I may be able to supply further evidence (not for Mixing Station but for the X-Air app on Android). When I installed it on one tablet, I omitted to give it write permissions to the filesystem. While I could save scenes and snapshots, whenever I tried to store an amended layout (Layers option), it crashed out. Very frustrating until I worked out what I'd done (or not done). So scenes are written to the mixer, as are all the settings from when you last switched it off, and layouts to the local storage.

It is easy. You also won't put a twist in the string. DBEs are even easier as you don't have to cut the strings, but the bass has to be the right scale length (in fairness, basses with DBE headstocks will be the right scale length).

A Tale of International Shipping

Just wait a couple of months, Trump will get rid of all protection and there will be a roaring trade in MOP and ivory. -
How was your open mic or jam night last night?
tauzero replied to tauzero's topic in General Discussion
Tuesday night - Cavern Club in Tamworth. Duties as house bassist consisted of accompanying mine host at the beginning and end of the night, and trying to jam "You give love a bad name" (I got 2/3 of the chords right). There's definite hope for the future - the girl singing said Bon Jovi song is 12, and there was another 12 year old girl singing, both with good voices, the teenage guitarist doing Bon Jovi is also a good singer and got another couple of teenage/early 20s girls up to sing. Mrs Zero and I recycled the film songs (Ring of Bright Water, Mad World, Hanging Tree). Last night - accompanied various people. Cocked up accompanying on "Flowers" by Miley Cyrus, everything else went OK. Did "Kiss from a Rose" and "Sleeping Satellite" with Mrs Zero - I can never fingerpick the intro and bridge parts to "Kiss" cleanly but she insisted. -
Vintage 1980s bass collection SG Nanyo SB301 FRETLESS
tauzero replied to eubassix's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
I had one, just checked my pictures of it which are a bit dark but the bridge on mine is a smaller footprint (about half the distance front to back), it's got drop-in slots rather than holes for the strings, and the saddles are different. -
Are we reading the same advert? There's a list of new parts plus a very brief description of the playability and condition.

I started a fretless conversion some years ago and am coming towards the end now. Main problem was not filling the lots properly - that's what I am finally getting round to sorting by putting a little epoxy resin in. Whoever did the defret on my recently acquired Squier did an excellent job. It's a maple fretboard, and close up you can see the serrations along the edges of the fret slots (they're filled with a black filler so the fret lines are visible), but there's no tearing and the binding is fine.

My big regret is that I didn't start learning that there were other basses out there until the late 80s when I was 30. I'd thought Fender was the pinnacle, then I encountered Warwick, then it took quite a while before I discovered much else - I think that after buying the JD Thumb I thought that was the ultimate bass (4-string wise, it still is, in my eyes) and didn't explore anything else until deciding to have a proper go at 5-string, which was around 2007. And so the collection began...

And?

I've been wondering whether the Palestinians will make any overtures to China (after all, everybody else has let them down).

I was wrong about this. I had powered up the Stomp successfully so I assumed it was working, as on previous occasions when it had insufficient power it went into a startup loop, flashing up the splash screen then shutting down and restarting. This time, it went all the way through and responded to button presses, and to HX Edit. However, I hadn't been putting a signal through it. When I did, although it kept showing on the screen and responding to HX Edit, it neither made a noise nor responded on the tuner. Switching to the standard power supply, it did work. I can't find my current sharing lead so I've ordered a 5.5/2.1 to 5.5/2.5 adaptor and I'll use a daisy chain lead to current share, and see if that encourages it into life. Edit: just to emphasise that the Stomp is a massive current drain. Very few pedals will require that sort of power. Don't be discouraged from using this for a "normal" pedalboard.

I think they're Wilkinson M-series pickups, which are licensed - I've bought one myself which I'm going to try in a Ray5. https://wilkinsondirect.com/m-series/

When is Politics Not Politics?

If buying second hand from a private seller in the EU, you're paying 20% more than you would have paid BB. -
When is Politics Not Politics?
tauzero replied to Chienmortbb's question in Site Issues and Questions
It's not at all political to say that things changed between Before Brexit and After Brexit. Whether blue passports outweigh 4% of GDP - that's political. -
In the case of the second picture in the OP, they can even merge.

It ain't bad.

I was thinking of doing this to my Cort Space. Finished up putting copper washers in to replace the plastic ones which didn't make a lot of difference but this looks like a good alternative. Tension on a bass string is about 20kg (says D'Addario) which I assume means around 200N, and they're good up to 580N, so should survive.

Couldn't you just move the baffle back a bit?

TC BAM200 is quiet. The original Tecamp Puma 900 doesn't have a fan.

I got a minute in before I started feeling too seasick to continue.

There's just four notes in it: D (5th fret A string), C (3rd fret A string), G, and bottom D. Stays on D in the verse, then D C G in the chorus. You could get away without the bottom D - as Dad says, you'd want a 5-string bass (or 4-string tuned BEAD) or tune the bottom string down to D. If you do want to include the bottom Ds, you need to have a good listen to see where they come in.

If there was a cease and desist, it would have been the other way as the Boss came out first (or at least that's what this article says). And it also says that Fender bought up the entire supply of the required chip, hence the redesign.

I've tried a few times but I just can't stand the vocals. Pinky and Perky do prog.

Charvel are full-on FSO makers. Jackson may be rather too linked with droopy headstocks. Start again without legacy baggage.
