    Bow finishing, David Wilson, Sims guitars.

    Meguiars ultimate compound followed by Meguiars ultimate polish. If the scratch is deep but not through the clear, wetsand, 1500, 2000, 2500, 4000 (must use sanding block - tiny one as I'm presuming the scratch is small!) then Meguiars polish. (Not for the fainthearted... and don't go through the clear coat!

    Nathan East plays a stock BBNE2 5 string... apart from when he plays his 6 string BBNE2... which isn't available to the public (that kinda counts in a roundabout way, right?)

    I'm guessing... cos Wal filter based preamp is a bit of a devil to adjust on the fly... Anything in the studio has probably been processed to death... and I think I read that he liked the carbon necks as they never moved, so on tour, they were consistent with no issues of altering the truss rod or getting action right. They just don't move. But you know, I read this on the internet so it could be complete b*llocks.

    Hmm, looking into the Garrison vs Janek signatures, there really isn't any discernible difference between the two at first glance. It would seem that all the Garrison esque changes have been incorporated... so yeah, if there is a kickback, I can see Matt being p1ssed. I've never really thought about it because it's not likely to be the sort of thing that would ever be something that I'd need to consider. Fodera designs I guess are a bit more specialised I guess... but looking through a different lens, all these Fender Jazz bass signatures... how different are they to each other... really? I mean, they are all kinda the same with just a few notable exceptions (e.g. the Marcus one)

    And it took that long to get that out? All seems a bit playground. Also - I wasn’t aware that the high C was anybody’s thing? I hope that Janek gets to his goal. Getting YouTube to work is pretty hard - but for me, he’s going to have to be far more engaging!
  8. EBS_freak
    And what was your take on it?
  9. EBS_freak
    I dunno. The marlowedk signature was short lived love. How many people will buy a Scott or Janek bass because of them? I bought a Nathan East signature cos it’s a killer bass. Nothing to do with Nathan although I do really dig on his playing. I wish it didn’t have the East inlay on the 12 fret.

    Those trinkets are great! I do love an Arduino project. My latest is a foot controller for online presentations, controlling multiple cameras angles, camera sliders, teleprompt control, lighting controls, mute (of course!) bringing in graphics on screen (via key/fill) and stepping through presentations/infographics etc. Total tap dancing work out but it's pretty ace. One man band television studio! (But great for my online conference stuff - keeps my hands free (I do a lot of talking with my hands!))

    At last. How long has it taken you? ...Im not saying anything.

    You dont want an adapter. An aux isn't really designed to drive headphones... There should be a headphone amp in there somewhere, whether it's on the other side of a wireless connection, or in this case, in between the aux and the headphone. Plus it gives you the ability to easily change volume should you need to.
  13. EBS_freak
    A Behringer P2 is the answer you are looking for.

    The DAD6001 may be.... but... The clip isn't. https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/miscellaneous-adapters/dpa-plastic-belt-clip-for-dad6001-xlr-adapter
  15. EBS_freak
    Ooh, I like that. That ball joint is quite useful. I've come across these before, from DAP (just reverse the clip to change the orientation of the XLR). Nice solution but obviously, it's not quick release, so becomes part of the XLR. I don't personally like having something without a volume control on my belt though - but each to their own. (So even if I had a dedicated amp, I'd want a volume control post that). Again, what works for you and all that.
  16. EBS_freak
    There’s your problem. They aren’t great. A single balanced armature just won’t cut it.
  17. EBS_freak
    Totally! Although he didn't tour with the band, so visually not represented in any of the live performances.
  18. EBS_freak
    Rutger. He’s quite possibly the best unknown but in the open bassplayer out there. If he was American or British, he probably would have been more of household name! Love his stuff.

    You'll get a bazillion different answers... but as far as what I did to get the ball rolling... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Beatles-Complete-Scores-Transcribed-Score/dp/0793518326/ref=asc_df_0793518326/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310081590442&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3500387670720029362&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007151&hvtargid=pla-525453688488&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 And played a long. Did a number of things, got me into reading the notes (although tab is included if it's not your thing). Got me understanding melody in bass - Paul McC is a master on this front. I don't play anything like Paul McC now - and got very much into techniques and expanding my trickbag I guess... but that was a super solid starting point. Nowadays, I think the players that I more gravitate towards are the likes of James Jamerson, Nate Watts, and say, folk like Bernard Edwards... but that melodic approach can still be traced backed to those early days battling through Paul's basslines. And then there's the stuff that I have focused on which pushes the technique... but is ultimately quite useless in most band situations. Of course, getting into transcribing your fave stuff and how you want to play really helps develop you.

    Notes 12 minutes in and he's still talking about the fact that people are largely anonymous and have different views, some positive and some negative. 13 minutes in and now he's talking about monetising the channel and getting subscribers. 17 minutes... still talking about monetising the channel and repeating the last video. Nope. This is dross. I can't even cope with it a x2. It's just inane nonsense filler.
  22. EBS_freak
    I'm buzzing through it at x2 in the background. Jeez, there's so so so so much filler. Who sits through this?

    C'mon, we don't need bumps.

    You've got all this wrong. Bassdirect's website inaccuracies is a ploy to drive people to the site. People beach on here and click on the links or go to the website to see for themselves. If there's anything that people like to do, it's point when somebody is wrong. Drive up the traffic, up goes your google ranking. Win/win. (Of course, we all know this isn't really the plan... but it's benefiting them through fluke rather than judgement)
