Do manufacturers think that a 4 is 34", and a 5 is 35"?

To consider: - low noise switches? - how many switches you - really - need? - battery saving mode if you forget it ON? Mine is a Pageflip Dragonfly. It has four quiet switches (would work in a studio, or with a symphony band), super long battery lifetime, and extra weight. The unit has lights, too, but the form of the unit is so distinctive you cannot miss. Low noise means no tactile feedback, but I do can see, when the page is turning. Now I would choose the simpler one with two switches only: Butterfly or Firefly. The two extra switches are not needed, but on the way. They are also slimmer units. There was extra metal inside that I removed. The pedal can move on a slippery floor, but because I carry everything in my mono case, lighter, and slimmer is better.

If you want your SSRW strings sound like flats, loan your bass for a couple of weeks to someone else. Do they wash their hands at all?

If (this is a big if) you have the right equipment, you could use RTA to make equalizing of the space every time. When that is fixed, the levels wouldn't be that big an issue to go through pretty quickly. I think low level vs. gig level represent different things.

Barefaced, GR, alusonic... Something like 1x10", 1x12", 2x10", 2x12".

Corrected. No, I love similar projects, too. Something you could put some effort to, is the blending of the pickups. Most straightforward option is to use the Noll Mixpot. With it mixing does not load pickups, and for me the result sounds far better than with any hi-Z blend.

Strings... does the part between finger and bridge rattle, or between finger and nut? Sometimes sympathetic resonance may create funny sounds from the fretboard.

Dear @Danage, Please read and reread this a couple of times. As long as you have a system without active components, @Acebassmusic pretty much described all you will get. I have done these ser/par/single mods since 80's, and my findings could be abriged to this: Ser / single is the most useful because of the change in level and sound.

We are 11. We practise every Thursday. We have been doing gigs since 1988. What does not separate us from the others is that we have had many drummers. Just like in the famous rockumentary Spinal Tap.

You just haven't found the right OD.

As it has been said a couple of times: Hire a sound wo/man to make a new template, and mix the next few gigs ("because we can concentrate on playing", "our sound needs some expertise"). After say, three gigs, the new sound should be the state of the art. If that g-word player wants to change it, you can ask how it will become better, because the pro fixed it already. I know there are people who do not understand mixers too well, and want to see the (distorted) lights flash. A cool extra is to get an hour from that sound wo/man that tells everybody, what should be done. I would love to participate. How to get the most out of the desk. (By the way: "This is my mixer" sounds so very childish.)

Four... and three strings?

Just oil the wood, and it will faintly resemble Mesa/Boogie, although cooler.

Glockenklang is also an option if you don't want to go the "Crown power amp with a hifi xxxxxxx pre" road. I have been considering measuring my rig for some time. I have the equipment but some personal resistance has been ahead. The place should be outside, as rooms always colour the results a lot. Let's see...

A pair of 4 ohm cabs is fine if you use... two amps!

Which unit are you using? Plethora?

Stays in tune no matter what temp or weather. No need for a trussrod. Soundwise, can of worms. I am playing an MG Genesis, a Vigier Passion II (carbon part reaches the neck pickup), a Status MM neck bass, a Status headless copy, and I used to play an MG Quantum 5 SPi. What I like in the graphite is its stability. Neck profiles are different, but all basses stay in tune very well.

I saw an animation as a kid where an elf painted chessboards with checkered paint. Boy, that was quick!

...and if your bass is hi-Z ("passive"), or lo-Z, the fuzz/OD/dist pedal will sound different. Your options are: - works with your bass, put the pedal right after the bass - you have many basses with different outputs, a buffer or another pedal in front of the crunch pedal may be in order - buy all crunches that work with your basses And do lots of testing to find your own. I tried several side by side. EBS was terrible (for me that is), most of the Darkglasses likewise (except Duality), Muff's popularity I didn't get at all, Boss pedals were a chore... The variety of fuzz/OD/dist pedals (and even rack units) is so wide, that I really recommend using your own bass when testing. I even have one board for hi-Z basses, and two boards with different fuzzes (and compressors) for lo-Z basses. Believe me or not, you cannot mix and match every pedal with every bass.

They did an "enhancement" and "designed" the Corvette that looks a bit like a Gus bass. Every time I see a Thumb, I like it, but a Corvette makes me laugh. Thumb is one good sounding bass, but the Dolphin was something I wanted, although never bought. They were expensive and rare from the start.
