Hi, I’m looking for a download link for an old version of GarageBand - my OS is High Sierra, and the only version on the Apple website is for 10.15 and above. Does anyone know of a download link for an old version that’s compatible with my ageing MacBook Pro? Usually I’d run Protools; but due to lockdown I’m working with new musicians who are all on GB and it would just be easier to import the project instead of getting the guys to export stems etc...

Good job we’re not discussing pedals.... (backs away, whistling nonchalantly....)

I’ve been playing for just under 30 years, and have had less than 10 basses. I still have 3 of them!

Looks like it would be easier to replace the drive knob with a smaller value logarithmic pot - that’ll also reduce the gain, and will give more control over lower drive settings.

Any of these: 12AX7 - gain of 100 12AT7 - gain of 60 12AU7 - gain of 20 because they’re preamp valves they don’t need biasing, and can literally be unplugged from their socket and replaced; they only fit in one way, so knock yourself out!

Look down the neck from the bridge end - if it t looks straight then it’s a case of lowering the saddles on the bridge, if the neck looks bowed then it’s going to need the truss rod tightening. could you post some pictures?

What a shame about the E andA strings at the headstock; a slightly longer head or zero fret would have made for beautiful straight lines.

Looks like a Sansamp/BDI21 clone. Is it?

Mmm, this is awkward...

Pearl scam.

Looks exactly like my ‘pedal drawer’ - they won’t all fit on my board. ☹️

Bass - effects - DHA VT1 - Power amp. Job done!

Bear in mind that the expression pedal hasn’t got any audio signal running through it, so there’s no signal degradation in whatever you use - whether it costs £17 or £170, it’s just a potentiometer, some connecting wire, and a pedal with a hinge.

I had a compact for a while, but honestly preferred an old TE 1153. Horses for courses though.

It’s probably not as easy, but increasing the value of the current limiting resistor that’s in series with the LED would make it dimmer.

Wow, that’s a really good job!!

We need to be careful about fish jokes -my friend’s dog fell overboard and got eaten by a shark. Porbeagle.

You may as well; if there was ever a plaice for fish puns, this is it. also, welcome Eloo

I’m not a fan. The SX I had years ago had the older headstock. I have a maple jazz neck on one of my bitsa basses at the moment, and I’ve toyed with making up some veneers to cover it up!

I think this fella would find a way to let you know who he was...

Please do, would love to know what it’s like.

I’ve got a Vintage (brand, not age) SG that plays beautifully. I’ve retro fitted a Bigsby style trem, and put coil-tappable humbuckers with push/pull pots to go between humbuckers and single coils. At its default setting it’s wired as a pair of single coils, and I find that I rarely bother with hunbuckers- it sounds great like that.
