Yes, they really are that good![/quote] mm, thats got me worried now, could my necks not be that stable? as if I tune back up from dropped to standard, the other three are really flat, like un-playable!

I use Std strings, and go between standard and dropped d, also tune to C and drop C with "normal" strings. One thing I have always thought of, is when I drop to D, I always have to re-tune the other 3 strings, I just assume that the change in tension by varying one string, causes the tension to change on the other three, so if I used a hipshot etc, I guess I would still need to re tune the other three, so in reality, are they that good? Never used one so I am just assuming.

Maybe its just been a long day at work, but I look at the bass and think......................[attachment=66045:47CherryNougat.jpg]

I have just zoomed in as best I can, it looks to me that some of the solder joints have 'Bled' and are so touching where perhaps they shouldnt. Hard to tell from the picture, but if you know any one handy with a soldering iron, first thing I'd do would be to 'clean up' all the solder joints on that board. Another thing that might be worth trying is to connect straight to the pick-up, so as to by-pass the EQ just to make sure its not a fault with the pup, although I doubt it is. Not that familiar with the chip on the board, but that could be the issue....Given the strange noises its putting out.

Dude, Can you take a good close up of the back of the board showing the solder joints -

I can't remember who makes them right now, but someone does these pedal lifter panels that are basically just brackets designed to lift pedals a predetermined height above the surface of the board to help access without needing to get a custom board. TBH, you only need about an inch extra height to ensure sufficient clearance on pedals, particularly on a sloped PT board - the two step height in that Paul Lenders link above is only to accommodate a power supply within the step. That's another thought... what do people think about hiding power supplies and other doo-dahs under pedalboards vs having everything visible and topmounted? Paul Lenders does the former (evidently for neatness cos they look sweeeeeeeeet), but people like Bob Bradshaw (Custom Audio Electronics) advocate everything being surface mounted on the board so that you can see/fix/troubleshoot anything without having to dismantle the entire board.[/quote] For me - the neater the better - this is still a very much work in progress but you get the gist :- [attachment=64375:pedal_1.jpg] To be honest, i think i have made it a bit high, but it cost about £8.00 so am not that fussed!
