Half the weight of an svt at double the sound quality. Worth it.

DR strings like the low riders are a bit stoffer. Gauge has very little to do with it, the shape of the core of the string however is relevant. A hex core string feels different than a round core even though they are identical on the outside. Any strings that have something like "higher stiffness" in the description will work nicely.

Hughes and Kettner bassbase?

Darkglass does a light 410 nowadays.

Roll off the highs, not too much low bass, a little extra low-mid 200-800Hz honk. Good times.

Unrealistic heavy ageing - did not expect this from Nash

Looks as valid as all the other wear and tear forgery jobs, but a little more creative. "Relic" is the same as in Californication where Duchovny smashes the headlight of his Porsche. Fake sentiment. But what I think is rubbish others will like, so there's that. -
Just run the audio source into the audio interface. I'm not sure what the problem is?

I'm using the ISP Decimator II. One knob, set at 1 o'clock, start of the chain. Bliss.

And then there's the hours of learning how to operate all of that.

I have a Harley Benton Block 800b as a backup amp. Surprisingly capable and very reliable, for not that much money. Most "800w" amps will have the same ICE class D poweramp and even audiophile amplifiers use them (often a lower wattage). The character is made in the preamps.

The Dutch shop might have been https://www.tfoa.eu/en the Fellowship of Acoustics. Bass specific would be https://www.bassmatters.nl/nl/home Paul's bass matters. And https://www.connectionbult.com/wp/ Edwin van Huik's bass connection. Bax shop is Thomann competition: https://www.bax-shop.nl/

Pop Goes The Weasel on repeat and watch the congregation shift with unease more with each rendition. -
Tom Morelo of RATM fame has a bachelor's degree. My two guitarist both have PhDs, lead guitar has several, the rest of the band are accomplished tradesmen. My friend who fronts a local indierock band is a Professor in Physics at the local university (ranked 66th Times World University in 2023).

You people not posting names can go suck toe. Your reference is meaningless if we don't know who you're talking about. Les Claypool: Jo Bench: -
Any reason why you're not putting the string end inside the tuner? https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxrhCj3H4bf1hnNJYpdLnBf_Ghw1lqsis1?si=31TAKsZF59eKL66d No sharp ends, no slipping, better tuning stability.. I'm curious why someone wouldn't do it correctly.

iirc the EQ does a lot of gain, turning up bass/mid/treble could overdrive it a bit more. Turning them down and the volume up should get a cleaner signal still.
-
Try a different outlet? Same speaker with a different amp? Are the impedances matched for amp and speaker?
-
Rubbish. had it been sung properly and had a choreografy with less of a 'killroom' vibe, it could have done well enough. The jingoism really is a bit of a turn off.

Not within the EU both ways. That said, I once flew Amsterdam -London and back for a closed-wallet swap of basses. Wasn't much more costly than shipping both ways and much more secure.
