Yep, steaming turd to a shining diamond on the other side

I’ve had this in the past, and a cheap Palmer power conditioner stopped it dead. https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Palmer-MI-PURIFIER-Power-Conditioner/1PT8?gclid=Cj0KCQiAys2MBhDOARIsAFf1D1fFq-93h5rrDJCrPrWXzZkR0m3EeKQVclzJPFPc7a2F7ydf2xK8eVMaAsgMEALw_wcB

I have a Jazz with rounds for my work with an 80s/90s party band, a P with tapewounds for study (cheaper than playing rounds all the time, and less taxing on my wrists), a fretless Jazz with coated Roto Nexus) for ‘me’

Well, there’s about twice the amount of chrome on there that there should be.

I thought hockey season started later?

Broke 2 strings?!? that’s twice as many as I’ve broken in over 30 years of playing, I’m afraid it would have been a ‘no’ from me.

Tape wounds are AMAZING for dub/reggae - I’ve just fitted a set of Rotosound Trubass to my P and the low end is immense!

Microphone placement. Unless I’m mistaken that’s a double bass.

No, but collectors of a certain age will buy one to hang on a wall.

That’s tragic. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sty hamm for me. I can fully appreciate that he’s a hell of a player with some serious chops in his arsenal, but it just doesn’t have any ‘heft’ -almost like it’s not a bass.

…for Adam Clayton

It’s a toss-up between cutting through in a mix m, and the big muff sound ; it’s called a big muff because it was originally thought to sound like a muffled speaker I.e. mid scoop. Do yourself a favour and get a coloursound bass fuzz. Problem solved.

Warehouse floor mate. I’m just a grunt!

I've worked for Amazon for just over 4 years, and I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen any of this. 1) Hourly rates have always been well above MW 2) Temporary workers are on temporary contracts -minimum of 40 hours p/w 3) P*ssing in bottles to meet targets? You've got us confused with truck drivers - it's called 'driver tizer' for a reason. I agree that they do need to get their house in order as regards paying taxes, but that's our governments allowing them to get away with it, they're just exploiting an already crooked system.

Thais is unimaginably horrific, best wishes and healing vibes going N’s way. 😢

Rusty cage - Soundgarden

Me too, but it is very 'moreish'...

y'know, he's a multi-instrumentalist too - looks like he'd give Geddy Lee a run for his money...

Dunno, it results in a much bigger build, so maybe. Solder joints are bigger , so more secure, but also solder joints are bigger, so increased resistance… I think it’s a nostalgia thing to be honest; I know people who build tube amps with tag board and they look amazing, but don’t sound any different. long term though, they’re easier to repair!

yeah, they're GNARLY!!!! Occasionally one will come up for sale on here, you could always place a 'Wanted' ad though.

OOF!! Proper tagboard and everything!

Idiotbox Blowerbox. Based on the Rat, but tuned for bass.

Yeppers - this is an AMAZING album!!!
