Yeah -- refers to leaving the wah pedal active without sweeping it
-
Had to parse this a couple of times, thanks profanity filter!
-
Flub usually seems like a feature for most doom acts...
-
Superb playing @Steve Woodcock, very much enjoying this.
-
Not played the basses but my old teacher used to say his Blade was the best strat he'd ever played
-
This one on Reverb is the only Maverick bass I can recall ever seeing second hand 😕 https://reverb.com/uk/item/62653867-maverick-s5-2003-bass-guitar

Was this the kind of Jackson Kelly style one?
-
Brand new and unused. Was given this to go in an old machine, never got round to it now I don't have any PCI slots. Collect in Glasgow or £5 postage.

If it happens more playing fingerstyle I'd imagine you're pushing the strings down into the frets rather than parallel to them. Try adjusting the angle your fingers hit the string at and see if that helps?

I suspect this is just a peril of positioning yourself at the bottom of the market (which Zoom did for a long time) -- when I had a Zoom 506 many years ago they were quite obviously what you got when you couldn't afford one of the Boss units. A lot of people will still internalise that heirarchy regardless of current quality.

Weird leggy scrolling issue...

I think this has come up before: (why does my brain file stuff like that away but not e.g. what chores I need to do tonight???) -
On a real amp the effects loop will usually be after the preamp but before the power amp and cab. If your MFX doesn't go that granular, I'd guess after the amp block but before any cab sim would be technically the closest you can get, but it will depend on how much the power section is adding to the tone.

HZ/LZ makes me think Audere's High Z/Low Z maybe? This Pro Z config has volume/blend, 3 band EQ, two switches and an LED. edit: the bases of the switches and pots look physically very similar also

Anywhere else I can find MTD Kingstons?

There was a Super 5 on Gumtree near me recently, didn't last long but maybe worth checking. -
Are these still available? -
Yeah I use something similar (whatever the shop had in stock when I went in), I find it's better for my back position.
-
Does it make a noise if you tap on the pickup itself? If so it's microphonic and I've no idea what to do about that; if not, maybe try lowering the pickup a little, having the strings too close can cause strange ringing overtones (something about the magnetic fields interfering with each other, I think).

Ricky's Had His Head Chopped Off.. BOSH..!
velvetkevorkian replied to Waddo Soqable's topic in Build Diaries
Nice job! Reminds me oddly of a Kubicki now for some reason. -
NBD ish, started as a 4, now it’s a 5 !!! update.
velvetkevorkian replied to wrinkleygit's topic in Bass Guitars
Nice, how does the 4 string pickup work with 5? I had a bass with one of those Wilkinson kits, it's a pretty neat idea if you can manage the narrow spacing -
Someone else mentioned this in this thread

It's probably not what I'd aim for, but if it plays well is it a problem?
-
Yes! It's like they're almost but not quite perfectly symmetrical or something
-
IME, yes...

velvetkevorkian replied to Al Krow's topic in Effects
Yeah I quite like using the studio tube preamp and studio tube compressor models for a clean sound.
