If you have a jacked up body you can fit bigger wheels and tires, and brakes and a new differential, and a ladder. Then you are ready to exit the supermarket carpark in any direction you please.

TS jack plugged into TRS socket - what happens?
Downunderwonder replied to franzbassist's topic in General Discussion
Nothing. It's mono all the way. -
Thinking about band merch...any tips please

I am glad someone with the proper background piped up. I was just shaking my head at the image going "steady on tiger, what's with the fine art on a shirt going to cost". -
Tell him he needs to channel his inner rockstar. Good enough for DG, good enough for him.

Can somebody explain DI Recording to a dummy?
Downunderwonder replied to MikeTheMisfit's topic in General Discussion
Not sure what the question is. A DI takes the raw bass signal and converts it to match the impedance of the mixing console. For recording it is handy to record that if you have preamp and fx plugins. You can mess with the clean raw track all day. You always have the original to go back and have another go. Recording a preamped signal means you are stuck with that version as your basis. -

Stick them on Ebay 25 quid a pair and they will fly away. -
Vintage valve amp, but still able to DI to PA?
Downunderwonder replied to ossyrocks's topic in Amps and Cabs
Just add DI onboard and off to the races. Still some so called sound person will insist on using their DI in front. Tell them to listen to the DI. Stand there until they do. If it's as quiet as you say there will be no further angst. -

Sam is gonna be busy. Add the "Trace Elliot" to the print and do a run. Could be a nice little earner for years to come. -

Ime the same sound jockeys that are insistent on a bass direct are the ones that goose the lows and decimate everything but a bit of clank. So I make a point of having them listen to the sound on stage before having them listen to my post EQ signal. My sound is very tight, staying out of the way of the kick drum. We don't want that thundering either. It's even odds on the drummer getting up and removing the mic and just kicking the hell out of it when needed. -
One way to find where best to put your sub is a very simple experiment. Put it where you want the biggest bass ie the middle of the dancefloor. Play a bass heavy track and go around the room to find the best booming position of the available wall spots to put the sub for the show. Put the sub there and it will thump back where you want it.

Your blonde tele must be feeling very left out.

Given the state of it I would fill it with a piece of black card and call it good until caving and doing a refinish.

£280 plus shipping is still getting on for double the NZ price. Ask your tech about fitting the bits and bobs to put a balanced DI on you amp. -

I don't think a 20dB pad is nearly enough for putting on the speaker feed. -

They are massively gouging on the price. 325 NZD with free shipping here. -

Easy for most desks to roll off the highs. Your SC is more flat response than most cabs. Your other option is to mic the cab. Expect a lot of pushback from sound yobbos that never did it before and expect doom. You can avert most of it by being hyper organised with your mic and stand so you are ready to go from your mic to their DI XLR in or just the lead, before they go messing with your lead to amp. -

Eh? The 85 has two inputs. One for speaker signal and the other is your usual DI instrument. -

Countryman 85 DI. So long as your amp isn't noisy your amp signal will go through to the desk with no drama. Best to have a flat respsonse full range cabinet. -

Matching the strap to the bass?
Downunderwonder replied to Jean-Luc Pickguard's topic in General Discussion
My eyes always prefer a good contrast to a close match. The OP teal and slightly different teal gets away with it. -
Indulge me. Does this sound right? My first time recording dirt
Downunderwonder replied to lidl e's topic in Effects
Sounds like it glitches out with a limiter from time to time. Otherwise fine if it's what you want. -
