Also overkill, but the boss ls 2 has 2 volumes and allows for cycling through a>b>bypass, so technically 3 different volume levels

A producer switch

Bollsen Music sound pro I also use the same brand for sleeping and also for motorcycle. They are the most comfortable (universal) earplug I have tried so far, even when sleeping on one side or under motorcycle helmet (in case that's relevant when you're gigging...)

If it sounds right, then it is

Did anyone here order in European Union? Any experience to share concerning customs? (I'm located in Germany and that's scaring me a bit)

No worries, I have an engineering background, so I'm used to all these units (and multiples). I knew about Peukert's law without knowing its actual name, but I never realized it could reduce the capacity so drastically. Do you know how the different battery technologies behave? I think you...

mAh stands for mA (milli-ampere) times h (hour) and is the energy of one mA (at a given nominal voltage, so that current times voltage = power) delivered during one hour. So a battery capacity of 4400mAh contains the amount of energy of 4400mA drawn during one hour or 440mA during 10h, etc...

Simplifying the math, 4400mAh would be actually a bit more than 4h with 500mA+500mA+22mA, you may argue that the full capacity of the battery may not be available but still... and I hooked a multimeter on the zoom out of curiosity, result was that the average current consumption is closer to...

Does it have to be new? Not sure the current market prices, but 2k should get you a secondhand Dingwall, especially if you're not in a hurry to buy. And if you later decide don't like it, you'll easily sell it without significant loss. If shopping for multiscale, you may want to check the scale...

The sewing machine bobbins idea is genius!

It's a tight fit, but no extra routing was needed. I just took the opportunity to cover the whole cavity with some copper tape leftovers. Not much modification needed: pickup wires were on screw terminals on the original switch, so simply unscrew I had to separate the individual pickup wires...

I just took the time this weekend to play around with pickup configurations on my D-Roc. I made a 3-way rotary switch with reconfigurable pickup combinations (using DIP switches) plus additional internal series/parallel switches for each pickup. Each of the three selector positions can be...

the Joyo JP05 is battery powered, which is quite convenient: - you don't need to have a power outlet close to you pedalboard, only run audio cable there - for long rehearsals/at home, you can still operate it with external power while charging and the number of output is more than sufficient...

for both guitar and Bass: Dunlop Jazz III XL in red because: - they are faster (same as red cars) - they are a little less easy to lose (same as red/orange tools)

May I ask whether the clipping issue that was reported on the old version of the MS60b (see https://www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-ms-60b-clipping.1287070/ ) is solved in the new MS60b+ ? Can anyone report on this?

My black 5 String D-Roc came with black Hardware (I bought it second hand, but the new minimalist bridge is also black, so I guess that's what came stock). And the previous owner even mounted a detuner on the B string (with the matching color)

I bought a set of flats when I discovered that the "spare parts" of an old fretless where actually a complete bass. Story is quite fun, I replied to an add for a cheap MM pickup and while talking with the seller, he told me that it comes from an old bass (that was converted to fretless) that he...

I'm a happy owner of a Magellan 350 combo (which I bought a few years ago) but I'm just wondering how you guys handle this: The combo consists of: Head + cab + mounting hardware + speakon cable. I love the modularity, having the option of separating the head from the cab, but in a "combo...

Dingwall D-ROC 5 (made in South Korea): 45.5mm (measured)

Did not read all previous answers, but my experience is that a multi-effect is a good way to try out effects, understand how they work and get trained at hearing some effects, so that you can better figure out for which effects you want to buy quality pedals and also what qualities you then you...

And when both reversed, which direction do you turn the strap at the bridge side? how many turns? ^_^

I do reverse for neck and regular for bridge, works for me and I can use the same strap for my D-Roc and for my Epi T-Bird (where reverse bridge would not work)

Indeed, I started getting some parts and the switch is higher than the cavity, but I'm hoping that delicate bending of the pins would do the trick.

I'm thinking about making a 6 position switch for my D-Roc keeping the 4 default configurations but with (internally) reconfigurable configuration for the 2 additional positions, so that it is easy to change the pickup combinations (without soldering) but when playing, the options are still just...

Korean D-Roc (but that's a fiver...)

Thank you all for the answers concerning the pickguard. So I understood the Vinyl film is definetely a viable option. I also perfectly understand the appeal of the pure-black aesthetics but it looks a bit too "metalhead" for my taste maybe... (buying second hand, I did not pick my first choice...

Joining the club, I just bought a second hand D-Roc Standard 5 in black. Previous owner got rid of the pickguard, swapped the knobs (I guess...) and mounted a Hipshot Xtender tuner. I'm amazed by the unplugged sound and the feel of the bass. Just a few question for the Dingwall specialists...

You mean something like that? (6 position 4 poles) Rotary 4P6T How about the depth? There is also a thinner 6pos-2poles variant, but I don't see how you would get it work with only 2 poles, but maybe I've overlooked something.

The connector in the orange circle contains: - GND - preamp supply voltage ("from" power/IO-board "to" the GP12 preamp board) - preamp audio output ("from" the preamp board "to" the power/IO board, in the amp versions this is the input signal for the power amp section, here, I guess this is the...

Correct, in the XV the jumper between R and B is replaced by half a 12ax7. From what I can see, the remaining half is left unused. The orange circle is the connector that connects to the power/poweramp board of the amps containing GND, supply voltage, Preamp output and headphones signals. The...

I took a picture from the (same) preamp board on my Series 6 GP12 (AH200). With a bit of backlighting, it is easy to see where the connector for the valve circuit (which is not populated here) sits in the circuit, between the R1/R2 junction and R3/Gain-Pot junction: (from the preamp...

Just a little hint in case somebody has the same amp humming: In my case, the hum reduced quite significantly after checking the gound connection to chassis: unscrew, scratch and clean the contact areas on both chassis and ground terminal and inserting a lock washer between the terminal and the...

Yes exactly, the preamp is the one of the valve series quattra head manual, which is also the "usual" series 6 GP12 preamp (as written in the bottom right corner of the preamp schematic) with the added valve module (which schematic and connection points are a bit unclear yet). Since the preamp...

It has just arrived, I didn't test all inputs/outputs yet but it works well so far. So I just opened it for a few pictures and to find one plastic washer from a jack connector that was rattling in the case. Here is an overview, it has three boards, the classic GP12 preamp, the valve add-on and...

Thanks for the documents So it's basically a classic gp12 series 6 with an additional valve somewhere in the circuit. I guess there will not be a schematic for the complete circuit, but we have all the parts of the puzzle. I just bought the preamp second hand and was advertised as "untested"...

Hi, did anybody find something? User manual and/or service manual/schematics would be highly appreciated :D

I also had a series 6 200W 4x10 combo (that have been converted into a head+box by the previous owner) but sold it a few years ago. Now I just got a AH200 (19" rack head) because I was missing it. The only thing that bothers me is that it produces some mains hum through the speakers...

Guys, that's really funny. I just got one as well and the controls seem also to be vol neck/vol bridge/tbx. Note that with the switch in the middle position, if one volume is zero, both pickups are mute, the TBX is also not really effective so far. I found this (amazing) collection of bass...

I think that's similar as comparing a professional engineer or a guitar-maker (selling his products or working for a company) and a DIY freak making pedals/amps/guitars/you name it in his basement. They don't do it for the same reasons but both are perfectly fine. In the first case you rely on...
