Nicely done!

I've decided to abandon bass number two as the neck has warped, so the timber was obviously unstable.
Instead I'm making bass number one, headless. I always hated the bridge, and even though the ash body was quite heavy, neck dive was still a problem, so…off with its head. The headpiece I got with the bridge is pretty cool, it does'nt require double ball end strings, they clamp into place instead

Could be. I've found a supplier and they have through body neck blanks, a maple one and a rosewood one will get you two laminated thru necks for 50 quid each, they also have some beautiful Bubinga body blanks for 50 quid. This was gonna be bass number 3 but I'm not gonna bother now.

Hope this makes sense and you can help


Have got myself a sansamp vt character pedal and want to get the pedals signal only through my ampeg portaflex head by bypassing the main controls on the front of the head as to not interfere with the tone of the pedal

Instead of using the send return can I just plug the output of the pedal into the return input and use the volume on the pedal to control the amps output ?

I reckon I can but I don't want to blow s#$t up

Thanks

I'm not sure Marko I think the gain and tone controls might still be engaged with the loop but I won't have a chance to try til the weekend with my gear as we are using a studio on Friday night for making a noise for a change

Ive given the vt pedal a quick run through on my rumble 75 combo with all tone at 12 twelve on the amp and like what I hear so far


I do like the clean p bass rumble for most of our tunes but was looking for that vintage svt tube overdrive sound for the more aggressive stuff without losing bottom end

Hopefully no smoke signals from southern england Saturday afternoon, you can email me your payment details
