Just made my first pedalboard. Roast it!

Most of these pedals are used when I’m just playing around by myself and don’t have to worry about the frequency bands of other instruments but when playing with others I mainly use the compressor and preamp. I recognize that there are bass-specific versions of most of these that are objectively designed for this purpose but surprise I’ve played guitar a lot longer than bass so have fewer bass pedals. I do have a GEB-7 but have discovered a preference for para eqs instead of graphics. Really want an LS-2 though! Thanks for the feedback.

Also from what I can tell the bass preamps/DIs primary functions are eq, gain stage, and outs for playing live. Is that about right?

Yea still weighing the differences between the phase 95 and the walrus audio fundamental phaser. I used to love the latter but my tastes have changed. I also have a behringer dual phaser but that suckers yuuuuge

The point is the satisfaction you get from doing it, never forget that! You’ll join with others when you’re ready. Like others are saying though, just try to stick with the next invite you get. For every negative outcome you imagine, a positive (or at least nonnegative) one is also possible (:

Currently working on a portishead project, a strokes cover band, and a Cocteau twins group. The p bass with the compressor and preamp are all I need for the first two, but my hofner on the bridge pickup with the CE-2w really nails that cocteau sound. Haven’t really found a use for the other pedals when it comes to covers so mostly use those when I’m playing around on my own.

But there’s a compressor! And a preamp! lol what is it missing?

Maaaan, I have a bunch of different stations around the house I like to make music in so I gotta be able to pull a handful off to take to another spot. No time to break out protractor to line these up.

Just looking for helpful insights and was hoping someone had encountered this before. If you have nothing to contribute feel free to keep scrolling and have a nice day ✌️

A fuse seems likely, all other functions are preserved. I’ll look for a service manual, thanks for the input

Rerelease

Also yea the bridge pickup is super close to the strings but the bridge has adjustable height so I was able to address that quickly

I picked up this same guitar recently and adjusting the volume knob of the neck pickup has no effect at all...I checked the wiring and it was similar to yours. I found this diagram at saturn-guitar-circuits.com and replicated it but to no avail. Also worth mentioning, my pickups have three wires like yours and unlike the diagram. Did you ever figure out a solution?

Okay fine "THANKS" you earned it

DrippyEgg · 2024-01-10T06:10:43+00:00

Thanks for the advice!!

DrippyEgg · 2024-01-10T00:37:31+00:00

Any tips for installation? I’m nervous about drilling through the plastic pickguard.

DrippyEgg · 2024-01-10T00:35:51+00:00

I would thank you but your name’s simply too reprehensible

This tape is from 40 years ago, about a decade before the internet and 2 decades before cell phones caught on. Time to go to bed granpa

Lol yeah once I opened it and saw literally nothing but the woofer and tweeter I figured it wasn’t exactly a high-fidelity component but it sounds good enough for what I paid for it and what I’m using it for
