The bottom 4 of a slightly lighter 5 string set methinks.

Way less than half the musicians I know could whip up a recording session in the next hour, me neither.

YouTube fubar here too sometimes.

I thought there was a Leonard Cohen song about that.

Most solid state amps sound like whatever preamp you are using.

Luxury yachts are probably the best example of the one eyed views on ''trickle down theory''. On the one hand it's the rich pissing on the poor. On the other hand luxury yachts employ a lot of skilled tradesmen to build and maintain them. That's a big industry here in NZ.

Speaks to brand value. It's a thing.

don't do squat to low frequencies , neither do iso pads unless you share the floor. Piano is loud and percussive with it. You better hope your neighbours like piano! My through the wall neighbours can't hear my bass practice amp but they can hear if I get too rowdy with the rig. I never hear their TV, just an occasional thump from kid banging around. Gibraltar board multilayer fireproof wall also good for serious noise reduction!

Your microtonal stuff is following its own rules.

If it did I wouldn't have a job! What I am aghast at is deliberately detuning wood chimes as if it's something nice to hear when the natural sounding ones would actually have done quite nicely.

Bingo.

The Rolling Stones.

The Travelling Wilburys.

New question. Why does this thread default to ''Most Votes'' every time I open it? Very annoying.

Seems to be a growing trend. My own intonation is not that great but damn it sounds horrible when it's so deliberately off it sounds like cats on a fence. What has set me off is the latest pop tune getting airplay with a ''tribal wood chimes?" synth part featured chorus. Bugger me days, no self respecting tribal musician sets up a full set of percussion with A400. I am not talking about vocalists bending notes to pitch or using autotune as an effect. Nobody under 25 seems able to hit a note at karaoke these days. What gives?

I would have thought you would have plugged in a bass and gone ''dang this thing can't satisfy'' before posting the thread. Ime of guitar amp bass I tried the guitarist's 50w Marshall with his 412, at his insistence. We turned it up until it distorted, at which point it was making 1 mousepower. Ymmv.

I think I might still have one in a drawer after giving up in disgust so colour me interested in how to get some smooth synth out of it also.

Only concern is providing the proper cab impedance to the amp.

There is far more chance of a backup amp being stolen out of my car or filched at the venue than there is of my amp failing. I am sure I am not the only (occasionally) paid player that doesn't pay for professional gear insurance.

Seems to have sorted itself out since 8 hrs ago.

Some find the 200w Elf quite adequate as a main amp while others sneer at it, all playing rock with guitars and drums. Ymmv. Having multiple cabs makes 200w go far so worth a look imo.

DI into PA as a backup solution might not be nearly as preferable as using a bass amp or even a spare bass bass amp. If the preference is for DI to PA then taking an amp would be the backup plan.

Was deathly slow last night ( 11 hours ago ). Appears ok this morning.

19'' rackable anps in combos were the order of the day. I just explained why it was never really 'a thing' in the first place.
