Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Just acquired a yellow bass cube unit yesterday. Yellow. Pretty nice shape, silkscreening is all there, just a few scuffs, no rust. Pretty stoked.
However, it didn't come with the remote. I've read enough old threads where a few people have made the remote knobs.
Just asking everyone.. in a recent post.. where can I get one? Who makes them? Also sent an email to PG, but I doubt they'll have one to sell.. can't hurt to try!
Not my actual unit, but haven't seen yellow ones before!

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
It's yellow.. it'll clash a bit with my other components.. then again, it'll pop out
I sent an email, not a pm, to Rick.. hope he'll get back to me. Heck. The guy should make a few more and sell them on ebay.
It's always drove me bananas to see people sell stuff, or pawn in this case, without all the pieces. It's a simple knob. It's not like people WELD them in the cars!
I've seen his work on a thread I found, after being told to contact Rick. Pretty nice. If I'm lucky enough to get one made, I think Ill get it powder coated black, and try to find a nice little sticker or two to put on it. It'll look nice beside the epicenter knob.
Audio stuff is worse than drugs.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
I do not make the metal mounting case, only the pcb with the components along with the cable. Shouldn't be hard to reproduce except am not in the metal business otherwise I would provide them at a bit higher cost. I did provide a 1" x 1.5" aluminium angle I had found in the garage but ran out of it a while back and can't find any of it anywhere, looked pretty nice too it had that industrial look but the small pcb was exposed no biggy if its underneath steering wheel or flush mounted on vehicle panel.
I've been so busy at work that I have not been able to make any more remotes at the moment. I do have everything ready to go (FR4 boards, toner/etch solution, components needed, free software) just have to find time which is hard to do at the moment. Trust me I'll make some before the year is over, hopefully before this month is over.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Awesome. I don't need one/it right away, I'm stockpiling and gathering my gear for next spring. I'll be building up my setup then. Car is parked for winter.
But if you're for sure going to produce a few, put me down for one for sure!
I trust you got my email? Should I bug you, or you'll bug me when the time comes?
Thanks Rick.

When you have 2 people who really want something on eBay...
A titanium version of the Cube just sold on eBay for US$255.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
I saw that crap and was amazed. Ironic the Ti DEQ is going for a fraction of that although not really with the software stuff...
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Dude! The yellow ones are very rare. Dont paint or PC it another color. Especially one of the 2 common colors!
If that is your plan, I will trade you a white or black one.

I despise painted stuff. Drives me nuts.
It stays yellow.
Still waiting for a knob to be made for it though. No rush... got till spring.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Hey Rick... could you make me a few LPL44 knobs too? I could use a couple for the M100/M44... I know I can buy them new on Ebay, but I'd rather give you the business! Hmm.. maybe even a spare or two for the future. I've noticed some of the new ones are hardwired, and some have the RJ45 plug. Obviously, I'd prefer the RJ version.trickyricky wrote:I do not make the metal mounting case, only the pcb with the components along with the cable.

And by having all the knobs made by you, they'll all match cosmetic wise!

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Sure thing, I think I was asking 20 or 25 for the LPL's can't remember. The last boards I recently etched came out wrong (circuit is wrong and I rather just toss those in the trash and start from scratch and do them right). Give me another week or two and hopefully I get them done before the year is over, the ole' 7-5 job has been keeping me very occupied and tired lol.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
I hear ya. 7-5? Hmm.. I do 6/7 to 8.. If I'm LUCKY on Fridays, I get home by 530. I usually don't - I'm the clean up guy at work, I fix mistakes and do stuff other punks won't want to do and then whine when their checks suck.
I tell ya this tho, I've only recently had all my weekends off for the first time in over 4 years.
I enjoy naps on saturdays and sundays at 1-2pm sharp.
Cool on the knob doohikies. Heard you do good work on a variety of things, and I am grateful that you will make me/us some!
I'll throw in some beer money to put you to sleep... it's what happens to me at 41 now ahahaha.

Re: Bass CUBE remote issue - need one!
Not to mention the additional 20-25 minutes to my route each way due to traffic. It's crazy, I have to take the express toll way on the afternoons otherwise a 20m drive can become about an hour drive. Don't worry guys I'll make some remotes and LPLs as well as get caught up with the few amps I have to repair...Just found out last week that my company wants me to run a job (more responsibilities, more than I want) so it may make things even tougher but I'll come through.
