[quote name='WinterMute' timestamp='1506545001' post='3379509'] That's why you bass trap the back wall and the corners. Evened it out a bit with the traps, still too bassy on the back wall, but you don't listen critically in that position and the response only needs to be even at the listening position for such a small room. [/quote] I was thinking exactly that when I was in the room the other day, it only really matters how it sounds where I sit. I'm on the "long" wall but still close to the wall behind me, the room's only 2 x 2.5m anyway so it's hard to get away from it. We're looking to move next year, so this might be something to look at after that

My laptop has Thunderbolt 3, so I run it through a Startech Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter, as recommended by Presonus. It's a minor annoyance having the extra bit hanging off the laptop, but I'll dig out some sticky back velcro to keep things tidy. I've got a little bit sidetracked redecorating the home studio room ready but everything will be going back in soon and then I'll be able to have a better play with it.

NOW SOLD This is probably a bit of a "no introduction needed" bass, famous as the poor man's Stringray because of the big bridge pickup. I bought this one on BC to learn slap bass and it was great for that, as well as giving good picked / rock tone. It's currently got Elixir stainless strings on it. This is the original ATK, with the 3 coil/blade pickup with the selector switch, you might think that can't make much difference, but it actually does give you a nice set of (slightly) different tones. I'm only selling it because I've bought a Maruszczyk with a bridge humbucker - so it's being bumped by a bass about 4x the RRP and 8x what this is on for, and I'm still a bit sad - I'm a big fan of Ibanez, I'll still have 2 x SRC6, an RGIB6 and a BTB456. It's not light at 4.9kg. There are a few small marks on it and a few marks on the lower frets, I'd hesitate to say it's fret wear as it still plays perfectly, but in any case I'd really prefer someone to try it out before buying. Currently has Marvel strap lock buttons, I can swap those for the normal strap buttons or leave them on and provide the rest of the strap locks to go with them. There's a nice strap that I'd part with as well for an extra tenner. There is a Stagg hard case I could ship it in, but shipping's not included in the price as is and collection is much better, so you can see what you're getting. It's in BD20 (Silsden, West Yorks) but I'm pretty flexible about travelling a bit if someone is serious and wants to try it. £220 collected. Feedback thread link is below NOW SOLD

Thinking about FuzzMeasrure (which is mac only, so no good for me) I have a vague memory of seeing a video someone "shooting a room" using a mic, and I guess it must have been a frequency graph? So you play stuff, poke your mic into different bits of the room and see if the frequencies coming back are the same as in the original. Does that sound sensible? It would work for bass traps maybe.

So, I have been struggling a bit with my old Presonus Firewire interfaces and Windows 10 on my new laptop, I'm pretty sure it's related to the driver somehow but there's not much you can do to fix that. It all works fine on my old Win 7 PC so I'll probably just keep that as a spare rig. I always planned to go for a Thunderbolt interface at some point, and I want to get the latency low enough for live guitar, bass or keyboards so that all my amps, effects and key-based stuff can go 100% virtual. The new Presonus Quantum coming out just in time for my old one packing up seemed too good to be true, but I bought one anyway. First impressions: It's the answer. They have ditched all the DSP and hardware zero latency stuff, which to me always meant another set of plugins and was why I didn't get a UAD Apollo Twin, and have just gone for low latency in and out of the DAW. It's easily good enough for live monitoring, I havn't properly tested how low I can go yet but low single figure millisecond round trip times will be easy, should be 3ms or better and completely stable. That's the same as standing 3 feet further away from your speakers when you're playing, in other words it is near enough to zero. I think the time has finally come when even my MarkBass Multiamp - which is DSP anyway - will go, and I'll just have everything "in the box", for (home) studio or live.

When you think you know what you want: buy used, buy something that sells pretty easily, and check plenty of prices beforehand to make sure you get a good deal. That way if you don't like it you just sell it on and do the same again. You might lose a little bit, but nothing like the hit you will take if you buy new and sell second hand. Always try before you buy. I've just broken that and my second hand rule for a Maruszcsyk but it'll be the only time I do it. Older Ibanez BTB basses come down into your price range sometimes.

The Sofa Shot has arrived! No way to post it from the mobile version of BC though? But, the bass will be on its way soon, and I have seen the bass of my dreams photographed in front of the legendary sofa.

Interested reading the home studio porn thread that lots of people have sound treatment in their rooms at home. Obvious question, how do you figure out what you need and where you need it?

It's Windows 10, thanks anyway though.

