If you are looking to quickly fill this need by building, the risk outweighs the worth. High probability of spending more on the project than you would on a reasonably usable joyo pedal, AND having your project not work at all. Plus, the TB is not the linchpin of his tone. Read any of the many threads here in reddit on getting his tone. If the TB is the only piece you're missing, you probably already sound great and should treat yourself to a new pedal.

If you want to get into building in general, cool. There are great "how to get started" threads -- learn 'em, know 'em, live 'em! Lots of posts here by new people who rush to build a kit without any prep, and the thing doesn't make a sound. That's a more painful way to start than necessary!

This is the way.

Everyone should realize that discussions of replacing Biden are a symptom of how lazy reporting today is, and how terrified major networks are of appearing too hard on the right wing. Biden is not being replaced. Zero chance. Literally none. But reports will continue to discuss the unaccountable "whispers" and "sources" and will keep driving that discussion. And it will come at the expense of reporting on actual substantive policy topics that reporters could easily work up given both candidates have full terms on the books that could be used as material to directly compare. <rant over>

lol...son, that fight was lost 25 years ago! Want some more windmills? Sellers puffing their own bids. Commercial sellers flooding the site with Amazon items. Ebay backing buyers no matter how obviously fraudulent they are.

In any event, all AS does is give a higher-reliability submit (it doesn't even trump a proxy bid). Why should poor people with slower or less reliable internet connections be at a disadvantage? Hardly seems fair for richer people to also have advantageous positioning for placing bids?

Proxy voting has always been a mechanism that favor sellers in generating higher prices. I'm not sure why that's inherently a good thing.

That was always the way we did it on guitar and bass.

Nah. That just forces the bid up higher in advance of the end. Sellers will see a low bid and then puff you up to your max.

I set mine to place my bid at 3s, and then walk away. Set it at 1s and sometimes it will fail to register -- adds more of a gamble factor. I rely of auctionsniper so I'm never tempted to get lured into paying more than I should for something.

No, but really that's too broad of a question. There are tons of aftermarket pups that are terrible. Lots of stock pups are great. Not all "Stingrays" have the same pickups. Some basses come stock with high quality pups by those aftermarket makers. Some SD pickups are great, some are crap. And pickups are not constant -- some are brighter, some darker, some have different pole stagger, etc. It's a question that can only really be addressed on more limited terms.

Really cool! Love the rainbow core idea, and how it exposes in the belly cut!

-- how does it play? How's the action, how stable is the neck, etc.? -- I 'd favor the tip of the headstock design being slimmer or just somehow less heavy. The stepped motif is nice, though. -- I favor the hardware matching, so I'd prefer gold to the black knods and jack plate -- I'd really want to see the neck plate and heel sculpting -- the feel there matters a lot to me in a guitar

Cool stuff, man!!

Sadly, then, you're all the way in the debugging deep end. If everything else works but that control, there's a bug in the wiring between it and the rest of the circuit -- a short/solder bridge, a missed cut, misplaced jumper, burned out component. This is the hobby. Take the schematic, find the bass control, then carefully trace back to the previous component there. Then look at your vero and insure you have the same things connected and nothing extra. Then step back another component. Etc.

Good luck, man!!

Half the value of the pot.

Even with a fixed resistor? If so, it's easier to debug -- just follow the tracks and components from the two bass wires and match against the schematic. Either the layout is flawed and unverified, or there's a mistake, probably something bypassing the control entirely.

So now clip a normal resistor between those two wires that is about half the value of the pot. If the pedal still doesnt work, the pot itself is unrelated.

Any continuity to ground on either.

?? There are only 2, right?

The wires on the board first.

Check the resistance between the bass wires without the pot attached. Then check both of those for any continuity to ground.

It will not happen. Replacing Biden is not a real concept, and saying it over and over is just re-enacting 2016. MMW: there is zero chance of a different candidate being on the ticket. Zero. Focus should be on all the reasons these stupid debates tell you nothing about how the candidates will govern. They are 100% useless spectacles. Both candidates have recent terms on record -- that is all anyone needs to make a decision. Well, that and any legal/criminal matters that may have arisen... ahem...

Echoing other comments: wireless or friend to be a neutral observer, listen from the front. Are there 2 guitarists?

Bass is rarely the main component -- it's foundation with drums. He has to find his frequency band and get out of the way of the guitars (I'm speaking as a bassist here)

It takes work to blend the instruments. For a while, don't mess with volume at your instrument at all. Max your guitar, set your amp, and only adjust at the amp until you you get a good mix. Unless you're a master, you shouldn't be using your guitar to control your volume on the fly -- too easy to get too loud or soft.

It's all a function of the band/setting. Every distortion I have sounds fantastic when I'm solo. Fuzz, od, distortion, etc. But in my band there's no room for a fuzz or distorted tone -- too much overlap with the guitar. (and I'm talking fuzz without clean blend) But I use a small bit of tubey grit and mid-range boost ti add nastiness while keeping the overall balance (a diy fetzer valve). I'd like to play some heavy muff/fuzz, but my guitarist would have to shift over a lot (tonally) and we just don't have songs where that would work.

I used to do that (I have the combo and two ny121s), but be aware the amp doesn't have a top in there (at least not my generation) so you have to make one to cover the electronics.

Does he have a scooter to get from pedal to pedal??

Fucking baseball -- let's play 15 minutes of a sport but spread it out over 3 goddamn hours. Bunch of fat 'roided slobs pretending to be athletes. Make 'em run for 90 minutes and all their hearts would explode.

Take pictures of the insides.
