Invisible Touch - Genesis

If you read back about 4 posts or so you'll see I was telling Steve that I tried it in person and couldn't really see a mark on it. Not everybody likes piezo pickups? And yes I plugged it in.

Can i ask what Peaches song ? Stranglers ? Did a youtube search and found a few different songs called Peaches. Dave

Can confirm Vintage punches well above its weight.

King Midas In Reverse — Crosby Still Nash & Young

Chipped in as part of the BC support network, you never know. Good luck in the next phase of life's journey.

It was meant as a positive 😆

You are about to buy a bass, but the only reason not to get it is a piezo pickup that has an inbuilt preamp? If you think a piezo creates only hiss, you should test the bass. I have had an Affirma 4 (fretted), and now own a fretless 5. Both are from the first batch, 90's.

That's where the voltage and amperage ratings come in. Most wire is rated at 600V. A 1kV amp into a 4 ohm load is 63v. 14 gauge wire is rated at 15A. Said 1kV into 4 ohms is 16A. However, those ratings are for constant full voltage and current. Amps never run at constant full voltage and current. Even 50% duty cycle would be unusual.

Sounds like high praise to me 👍

As much as I adore The Who and Quadrophenia I have little time for these orchestral reworkings... Alfie Boe singing Love Reign O'er Me is hard to erase from memory... So I didn't have high hopes for this. In fact I thought the whole thing seemed a bit ridiculous. Until I saw the trailer the other day and it actually looks to be very impressive. The brief snippets of the score sound utterly majestic. A comment from someone who's already seen it advises it's about as authentic a ballet as Tommy is an opera, so make of that what you will!

Peaches is coming along surprisingly well. It's still a sod with the timing but I'm currently impressed with how well I'm learning it.

Pinegrove Leather make the best, comfiest bass straps by miles. I can gig a Gibson RD Artist for 2 1/2 hours and its a breeze

In my mind the biggie here is to be certain that there is no possibility of a short between the conductors. That would not bode well for the health of a solid state amplifier.

Turn around - Phats and Small

I think the key limitation here is that the Xvive U4 that Ian is using is mono not stereo?
