I'm just home for the Toby Lee gig in Faversham (conveniently just round the corner from home 🙃) wow, what a fine musician, good band, lovely songs, what's not to like.

It's a very interesting head for sure. Tons of EQ. I couldn't find anywhere on the Mesa site that stated what the input impedance was. So you might need a preamp to get the best out of your realist. That output damping switch is very interesting. If you do get one the please report back as to how it works out. Mesa stuff always looks gorgeous.

Two. One grey…one red.

£90? If they last 30 years like a good set of flats should then they're a bargain.

I flew from London, England to Toronto to collect a black Spector NS2 and a white Spector NS2. I flew to San Francisco to collect a white Spector NS4.

Blimey! Just, blimey!

You fu£&er 😱🤮🤢 i bet you beat a squirrel to death on the way home as well

No. It's because I am just so damn' cool all of the time. 😎

I’m assuming that you also cannot sweat for medical reasons ?🧐 bit gamekeeper-turned-poacher, IMHO 🧐

That's a small diaphragm..?

It’s blue…

if you ever saw the videos on it all over Youtube 🙈

Aye, the blurb from Aston about the focus groups of various musos that got to pick the ‘voice’ of the mic swayed me. I paid much more when it 1st came out. They are a steal at sixty quid!

I can’t unhear that filth…

Thank you, I really appreciate that comment. It's always nice to be complemented on my photography. Mark

I could be wrong, according to Lady Maude it has happened before, but wouldn't simply resting your hand (or a finger) on the snare skin stop it resonating, in much the same way as resting your hand on your strings mutes them? I assume it's the skin vibrating against the snare, or is it the actual snare that sets up the resonance? Even if it was the snare, damping the skin with a digit would surely stop it being amplified. Too simple?

Hmm, that sounds interesting and long overdue considering the number of basses that use the Bart soapbar sized pickups. Looking forward to hearing them but in the meantime I'm going to try something else to see if it works.

£59 at Andertons. I got quite excited when I saw it at £113 on eBay, but decided to check further. Tough not to take a punt at that price. https://www.andertons.co.uk/aston-element-cardioid-microphone/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20740064305&gclid=CjwKCAjwiezABhBZEiwAEbTPGA5ZdGR_IB7_lA-I3f84O9ALZEjD1oIgz7EJODuJE2A9j_L4pZaVoBoCs2wQAvD_BwE

Interesting. Any links or pics? Thanks

It’s another Yamaha…pretend it’s a bass, you’ll be fine…

This is good to know. Whenever I buy a bass (probably more often than I should) I factor a good few hundred quid into the price to ensure I get the set up, strings and feel I want.

Can't think of a better way to start! Basement? Bass Meant! Get a nice fitting screw driver for the machine head screws, and a wipe of candle wax or bar of soap on the threads when refitting. Run a couple of practice cuts outside the area, as different wood will cut different, don't force it, let the tool do the work. Minimal sanding with one of those i think. Steady as she goes...
