    I use Firefox on an iphone 15, don't have that issue any of the time. Give it a shot.

    C is just fine, but I'd be looking to use a set of 11s or 12s. My last gig was on guitar in a band who tuned down to A, sometimes dropped G. I used a home-assembled 25.5" scale strat using D'Addario 68-14 strings. While we usually did the heavy stuff, it sounded very nice clean. I used the same setup to record this a few years later, with some clean in there, tuned to A.

    Pick up a cheaper Warmoth neck here, ones that are already built. You get to choose fret size, too, among other options. US$210 plus about $100 shipping plus 25% import duty and VAT won't overly violate your budget. https://warmoth.com/bass-necks/j-bass#instock

    Warmoth, in my experience, make better necks than Fender USA, never mind Mexico. They're expensive but for very good reason.

    A bit of Cry of Love in the video too, very tasteful 😉

    Love your work, fella, always fascinating to see you put this stuff together.

    A regular J cover pair should fit them, no?

    He gives the people what they want. There is nothing to stop Joe Public from buying physical media or bandcamp downloads should they want to better support artists. They appear to prefer Ek's model. An interesting question would be how many musicians here subscribe to a streaming service.

    Thankfully there are a lot of hairs to split on this crucial topic. Rick should get a solid 30 minutes out of it.

    Bruh, there are multiple alnico varieties. I have a strat with alnico 3 magnets on the bass side and alnico 4 magnets on the treble side. It's... like... how can we apply a judicious tonal examinanationationing without knowing which alnico we're talking about? These things are serious business. Alternatively, from the Yamaha BB2024 blurb... "the neck pickup uses an Alnico V magnet for warm, rich sounds while the bridge pickup features a ceramic magnet for clarity and definition." EMG tend to use ceramic magnets, old humbuckers and strats tend to use anico 5, it's all good.

    Really? It was all hard rock/glam rock until the 2000's 'round our way. I honestly never heard that term until the scene had passed into the warm bosom of nostalgia. The 'hair' bit only came in once most people didn't have any anymore.

    I can't wait until we get to "Hair Metal", a massively stupid term which also didn't exist until long after the scene died on its arse.

    Find a new tech. If the guy can't figure out something as basic as this after needlessly replacing parts a number of times, you should bring it to someone who knows what they're doing instead.

    Yes, capitalising one word from the title seems to be compulsory now.

    Clicked and shared. That's some high-quality clickbaitin', yes ma'am.

    I think I'd find it difficult. I mean, I write all the music, play it, sing it, record it and mix it. I'd have a hard time finding someone to do all that for myself but, hey, if I want myself out of my band, that's the way it goes, I suppose, and I'd just have to move on and find something else. Granted, I'm not into doing the social media stuff but I was clear to myself it wasn't something I was going to do right from the start. Even so, I'd be really peeessed off, though 🤔

    Heavy gigging bands getting paid for playing original music are not exactly plentiful.
  20. Doctor J
    Unless you think you have the ideas and the drive to make a silk purse out of it, walk away. Never compromise on the standard of music, you'll just be unhappy and leave, sooner or later.

    Why would you not at least try the new one if the old one was not good? You'll know the answer by the end of the night.

    Despite being a fan of active setups, generally, I almost always play my L2K passive. Active mode is ridiculoulsy hot. It is many things, but weak in passive mode is not one of them.
