Headpiece lifting off neck

Hey guys. So I bought this bass used, and now that it’s adjusting to my environment and I’m getting a little buzz, I figured I’d give it a setup. As I went to do it, though, I noticed the headpiece was lifting off at a bit of an angle. How bad is this, how quickly do I need to address it, and how would I fix it? Thanks, y’all.

New (to me) Bootlegger Ace

Check this baby out! I know headless isn’t everyone’s jam, but my longest-running bass is a Steinberger so I love this stuff. Guy replaced the electronics with Bartolinis: original splits up top, classic bass down below, 2-band preamp with concentric treble/bass knob. Even gave me an extra set of pickups in the opposite configuration, the original pickups, and a sweet Italian leather strap, plus the hard case. Hell of a deal, a little hard to slap and pop on account of the layout, but I’ll get used to it!

The Call

So with Chaos Reshaped bugged, I was considering dropping it from my trusty Call and putting something else, but… what?

I have Slice for the artifact synergy, so then I’m thinking maybe Aggregate Charge since it’ll have at least two debuffs after the first shot, assuming it’s after a roll, and hopefully a 3rd from all the Jolt and Blind I’m throwing around on that build. Still, that means no damage perk on the first shot, and I mainly use the thing to one-shot orange bars, so that would kinda suck and kill ammo economy. I’d also need every shot to have Unravel, Sever, and Jolt to maximize damage instead of just taking damage or switching off my primary after the last add kill.

Multikill Clip: same story. Easier to proc, but that’s three targets I gotta kill first when I’m trying to use this on tankier enemies and as a debuffing tool.

Hatchling? Works with the artifact synergy very well, but no direct damage buff, so I’ll be wasting more time and ammo with its intended purpose unless I’m wasting red bars with it.

Golden Tricorn? This is on my Shinobu’s build, so no go, though it might be an option for Prismatic.

Maybe I just YOLO it and keep Chaos Reshaped? I’m healing a ton off Bolt Charge and Shinobu’s anyway.

What do y’all think? I’d appreciate… 😎 a Response.

Pedal Power Question

Hey fellas,

So I recently managed to snag the first two Automatone pedals as I wait for my Big Time to ship, and I have a Cioks 4 expander that can be used standalone. If all 4 ports on the Cioks can do 9 volts 660 mA, but the Big Time needs 1000 mA, can I use the parallel adapter to sum two outputs and run all three pedals off the one unit? This is provided I’m powering the Cioks 4 with a 24V DC adapter, of course. I know a USB PD brick won’t cut it, but it should work at full power, right?
