Good Stuff ^^ ... That's exactly how I go about playing 'free-style' when I'm not playing covers or such, or just chilling out, with 'empty' rhythms that correspond to stuff only I can hear in my imagination. Up the tempo a little, change the accent, throw in a fill or 'falling down stairs' drum lick, cool it down and start again... I get lost when playing (drums, stoopid... ) by myself; it can go on for quite a while until I suddenly find that I've forgotten to 'breath' again, and have to stop for a rest, exhilarated but exhausted. Good Stuff...

String..?

'Report' the post concerned, asking for it to be removed, and one or other of the great Mods here will oblige, hiding the offending post as I have just done. No need to thank me.

A real Gibson would have been in much smaller pieces. (The video tells what it was, right at the end... )

One can go quite a long way down the 'alternative materials' route. I have a set of these; they're environmentally friendly, and very good indeed... Aerodrums ...

It looks like a reasonable solution to your issue, and won't cost a fortune to try out, at least. As long as you can live with an umbilical cord, it looks to be sound. Not yet available, I see, so some patience, unless there are other, similar product already in use..? Please update with your decision and experience, either with this or any other product..?

Good evening, Phil, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

The 'Report' option still works; I use it often enough. Just sayin'.

Fixed.

Good evening, )Mick, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good afternoon, Charwood81, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Sorry to hear of your loss.

6-string fretless straight into Hiwatt DR205, all eq at 12h00, into HH 2x15 cab. Clip-on tuner, as being in tune is more important than having a good tone (which we have, in spades...). Oh, and a decent pair of ears, too, but that goes without saying, I suppose.

A 2 ' square of 1" thick ply with biggish castors in the corners. A slot near one edge for picking it up.

Good afternoon, Claptonite, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Looks clear enough to me. They want a bass player to add bass parts to their compositions. (... and I've seen stranger combinations of taste. For myself, I'd cite Sibelius, Joe Morello and Grateful Dead, for instance, plus a dozen more ...)

Only three..? You've been short-changed there, I'd say.

From the Wiki on the bloke... Franz Simandl (August 1, 1840 – December 15, 1912) was a double-bassist and pedagogue most remembered for his book New Method for the Double Bass, known as the Simandl book, which is to this day used as a standard study of double bass technique and hand positions.[1] His approach uses the first, second, and fourth fingers of the left hand (the third and fourth operating together as one digit) for stopping the strings in the lower register of the instrument and divides the fingerboard into various positions. ...

Yes, that's how I play football. ... I don't often get picked to join a team, though.

Worth thumbing through; Good Stuff ...

Good Stuff, thanks. Who was it who said 'Less is more'..? No-one told JC that, thank goodness..!

OK, I'll bow to all that, in such a context. I've no issue with a 'pro' studio set-up; the 'diminishing returns' make it largely impracticable for Humans, though, especially in a domestic environment. I'm much more deaf than any of that, anyway, at my age, so...

True, and excellent. I posted the playlist for the whole album, so that'd follow 'Clergy', then 'Somebody To Love', Fat Angel' etc... Great Stuff, however one accesses it, though.

I took it to read as a lack of linearity rather than dead silence under the 40Hz threshold. It's audible (on good systems...), but does it have to be that flat, was my concern. Any dross will be heard, but slightly attenuated. Is there that much going on that it needs to be linear down to 20Hz (or lower...)..? If the stuff down there is that bad it'll be heard, won't it..?
