rainbowreality started following EHX V256 Vocoder £125 inc postage *Price Drop £115* Now £105 for quick sale! - *SOLD* , New nut? , Gotoh Tuning peg screw .. and 6 others

You could file down the nut top so about a third of the diameter of the A, D and G string is showing above each slot. Also press down each string between the 2nd and 3rd fret and then tap the string directly over the 1st fret. If you don't get a dinking sound the nut string slot has been cut too low

Where can I get some decent bass sized straight edges?
rainbowreality replied to Marc S's topic in Repairs and Technical
I have the crowning thingymejig and the fret end bevel tool. I was initially a bit sceptical of the crowning tool but can confirm it does a grand job as does the bevel tool. You'd still need a file to initially file down the high spot though- 18 replies

Gotoh Tuning peg screw ..
rainbowreality replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Repairs and Technical
I can vouch for Glued to Music, I've used them a few times. Very fast delivery and never any problems. They're also on eBay but tend to be more expensive there Not sure if I can vouch for Google though, use DuckDuckGo instead! Oh, and PayPal used to be owned by Peter Thiel, absolutely awful right wing libertarian geezer -

GMC are a small UK luthier supplier (one man show I believe) that makes everything in-house and they sell a very decent bass notched/straight edge combo for just under £40. https://www.guitarbuilding.solutions- 18 replies

Okay, after doing a bit of reading I'm getting a bit confused as to best practice to find high spots. Should I br following the string angle on the neck or be parallel with the centre line with my rocker? As I understand it, if I follow the string travel I'll be measuring for a cone rather than a cylinder and it's going to give a false measurement. Am I right in this assertion? Any advice appreciated!

Late to the party but what do people think of this? -
Mike bought my Waldorf Streichfett, great guy to deal with and extremely prompt payment and comms. A great Basschatter

Beat composer and performance tool, bought on a whim, tested it and went back in it's box so as new. They renamed this Aruba shortly after but it's identical. Built like a tank but I'm not really a finger drummer and I need the space so pricing it low to go - cheapest is £259 online so this is a bit of a bargain. This does pretty much anything you can think of beat composing wise - More info - https://nektartech.com/products/aruba-beat-composer/ https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/nektar-aruba-review Pics to follow

Very good condition. Downsizing my studio setup to bare minimum. Although you can do this kind of thing with VST's it is so satisfyingly easy and quick to dial in some really nice strings with this module. Can't find the original box but it will be securely packaged with psu. Waldorf spiel - Streichfett combines the best of the previously extinct species of String Synthesizers of the 70s and early 80s. Its dual sound engine features a fully polyphonic strings section and an eight voice solo section, which is essential for recreating classic movie sounds from the 70s and 80s. The Ensemble Effect provides depth and movement to the String Section, while the Effects section adds adjustable Phaser and Reverb. Additionally, the Animate Effect can be used to modulate the strings registration, allowing spectacular sound morphs. The Solo Section offset presets named Bass, E-Piano or Clavi, and just like in your typical string machine, the sound has little to do with that name. Instead, these are shimmering and slightly percussive sounds that blend well with the string section. Although the User Interface is simple and easy to comprehend, it controls a rather complex sound engine which is capable to deliver rich and creamy pads unlike any other instrument. Twelve patches can be stored and selected in the Memory section, USB and MIDI are of course on board.

Ear Protection - What's really decent & off the shelf?
rainbowreality replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
Another vote for the Alpine earplugs. They work great with three different blocking ratios to choose from
