I would say that sens is sensitivity and affects the threshold that you trigger the auto-wah at, and if it's not sensitive enough when on max it will be one or more of the R4-R5-R6 network that needs changing, and range will control how much it wahs. D2 seems to be to indicate when the auto is autoing. It's confusingly labelled as it has D1 as a 1N4148 and D2 & D3 as red LEDs, but the circuit diagram shows D1 and D2 as LEDs and D3 as a plain ordinary diode. Can't work out what R5 and D1 are doing as I would have expected something to pull the voltage of the non-inverting input of IC1A to midway between +9V and 0V (like R9 & R10 do for IC1B) but if D1 was a 1N4148 then the non-inverting input would be pulled to 0.6V, while if it was a red LED it would be pulled to 2.2V or so.

In fairness, there was an improvement a couple of years ago, when the second-hand basses started to be categorised by number of strings and price range. There's some small things - like the fact that the "Bass guitars | Amplification | Effects | Accessories" menu line is still shown when you go into any of the categories except "Bass guitars", and it also disappears if you drill down to a manufacturer. Having a consistent header and menu structure (banner header, the four sales categories, and a dropdown on each of those categories containing what the sidebar does now) means that the page content could be unchanged but the way of getting to it would be improved. I suspect Mark would have to change website generator though, as he's using the final version of iWeb which came out in 2011.

I got an email from someone purporting to be representing someone whose copyright we had infringed with an image on the website. It didn't specify which image or define the copyright holder and the email address it came from bounced when I asked for further details. I haven't changed anything and haven't had any further contact from them.

Songwriters gonna songwrite (and lawyers gonna lawy)

Badgers gonna badge, surely. And butchers gonna butch. -
A friend of mine, also a motorcyclist, has posted a few photos on Facebook of him and his Itacud.

IIRC, Thumper got chucked off Finnbass because of his Brexit views.

Or to ensure that all his music is available on pirate torrent sites. Hmmm, 27 pages of Clapton on Pirate Bay. I wonder if he'll be trying to eliminate them next.

To expand a bit, as well as the feel, I preferred the tone from roundwounds (I did mention I like the sound of roundwounds but I didn't say I preferred them to flats - I do). So expending time on an exercise that wouldn't bring any benefits (for me) seemed pointless.
-
Why bother?
-
A big consideration for me is feel. I mainly play fretless, and I've tried flats, but I find that with the reduced friction that any time I slide, I'm liable to miss my endpoint or get the speed of the slide wrong. Plus I like the sound of rounds.

I put mine on its feet too. This would be more useful for my 6-string non-cricket-bat headless which has the tuners protruding beyond the end of the body except that there's only room for four tuners (the 6-string sits happily on a normal cradle) or the MihaDo wing bass except that the neck rest wouldn't work, and my cricket bat bass is a B2VA 5-string so again there's not enough room for the tuners. At some point, I will perfect a modification to the Hercules wall hanger to enable headless basses to be used with it.

That's something that annoys me about lined fretlesses. If you just want stick-on fret markers, searching for "fret marker" on That Ebay will find you lots. For glow-in-the-dark ones, either look for Fretlord Glow Dotz (looks like that would be from the USA) or search for "glow in the dark" on That Ebay, buy some stickers, and cut them up to your requirements.

It is distinctly function over form and could do with some improvement. At least it's not so stuck in the 1990s that it has "Click to enter" on the home page <points the finger of shame at Status Graphite>.

Prog rock: Any bass (Rickenbacker, Jazz, Precision, Warwick, Musicman, Yamaha, Cort all used by industry-standard bassists with apologies for any omissions) Any amp (see above) Any effects (including none) Sometimes a Moog Taurus or derivative

Waiting in the sky?

That's all fine and dandy until somebody loses an eye.

That's a shame. I was still on it - it had rather petered out though. A few years a go it was thriving. Went for a drink with Steve a little while back when I was holidaying in Cornwall - nice chap. I was too new to Basschat to know about the fight that caused Finnbass to come into being, there were occasional references to it but I never found the full details.

Led Zep have had a few claims against them, although they seem to have got away with some of their thefts. https://liveforlivemusic.com/features/just-how-much-of-led-zeppelins-music-was-stolen/ They did nick rather more than a three word phrase though. -

We should take a helicopter view of the synergy before deep diving it and seeing if we can leverage it. And just an 8-ounce, medium, please. -
Read the article that the OP refers to. https://mixmag.net/amp/spotify-daniel-ek-ai-defence-investment-criticism That might make you understand a little more. The thread title is misleading.

No it doesn't. That's an incredibly simplistic viewpoint to take. AI has plenty of applications, including defending against software attacks and performing software attacks in turn. The principal drivers for technology advances are military and pornography.

It appears that the first known use was in the song written by the ones doing the suing. However, after its first use, I'm sure there would have been quite a few uses before Taylor Swift used it. -
I use a dirt cheap one for rehearsals and some gigs, and I've got a Smoothhound on the little pedal board and a Line 6 G50 on the big one. All seem fine as regards sound. The dirt cheap one is handy as it's USB rechargeable so doesn't need a 9V supply.

I'm not quite sure that everybody replying to this has quite grasped it - Ms Swift is the suee, not the suer (sewer?).
