    I already mentioned the new mooers in another thread. Please check E7 and Tone capture. mooeraudio.com/

    Using the old Type 85. High end, indestructible. Eats 9 V and Phantom. And piezos.

    Anyone interested in double neck, this is the thing. I used to have the previous model. The string spacing is not for me but if fretless solos are of interest, or you just want to bring a single instrument to a gig, look no further. Mine was a quality one and this price is a steal. Compared to my white one, this looks far better. Good luck for the seller and congrats for the buyer. These will probably be rare in the near future.

    I sent him a list of my effects measured with an Agilent DMM. The numbers have not appeared in his pages. Has he retired?

    I have to say that blond fingerboards are usually not nice, but this is unlined (has to be rare!) and looks really kool!

    GHS long scale +, and D'Addarios that fit 36" scale basses.

    No need for a double neck...

    By the way, there is one EMG in my closet, too...

    Welcome sir, I think that changing the last letter (you don't have to ask, how I knew), you should ask @ped If you are in need of a neck, there may be a chance to discuss about one, the tinted one. Do not make screw holes for the neck, yet...

    Tammi Terrell, Minnie Riperton, Patsy Cline, Dana Dawson, Laura Branigan, Amy Winehouse... too early gone just like Whitney. Too bad. But that's life. I know, you were thinking of F. Sinatra, but this late singer had The Voice. So ladies and genitals: A. Franklin! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XESo86WgOrE

    New Fender Lineup

    itu replied to Cuzzie's topic in Bass Guitars

    Could the header have been: "Old Fender lineup"? I may be repeating myself, but a different colour in Jazz is nothing new, isn't it? So if they would do something novel, what it might be?

    ...and the optional €uroprice might be of interest, too.

    Tony Levin and Jerry Marotta in Peter Gabriel's Big time. Levin developed Marotta's drum sticks to funk fingers. If there are too many strings, Atlansia has Solitaire bass.

    I find fretless and fretted two very different instruments. And I do love both. I play fretless less, like using fewer notes. It sings in a different way.

    I wrote about my Quantum 5 earlier. As she has left the building, I have now a MG Genesis 5. It is somewhat big and heavy, but the neck! Thick but not overly, and 19 mm at last! This is my thing. 34, 35 or 36" but 19 mm at the bridge end.

    4-string fretted: Vigier Passion II, 1988 5-string fretted: Modulus Graphite Genesis, 1999 4-string fretless: custom hi-Z NT made by K. Ukkonen, 2016 eub: Clevinger 5, 1990 something Playability should be far better if I would even consider changing any of these. Fretless and eub are not for sale at all.

    Open the back plate (if there is one) and spray some contact cleaner to the switch. Then B - N - B - N - B - N... until the switch works well again.

    I am the tallest and ugliest guy in the band, so my instrument is naturally - bass. What's the difference between a double bass and a coffin? Corps is inside the coffin. (I know it was an old one, but I haven't heard any new ones in a decade or so.)

    Every material gives matter to the air at the atomic level in nearly all temperatures. Like was the problem with 1 kg standard weight (in Paris, n'est-ce pas?). Sure, all amounts do mean a lot with a material like lead. A small fan is just so comfortable with any fumes, be it resin/rosin or metals.

    Flat response is possible. The drawback is, that the sensitivity will be reduced quite some. Passive X-over can cut frequency peaks = less noise, so you get a PA (i.e. bass) speaker that is not that loud. An amp is very easy to make flat. A speaker is far harder but doable. In these days of light and big D-class wattage it would be just fine to drive a speaker that is not so sensitive, to make it still sound pretty loud.

    As someone said earlier, these days you need to pay relatively much to buy a basic instrument (like jazz) but you can get a high end instruments like this incredible Pedulla for a very decent price. I wish she finds a caring home soon. Yes, the specs and the looks are tempting, but I just got something else with 5 strings and 19 mm spacing. A long-term dream come true. She sings for me.

    I have a small red Hotone, that is reasonably light in weight. It has two other functions that I do not use. As long as the size is not an issue, passive pedals are practically identical. The only bigger difference is the passive pot, lower or higher impedance. Another thing is the reliability, so sometimes metal may be better in harsh conditions, but this depends. These are good, they say: https://missionengineering.com/product-category/products/expression/ but this is special: https://www.sourceaudio.net/reflex-expression-controller.html

    And the fumes are...? Flux, i.e. resin/rosin. It is true, you do not have to inhale it. The similar resins are there in the lead-free, too. Melting point of lead (Pb) is around 330 degree Celsius and boiling point over 1700 Celsius. If you are able to boil the tin with your iron, I would love to know the model, as I want similar.

    Yesterday it was Dave Weckl, Tribal Tech, and Brian Bromberg, today Händel. Refreshing to listen to very different music.
