Can you put another pickup in it? I would think a condensor mic would be impractical for live use, but it depends how close you are to your amp and how loud you get. I've done live gigs using an SM57 before when I forgot my battery and it sounded good.

I don't think it will feed any voltage down your input jack lead.

I paid $100 for some mics, and to be fair, they were worth more like $200. The numpty I bought them off thought he'd write $200 worth on the package! £36 in customs charges.

Rule of thumb for me: bass should cost no more than 1/10 of the cost of car; car should cost no more than 1/10 of the cost of the house.[/quote] Everytime you want to get a more expensive bass you force yourself to get a more expensive car? I like your lifestyle!

If there's no footswitch jack, you could add one very easily. I assume there are some pedals with an XLR output which can be powered by phantom power, but to power any normal pedals you would need to make a special adaptor - XLR to Jack AND Power plug.

Yeh, it's crazy! It's like some working cars are worth more as scrap than they are as working cars.

[quote name='alexclaber' post='452579' date='Apr 2 2009, 05:02 PM']Try it. Thicker strings have less midrange and treble so when adjusted to sound equally loud they will contain more lows. Then boost the lows and enharmonic notes get louder by a greater degree on thicker strings. Also if you adjust your pickups to get you the right balance at very low SPL it will not be right at very high SPL. All tied in with how poor human ears are at hearing lows. Alex[/quote] I did try it and obviously you are right! Very interesting, ta.

If so, turn it off.

[quote name='kennyrodg' post='452276' date='Apr 2 2009, 11:35 AM']Googled !! WTF [/quote] Lol!

Interesting. I can understand the increase in output for the thicker strings, but you were saying that if you boost the bass on an amp, then the thicker strings will be louder even when comparing them on the same note? I know there will be a variation in harmonic/tonal (whatever the term) content but surely not that noticable?

The Premature Ejaculators fell apart because the singer couldn't suck up his pride and take responsibility for his pissed-up actions. Very sad!

[quote name='alexclaber' post='452179' date='Apr 2 2009, 10:09 AM']Raise the pickups on the D&G side and lower them on the E&A side. Are you boosting the lows on your amp? Doing so can make the lower strings louder and thus mean you lose the higher strings. Alex[/quote] Even if he's playing the same pitch on each string?

That's really cool, nice one!

Holy thread revival Batman.

pass the lotion!

Yeh, nothing happened without pics.

I suggest an all day e-masturbatathon.

blue tack or insulation tape would stop your problem. I think there's the product you're after though, just google "two girls one cup".

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='452227' date='Apr 2 2009, 10:51 AM']As for starting my own thread, what would be the point? Shall I title it "I think GreeneKing was a bit snappy the other day, but apart from that seems like a decent fella"?[/quote] He meant start your own thread for mortgage advice. What's with you baby? Where's your bad boy streak!? His comment could be read as bitchy, or it could be read as funny. His comments after that clearly demonstrate frustration, but that could be down to the misinterpretation of his post, rather than the time it took for his to receive a satisfactory reply.

2 pedals 1 power supply.... I was expecting some sort of sick joke!

Well there is excellent rack-mounted equipment available, but if you're happy with what you've got you could put them inside your existing rack if you have one for your head, or you could make a small pedalboard to put behind you or ontop of your amp.

Can't you just put your pedals behind you right next to your amp? Lots of bassists do that.

[quote name='4000' post='449754' date='Mar 30 2009, 06:38 PM']Swimming (along with many of the exercises mentioned) actually aggravates many of my problems so be careful.[/quote] Apparently swimming can be really good or really bad depending on your swimming technique.
