Very good point. This is so common issue, if the drummer hasn't got a metronome. I bought a metronome to our drummer, and it is far easier to play gigs. He did a (long) list of songs and has written tempos to every song. Tama RW30 costs £30 and setting the tempo is quick.

It seems that the core is round. If you are not careful when cutting it and then with installation, the winding may loosen. Hexagonal core keeps the winding better in place.

Just saw an L2 in very good condition. It looks fun, if not funny, but I did not have to buy it. Well, the price was also steep, £4300. I remember the time when it came out and it was something special. It still is, and I wonder when will we get something similar in terms of invention.

Also pound for pound my choice would be an inactive material. Look for Sr, not Zn. That watch may have had a Radium based material.

Inactive can push pretty much light in the activation phase, and it decays... you know it is a lot like ADSR. It gets lower and lower during next hours. I have tested an inactive material that was visible for around 75 hours in total darkness after activation. Super-Luminova is a Strontium based material, but as it wasn't available as powder (powder was mixed with a printing material, kind of a paint), the material tested was from another company. Active material (most common and practically only available to consumers is Tritium) has a sustain and release time of 12.5 years. Actually you can see some glow for around 25 years, but the latter half is already low. Some data can be found here: https://www.rctritec.com/en https://www.nemoto.co.jp/en/

Listening your own playing is easy with a looper. Really helpful tool while practising.

Tritium dots are functional for 12.5 years. I'd go for (Strontium based) inactive luminous material that can be functional for decades.

I started to wonder that if you heard high end up to 600 kHz, there was something interesting going on.

I try to nail the bass part in the very beginning. Then we (drs, b) can give the base to the others, as we are 11 in my main band. From that point of view it looks like I have not very much space, but actually more time to fix the tinier details (tempo and agogic changes, accents, colouring notes...). There's quite a lot of arranging within the band, and it is easier if the drummer and me can support arrangement work from the start. Besides many choices I do are subtle compared to winds (3) or singers (4) in the big picture. Not meaningless at all, but different.

Say what?

That wood looks so good, do you think it could be without a pickguard? The screw holes do not look good on that mahogany body top.

After reading the available material through, I am amazed that the material is downloaded only in so small numbers. Good text, lots of exercises to anyone playing bass.

Any headless is about the length of a g-word. If your background is violins, and your fingers understand very short scales, a fretless Guild Ashbory is small.

I hate these control plates without soldered ground wires. Cheapo. If any of the screws in that plate is loose, anything can happen.
