My Paypal has $$ waiting on a board. As well I'm in no hurry so mark me down for one.

Once again proving your value to this community. Thanks

I would be interested in a couple more remotes. I bought one of the originals from your ebay auction.

Greetings,

Can you indicate the specifications or source for the LED and bass level pot on the original Bass Cube Remote? We've got two BC units, one with and one without a remote - and the one that has a remote seems to have a faulty LED and bass level control doesn't work sometimes. I'm hoping the one remote we have can be repaired.

This is the part listed on the original re-design, but I'm interested in the exact replacement:

VR1- 10K Linear Pot w/ push on, push off switch, Mouser # 12MDSP5830 $4.36 (Bass Level Potentiometer)

Thanks!

Neuro, I will look up the info for you on the pot once I am back in my house, but as for the LED, any standard led should be fine. White will not work, as they typically take ~45 VDC, but any 3-5v led should work perfect. The current limit resistor in the remote will keep almost any led safe.

Update for the rest of you. I put together the first remote, and got some pics of it. I mounted it in my old remote housing to make sure it fit, it does. The ones I sell will not have the mount.

Here are the pics:

Later taters,

Thanks - I understood that some LEDs can draw more current than others, so I didn't want to risk frying something in the Bass Cube. I think the bass level pot is actually working, but that my brother failed to read the instructions.

Thanks!

Thanks guys. Christian, no need to send anything. Glad I could help you out.

So, I have 3 remotes done so far. I am tackling them in my spare time. I am asking $25 + shipping for them this time around. That will include a cable for the remote custom made to any length w/in reason. Shipping will be ~5 in the US and includes the cost of a padded envelope (the damn things are actually quite expensive). This is the deal for our contributing forum members. I will have them on ebay as well, and will probably be asking $35 + ship on ebay.

If you sign up on this board because google led you here looking for a BC remote, well unless you plan on sticking around and being a valuable part of our community, then please just get one from me on ebay.

All you folks that have been PMing me, well, I hope you are keeping an eye on this thread like I suggested. The remotes are going first come first serve. I am not keeping a list, it is too much trouble. So, if you still want one of the first few, PM me and tell me the following:

How many?
What color LED?
How long for the cord?
Shipping Address?

I will hopefully have quite a few turned out this week. There should not be a big back up of people vs. remotes, but if you are dragging your feet after contacting me, I may not have one by the time you make up you mind.

Thanks guys! Hope you are all having a good holiday.

Later,
Jason

Post by **Jacampb2** » Sun Dec 21, 2008 11:57 pm

Seven remotes are done and tested now. I shipped two of the new ones today to board members today. I have a few others here who are pending, and I just listed 3 on eBay. item #280296553205

Thanks for all your help guys. When I get some more time off work, I will turn out a few more, so if you still need one, don't hesitate to contact me.

Later,
Jason

I'm off for the next 6 weeks. And in my field we're lucky that's all we're off.

Did mine get returned yet after you added the stamp??

Like I said, I'm in no hurry. It'll get here when it gets here. Damn postal system!

I asked my wife to put a stamp on it and drop it in the mail when she went shopping on Monday-- Well, she got half right. She forgot the stamp and put it in the mail again. I fully expect it will be back at my house again tomorrow, and I will personally put the stamp on it and send it again.

Sorry!

LOL

That's just to funny. It's all good.

Post by **smgreen20** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 3:47 am

Hay man. It just got here yesterday. Wife hid it from me till late last night. She's funny hu? Thanks. It's in and works. Now to readjust the settings inside the cube.

I never realized just how bad the other (original) remote was for this thing. The freq dial didn't work as well either. It's been this way since the time I bought it used.

Many thanks J.

It's like I never had one installed till today. It actually helped pull the image of the bass up front. Sounds so much better now.

Post by **Jacampb2** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 6:22 pm

Awesome! I am glad it made it through, even w/o the extra postage. Did they charge you for the postage? If so, let me know and I will reimburse you.

Maybe they just realized that they are the ones who f-ed up and sold me the wrong postage, so they sent it anyhow...

Later,
Jason

No charge. I wouldn't have you pay even if they did.

Thanks again.

What trick is that?

Hopefully nothing involving any smoke or fires?
