Normally 35 when watching with The Wife, but when she's in bed I set it to 31, sometimes 29 or 27 if it's a particularly loud mix. Mark Quote

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are multiples of five, Tuesdays and Thursdays are multiples of four, and the weekend is prime numbers. 1 Quote
itu Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I set the vol of the TV to 0, 3, 6, 9, 12... why on earth I decided to study acoustics? Quote

itu Posted January 7 Posted January 7 It's a Sony, and definitely does not have 3 dB steps in vol. Do I have to turn on my B&K and measure the steps? No no... now you @Stub Mandrel have planted the seed... bugger. 3 Quote
Mottlefeeder Posted January 7 Posted January 7 I set the TV volume at zero, and use the HiFi volume to control the sound level. It does not have numbers. David 1 Quote

David We have a sound bar that's the same. It was great. Until firestick. Now there is off/tooquiet/tooloud .... never been higher than that. It's bloody infuriating. Quote
AinsleyWalker Posted yesterday at 10:06 Posted yesterday at 10:06 (edited) 1) People who post 'collection-only' pedal listings online 🥴 This isn't the noticeboard on your local village green... Sending a pedal via post isn't hard. I've sent 3 this week... I wouldn't sell things anywhere near as quick as I do currently (generally less than a week turnaround) if I refused to arrange delivery. Just denying yourself a sale. 2) People who post very specific job-lots of individually expensive items and refuse to split 🥴 I can understand if the job-lot is cheap, but I've seen a few people post entire pedalboards totalling over £1000... What are the odds someone wants your exact setup lol? Why would you not just sell piecemeal and make the sales? Imagine if you went into a shop and they said sorry you can't buy this single Tshirt, you need to buy an entire pre-chosen wardrobe of clothes.... I genuinely think some people aren't bothered about making the sale, and just want to play shopkeeper on the internets. Edited yesterday at 10:08 by AinsleyWalker 4 2 Quote

Marvin Posted yesterday at 11:17 Posted yesterday at 11:17 (edited) I'm with those who don't like painted necks. I don't like active on board eq that doesn't have a mid control. White pickguards. Those baseball caps with the really flat peak. Ugh. Edited yesterday at 13:15 by Marvin Quote

Marvin Posted yesterday at 13:17 Posted yesterday at 13:17 People who have to have the application they're using on full screen on a shared terminal... and don't close it. They're not using the full functionality of the windows... thing. Actually, I think that's a daily annoyance Quote

They're only there to cover over the front routing, and if the control cavity was rear routed instead, they could be done away with. They're just there to show that your expensive bass has been made as cheaply as possible. Harley Benton can manage rear routing of a bolt-on bass for £155, you'd think other makers could do as well for basses costing ten times as much. 2 Quote

Acoustic instruments have them, and many semi-acoustics and some others (e.g. many Gibsons) have decorative ones and have rear-routed control cavities. 1 Quote

On an acoustic instrument where you need to strum for volume, I can understand a guard (but I'd prefer not to have one) but on electric basses they have been almost solely cosmetic (Jazz bass) or to hide routing (P bass). Some look OK, others look tacky. Edited 1 hour ago by AinsleyWalker Quote

No mate, I meant it's absolutely an opinion 😂 I was agreeing with your statement.... Having a rough morning? "and the "I'd say" confirms it as opinion." No it doesn't, it means that it's the truth as far as my knowledge extends. I am a fallible human with a limited brain capacity, after all. Please feel free to educate me and tell my why I'm wrong instead of being facetious ☺️ Edited 1 hour ago by AinsleyWalker Quote
