  1. Gauge isn't really part of the equation. Only because we are familiar with gauge and density is mostly fairly consistent do we consider gauge to be the variable.
  2. I studied violin at highschool. Went off on my OE and never hung out much in rowdy bars until I got back. There was a blues band playing Rolling Stones covers and I thought 'dang I can get my head around that bass better go get me one of those bass guitars'. So I did.
  3. Depends on what you want and how much you want to pay. Any professional car painter can do a solid or a burst, won't charge the moon, and it'll be a top notch finish.
  4. You might need to put a couple of extra piles under the bass wall or you could wind up with subsidence.
  5. Any car painter will be able to do a sweet job of giving your precious some stupid flashy paintjob.
  6. https://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/objects-and-stories/goodbye-hello-girls-automating-telephone-exchange Could spend all day there. My old (then) theory teacher was a telephone girl. She was old enough then to tell of the time she found out Mick Jagger was "not a very nice person". Her job was monitoring transatlantic calls for line quality. Mick would place calls to multiple women telling them they were the one and how much he was looking forward to getting back to them. The way she told it you would have been in for a jail sentence if you divulged private information at the time. Perhaps they gave all those jobs to antipodeans on their OE knowing they wouldn't give a rats' about Mick Jagger.
  7. Yup. 2 of. Your average TC amp has a pile of compression and low end filtering as a rule. This means it doesn't put a lot of power into the lows that break drivers with farty sounds. Instead you will be at risk of cooking them with midrange shouty sounds. The rule is to turn up and up until you don't hear it get any louder. Assuming you didn't already get to the fart threshold you have found the heat threshold. It's a good idea to turn back down a little from there to leave room for digging in extra hard in all the excitement of the show.
  8. Me for three. Could be a guitar cab, which would make for severe disappointment when cranked. "Hopefully it will work" suggests you haven't actually demo'd it yet. Model number / name?
  9. After the gauge you have to know the density, to determine mass per unit length, then string length and tension determines pitch of fundamental. Also end conditions, but these are pretty much the same for all strings. It's an odd combo of fixed and free mode. They aren't really free and they aren't really fixed either. I think they usually bodge it and consider the end to be free some distance away from the nut and bridge. Otherwise you would have to consider the stiffness in the string at the ends.
  10. A song rich in harmonies that flows really, converted to a corresponding set of harmonies, also flows really well. Big deal. All that proves is the system is valid. Could be useful to composers who want a shift of mood without changing key?
  11. At least you are cognizant of the trades that are made. Mostly you wind up trading money for lightness. See video of the Barefaced guy holding his 310 up in the air like he could throw it across the room no problem. If you can afford one of those you should be set. An Ashdown Ant could make quite a racket with a 100dB cab like that. If you ever had a hankering for a tube amp now is probably the time. Although a little bit heavy the box size is easy enough to manage on stairs. You need to be still steady on your feet not needing the handrail. At that stage you can go micro.
  12. You were a bit slow. I watched the intro and then scooted to the conclusion. So I caught a blow by of some of the alternative schemes. That softened the concluding statement not one little bit. We won't all be converting to tab after all!
  13. If the rest lives up to the front page I needn't bother at all! Cook's version in three sentences please.
  14. The explanation vid tells what is going on. Whether it was a good idea or not, dunno, take happy happy tune and turn it emo for kicks?
  15. Take the 410 back. The combo with the extension just needs the amp ripped out and a speakon wired up direct to the place the combo amp used to connect. Then you only need a new amp.
  16. If he is doing his practice he'll need a real amp that can keep up with guitars and drums pretty soon. Metronome.
  17. If he is doing his practice he'll need a real amp that can keep up with guitars and drums pretty soon. Metronome.
  18. If he is doing his practice he'll need a real amp that can keep up with guitars and drums pretty soon. Metronome.
  19. Gas for orange Gretch duely reignited. I had forgotten I lusted after one of those, thankyou very much. Note lack of exclamation mark.
