Testing/recording cabs 115 112 210 212... all things being equal
tauzero replied to warwickhunt's topic in Amps and Cabs
If you can't, it's very easy in Audacity. File | Import | Audio to import an audio file Select | All (or Ctrl-A) to select the entire track Effect | Volume and Compression | Normalize to normalise it File | Export Audio to export the normalised file -
An odd little bass quest, and opinions needed from BC
tauzero replied to TRBboy's topic in Bass Guitars
I suspect the latter. At least it would be well-nigh impossible to relic it.- 44 replies

I've ordered some non-spray Murphy's soap for use on my defretted 2000 Thumb as the body has always seemed rather dull, despite applying Warwick lemony stuff to it and rubbing vigorously.

How many songs for the next rehearsal is realistic?
tauzero replied to Jamesemt's topic in General Discussion
Was the next one "When doves cry"? We've got enough songs for two sets plus maybe another 10 songs so we're not under any pressure to bring more in, we just like to learn new stuff. We generally have three or four being brought on at any one time - we'll decide what to do, run through them at the next rehearsal to make sure we're OK with them and think they'll work, and to work out endings, then run through them again at the following rehearsal to get them firmly in place. -
Wonderful playing.

Bright - rather trebly. Woolly - somewhat indistinct. Dark - sinister and malevolent.

40th Anniversary Precision £259 at Thomann!
tauzero replied to Frank n funker's topic in Bass Guitars
Indeed. Some people actually find singlecuts attractive. -
Although I'm mainly prog, I do like a bit of glam too. Alice Cooper - Love It to Death. Hallowed be my name Second Coming Ballad of Dwight Fry

It's got a humber pickup but not a humber bridge.

Presumably that's why you advocate using nothing.

Fitting Passive Switch and Circuit to Ibanez SRMD 200
tauzero replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
Why cloth covered wire? Also, you don't need to replace the jack socket if you go passive, just leave ring unconnected or connect it to sleeve. -
Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2023?
tauzero replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
They're pioneering a new form of short scale. -
One email list I'm on just puts a name in the email subject, nothing else, to signify that they've snuffed it. This has led to me having the occasional double take in BC when some bassist's name is the subject of a topic. Still, I wouldn't worry too much about lacking empathy, as Annie Nightingale probably isn't reading BC.

Fitting Passive Switch and Circuit to Ibanez SRMD 200
tauzero replied to Obrienp's topic in Repairs and Technical
You might not find it easy to get a stacked log and lin pot, which is what you'd need for stacked vol/tone. -
Just what the world needs - another Fender clone.

You might consider a multieffects pedal that can handle both guitar and bass. Don't bother with an amp.

Did I just buy a knockoff Hipshot Tuner
tauzero replied to mationdude's topic in Repairs and Technical
The licensed ones appear to have "Hipshot" on them, although Hipshot may have been lazy and used photos of their own products to illustrate the licensed ones.- 13 replies

Severely Cracked finish on a 1975 Olympic White Precision
tauzero replied to Bassman78's topic in Repairs and Technical
Although if they reply telling you all their employees who worked in the paint shop 50 years ago are dead, you should take precautions when removing the paint, such as not eating it. -
The Millenium (yes, they can't spell) kits sold by Thomann get pretty good reviews. I'm tempted myself, except a) I can't play and 2) I haven't got any room whatsoever for one.

It can trigger sounds off USB synth modules (for instance, at the cheaper end, https://www.midiplus.com.tw/en/product-detail/miniEngineUSB/ [1]), and off standard MIDI modules/keyboards if you have a MIDI host to USB interface (I built one for about £20).

Testing/recording cabs 115 112 210 212... all things being equal
tauzero replied to warwickhunt's topic in Amps and Cabs
Don't cross the streams. As volume does change perception, perhaps make recordings with gain and volume set identically for each cab, and then import each recording into Audacity and use the Normalize function to get them all to the same volume. Then use both sets of recordings, with explanations, for listening tests. -
Another one just remembered. In Hi Ho Silver Lining, I heard "Flies are in your pea soup baby, they're waving at me" as "Flattering your features baby, then way beneath", which makes at least as much sense as the original.

No lightweight but what a bargain (currently)
tauzero replied to TheGreek's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Just hope their car has adequate suspension, and that it's for permanent installation. -
It appears that three people have seen something in it that none of us has, it's up to £26. That's surely at least £26 more than it's worth. Is there some incredibly valuable component that we've all overlooked?

A real shame. I hadn't realised how old she was - 83 when she reached the runoff groove.
