Last time I had it, don’t think I even knew it was active. Don’t remember if I ever plugged it in.
Quite a hiss/ hum playing through the Waza headphones, particularly with the treble turned up. Might be different through a proper amp, but I don’t have one of those yet. Andreas is 2 mins up the road, so might get him to take a look.
Anyone like bass guitars?

When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Newly acquired Greco, 1975
Plays and sounds lovely.

Coincidentally, they looked slightly like the American models.

Cranked up the big rig and the old Precision last night. That’s a really comfortable instrument
I’m also a fan of the “TV” headstock font, it’s certainly my favourite

Stingray Fretless is getting a set up and a tweak.
It needs a proper raise in the action.
Probably need refrets on both the MTD and the Tobias now. There’s always $ in upkeep.

Re: Anyone like bass guitars?
Played the old Rickenbacker I sold a relative last night. That big top horn seems to dig into my ribs more than I remember.
I want one of those Sadowsky 4-20s. What's the deal with those in terms of where they're made? Some say Germany, others NYC, and elsewhere.

Apparently the outboard preamp pedals now made in China
No one knows who makes the strings Roger won’t tell us
