Is it a drop-in replacement? I opportunistically upgraded my ME with the higher end Sadowsky pickups and found that the differences were very small.
-
Yeah, although it still requires routing the top so probably not one for your Sunday best Fodera.

https://www.evertune.com/news/2023/06/EverTune_Bass_Bridge_QandA.php Sounds like multiscale and adjustable (or at least configurable) string spacing is on the cards.

I missed a gig because I was so excited to see double bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer that I forgot we were meant to be playing the same night. Also had a near miss when the dodgy van the keys player's dad was driving us in got a flat somewhere between Glasgow and Perth... fortunately he had a tin of sealant and we made it in the end.

Very nice, much more balanced body shape than most Foderas imho.

You can check whether your email has been leaked in a previous breach on https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Spoiler: it probably has.

Nope, treat them like cattle not pets.

Help please with Dorian confusion!
velvetkevorkian replied to Amazoman's topic in Theory and Technique
B dorian might have the same notes as A major but it's not harmonically the same -- e.g. a B dorian line will probably be trying to resolve to the B tonic, which can create a tension (playing "outside", in jazz terms), although not as much as playing a line with notes from outside the scale. The exact point at which it switches from "playing a line in A major" to "playing a line in B dorian" is fuzzy, there's hundreds of years of theoretical analysis dedicated to unpicking that sort of thing. -
This is why I have a small tin of lighter fluid in the cupboard. Been a while since I've had to deal with any real filth though, fortunately.

These look very cool but trying to read that website makes me feel like I'm having a stroke

Do a Metro Express m5-24 you cowards

My old version of EZDrummer includes notes for left and right for kick and snare in its MIDI mapping, although I'm not convinced they actually trigger anything differently.
-
I'd guess the switches are on/off per pickup, and a coil split on the push pull? Never seen a superstrat without a 3/5 way pickup selector before.

White works better here imo, the red tort gets a bit lost.

This'll cheer you up... It's World Goth Day!
velvetkevorkian replied to Cat Burrito's topic in General Discussion
Ha, there was a related billboard ad from around the same time with the strapline "cheer up goth, have an Irn Bru" which is a favourite of mine 😅 -
Spare hole on my bass… what to do?!?!

A volume knob for the guitar player -
What don't you like about the current setup? There are lots of options with varying degrees of cost/complexity, but if the current setup works I'd try living with it for a while.
-
I'd take a 5 string over another Fender copy, I'm not much of a retro guy but that looks quite smart. They're obviously not in the vintage replica business and more power to them.

I had this for a while, not sure how it happened but I was able to switch it back using the buttons under the "Start new topic" button -

Smells like a typo from whoever entered the details at Thomann to me. -
I'd be looking in the classifieds for one that suits your budget and form factor -- I like my HX stomp which come up fairly frequently at ~£350 and should hold that for a while yet. Rackmount multi effects puts you straight into the top end these days, unfortunately -- I can't think of any guitar/bass oriented units without getting into Axe-FX/Helix Rack territory. I can't imagine a cheaper unit (e.g. Behringer FX2000) will be a worthwhile improvement over your G-Major.

You have £300 and you HAVE to buy a new bass today…..
velvetkevorkian replied to Rayman's topic in General Discussion
Was about to post this but it's £159 from GuitarGuitar so you can get an extra round in edit: oh the GG one isn't the Plus version -
