Because they're having to compensate for not being bassists.

 

I think cases are like car modifications.

I think it's important to understand if there is a loss of hearing and/or loss of certain frequencies the final mix won't be perfect. I don't think I am ever happy with my mixes as I know what sounds almost good to me in reality may be a muddy mix. I've recently watched an engineer on you tube explaining a subwoofer. When you hear the bass coming out from the subwoofer, you turn the bass frequency down until you can barely hear it from the subwoofer. My music room is narrower than longer. I made corner bass traps in a shape of a toblerone from rockwool and bass trap panels for front and back wall, and side walls. There is a thread about it in BC. I don't think there is a correct answer as everyone hears differently, I often use a reference song which seems to help a lot.

The answer is : wait.....wait....

Step drill bit... sorted 

Old thread but never ending hunt for that Steve Harris sound. Steve has used different rigs over the years, you can tell that each album has slightly different frequency range. Piece of mind is particularly nasally sounding, whilst SIT and SSOASS has contour and bright. I recently added vintage setting on my bass combo for TNOTB sound. 

I played quite a few amateur gigs as a teenager in a metal scene in 80's and 89's. Maybe in 80' and 90's, but now, no thanks. As mentioned above being a full time Vs famous? I would opt for the latter. Unfortunately, thanks to AI , I'd say good luck to everyone. It won't be long before you have a hologram band playing in pubs.  I can't wait to see one playing locally tbh. Can you imagine a drunk punter interacting with a hologram?

Given you don't break it and keep the box intact Thomann will let you try it out for 30 days (and the 30 days actually counts all the way up till the day you post it), and they'll pay for the shipping back.

 

Full refund of the cost of the pedal, and no questions asked.

 

It would cost you the initial shipping Thomann charges to have it send to you though (or actually I think that pedal costs beyond the minimum amount that gives you free shipping), and you would have the inconvenience of having to pack and post it back.

Any on-line shop will do the same, not just Thomann; it's part of the distance-selling regulations in the UK. Returns are sometimes at the charge of the Buyer, though, if the unit is not faulty. 

My only concern is, what do they do with the returned products, resale? I know Amazon tends to bin some perfectly new returned item.

I'd get Tech21 Steve Harris Sig to see if it's as good as the reviews say. Wish shops let you take one home for a week and try?

I have and I didn’t like them at all 

 

I need the zing from RW 

I bought fender flats and they had zing. They don't last as long as rounds tbh, but I play finger style and with correct amp settings I get the tone I need. I recently boiled my flats and they regained the zinginess. Horses for courses.

Starting to find a solution, plucking style, lower action and incoming a Darkglass AO pedal to add a bit of bite and growl !! 
 

 

Have you tried flat strings?

Get a drum machine, problem solved

They are a few venues in my area who have started putting on gigs on Sunday afternoons, say 4pm

to around 7 or 8pm. I’ve done a few and it seems to work well, often in pubs where they serve Sunday

lunch and then put music on to keep people in afterwards. Home by 9pm does make a change! 

Not sure people going Sunday lunch would like listening to Metal

I've been sober for decades. Depending on the venues available in your area you don't have to play late night gigs to drunk punters. Upscale Winery's,  Brewerys and Farmers Market gigs can be really nice. Well behaved crowds and your home before 7:00.

The type of music I like mate, and the time they start is mostly at 9pm. There are occasions bands play afternoon gigs at festivals etc and being home at 7pm would be ideal. Probably more opportunities over the pond.

Me too! Any idea what they do?

Who, the grumpy gits?

Apart from a fe grumpy gits 😁...only kidding.... fantastic forum, I found out that a bass actually has tuners not just string...

I recently removed all the strings, boiled them for 10 minutes, cleaned the fretboard with lemon oil then restrung. Bass had no tension on neck overnight, did I worry? Nope. Works fine .

Anthrax and Kreator 

I haven't gigged since about 1992, I got back to bass playing in 2010 and thanks to BC I've learnt how to produce music etc. I am reluctant to get gigging for two reasons. Too many day dreamers on Join my band and other sites. Two, I can't think of anything worse than being sober and playing to drunk punters late night. But , if circumstances change, I may be easily persuaded. 

The hiss of opening a can of Draught Stout by Guinness

What a shame , a brilliant picture, but will have to leave this one out, not enough time in a day. Unless a 30 seconds intro I started would suffice. Rather than watching rubbish on telly or having an early night, here we go.

Song called Baby Boom. EZ drums, various VST`s and heavily processed robotic singing. The song is about a family swapping a country side life for a rat race concrete build city.

Lyrics:

I was born through baby boom

My life’s been like a hot air balloon

My folks swapped our  farm for a city

Reflecting  upon with a pity

We swapped our land for a concrete field

The rat race life's like a time machine

I asked my mother why did we this

She said my son, Ich liebe dich

Rusted minds have frozen thoughts

Our lives became a big fat nought

You've dragged me to this so-called Wonderland

I can't escape to motherland

Baby boom

You're living as a 

Baby boom

Baby boom

You're struggling as a

Baby boom

Baby boom

You'll soon die as a

Baby boom

Baby boom

Baby boom

@linear resolved the audio issue. Both a small Xenyx 8 channel mixer, then in OBS clicked the audio source as mono, tested today and works fine. Now I've been having issues with green screen/.chroma key set up 😁 works but looks like more than watermark effect. Thanks for your help in above posts

My tracking was showing regressing not progressing

 One day meant to be delivered today then it changed to Thursday. Despite incorrect delivery tracking it was delivered today 

Not so much unable to access. The driver for our area is brilliant and very helpful, he does make sure the parcel is delivered.

What I dint get is the changes of the updates on tracking. In the morning it says " in the transit, in the local depot" in the afternoon it changes to dispatched. So they work back. I previously have been advised that there were delays due to adverse weather. I managed to call them, so I advised them about the weather forecast in my area and weather forecast where the depot was. It was a sunny day with plus  10 degrees Celsius. I quoted what the weather forecast says, what there tracking claimed and what the actual weather was, a nice sunny day. Shocking company, had many parcels sent back to senders through their fault.

I would not dream of criticising, actually, and I agree with you about “there”, “their” etc @SH73

 

I cite this as evidence https://mangolanguages.com/resources-articles/9-reasons-why-english-is-a-difficult-language-to-learn/#:~:text=Most English language learners will,require a lot of memorization.     Amongst a million other results 

 

however I think the only reason that people think English is easy is because seemingly everyone on the globe is exposed to it from infancy and it’s everywhere. Immersion is powerful. 

I didn't think you meant to criticise anyone I just disagreed that English is difficult and I still disagree no matter what the article says. In fact, I have learnt Spanish during a business course many years ago. All English natives struggled with the pronunciation and learning the lingo. My theory is that if you grow up as bilingual, then other languages come as second nature.

Now, if the OP likes the feel of the base, he should of not need to worry about it's weigh.

Piece!
