In case it is not obvious, the only Toneprints that work with the bass amps are the ones under TonePrints Bass Amps. And also, because it is not obvious, you can not create or edit any TonePrints for the bass amps, you can only use the ones provided. The editor feature is not available.

Measure up your Ashown box. Find the volume of your new box. One of these experts will cheerfully work out what port length is required to emulate the original design tuning in the half size boxes.

As you point out there is only one place where the fundamental makes the greatest string movement and that is the antinode. That's at the 12th fret for an open string but as you point out the middle of the string is different for each fretted note. (I realise you know this of course but others may not have looked at it this way) That made me ask the question: are there any notes where the fundamental sits directly over the pickups so I took a ruler to my bass. The answer was interesting: the 22nd fret on my Jazz bass is 28cm fom my bridge so the bit of vibrating string fretted there has the antinode/loudest point 14cm from the bridge and that is exactly where the neck pickup sits. It's more or less where the pickup is on my P-bass too. Coincidence or did Leo know something?t Anyway for any point along the sting we can work out how far the stiring will move for the fundamental and all the harmonics and you can work out a 'frequency plot' for every pickup position. We all know that there's less bass from the bridge pickup and you can get a bassier tone by picking strings further away from the bridge. To save anyone doing the maths there are bits of software on the web which will allow you to slide the pickups closer to the bridge or away from it and they will calculate and print out the signal. https://till.com/articles/PickupResponseDemo/index.html

Congrats on the milestone

Yeah it’s not something I’d take out, despite them saying it’ll slip into a gig bag, it’s quite heavy

Went to an OM after my rehearsal last night. Our guitarist was on bass. Played four songs on an MM Stingray, first time ever, and it was nice. Grapevine, Paddy, McGinty's Goat(!), Crazy Little Thing and something that I can't remember.

New clip

This was my immediate reaction to the sound on the video.

The Openhagen is beautiful, but I think a large part of the high price is due to the fold flat capability that isn't really a requirement if it stays permanently in a living room. It makes postage and transportation to other locations cheaper/easier, but I think a beautiful non collapsible design could be a lot simpler and therefore cheaper. A non collapsible design could still be shipped as a flat pack to be assembled in situ.

I drank a few beers for courage and ordered the Ibanez 😁😁

Don't place great weight on advice that tells you what to do. Focus on the advice that helps you make up your own mind.

Interesting. When I saw them there were no electronics apart from amplification. Perhaps I should check out his newer stuff a bit more, too. Haven't done so for a while. I'm glad you liked their playing.

Congrats, MrFingers Nice find for Squier money. Have you had a chance to plug it in yet?
