There’s nothing wrong with servisol cleaner. WD40 on the other hand...

Well done! And nice bass!

How to service an amp: Unscrew covers. If there's open slots in the pots, squirt some servisol into them... give them a good rotate. (This step is completely optional) Give the amp a good vacuum and make sure any fans are free of dust. Reassemble. Done. Collect £50. EDIT: if you are servicing a combo, you may want to tighten everything to ensure no rattles.

I actually checked out their (slow) webpage and the M3 got my interest. It's basically a rip of the Wireless Rode Go (just under 150 quid). Can't find anywhere selling it though to get a price!

Pretty accurate to the <2.9ms specs.

So many questions on those... Dynamic range is pretty low ~90dB. Analogue systems tend to be around 100dB and digital 120dB. Are these things analogue or digital? The dynamic range would suggest analogue... but the fact that there is a latency even registering in the ms range would suggest digital. Typically analogue systems would be measuring latency in µs. Things in channel 70 are typically analogue. Simultaneous broadcasts on 100 channels? Huh? Analogue wise, you can only fit 4 intermod frequencies in channel 70. If you were to use a high density mode (like on the top end digital stuff, that crams 63 channels at 1mW within 8Mhz of spectrum... (more channels, yet reduced range)) you'd only get 15 units in the 863-865mhz space. The output power being advertised on these work out to be circa 31mW. If they work, they work - although check out the compander, (assuming that this is an analogue unit) especially on bass, as it can destroy your lows and make the high end brittle and harsh. Some prime BS in this marketing I think.

So German then?

I'm not sure Tata would agree with you. I'm sure they're very much about the ownership.

Ah you're right. They're Indian!

You just been fished. And that's why some people are great at social media. They know how to push people's buttons. -
That is a really neat solution. Most 12v laptop supplies give you 5A@12v so splitting that out to the block you posted and then the other split to the DHA sounds bang on the money. How about a buck transformer - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/401569620058?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=401569620058&targetid=1278608951176&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1007151&poi=&campaignid=12126090633&mkgroupid=123610917838&rlsatarget=pla-1278608951176&abcId=9300481&merchantid=7254364&gclid=Cj0KCQjw--GFBhDeARIsACH_kdaDOlfLNjOVFuqnoqLND1NQA-0afP3zq_gRTmbZFG__-MMbBZTkCvUaAilDEALw_wcB - split into that... into the tuner and then power daisy chained from the tuner output DC socket to the compressor.

And by playing them badly (we all know that he can play like a beast) - he's started conversation. Engagement. Views. Money. Brilliant move. -
This looks like a clueless somebody who has commissioned a custom bass... Sometimes a blank canvas is not in your best interest...

Wish bass

What is the collective term for a bunch of bass players?

You folks are all sour. He's found a market and he's smashing it out the park. He's a killer player and would no doubt be able to sit in on most gigs and get the job done better than most (and I would wager much better than those that are moaning about him). His style, presentation etc may not appeal to all - but the stats speak for themselves. I'm sure he's not going to lose any sleep over comments on BC. You can't really be a creator if you are going to be impacted by comments. The whole of social media is built on engagement... positive and negative. He's an entertainer... that is using bass as his gimmick. Fair play for him finding the gap in the market and exploiting it. EDIT: the fact that we are talking about it, clicking and watching - engagement - shows that Davie is winning. -
Not 24v (dont feed 24v into it!) - looking at the manual, it looks like 1200mA 12v is the required draw. Less mA would be an issue - you can use an adapter with a higher mA rating and the pedal will only draw what it needs. So for example, if you used a 2000mA (2A) adapter, the pedal would only draw 1200mA worth from it, leaving 800mA headroom on the adapter. If your adapter could only supply 500mA, the pedal will attempt to draw 800mA and the adapter will not be able to supply it... and the adapter will likely get hot (and fail) pedal will likely not operate properly as under standard load, the components will require that 12v at 1200mA. It depends what your compressor is - but getting a dedicated pedal board power supply that has 12v at 1200mA is going to be expensive. As you are only using 2 other pedals, I would look at a little 9v adapter to power those (using the through on the TU3 to daisy chain power to your compressor) - and use a 12v 1.2A (preferably more, probably 1.5-2A) to power the DHA. A couple of inline transformers mean you could hide the blocks nicely under the board - or are small enough to keep on top of the board if needs be. (Just need a Y cable into the two transformers). Make sure you use get the polarity right - guitar pedals tend to me centre negative... which is not typical - so you may need a little polarity changer adapter.

Pretty much. -
If it's not average for you, then make it so. The lower stage volume and dispersion of the band throughout the PA speakers will make your band sound so much better out front.

Then you know what to do!

From what you are saying, If you want a killer job and are worried about the feel, I'd go for a satin poly - it's less sticky - but at the end of the day, your fingers dont really touch the fretboard... so... For some insight, I have a polished poly finished neck on one of my basses... it doesnt register as anything different to my other non poly fingerboard basses. Where abouts are you? Give Bow Finishing a shout. I seem to recall John Shuker having done a poly fretness neck too. But the key thing is, once you've had it sprayed, you'll need it properly skimmed and polished.

Get it finished in polyester professionally. Any place that sprays poly for guitar bodies should be able to do it for you. It will then need to be radiused to ensure its flat and has no high spots... and then polished. Pedulla used to do this on their fretless basses - and they are super high respected. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and is strong. If down the line, it dulls, a bit of elbow grease and polish will bring it back fresh... or 30 seconds on a polishing wheel. This kinda thing - Of course, you can always have it polished then taken back to satin if you aren't into the highly polished look...
