    I think the Fishman helps a lot, I use mine on the suggested setting for double bass in the little booklet, I use mine with my mag pickup on my actual double bass rather than my EUB.

    I heard a lady talking about how they do it on radio 4 earlier, she says is takes a fully qualified signer around 30-40 hours to prepare for a show, just the main act the other problem being quite often the support act often isn't even announced until just before the show. Any genuine fans will know the words to the songs so maybe just a screen notifying the tracks would be good, this woman is just a Richard, She's not even into the band.

    It looks missing in that picture to me?
  4. stingrayPete1977
    Would you like them to make a better job of it than this one though?

    The nut slot cuts look both 'interesting'in their execution and much further apart on the G-D than the B-D?

    The small piece of nut next to the B string will last a few weeks at best with the B trying to pull to the side like that.

    I knew someone with one of these, I never worked out the reversed logo, is it so you can look at yourself in a mirror and pretend to be Jimi?

    I've said it before but if your songs need a specific bass sound to work live then you have bad songs.

    Well then... How was it?
  10. stingrayPete1977
    Awesome! I liked both.

    Now I was going to say Cort as 1 first but then you said the Ray was in series, that makes me think 2 is the Cort doing a very good Stingray impression and 1 is the ray in series, very cutting but lost a bit of the fatness that a parallel Ray would have had? I could happily gig either.

    Does it need to fit a genuine body pocket?

    Sounds like my cheap Stagg, looks nicely made.
  14. stingrayPete1977
    I like the look of that!

    Contrary to what I said in the driving thread I'd be happy to help out a band member in need. A drummer with a massive kit that can't drive because they enjoy drinking too much is different to one whose car is out of action.

    Correct dc provided by the batteries in the continuity tester, it does not give a reading of impedance. If the sticker on the back of a cab is missing or you have a selection of cabs you want to use like the OP you can take a continuity test across the proposed load to find the resistance, you'll need a lab to find it's impedance.

    If I test a speaker using a continuity tester I get a result of "resistance measured in ohms". It's a continuity test performed with DC voltage from a test instrument. Continuity is measured as resistance not impedance. Testing the terminals of a cab is not Testing impedance, that requires much more technical kit. So you either know the impedance as its given on the cab, or you have a lab to check or you know the 'resistance' measured in ohms, "the ohmage". You can then take "a guess at the impedance based on the resistance".

    Can we make Def Leppard jokes?
  19. stingrayPete1977
    So when you say "you can drive but don't" unless a gig comes up in that other country actually you can't drive, lol.

    I'm not really into wooden looking basses but I do like Wals.

    I'd be unlikely to even invite a non driving band member for an audition, but I'm not in a city and not are our gigs generally (ok Lichfield is technically a city, just).

    The only good thing is that a new set should sound just as dead and lifeless as a 16 year old set within two gigs
  24. stingrayPete1977
    Is it a parking eye or some such nonsense? Pop it in the bin if it is.

    It's not very often you see one pointing upwards
