    Yet Another AliExpress Music Zoo Build

    That should make a great Monday morning routine! To be honest, he's been a lot more responsive than local luthiers I've dealt with, zero complaints there.

    Yet Another AliExpress Music Zoo Build

    Still haven't got any news from Jacky, sent him a message yesterday, he said he'll probably sketch out the plans this week and get back to me next week. After watching a couple of Charles Berthoud's videos on YouTube (and GAS for his signature Schecter), I noticed Schecter has the same style of...

    Yet Another AliExpress Music Zoo Build

    So, I wanted to go over a bit on how I defined my pickup positions and maybe get some feedback from other people. First of all, even though manufacturer/builder pickup placement has changed a lot throughout the years and they most definitely have (and should have) their trade secrets, I'm going...

    Yet Another AliExpress Music Zoo Build

    I've GAS'd for a 5 string 37-34" multiscale bass for a while now, but I certainly can't afford a nice one that has all the things I want and none of the things that I don't want lol. So following the footsteps of the Music Zoo pioneers (shout out to @darkkimhari for answering A LOT OF...

    Great to know, thanks! What would be the most up to date diagram of this PCB?

    Oh, okay, got confused for a bit when you said 4x4. Thanks, but I need 5 of the shiny ones! GLWS

    How many do you have? Are these chrome or nickel?

    Line 6 Bass Pod Express

    Exactly what I mean. The Darkglass is supposed to be gritty, I guess, but a clean SVT is usable and different from a clean Flip Top, so... Wasn't very impressed by the cab sims either. With cheap IR loaders nowadays, these cab sims sound just cheap...

    Line 6 Bass Pod Express

    To me, this is probably the biggest deal breaker for me. Also, from the videos I saw online, all amp models seem to be super gainy.

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    And there are other high quality alternatives. I went for the LT1097 on my boards, they were available at Mouser when I bought the rest of the components. I believe $9 a piece. They aren't the original ones and I haven't had the chance to A/B (and I doubt I'd hear the difference, which isn't...

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    Yes, my bad! It's a C1M, A100K and B25K, bought the exact ones from the Mouser shared cart.

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    Oh wait, went through a couple of the solder joints with the hot iron and flowed them a bit and seems like I have treble now!

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    OSHPark took it's sweet time to deliver my PCBs, but finally put the circuit together and wired it up on my Sterling Ray4. I have volume and Bass control, but seems like no Treble. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? Measured the treble pot with my multimeter (both on the lugs and on the...

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    I was able to find two Panasonic 10uF caps: EEA-FC1E100 EEA-GA1C100 (based on your recommendation) For the 1uF, I found a couple of others from brands I'm not familiar with: KEMET, Illinois Capacitor and Rubycon.

    MM Stingray 2 band shared pcb design

    Yep, I have a good laugh everytime I see those "premium premade electronic harnesses" for $300 with soviet made oil caps and unicorn hair braided wire... My local electronics store seems to carry Nichicon "FG series audio grade capacitors", 5 pieces for $10 (CAD) a pop... Probably too...
