  1. Perceived tone will change with a volume change, that's just in the physiological functioning of human ears. I realise, of course, that some musicians do not seem to have human ears (or, at least, human hearing...). There is no 'magic bullet' that compensates 'automatically' to keep it all 'as one wants it'; some adjustment around the original change is most often required, or acceptance that it's changed, and it's fine. (Disclaimer : I'm a drummer, so what would I know ..?)
  2. I tried other browsers, no dice. Maybe a regional thing; the French are to be kept in the dark over this product. Hmm...

    Ah, OK. Well then ... Klipsch 'The Fives' ... ... or ... M-Audio Forty-Eighty ...
  4. Duff link, I think..?

    Are you sure you don't mean 'HS8'..? 'NS8' existed, long ago, as mid-range HiFi, but are not at all 'bookshelf'... ...compared to Yamaha HS8 ...
  7. @Happy Jack...
  8. I tidy cales away using the 'figure of eight' method; I finish by lifting it up from each side (left and right...), and put a Velcro band around it to keep it as a loop. No tangles, no twists. Works with all types of cables, and garden hoses. Hope this helps.
  9. A test piece to check that your Stanley knife can still cut cardboard..?
  10. Hofner have been making concert-quality violins, cellos etc for decades; I don't know what change is expected there. Gibson gave up on the 335 (poor sales...) but made a mint when the fashion changed, and now they are a key product 'with the Epiphone versions selling well, too...). We don't know what financial issues Hofner may or may not have, nor how to fix these; maybe it's time for a change, but maybe they'd be better off sticking to what they do best..? Speculation, all off it. Disclaimer : I have many Hofner guitars and basses, (mostly vintage...), and find them to be excellent for my style and tastes. None of them come anywhere near the description 'boat anchor'. I do not (nor can I ...) play 'slap' bass, nor punk rock. Chord-melody is more 'my thing', and noodling. Peace.
  11. Why..? I don't understand this perpetual need for 'change'. If it's Good, it's Good. New stuff, old stuff... Nothing needs to be 'changed' just for 'changes' sake, does it..?
  12. Hofner make excellent instruments, and not just basses.
  13. Was this sold as 'book-matched' in the description, or just 'figured'..?
  14. Cut a suitable pick-guard (scratch plate...) to shape; black, maybe. It'll hide any mis-match. Problem solved.
  15. Wikipedia has an exhaustive article on 9v batteries ... Wikipedia : 9v Batteries ... ... in which we learn that alcaline PP3's have much longer life (ma/h...) compared to NiMH. Lithium can last much longer yet, but will cost ten times more per battery. I would suggest that you invest in a battery tester, and test your alcalines before playing, so as not to change before it's necessary, and to include the cost of battery replacement as an inevitable cost of playing. Lithium batteries of the right type will mean changing less often, but at a much higher price. Your call, of course... Hope this helps.
  16. Maybe you're using BC from an odd device, but on any ordinary browser, it's easy enough to edit one's own posts and delete any text, links or images there. Any images uploaded will remain, but these, too, can be listed and, if required, deleted, from one's 'My Attachments' page. This can be found by hovering the cursor over your avatar, top right, and selecting 'My Attachments'. From there one may tick the box on the right of each attachment to be deleted, and delete all those ticked in one go. Does this not cover your case..?
  17. No problem with this; I agree. When I see something 'recommended' by others, I'm sometimes inquisitive enough to have a look, and sometimes I come across some Good Stuff. It still amazes me, however, just how much is Out There that, if one was to put it into a novel or TV story line, would be thought of as too improbable, or too tacky, or just plain ol' nonsense, to be credible. A sign, amongst many, of fast-approaching old age, senility and decrepitude, no doubt; maybe I'm just unlucky in the choices I make when deciding to look at New (to me...) Stuff. No problem, the World spins on. T'is, however, a funny ol' World. Peace.
  18. It's not that I seem to be on a different planet, but rather there seem to be soooooo many planets that I'm not on. As I seem to write more and more : It's a funny ol' world.
  19. Can we see the sources of the figures given..? That's an awful lot of energy (approximately...). Please..?
  20. One day I will understand, but that day is not today.
