I'd have prefered a 3+2 layout.

[quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1504392050' post='3364633'] I'm afraid I'm filing this in the Yet Another Pointless List section. I think I'd be more interested if Scott came up with a list of 100 Songs To Play Before You Die. [/quote] Nah, 20 would be different versions of MustHangSally, 10 Moondance etc.

[quote name='Dan Dare' timestamp='1504300588' post='3364056'] Agree with Dood re DT770s. I'm a user/fan, too. A decent set of closed back cans is the only economical way to get accurate, extended bass reproduction from the average home hi-fi system. Not annoying the neighbours - low frequencies travel through building structures a treat - is an added bonus. [/quote] Compare them back to back with Sennheiser's HD25-1, I didn't get on with the DT770. Best thing you can do is visit several(!) audio shops, your macbook in hand for a listen. Check different types of configuration, active studio monitors (are for close range listening) vs bookshelf speakers (on good stands) vs pillar-like floorstanders. Keep a log of what's what and your likes and dislikes and evaluate after properly exploring your option. The quest is half the fun Subs are for feeling air move, not for hearing. Fun when watching action flicks but otherwise not much use for music. Good luck and have fun!

[quote name='ivansc' timestamp='1503566693' post='3359166'] Oops I should have said wrong way ROUND. Probably astill not obvious to spot any discrepancies I suppose. [/quote] Depends on the direction of the wind I would think. Or am I reading this wrong?

"North and South" featuring Patrick Swayze, "Roots", everyone in "Dukes of Hazard" is white, even Star Trek did episodes on it, Django by Tarantino. All examples where you might have picked up a certain negative vibe. The confederate battle flag is a symbol for 'rebels' to rally to like the swastika for nazis, the Daesh flags for Isis, etc.

Sacred Reich - War Pigs Only cover I know that beats the original.

MXR bass comp on always, set to little compression and medium limiting, miss it when it's off. Placed it after envelope filter and before preamp to catch spikes and broad sweeps.

[quote name='Bass_Guardian' timestamp='1502718667' post='3353061'] Why are stingrays so expensive I've got major GAS for a Classic 5 in Natural (Black PG) and maple FB [/quote] Try a Sterling By Musicman ray34 or 35. Absolutely the next best thing, fabricated in Indonesia but finished and set up in the MM factory in San Luis Obispo like the regular MMs.

Gibson is all over the country, and the western scene, apparantly.

That's why you moved to france then? No need to understand anyone anyway? Rocking circumaural acoustic enhancement devices?

[quote name='PaulWarning' timestamp='1502436930' post='3351359'] 30 to 40 what a load of bollocks I know I'm deaf this is a far better test, mimics what audiologist use https://hearingtest.online/ [/quote] Far, far better DIY test! Well done for posting that Paul.

I was listening to it on my phone, it can't even produce half those frequencies! Without calibration the test is worthless. Gave me 20-30 btw, I'm 41 with healthy tinnitus. My hearing is more like a 55 year old would typically have, I know this because I test patient's hearing for the ENT and Audiologist in hospital.

[quote name='TrevorR' timestamp='1501541480' post='3345458'] So I think we can conclude that the best bass is whatever you like (probably avoid BC Rich and Dean though!). [/quote] And nowt wrong wirh a B.C. Rich mockingbird, bich or eagle either. Dean does some great affordable basses for all styles too

Always good fun though, Yngwie.

Double humbucker, maybe a spector legend?

The cheapest one you can afford.

Meh, I'm good.

[quote name='MoJo' timestamp='1499948182' post='3334729'] You must have fingers of iron, my friend [/quote] I love how tonaly coherent the strings sound, and they don't flubber about.

55, 75, 95, 115, 135 G, D, A, E, A

FastFret. Wipe on, wipe off, win karate match.

Thunderbird surprised me most of all in a positive way, even though the headstock is mounted the wrong way round! Woulld love to hear a Spector and Ibanez soundgear added to this line-up.

Ashdown's bassometer is bright as a thousand suns AND features a VU. I took it off my board to save space and I never do daylight gigs.

[quote name='radiophonic' timestamp='1499338603' post='3330809'] it's not like I'm playing Death Metal. [/quote] Well there's yer problem!

Nothing is sacred.
