Have you seen the Jaco video with Jerry Jemmott? Pastorius is talking about a fretted bass played on top of frets. Is your style similar, mimicking fretless?

Again, I like your approach, and videos are fun. I am so old, that those Clarke & Level 42 sounds sound better. I have to admit that I listened to them a bit too much then, fingerstyle seems to be more of an interest to me nowadays. (After all, technique is still something else than what is achieved with it. I need more than one finger to play Jamerson, years ago my slapping was nearly fluid. I have studied legato playing lately, and that's hard, I think as hard as playing right notes in right place. And all those durations should be right on, but...)

That's one product in the field of speakers and headphones. I would call that a generalization. Where can I find the data where producers have been analyzed as slightly deaf?

Now I want you to show some real evidence. That "edge" sounds funny. And if you say producers are slightly deaf, you certainly know something I do not. High quality studio monitors tend to have flat response compared to some PA stuff people have funnily labeled as FRFR. What is true is that monitors have to be fitted to the room. If you, @DTB have not done that thoroughly, yet, there's work to be done. Harsh sound does not mean there's problem with monitors, but you just need to get back and continue with the adjustments. Monitors can be very clear, while plain hifi speakers are usually more forgiving even though their frequency responses may look equal. Do not get mixed with sharp sound and freq. response.

I had an unlined fretless 5 in pau ferro and it was pretty light in colour. Good feel but not wide enough for me, I like 19 mm string width. How does that look without the pickguard?

That is something companies do not advertise frequently. Exact specs are not so popular among marketing people - my guess is that you are not able to find it anywhere. Wattage on the other hand...

Contact Taylor. It is far easier to get one from him than try to find one elsewhere. Yes, I had to pay some extra because of VAT and customs etc. but the pedal is in active use. Duffy's Mercy bass sound is so easy to reproduce.

Check Iron Ether Nimbus. You can select the frequencies you want to reverberate. Very useful, very bass specific adjustments.

@bassman7755 I think you could go far higher. 7 Hz is very low, you can go easily up to 30 Hz without losing anything significant or important. You would still cover audible frequencies.

The last part is seriously fun!

Start from any shop that sells basses. Play, feel with an open mind and find few things you like in different instruments. Come back with those attributes and we will steer you.

There's another point in parallel wiring: if the other element happens to break, some of the load still remains.

I already see smoke... If your other amp has tube power amp, wire the cab to fit it. Solid state is more immune to load.

I think Tacuma used Steinberger (L-2?) already with Cosmetics. The white one is clearly a Steinberger: shape, three knobs in a row (EMG electronics, maybe the tilt eq), name in the body. Model is probably from early 90's.

...because Alfa and Renault, but how about BR green? And which brand?

Input of an amp, one or two choices. You can try both. If the gain adjustment is sufficient, use whichever you find functional. It is not uncommon to put an extra resistance to the other input. Even though the inputs are named as active and passive, the bass output can be high or low, no matter the bass electronics. Please try. Bass output impedance (Z) can be high or low, but most amp inputs can digest both. Sometimes piezo basses are complicated to the amp input. This may be handled with a buffer, an extra preamp, or an effect acting as a buffer. The strings can be built with thinner or thicker core. That affects the tension. There are not too many materials available, therefore the proportions of the different parts change the string tension. Or simply the diameter: try 30-90, and some set that starts from 50. From twang to plunk.

When I had a copy of Status (Washburn) I used double ball end Rotosound Funkmasters (606?) and they were always exact length.

My Dragonfly has a battery saving function and it goes to deep sleep after certain time. I changed the 2 x AA batteries after 18 months of use, and they were still in decent condition. I do not see an issue keeping the wire connected, but the consumption has to be very low.

Heavy duty use, there's probably some kind of a thermal fuse that needs to cool down. Are you driving the amp at max, or close? Is there lots of space around that the amp can cool well? Remember, the pot positions do not tell much about the power. Addition: If you push lots of lows out the amp will certainly warm up. Low end needs a lot of energy and that means watts. A picture of your settings and the casing might reveal something.
