I also have these AKG 702 as I can't stand closed back headphones (giving me headaches because of the higher pressure in the internal ear) and the AKG 702 was a revelation I didn't suspect as they are really good for almost all purposes. I found them better than my old late 90's (dead now) Sennheiser HD600.

IBTL. Oops, already in. 😁

Indeed, you need a setup involving the nut height adjustment as it's the culprit in this case as without a capo the intonation is fine. Go see a true luthier.

Nice pisse of art. 🤢

This Shred is a joke in fact, the bass is right, "John Coltrane and Miles Davis" are completely out of the key. This is a re-recorded kind of tribute to these two giant players made by jazz students, trying to show how out these two could be able to play. It looks like the guys behind this tried to do a dual key Coltrane king of thing. So nothing wrong with the bass, here, which is always in the right harmony for So what? It's a 2010 re-recorded footage. 😉

Read this, lots of information in there : https://musicproductionnerds.com/closed-back-vs-open-back-headphones

There is a lot of possibilities depending on your price range and the type of headphones (closed, opened, semi-opened)...

Wonderfully superb extraordinary concept bass, Owen, until I saw the price. 😮 Now, I understand Ultravox title The man who dies every day. 🤣 For those with money to throw away : https://ish.guitars/collections/bass-1/products/ritter-princess-4-concept-bass-first-ever

Because it's like this on the picture they have. Seems like anyone all over the world doesn't know that counterfeiting (or copying for them as it's totally legal in China) is actually deeply anchored in Chinese society for centuries, in fact even millenia : it's simply in their culture and some are very good at it, others are just approximative. It only has too look like the original, the rest doesn't matter AT ALL...

I've been watching the 26 minutes introduction video. Top notch lesson with a cleverer approach than the usual way. And Mark J Smith is going straight to the point and not jumping around and talking nonsense for hours. Thanks for sharing this @lownote12 😊

Please don't forget that jazz music is before all street music with simple harmony. It's then have been appropriated by snob musicians turning it into an intellectual music with complex harmony. Choose your side. 😀

When asked, say you were playing in a modal way. This will end the conversation and you'll be considered a true genius. Almost nobody will ever try to argue as modal playing is a total mystery to most of the musicians. And if it doesn't seem to work, there still is the "you know free jazz is quite hard to explain" sentence. Or use the George Benson technique, repeat your mistakes as they will then become an integral part of the way the notes were chosen. Not a mistake anymore, but a very deeply thought approach. Isn't life beautiful ? 😁

Their last CD is glued in my car radio. 😉Excellent all through. And always simple and groovy bass lines.

It's becoming even weirder now, the amount of frets doesn't change their exact position, the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th being exactly at the same place on all 34 inches scales. But, maybe the overall shape of the bass is the real problem, because frets position is fixed even with fanned frets and strictly related to the scale length and this formula : scale divided by root twelfth of two equals first fret position. The first fret position then becomes the new scale for the second position, and so on. This is only valid for our tempered chromatic scale, of course. Another issue you might have is very badly set intonation, because you are talking of a semitone difference in the region of the 3rd to the 7th fret... Please give us some light as it's really strange.

I don't get it as all the basses you mention have a 34 inches scale, so exactly the same. You will have different shapes of necks, but not scales. Just to give you an idea of the difference at the first fret going from 34 inches scale to 35 inches or to 33 inches scale is less than 1,5 millimeter. To be very precise, here is the distance from the nut to the first fret from 32 to 36 inches scales. 32 : 4,5619 cm. 33 : 4,7045 cm. 34 : 4,8470 cm. 35 : 4,9896 cm. 36 : 5,1321 cm. And as I assume you're playing at fretted bass somewhere in the middle between the frets, it won't make any difference. Even if you play fretless, which I do, it won't make a big difference and will also help you to get a better pitched intonation.

Don't think he's aware of that. ^^^ 😉

Never let a Clash fan demo a fretless. 🤣 And the next suggestion, just after the horror show is this : Funny to have Abraham Laboriel just after. Makes me want to buy a Wyn and burn an Aria.

Interesting indeed. Insomnia is great. 👍

Why not playing sitting ? This is what I'm doing as I have a severe back injury (66% crippled because of this). Otherwise, you'll also need a very large decent strap or a duo strap (if you are not too tall or large). Check headless basses : they are often lighter and way more ergonomical.

This is a 1992 Yamaha TRB-6P, Russ, as it's more IN22064. Their pdf explaining the serialisation is not always accurate, especially for these old TRB's as they have sometimes hard to decipher serial numbers and strange ones too...

Terrific basses, these Yamaha TRB-6P first generation. I had a few, some were defretted, and as a fretless it's a killer bass. I do tend to prefer the 2 trussrods models, which are the rarest ones ... of course. Well done, Russ.

Is it nickel or stainless steel ? Does it hum ?
