    By finding a good chiropractor, ideally

    Was quite taken with this for a while when I started out (owned by a TB moderator)

    I'm still a bit sad I had to move my 5 string double bass on, but the reality is I don't have the time and space needed for it so it's better with someone who can use it.

    It's generally referred to as "not fretting cleanly" I think 😬 — beginner lessons always emphasise fretting behind the fret to avoid it. (As ever, if it works for you, go nuts)
  5. velvetkevorkian
    Absolutely this, unless you can be 100% confident they'll treat it as well as you would (spoiler: they won't).

    The A/D/G gauges here seem like you're tuning a BEAD set down?
  7. velvetkevorkian
    IME this is probably because they've adjusted to the regular position without realising how much twist that introduces -- straightening it out back feels like twisting the opposite way, rather than being ~neutral.

    I started using classical position relatively recently, to help combat my poor posture that was leading to back/knee pain -- it lets me keep my back straighter (when I'm mindful of it). For me it's actually closer to how my basses hang on a strap, as you say it's definitely easier to play in the higher registers.

    Yep, bare-bones...
  10. velvetkevorkian
    Nice, is the image printed directly on to the plate?
  11. velvetkevorkian
    I have an SSL2, I'm pretty sure the control panel is very bare-bones, no EQ other than the "vintage warmth" emulation on the preamps.
  12. velvetkevorkian
    Super clean playing and nice tone to my ear ( I do like a darker sound so this may well be a matter of taste) -- sounds like "tube warmth" to me through my monitors and through my MBP's speakers.
  13. velvetkevorkian
    More interfaces should have a "more dread" toggle imho
  14. velvetkevorkian
    The figured maple tops look uniformly lush -- very nice.

    As a confirmed "as low as it can go" fiend, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and learn how to do a proper fret dress one of these days...

    Yeah -- refers to leaving the wah pedal active without sweeping it

    Flub usually seems like a feature for most doom acts...

    Superb playing @Steve Woodcock, very much enjoying this.
  20. velvetkevorkian
    Not played the basses but my old teacher used to say his Blade was the best strat he'd ever played

    This one on Reverb is the only Maverick bass I can recall ever seeing second hand 😕 https://reverb.com/uk/item/62653867-maverick-s5-2003-bass-guitar
  22. velvetkevorkian
    Was this the kind of Jackson Kelly style one?
  23. velvetkevorkian
    Brand new and unused. Was given this to go in an old machine, never got round to it now I don't have any PCI slots. Collect in Glasgow or £5 postage.
  24. velvetkevorkian
    If it happens more playing fingerstyle I'd imagine you're pushing the strings down into the frets rather than parallel to them. Try adjusting the angle your fingers hit the string at and see if that helps?
  25. velvetkevorkian
    I suspect this is just a peril of positioning yourself at the bottom of the market (which Zoom did for a long time) -- when I had a Zoom 506 many years ago they were quite obviously what you got when you couldn't afford one of the Boss units. A lot of people will still internalise that heirarchy regardless of current quality.
