    The Passinwind Open Source Preamp

    Still waiting on the op amps for my project, but looked at starting to wire up the pots. To my dismay the pots from the parts list are 3/8" but the holes on the bass are 6mm.

    Gig Bags: Gator Commander vs Fusion F1

    I routinely commute to work in Seattle with my Squier 5-string J-Bass, as it affords me an solid hour on the Ferry to practice each day. Of course, I also am carrying my laptop and various and sundry work-a-day items. Gets a bit awkward with both a case and laptop bag, not to mention my back. So...
