Vibrational stress.

It's a bit Goth.

Would that qualify as a piercing?

Finders keepers?

The upper horn is longer than usual and elicits a certain response in some bass spods.

Slightly too small if you check the dims?

And audio interface

Squier Bronco, cheap as chips second hand, really easy to play.

Ok, I did some mixing yesterday, and as has been reported in some of the reviews on Studiospares website, the "politeness" in the treble can lead to missing some detail in the mix. I switched to my old Sennheiser 202 cheapies, which are more bass and treble emphasised, and though the overall signal showed more distortion, it did pull out some detail on reverb on the drum overheads that I didn't like, that I had missed using the m2000s. It's almost the headphone equivalent of using ns10 monitors to check the mix vs proper studio monitors.

I may have missed this in the topic, but what gauge did you go for on the low B string, and what is the tension like at that scale? Lovely work again Andy!

Normally one would tighten the truss rod to straighten the neck. Rightly-tighty!

Just been sent the code REC10 to use at checkout for an extra 10% off - keeps getting better! I don't really need any more sets, but I'm still tempted!

You could do worse than the Studiospares m2000 I mentioned in another thread in this section. They are quite boring sounding, but quite flat for that type of money(currently down from £69 to £29), and mixes sound pretty good on other phones. I listened to one of my recent mixes today on a colleagues pair of Monster DNA phones and was very impressed by the detail and openness. They weren't hyped in the bass and the mids and top end imaged nice and clearly. They're about £80, watch out for fakes at a too-good-to-be-true price though! I also record on an R24! I can't say from experience how well it drives higher impedance phones, I also use a Studiospares 4-way headphone amp for live tracking with the band, and that has plenty of oomph on tap. The mono switch is useful too. HTH MBA

Give it a few days and come back to it, then it will seem like someone else has done all the guitar tracks for you!

new heads up, they are now down to £29, an absolute steal! Thank me later! MBA

This is the entry, I think! I was going to mix it again and add some more vocals, but my guitarist put the rough mix up on our band SoundCloud already. So, it may get tweaked if I find time, or this will be it. This was the second take, as the tempo first time through was "wrong", apparently, bass-warts n all! Irie-Psychokiller

Don't worry Douglas, we're used to it by now

It won't be ptfe, more likely ldpe, low density polyethylene.

Yes. No problem unless both pedals exceed the psu total rating.

6.0 user here. Use it on all my gigs. It's a very neutral sounding thing. No complaints.

So if it's ~200W into 4 ohms, do they say what it puts out into an 8 ohm load?

I think I will be IN this month, we've just recorded a cover that we've knocked about a couple of times over the years, but tonight we changed the genre. Drums, guitar and vox down, just need to put a more coherent bass on, then mix, and, by Jove!, it'll be done!

I'm wondering if the voice coil is distorted and rubbing on the magnet as the cone resonates? Unless the speaker has an obvious tear in it, it's hard to see how else it could make a noise under passive resonance.

Yeah it's not beyond the realms of possibility that the speaker would have a resonant frequency of ~82 Hz if it's not a specialist bass speaker.

One caveat I would add: I've found my cheaper sennheisers (202?) are good for the money, but don't handle loud uncompressed bass as well as the studiospares. I suspect this would be one of the distinctions between the £20 ish vs £50 ish phones across the board. If you don't practice too loudly, or aren't having to track in the same room as a live drummer, this would be less of an issue for you. HTH MBA
