Just bought a wonderful AV2 Jazz bass from Ian. True gent - amazing deal and comms, and packed to survive anything. Deal with complete confidence. 🤘👌🤞

Some very interesting ideas in his rig! the switchable talk back mic makes alot of sense!

You've got almost a thousand posts here, you should know by now that nine is nothing to some of these nutters. 😁 Basses here. Although that page of the new site is even less complete than the other two so no judging please. I don't have anything too wild, but by and large they do different things. The last bass I sold was a Spector because I had two Spectors and whenever I wanted to play a Spector I always picked one of them and not the other. Didn't make sense to keep the other one. They have to be a little bit different to keep it interesting, or at least that's what I'll tell myself when the OP's red Stingray goes for sale. 🫣 What are your three?

Very nice. Expensive basses but you sometimes get what you pay for. Dave

Yeah it’s pretty spot on, just don’t have a use for it for the stuff I play. I like the PiRate muff! Feels and sounds organic. I like it better than duality fuzz. I can go pure chaos or something synthy. I wonder what’s next. I hope they optimise bank switching so there’s no lag. Also a better darkglass suite where you can arrange and set your chain there like Helix editor.

My desk. A pair of Roland Cakewalk powered speakers; Kurzweil SP76 piano; E-MU Classic Keys Module for extra sounds; all into a Xenyx 802 mixer (plus a line-in for the bass guitar); which all connects to a Yamaha AG03 mixer/interface. The PC is new, too - the old one wouldn't run Windows 11, and only had the ability to drive one PC monitor. All this will change next week. EBay, basschat, and Thomann have together worked to enable a major upgrade.

Indeed, but it looked like it was designed by Elon Musk... That said, I really like my BassLab L-Bow V, excellent on all aspects, and feather light as it's hollow carbon:

And there's my wife asking why I need 3 😁 Do you have any duplicates or are they all completely different from each other?

All about planning, I can get 8+ basses in this….

we built this city - Starship

We have a tiny little country cottage but I make room. Priorities indeed. I've currently got 9 basses, which for example is 9 more basses than kids.

The OP drops a bone with the barest morsel of meat on it and basschatters make a banquet out of it.... but I guess it is a place to chat about basses... even so!

Looks like nobody read this, after the piezo tweeters used were mentioned:

Longer throw, via the speakers being in the nearfield condition so the level drops by 3dB per doubling of distance rather than 6dB, only occurs when the line is at least three wavelengths high. That's easy enough at 5kHz or higher, not so much at 100 Hz, where three wavelengths is about ten meters. Wider horizontal dispersion, twice as wide above roughly 300 Hz, is the main advantage with other than Grateful Dead Wall of Sound back lines.