A bit of a long shot, but I'm just wondering if anyone anywhere in the vicinity of west yorks has any kind of working non PreSonus firewire audio interface I could borrow for a day or two? I'm trying to figure out why my rig has suddenly stopped working, I know it's not the interface cos I've got a PreSonus FireStudio Project and also a Mobile and it won't play with either of them, but then they both use the same drivers so if I had a different interface I'd learn something by whether it worked or not. I really do have a love/hate relationship with this stuff, it's amazing when it works but I've never encountered tech that's so unreliable. I know I've partly done it to myself by using Windows (there were reasons for that, I'm not a fan of it normally) but you look at the forums and Macs have issues too. And don't get me started on Thunderbolt 3. Sorry, Rant Off. Actually, if anyone has anything they could post it's probably worth me paying the postage both ways to try and get things solved. As usual tech support from PreSonus and from the laptop people is not helping a lot. Yes, I have turned it all off and on again.

Why Do Some People On BC Seem To Have No Sense Of Humor

[quote name='Ashweb' timestamp='1503858903' post='3361210'] TBH - After reading the previous posts on this thread and recalling some of my previous posts; I'm not sure if I'm part of the problem or part of the solution [/quote] If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. -
Not content with sending me free stickers when I asked if anyone had them, Mick got in touch months later to see if I wanted some more that he'd come by, and sent those. What a star!

Very nice, I like the way the outboard gear is racked at the back of the desk.

Now I've finally got some time for writing again, and have resolved to learn how my DAW and related things actually work, this looks like just the thing to get me doing something... well that's what I thought until I saw the July picture, which seemed very much not up my street. But, you don't learn if you don't try so I had a last minute change of heart and had a go anyway. Unfortunately it turned into a sort of strange latin rock blues thing half way through, but it's better than I expected [url="https://soundcloud.com/adamgx/charangatangorock"]https://soundcloud.com/adamgx/charangatangorock[/url]

Soundcloud's demise is apparently imminent.

In the diagram, what's C? I don't care, but I still have to know. -
What about a PRS HFS? I've got one in an S2 Custom 24 and I really like it, especially with coil tap for more options.
-
I would be looking to borrow something else to put the bass through to see if it still sounds the same, then you know whether you should be looking at fiddling with the amp or the bass. Tricky though, as everything sounds different.
-
Yep, second hand Ibanez RG would get my vote if you're on a budget and you're looking at the kind of guitars you linked to. There will be lots of choice and you would get the same spec and quality for less money or a lot more guitar for the same money.

[quote name='Fisheth' timestamp='1498929099' post='3328077'] I've ordered three from these guys and it's always worth it when it gets to your door! What did you order? [/quote] It's a Jake 5a+, 35" scale neck. Blue burst, everything else black including the back of the neck and head, apart from the MOP block inlays which I think just brighten it up a bit (always wanted block inlays). I was original wanting a Stringray 5HH in stealth black, then considering a Sandberg before I saw what I could get with a Maruszczyk. This will be my "rock bass" and should have a good range of quality tones (Delano pups and pre, active or passive). Tuners are ultralights and I'm hoping the monorail and 35" scale will make for a really nice big clean tone as well.
-
I'm liking what I'm seeing and hearing on here, the pointy bass is something special and that white 6 string is pretty close to what I'd get if I ordered another bass from them (but with flats on it). I've resisted asking how long mine's going to be, I'm not a great waiter (in either sense of the word, no good at taking soup to tables in restaurants either) but I really get the feeling it will be worth it.
-
Have you got a PCI-E x4 slot free? If you have then you could look at M.2 SSD, it's more bang for your buck. The SATA interface is the bottleneck now for SSD drives. I've got a laptop with M.2 SSD and you pretty much just turn it on, instead of it booting.
-
Oh dear, I seem to have just ordered one of these: [attachment=246887:Jake.jpg] The monorail bridge and Y tuners are mainly because I like them, but there is a little bit of me that wants them to make P bass fans twitch Worth calling out that although 95% of the spec was done through the configurator, you can ask them directly for other things as well, so this is coming with a gloss back neck and back/sides of headstock, which you can't choose through the site (and at no extra cost). If you want to know why these (and everything from Thomann, etc etc) is more expensive now than 2 years ago, just check out the chart: [url="http://www.xe.com/currencycharts/?from=GBP&to=EUR&view=2Y"]http://www.xe.com/cu...&to=EUR&view=2Y[/url] - It'll probably get worse, so I'm ignoring it and buying now. For me, I'm paying partly for the quality, but also for speccing out the exact bass I wanted. Bridge Humbucker + split coil + the rest... it's not going to be an easy wait!
