You can use black currant and ginkgo biloba to really lower the tinnitus effect. Black currant is a natural antiinflammatory and ginkgo biloba is a natural blood fluidifiant, so both are excellent against tinnitus. Gemmo (bud) therapy is really effective and easy to use.

Is there a way to have a supporting membership with ads ? Just asking for the friend of @Stingray5...

Intermittent ringing is already tinnitus... As everyone said, you now need to protect carefully your hearing in all situations including your noisy work. Go to a specialist and get some professional earplugs made to measure : it's maybe expensive, but you can seriously slow down the tinnitus. Another thing you need to know is that tinnitus is also linked to cervical vertebrae crispation, so go to a qualified osteopath to release these tensions. It will help a lot, but you'll have to live with. And run away from sub basses heavy sounds.

Maybe worth giving a try to the Sandberg Super Light series at around 3 kilos for a 4 strings bass. Or if you like the shape, the BassLab basses are in the same weight bracket. The Ibanez AFR (Affirma) series (original and reissue) are also around 3 kilos. The Leduc U-Basse fully passive is even lower at less than 3 kilos.

Ammonia has the same aging effect on wood without using steel wool. 😉

Nice new toilet seat. 🤭 I'll get my coat.

A friend of mine had a glorious heavy ash period late 70's Fender Jazz Bass weighting 7.5 kilos (16.53 lbs). I weighted it, because I couldn't believe a four strings bass could be that heavy. Delirious. 🤦‍♂️

Better, one word : firewood.

Over 4 kilos for me is too much even sitting, if you speak modern language and measures, or 8.82 lbs in prehistorical money. 😎

Yes, the 2 band EQ is only active in, urm,urm, active mode. It's an overall output gain adjustor.

The stacked knob is a 2 band EQ with bass on the lower pot and treble on the upper one. There's also an internal gain trimmer pot that should be near the battery.

C*nts n' Noises strikes back. As useless as usual. They can name the forthcoming album : We can't compose songs. 🤑 🤑 🤑

And here you have the original user manual for that DB Bridge made by Steinberger : https://web.archive.org/web/20080612161744/http://www.musicyo.com/planet/db.asp

So Tony, you made it. Great ! Congratulations !

As a mod I would ban everyone including me as I don't want to belong to any forum that would have me as a member. 😁

Yek, yek, I'm in Belgium... No import taxes. 🙃

The 26.5 inches scale is really attracting too. There's a guy in Germany selling a pair (fretted and fretless) for peanuts and I can't stop looking at the ad : https://www.bassic.de/kleinanzeigen/bargain-week-2mal-acg-micro-krell-fuer-2020-fr-fl.20733/

Very very nice and, as always, with Alan superb woods too. This is another beautiful headless bass. Congratulations !

Don't forget the Sire Marcus Miller series : terrific basses for the money, even the new P10 or V10 that are more expensive.

It's the Bunny Brunel filiation. 😉
