Richard very kindly helped me out with a 3PDT switch for my Grey Stache - top guy to deal with folks! Cheers Richard!

Well I think she's hot.....and she plays bass!

'69 Jazz This has had a refin at some point in it's life - was originally Sunburst finish as I could spy a little burst when I had the neck off.

Cool! I'll send Protium a pm - need to fix this as it's probably my fave fuzz pedal ever - and i have a few! Once again, thanks to everyone who's offered advice - much appreciated!

That sounds like a plan - cheers! How about switch quality? - I'm quite tempted to take Protium up on his offer a blue switch for a few quid if they're reliable? (I have to say this is the first time I've had a switch pack up on any of my effects pedals so i guess they're reasonably reliable? Just didn't want to be faced with replacing it again in the near future).

Thanks for the help so far guys - much obliged! I've just got home and taken the back off to find it is indeed a blue switch with 9 pins on it - thing is it now looks a bit of a daunting job to change it....I guess I'd be better making a rough sketch as to what wire goes where and maybe to unscrew the fixing on the front of the enclosure/switch to gain a bit better access to the switch inside the enclosure (IYKWIM)? Although then the switch be floating around in space? Any advice for a bit of a noob to this sort of repair? I hasten to add I'm not too bad with the soldering iron and have soldered in pick ups/preamps before now - just this looks a little bit fiddly and all the wires (8 of the little buggers) are green! Regarding the quality of the switch - what would you guys recommend? Edited for typo

I guess this isn't strictly the right place to post this query, however knowing how helpful the BC community can be... I've got a Grey Stache and the main on/off (latching) switch has packed in (so replacing it will be a bit of DIY project), I was wondering if some kind soul may post a link to the type of switch I need to order/replace it with? Thanks in advance!

Bought a Proton Filter from Kev - such a straightforward and easy transaction! Item arrived very quickly too and was exactly as described/well packed - a great guy to deal with and would definitely deal with again.

[quote name='BandmasterPete' timestamp='1403559301' post='2484013'] I love the DB 112. 2 x DB112 doesn't hurt your back. [/quote] +1 Around 7 years ago I was rushed into hospital unable to move - 3 discs had prolapsed in my lower back - too many years of playing rugby and also lifting (2) 4x10 Trace Elliot cabs in and out of my car so, inevitably I was forced to downsize. I purchased some MarkBass cabs/F1 head which I used for around 6 years. Earlier this year I was hit by a serious bout of GAS and decided that I wanted a more substantial rig again, so I bought a DB750 and a pair of DB112's - the cabs are comfortable for me to carry (I can manage one in each hand if need be), the head is a bit lumpy/awkward but well worth the effort as it sounds immense. I'd love another 4x10 (or two!) but commonsense must prevail - I've never yet been left wanting more from this rig - it's just great.

Cheers for all the positive comments guys! I'm thinking I may try another project - perhaps a P/J config? Never tried one but have always fancied one.

Cheers guys - I'm truly gobsmacked how good it sounds! It's definitely a keeper for sure.

So I've always had a preference to playing a Jazz Bass since my late teens, but over the years I've often been tempted by (and owned one or two) a nice P Bass, despite however many I've tried, I've never really been happy with them when gigging as I've found more often than not they get lost in the mix? So I thought I'd gotten to grips with the dreaded GAS, but here's my latest, self build P Bass. Warmoth Standard P Body, Mighty Mite P neck with Fender waterslide decal, Fender tuners with extender, Badass II bridge, DiMarzio P pickups (had these laying around for a while waiting for a project), CTS pots, Switchcraft jack, Rotosound RS66LD 45 - 105, Dunlop Straplocks. This was my first self build project, I gigged it last night and it sounded way better than I thought it would, I'd expected to play maybe a handful of songs with it and then reach for my trusty Jazz, but it was an absolute gem to play and certainly didn't sound muddy - although with the tone control wound off it certainly can. I did have to fettle around with the nut - needed quite a bit of filing to get the action to a decent level, but on the whole the set up was quite straight forward and certainly worth it. Definitely re-kindled my interest in P's now.

Just bought a Badass II from Alan - another straightforward deal!

Just bought a P Bass neck from Mart - straightforward speedy transaction - cool!

What do you make of the Duality? That's next on my wish list.

Just bought Steve's Sovtek Muff - totally hassle free/very speedy experience - an absolute gent to deal with - thanks Steve!

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1396794580' post='2417387'] Made a couple of changes this weekend; changed out some dirt in the lower left corner (Solid Gold FX is new, Cusack Screamer Bass replaced a Wampler Euphoria in the Wonderlove loop) and swapped places on the Suhr Buffer (now first) and [sfx] Micro Thumpinator (now last). [/quote] Nice tidy board dude - looks good.

Just got an e-mail, they're showing 6 in stock today! Think I'll pass.

Just bought a pedal off of Dan - pedal was exactly as described (as new), speedy delivery too! A pleasure to deal with - cheers Dan!
