neepheid Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Tracking's gone dry, projected date of today has disappeared and been replaced with... nothing. There's a worrying line in the tracking that Andertons links you to - "DISCREPANCY SCAN". Getting the sinking feeling that they've "lost" my one. If so, that'll be the second bass of mine this year D!ck Heads Limited has eaten. FFS. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Interesting, I noised up Andertons and they got back to me pretty quickly, and they see "Discrepancy scan" as "Misrouted". This makes sense now as I've seen a further "Discrepancy scan" in Edinburgh. So looks like it might be getting to me, but taking a "pin the tail on the donkey" approach to getting a parcel to Aberdeen... Edinburgh, close enough, innit? Scotland, innit? EDIT: It's starting to look like a case of "got put in the back of the wrong van/truck". If it is indeed in Edinburgh this morning then fingers crossed I'll get it tomorrow.

Still has to pass through Fife and the dreaded Ballingry Triangle though. I'd order another; once in there, nothing ever gets out again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there's a three-way traffic light system in operation at Drumnadrochit; a landslip near Pennan and flooding across Fyvie. Don't wait up. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 We had a thread about these a couple of years ago. Original link's dead but it looks as though they were £500 originally. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/454902-soloking-bass/ Anderton's flogging them off at half original rrp, presumably.

neepheid Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Well, it has arrived. Pics soon (I'm supposed to be working...). First impressions favourable/good/great. More details soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Mini toggles are 2 way, series/single. So a coil split, that's all. Was getting confused because the specs mention a 3 way control but they're talking about the pickup selector blade. Can also confirm that the jack socket cup isn't so deep as to prevent the use of right angle jack sockets (Neutrik ones at least). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the switches are there and the pickups are already split at the series join - wouldn't take much to replace the switches with 3-way ones and rewire if one was so inclined.
