Such a fuddy-duddy. Get with the new, Jack.

I am trying to work out how to get wear by the scratchplate there.

Lots of good things in one place there.

I hate managing files on an iPad. It is just SUCH a pain. Files on OSX? I have never, ever even thought about it.

It does look like a cracking project though!

It should all be in one place so that I can feel properly inadequate about my skillset without having to browse through multiple forums!

I am not sure how I feel about wandering into a forum I don't come to as often and finding this juicy project. Are there others in here? Should they all not be in the Build Diaries forum? How can I be expected to keep track of EVERYTHING like this?

On loud stages I have had the front of my DB acting like a large microphone and could clearly hear the kick drum through my monitor even though it was not being sent there. So the instrument creates sets of problems before it even gets to amplification. I used to get all fussy about DB specific amps, but an Fdeck or a Vong HPF, both of which have a nice high impedance input sorts all that stuff out. A decent HPF sorts out nearly all the problems. The thud all we DB players crave does not really happen in the lower reaches of LF so a cab which does not actually go all the way down there is often better. The nicest not stupidly heavy cab I ever had was an ACME 12". It was bigger than your average 12 and that really let the speaker breathe. The nicest one of all was my Berg IP310 - but I could go on about that forever.

I have a set of roundwound Kala strings for a Ubass. If anyone is looking for some.

I was just thinking about grifters........

It went for £10500 + whatever the hammer fee etc will be. Prob another 25%ish

https://www.sustainiac.com/st-pro.htm says they can accomodate Bass guitars, But the page looks like it has been untouched since 199HTML so I have no idea if it is a thing or not.

I have a sustainer pickup fitted to my Tele (guitar). It is LOADS of fun. If they did one big enough for bass I would have one of those as well.

Certainly unlikely to be one finger per semitone!

To be fair, I would be pushing QSC in the direction of RCF quality rather than Alto etc.

Yes. For me, no. There is no doubt that it can work but it will mean an adaptation of technique. If you are playing a 34" 4 stringer with .45 strings then it will not immediately turn into a super sustaining organ pedals imitator. But given a change in technique and string gauge it is more than possible to make it function. That is OK, because you need to change elements of technique to get lots of FX pedals to give of their best.

But dem lo notes tho

One 12" speaker with huge excursion blah blah blah....... big cabs shift big air. Big air = yummy.

I can enjoy it being done well. But a long time ago I had student who slapped over everything. We were doing a PA lesson and he came on to soundcheck. He gave it the max thumb and the student engineer just deadpanned him, grabbed the talkback mic and said "play me something I can hear". We just fell about laughing.

That makes two of us.
