The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
MoonBassAlpha replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
The Woody Rumblekat I referred to was my best friend's. I only played it when he first got it and I did a setup with half-round strings. He wasn't a fan of very bright tones. I do know it was nice to play but if you need twangy tones, probably not the best choice. -

Have you considered the Epi Allen Woody? -
End of an era… Award Session to close in a couple of months…
MoonBassAlpha replied to TrevorR's topic in General Discussion
I had the Session 4x10 too. The preamp was great. I imagine a 600W class D amp and 4 neo 10" speakers would have made a very tidy proposition as it wasn't a super heavy cabinet. -

I've been meaning to get the Retrotone upgrade done on my Rockette 30 and received a reply that they are no longer doing the service work. I shouldn't have put it off for so long -

Listen to Girls Talk Dave Edmunds Cover by Jules Moss on #SoundCloud https://on.soundcloud.com/U1KQi8rPaCRsPZKFyL My December cover challenge, massive thanks to my band's singer Matt Sewell for singing this, my own efforts were unbearable! Bass, drums and many guitars by me, recorded in Reaper. This tune is a particular favourite of my wife, so also a small bonus Xmas pressie... -
December the X factory Composition Challenge
MoonBassAlpha replied to lurksalot's topic in Recording
I've got the music done. It's too high for me to sing so I got my singer to do it. He said he wasn't happy with his first go and would do it again tonight, but unfortunately has found himself in the pub instead, so if I do get another version, it will be in the 'pub style'! Oh dear! -
July , Tis the time for another Composition Challenge
MoonBassAlpha replied to lurksalot's topic in Recording
Ah, those aren't in the list. Another thought I've had is some 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapters don't always make great connection with the sleeve of the headphone plug resulting in a very odd frequency response. Might be worth trying a different adapter if you have one, or comparing the sound at your mixing setup to plugging the headphone straight into your phone without using an adaptor? -
Intonation set up on Cort B5 Element
MoonBassAlpha replied to neil___lien's topic in Repairs and Technical
My take is that the string in question isn't making contact at the fingerboard side of the nut, but further back. This would result in what they're finding. -

This is all predicated on VHS having that model in their library of course. -

If you can find some frequency graphs for those specific phones you might be able to add an eq curve to flatten them out. If they're a popular brand they should be out there somewhere. I use a plugin called Hornet VHS that has a large library of headphones' response curves. What is the make and model? I'll see if they're listed. -
Dan Coggins is currently taking on repairs again, Oxfordshire based. Does valve amps mainly, and transistor/ fet ones, but not really the digital stuff. Encyclopaedic knowledge! He's great with analogue pedals too, having been the designer of the legendary Lovetone pedals... Email [email protected] No affiliation, just a happy customer and mate!

MoonBassAlpha replied to lurksalot's topic in Recording
There's some great stuff in here, but I get what you mean about the mix, it's tilted towards the treble too much, ensnare and cymbals, and the bass is somewhat missing. I know what it's like hammering it to get it done to the deadline and losing some perspective along the way. Your stuff usually sounds amazingly well produced! Still voted for it all the same! -

Thanks Al, much appreciated! I haven't listened to any others yet, but looking forward to it! -

Ok, here's my entry, another hurried effort, but I'm out tomorrow, hence the rush! Inspired by the picture and by a jam at a friend's house over 40 years ago. Turned out a bit more guitarry than I intended, but these things do tend to evolve a life of their own, once started. Guitars and bass going in via a NuX Mighty Plug thing, except the lead guitar, Cry Baby into a Session Rockette 30. The usual Gretsch kit and tambourine, all into Reaper. -

If Status still do them their half rounds are brighter than flats, and not expensive at all!
