login. Then I got back and it uses my Basschat login, not sure why. I don't use the Facebook at all. I nevre click on the button. Not the worlds worse problem. System is Mac Mini running Sonoma 14.5 and 1Password, which might (or might not) have something to do with it Is it just me or are other people having issues? Thanks Rob

    This weekends job was to wire up the control panel. I carefully thought about what to do and decided to be a little adventurous and do a slightly more complex wiring job and have a push pull knob to switch the pickups from series to parallel. The wiorking diagrams look easy enough, so ordered some decent CTS pots, fabric covered wire, a high quality and expensive CTS 250K push pull pot and 300 capacitors as it wasn't much more expensive than ordering 2-3. So if anybody needs any capacitors, just ask. First problem was the overall depth of the push/pull switch. It was a mm or so too deep, but some careful rejigging of positions, I managed to get it to fit (for some defn of fit). However, the big problem is the knobs I have are all around 19mm tall, and the CTS switch really pushes the knobs high. I can't push the shaft any lower as that pushs the base of of the knob too low. Its a compromise that currently sees me eyeing up the Dremel to carve a mm or so out of the plastic CTS casing. Any suggestions as to where I can get taller knobs, 22mm or higher welcomed. Thanks Rob

    Sure, I'll export it and pop it up later. Any particular file format preferred?

    I have just done the outline of a Telecaster Deluxe 72 in Fusion 360. If you want it, I can export it in PDF and send that up, do with it what you will then The curves are pretty well spot on, I'm going to use it to replace my very first 3d printed guitar which was kinda Telecaster Deluxe shaped.

    I'Ve played played a protype Les Paul from them and it's a very, very good guitar, indeed so good I brought it for my daughter to play. I tootled around on the other basses and they were great guitars, I don't recall thinking they were crap but I had my eye on a Rickenbacker at the time but we couldn't agree a number so my attention was a little unfocused. RWB Guitars in York have a lot of them in stock and good prices. They are also happy to haggle (a little). If you give Geoff a call and he has one in stock, I've no doubt he'll measure it for you. Really nice decent bloke I may go there tomorrow or may not depending on what t'other half says. Suspect not though 😩

    Does anyone know of any pubs doing gigs in Bridlington or Scarborough area weds 31st July or Thursday 1st August? T'other half said she'd like to go to a pub gig so I've looked but there is not a lot happening as far as I can see. Any pointers welcomed. If anybody here is playing, let me know. Thanks Rob
  22. rwillett
    We come to York regularly as t'other halfs family is here. I do know that Fulford village hall is easily available.

    There was the NW Bass Bash that was in North Yorkshire in May. We may be on the top NW of Yorkshire but we are in Yorkshire. Clapham, a few miles NW of Settle. We had people come from a fair old distance. I think @neepheid was probably the longest traveller and he came down from North of the Artic Circle. A true gentleman and welcome to come down anytime. I'll probably organise another one but there seems to be no appetite for a six monthly one. Rob

    That sounds great. Fancy doing Bridlington...?

    Funny you should say that.....
