New Gear Thread

I had a moment of panic last night when I finally got to fire up the bass pedal board I put together. I was getting noise but no signal. I could see the signal on the meters and RTA. Turned out be a crappy power supply. The signal was there but the acoustic guitar was loud enough I wasn't hearing the monitor signal over the noise I was getting and didn't want to turn it up louder while it was making that racket. 1 Spot otw.

I have a new amp! I had a Framus jazz box I bought a while back in a moment of lunacy, didn't instantly turn into Joe Pass so it was sitting idle in its case. Anyway I pushed it to a few dealers over the holidays and ended up doing a straight swap for one of the new Gibson tube combos.

I had an identical bass 20 years ago and always regretted selling it. Found one just like it. On its way... COME TO PAPA

Fender CS 1955 Precision relic

I still have my 1963 Precision bass; my parents bought it for me in 1967. It has a 1972 neck due to a broken truss rod, and it was repainted around 1970.

Here's my 1971 body with a 1972 Jazz neck.

I se that the decals on @4strings bass and mine match. Both correct for that time period.

A jazz neck should be a nice feature on that one.

It's a keeper.

Beauties above!
My Spector is about to get a new EMG P pup as one side of the original (late 80's) just died...
This is the 3rd bass to have a pup go out while sitting in a case. The other two were a 72' P and 73' J which I had owned since the early 80's.

Going down the one man IEM rabbit hole. Generally not a fan, but my current outlet - generally if I can hear myself I feel I'm tool loud for the mix.
We have gobs of aux mixes available, but in the interest of monitoring in stereo (cause I can) , I settled on a Rolls PM351 and an Amazon UHF IEM TX/RX pack with existing earbuds. I can run a mic if I need to but for this gig I'll just take one (mono) aux feed and feed that to the Line in.

Trying to figure out how to compactly and neatly get USB-C power for the TX. I have spare 9v outs. My 12v and 18v are in use and 12v is the guitar wireless which is noise sensitive. Anyone else been down this rabbit hole of trying to be the only guy on IEM?
