Phil Starr started following Car/SUV for 18" Subs?
-
I don't know why you would use 15" tops with 18" subs really if you are buying these new. You'll be crossing over well above the frequency where 15s give any potential advantage over 12's. I have a Passat estate I can take 15" tops plus two 15" subs, 10" monitors, my bass gear with leads, stands and several lights with careful packing but it is tight and it would be far quicker to pack into something a bit bigger. You can't see out of the back either. I rarely use the subs as there is not much the 15's can't do on their own but starting again with 12's might be better.

Oh yes, download some scanning SW (app) to scan notes from books. A very useful extra. -

I use Forescore (ipad) and a cheap Donner bluetooth footswitch page turner. I'm assuming Forescore has versions for non Apple kit. It takes pdf and other formats. It's very clever in that with a foot press it will turn pages, but if the tablet is in landscape for a bigger image it will will first move to the bottom of the page and then flip the page. Very pleased with it. -

If you want a very good SW to read music from different formats, I suggest you to buy the Mobile Sheets Pro. There's no monthly fee, just pay once. Very functional. If you need (I do) a page turner, check Pageflip Dragonfly. It is small, very quiet (studio use), simple to use, and batteries last really long time. There's a 4 button version available, too, but I found no use to those two extra buttons. I use these with my Android tablet. I have +3000 scores there. Setlists are easy to do, and you can import a few formats to the SW. If you have books in PDF format, you can make sidecars to index big books to individual notes. No more papers! -
BlueMoon started following Buying and Importing from Japan
-
Yes, I’ve personally imported many instruments (> 20 basses) over the years. My dealings with the Japanese, either via a large corporate entities ((like Ishibashi, Ikebbe, Shimamura), bass specialists (Geek-in-box, BassDirect Japan) and individual sales on Digimart have been generally hassle-free. Certainly, the Japanese end of the transactions have been smooth. Sadly, not the case with couriers or Customs at this end though. This is a tale of delays and expense that needs to be factored in if you decide to purchase. These concerns are not unique to purchases form Japan, however. I would recommend, as a first trial, to engage with Ishibashi via their English-language site. Ask questions about an instrument you are interested in and gauge their level of responsiveness, speed of reply, and overall level of customer service. Compare with your average Joe in Europe. You might be surprised. Good luck!………but it comes with a wallet warning about how easy it might become.

Here's a couple more photos. The inlay is based on a tattoo I have (maybe cheesy, but I think it came out very well) of the crow, (hometown symbol) with the GD bolt. Definitely inspired by that look, as well as the cocobolo Alembic stuff. I love the neck-through aesthetic, so I wanted to sort of emulate that with the sapwood(?) of the cocobolo.

Just found a deadspot on my Dingwall. I am annoyed.
kwmlondon replied to kwmlondon's topic in Bass Guitars
I had a USA Jazz Pro that was just gorgous - FMT and it had the most gorgous tone, looked amazing, felt great but... it had the deadest of dead spots on the C 3rd fret 3rd string. It was unavoidable and it broke my heart. It's just an issue with that shape of headstock, but this Dingwall seems to be a lot easier to work around. -

Honestly I don't know. But I just had a look a page turner pedal on Amazon and the the description says that 'swipe' is one of the functions, so it looks promising. Perhaps someone who owns one could confirm? -

Interesting too that (assuming the info there is accurate) this one has a 41.3mm nut width, so maybe a neck profile more like a full size Stingray (which would be cool). Not crazy about that finish though… -
johnbiffa started following PINSTRIPE DISO+ Line Isolator
-
When in stock in UK these are £279, so a huge saving and no waiting !!!! Been using this for 12 months and every sound engineer comments on how good my sound/tone is so "What does it do?" Converts 1/4 inch (balanced or unbalanced) to XLR balanced output. Protects from accidental phantom power damage. Transformer isolation allows for ground lifting to kill hum. 1/4 inch outputs allow connection to powered monitor(s). Passive Summing network for 1/4 inch outs for Amp or FRFR XLR Summing mod available (See other listing!) Acts as a patchbay eliminating the need to repatch the board between rehearsal and stage. Keeps signal level high and tone intact. For DSP Guitar Rigs… If you are using FX DSP simulation/load boxes such as the iK Tonex, Kemper Profiler Player, Line 6 HX Stomp, Walrus ACS1, Line 6 HX Effects and are interfacing them in a live situation, you shouldn’t be using a direct box (for impedance matching) but should be using a “line isolator”. These simulators have outputs on ¼ inch connectors but no way to ground lift in the event of ground loop noise. A line isolator won’t drop your signal level like a direct box will, but will maintain the line level while giving the ability to ground lift and eliminate noise when running your guitar signal to the main PA. In addition, transformer isolation insures that Phantom Power from the console never touches the outputs of your FX pedal. Engineered for Pedalboards The DISO-Plus is a 2-channel line isolator box made to integrate with other guitar pedals. It can deliver pure, clean sounds in the studio and it has also passed the toughest test of touring life as well. The two ¼ inch input, two ¼ inch output and two XLR output jacks are mounted on a powder coated, cast aluminum enclosure. A ground lift switch is mounted between the XLR connectors so that it is out of the way and won’t get bumped accidentally. A stereo/mono switch is located near the ¼ inch outputs and actuates a summing network to allow both 1/4 inch L and R signals to be summed to an amp or full range speaker while keeping the XLR outputs in stereo. This allows you to quickly connect a regular guitar amp or powered speaker for monitoring on stage or checking patches before a gig without disconnecting or re-patching anything from your board. Hand-Built with Top Quality Parts The DISO-Plus is all about giving you a clean, clear signal all of the time. We build them one-at-a-time by hand using genuine Jensen Transformers line transformers, high reliability all-metal connectors from Switchcraft and Neutrik and top-shelf sealed switches from Grayhill. It is backed up with a full 3-year warranty. Will include postage to UK or can be collected near York.

The simplest way would probably be to take pics of the notes with the tablet. They should automatically be put into the tablet's gallery, where you can just swipe through them. If you wanted to store other pics on the tablet you could move the music notes into their own album. -

As long as your note are legible, you can use your tablet to extract the text and create notes. Simple enough. -

You can view PDF files on your tablet, just get Adobe Acrobat reader. I used PDF files on my tablet for similar purposes. I transfer them using Dropbox - I'm too cheap to pay for Dropbox so I have to access it via a browser on the tablet, but I just create them in Dropbox on my PC or laptop and then download them onto the tablet so I don't have to rely on an internet connection to see them. Another reason for using PDF files is so I can use a page turner - more for songs where I'm singing so I've got the lyrics too and it goes past a page. I use a Lekato page turner (can't remember whether I set it to portrait or landscape) and set the PDF viewer to single page mode rather than continuous. -
