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

Good evening, LD, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. I, too, am a Grandad, and am still learning each and every day. It's true, it's never too late, but that's no reason for waiting around. Whatever it is, just do it..!

Good evening, Karl, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. Ah, the Casady bass; it's on my 'bucket' list (and I'd better get cracking on shortening that..! )

[Terry Bozzio] Yes, I insisted on having three mics for every part of the kit, but all I got was this stinking single overhead..! What; aren't I good enough or something..? [/Terry Bozzio]

While being pertinent, one could also argue that a listener, 'live' to the set does not have this luxury of fine balance between the elements of the kit. It's the sum that's heard. An equivalent could be having individual pole piece adjustment on a bass pick-up; some use a single bar magnet, which works well, too. It all depends on the result looked for. Personally, and excepting specific needs, I find that the whole kit is balanced enough (cymbals included...), helped along by the playing techniques adopted. If I want a crash to be a bit louder, I hit it differently. Problem solved (most of the time...). I'd use separate mics if I want, for instance, specific treatment (Flanger on the cymbals..? Delay on the snare..? etc...); otherwise a simulation of what someone in the audience would hear is my basic goal. The bass drum mic is only there, for example, because the overheads won't pick it up enough. Even then, a solo mic further out can do that job, too. It all depends...

Ah, I see. Not just the dimensions, then. Would this work..? Find a piece of wood slightly higher than the bridge. Slacken the strings a little, just enough to (carefully...) slide this piece under (pivot it, then put it upright to support the strings...), then remove the bridge. Any mileage..?

You're doing this deliberately, aren't you..? It's a plot; I'm sure it's a plot. Resist... Resist... I must resist...

This may enlighten, then..? Good Stuff, I say; brings back many happy memories (you had to be there..! )

Good evening, MG, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. (... but you knew that anyway, didn't you..! )

Cheers, I've just ordered the Ozone Elements, which will probably suffice for pretty well all my needs, without upgrading. Still, one never knows... I had a previous version (probably cracked or summit...), but lost it; it worked very well, the little I used it back then. I should really stay away from this topic, though; it can lead to more VAS (Vst Acquisition Syndrome...) than my bank would be pleased with.

This'll get you close...

+1 to this ^^ That's our standard micing-up configuration, for 'live' or most 'studio' stuff. Anything else must have a pretty good reason to be worth the hassle (and often less convincing results...).

? ? ? Why would you need to take the strings off to measure it..?

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

What..? I've posted nothing here yet..!

Rock on, Rock-Wire..!

Depends what's been asked for.
