Longer screws?

If you can find some frequency graphs for those specific phones you might be able to add an eq curve to flatten them out. If  they're a popular brand they should be out there somewhere. 

I use a plugin called Hornet VHS that has a large library of headphones' response curves. What is the make and model? I'll see if they're listed.

I was about to suggest the VHS plugin, but I’m late to the party again. It’s really useful on your master bus and will even give you emulations to f common studio speakers if that’s what you’re used to.

The Begringer ADI21 is a Paradriver clone

And very good it is too - the fizz that the blend control isn’t really to my liking but the sweepable mods more than make up for it.

I removed the two red clipping LEDs from that part of the circuit and it was much more useable!

Good luck Andy. I was once told that you should never go into a meeting without knowing exactly what you want out of it, so take the time between now and then to seriously consider what that is; know what you’re prepared to compromise on, and by how much, and perhaps more importantly know where your line in the sand is and stick to it.

This ^ pickup being too close to the string is the most likely culprit.

Has anyone ever played a Hohner fretless Jazz ? I had one years ago and sold but I kind of miss it; it sounded amazing but was as heavy as a boat anchor!

I swapped a Warwick fretless for a double bass many moons ago , still don’t play it really , but it’s a lovely piece of furniture 

I thought about getting a double bass, but what with the price of Mr Sheen / Pledge these days I’m not sure I can afford the upkeep. ☹️

Just a thought, should we not have a category for ‘Heft’?

I mark out a template on graph paper, then tape it to the enclosure. Next I centre punch where the holes should be and then pilot drill with a small (like, 1.5 to 2mm) drill. Finally I'll go in with the stepper bit to get the holes to size.

Year started playing 1994.

Number of basses: 3

Music theory: 9 (ABRSM grade VII)

Technique :7

Groove :8

The vast majority of my playing is done on my fretless, but when needs must I’ve got a couple of others with those speed bumps on.

Soz for the typo! 🫣

Shows they're only interested in getting money out of their fans - c.f Black Sabbath gig where proceeds went to charity!

Never liked the arrogant and whiny Beatles impersonators...

Thing is, Ozzy doesn’t have to find £200M for a divorce settlement, the same cannot be said for Noel…

One of my son’s friends lives closer to the stage than about half of the folks who have shelled out for tickets. 😄

Great IEM setup - I use exactly the same kit myself 

City of tiny lights - Zappa

Vicar in a tutu - die Schmitts

20 minutes for Tool!?! I wonder which song they'll do.

I'd reflow all of that soldering, it looks a bit.... iffy at best.

The passive tone stack on fender style basses isn't in series with the signal, so if the tone control is faulty then it won't alter the output.

Could I also add that I’d like the vinyl pressing of ‘Californication’ to be remastered so that it’s a bit quieter - I have to add an extra half gram to my stylus whenever I listen to it to stop it jumping!

I remeber being hugely underwhelmed by Led Zeppelin Remasters back in the 90s, especially after all the hype tjere was at the time

 

To be fair I was a poor student at the time and didn't have a high end hi fi system, but to me there was little difference between Remasters and the Led Zep albums I already had on cd, meaning I'd essentially bought a superfluous compilation album of stuff I already owned.

 

I've been skeptical of remastered rereleases ever since.

 

 

The latest remasters of the ZEP back catalogue is well worth buying the albums again - they sound amazing(er)!
