You might want to have a look at sweep frequency generators - these generate a single variable frequency sweeping typically from 20Hz to 20kHz, and so you can get a frequency response by mapping amplitude against frequency.

That's a word to add to my vocabulary, although I suspect I'll never have cause to use it.

An old friend of mine had a Capri that he was very proud of. He was sitting at some traffic lights when a tatty brown Moggy van pulled up alongside him. He decided to take on the challenge and was promptly left in the dust, and later found out that under the Moggy's bonnet was a V8 Chevy engine.

Wozzit Weigh? In pursuit of a definitive thread (Fender jazz edition)
tauzero replied to LawrenceH's topic in Bass Guitars
My brother worked as a kennel boy while he was a student. He told me that one of the tricks of the trade was to stick a matchstick up the dog's bum just before taking them out to the parade so as to stimulate their desire to reduce their weight. -

SR5N necks (22 fret, 42mm nut, to fit EB SR5) £480

I came up with the same number as you did, none. -
I have in the past dismantled a GK 200MB combo, and the speaker wires on that are really thin - what I would think of as flexible hookup wire. And GK probably know what they're doing (although personally I wouldn't go for anything that thin, I use whatever spare mains lead is knocking around).

You can get colour matching wax filler that you melt into the holes, like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325271292000. I used it when I was drilling new pickup screw holes on a bass and carelessly went right through, and the repair is completely invisible.

Hope Mrs WIB fully recovers soon. As a goodly proportion of the BC membership have female partners and/or are female themselves, it would be worth bearing in mind that the symptoms of heart attack in females have some differences to those in males. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/321528#symptoms

I happen to have an Ibanez SRF705. Nut 45mm. Just looked at the specs for several 5-string Ibanez SR models, consistently 45mm. Yamaha TRBX500 43mm. ESP LTD B-205 45mm. Schecter Stiletto Stealth-5 45mm. Sire Marcus Miller V5 46mm. So AI is bollocks. -

What basses have 42mm nuts, so I can see if it would suit me? EBMM Stingray 5 is 44.5mm so not them. -

Why? All that Hooky said about Ian Curtis was that he died - in fact, IIRC, he said that they lost him. Ditto Nate Mendel about Taylor Hawkins. -
The Positive Grid. I don't use the others since getting that.

Just want to check - is it definitely a 42mm nut, not a 44.5 or 45? -

Second time we've played at the Crown in Rugeley. Parking is a bit dodgy, and our singer had to get from Worcester up the M6 on a Friday evening so he was a bit late. It's rather cramped there but we squeezed in a bit better than last time. That's just before we started, when the singer broke his first string of the night (final score: three). Audience reaction was the same as the first time we played here - we'd be playing a song, there would be quite a few people reacting to it or singing along, then at the end of the song absolutely no applause (apart from drummer's wife and guitarist's girlfriend). And no calls for more at the end, and we're not one of those bands who insist on playing the encores, so we didn't. Everyone was very friendly though, and one of the bouncers was very complimentary. A little incident did occur - towards the end of the second set, nearing the end of a song, I noticed a woman at the back of the room (which wasn't very far away) in some sort of physical distress, and the man she was with got an inhaler out for her. Our guitarist's girlfriend is a nurse and I was going to point her at the woman, but she noticed her just as we reached the end of the song and went over to check on her. Apparently she reeked of fags and had had a fair bit to drink, so she rather brought it on herself (I think it's reasonably clear which "she" is which). Edit to add: Sei Flamboyant 5 -> M-Vave wireless -> Zoom MS-60B+ -> Tecamp Puma 900 -> GR Bass AT212, Caravelle memory foam trainers (and thermal non-slip socks).
