The Big Bang Theory - Barenaked Ladies

I have the exact same bass also in Frost Red and had it converted to passive a few years ago when the pre amp failed. I much prefer it in a passive format, sounds more like a Fender. I went with vol per pickup and tone per pickup to use all 4 knobs.

Those Zoom pedal displays are small, something like the Boss GX 10 is much more readable. And as already mentioned - get a lightweight Bass like an Ibanez EHB.

Would something like these help you see the pedal board better? https://www.gear4music.com/orchestral/accessories/music-stands/lights

Things Can Only Get Better - D:Ream

I'm not sure exactly how long I get from a full charge as it's never gone from full to empty in one sitting, but it's a lot more than one hour, maybe five or six hours. When I practise it's usually for about an hour to an hour and a half and I get a good few sessions out of it before it needs charging. Kind of intrigued now as to how long it does actually last. Mine is the mp-2 rather than the pro but I can't see there being that big a difference.

Apparently he was a user on this site https://www.basschat.co.uk/profile/1190-lorne/

So that bass belonged to a prominent BCR community member and serial number database owner named Lorne. Lorne had several nice BCRs including a Phil Lynott played Mockingbird. The woman you bought it from was a romantic interest of Lornes, rumor is she OD'd him on drugs and he passed around Jan of 2020. The community had no idea what happened to his instruments. That Ironbird is a 1985 USA and was one of his favs, it is easily worth 10x+ what she sold it to you for. I know he had issues with the truss rod but I believe it was fixed shortly before his death. If you're on Facebook Official BC Rich Unlimited will be the place you want to be Congrats

I owned an Epifani 901 for a short period of time. I wanted to buy some rack mount ears, but they didn’t know why I contacted them . I emailed/called the company a few times about service/purchase questions.. After 3 weeks I sold the unit. For the price they charge and the “professional “ market they appeal to, I can’t believe it took so long to hear from anyone, much less Mr. Epifani, himself. I was also surprised that they did not have rack ears AT ALL for the then current production 901. I didn’t even get a vague promise, just “we don’t have those”. I wonder if I were a touring pro, how long it would take to get service if a unit were broken. I like their sound, but my experience has made me look elsewhere. I’ve heard from others that they got quick return calls and fast, personal service . I’d almost just rather know that the company is slow, rather than having no idea if they’re closed, not interested, busy or whatever. I appreciate consistency and response to customer contact and that was simply not provided. I own multiple amps so I wasn’t crippled but I would not want an Epifani as my only amp. You're mileage may vary.

I made one out of cardboard, for free. Duct tape is extra.

First , I should confess , I’m an old Pbass guy. For years I felt my old 72 Pbass was all I’d ever need. And then I found a nice Ric , and then I started buying some others. It seems these days I mostly use short or medium scale basses. And they are not FSOs. https://i.postimg.cc/wMT9Sz37/IMG-9754.jpg edit … UniVox HiFlier , Phase 2 , late 60’s , Epi V , I had no idea that they were not that common when I picked it up , Shinko Factory Dano Longhorn ( still has factory strings) (it thumps)

Well, thanks again for all the collective help /advice. I have a jazz trio on the go, currently using a mix of electric fretted / fretless. I've depped on a few gigs for a couple of rockabilly bands using a '76 Jazz whose DB players have damaged themselves (building site related injuries). The other band is a 6 piece function covers band which is irrelevant here. I do need a setup, strings and lessons but have sorted the correct height of the bass and stance sorted out for myself. All the best 👍

I asked this question aboutimy Tascam multitrack recorder. It's great but I can't always read the screen. I asked on the Tascam forum and oneimember said he solved the issue by putting an old tablet on a stand above his screen and using the camera app to see the pedal on a bigger screen. Worth a go!

You can get a reading from a multimeter between ring and sleeve which will be proportionate to the battery voltage but not equal to it. I replace batteries when they're somewhat under 9V, if I spot they're below 8V I'll replace them otherwise I'll replace them when they die. KMI Batt-O-Meter incoming, I'll report on it when it's here.

I have a Yamaha MOXF6 (actually, it's my bandmates on a sort of permanent loan). I can't believe how little money they go for now. Of course it depends what you want but it's such a versatile device.

I have two basses only. Neither is super valuable a vintage stingray clone a sire v7 5string that I got from that cheating rascal** @lee650 i take them out in turns just like my harem** of resting pornstars, actresses and showgirls ** dubious levels of truth here
