Surely G♯ A♯ B. Let's not encourage this mixing of sharps and flats. Although in Cm, I suppose that should really be A♭ B♭ C♭.

Could be an inspiration for @rwillett's next 3D printed bass.

It looks like the off-track action is going to be more exciting than the competition itself. Oh sorry, that's Formula 1. Complaints in from Bambie Thug about Israel's broadcaster, possibly the European Commission about the EBU banning the EU flag, and the Netherlands' Joost Klein possibly being prosecuted by Sweden, it's all great fun.

Have you not encountered Tim before?

I use a home-made BC micro cab for open mics, paired with a Tecamp Puma 900.
-
Have you got a multimeter, and can you check that 9v is actually getting to the preamp? Might be the jack socket (especially if it's a barrel jack) not making good contact between ring and sleeve.
-
Check the lead spacing, that's very important.

Do you think that https://www.amazon.co.uk/Duck-Strength-Double-Sided-Tape/dp/B095X9NZWK/ref=sr_1_6 would be an equivalent?

50’s p bass Pickup help needed pls
tauzero replied to dudewheresmybass's topic in Repairs and Technical
Couldn't you just use a thumb rest and stick it on with 3M VHB double sided tape? -
I think he's playing the Laurence Fox card. After all, white people are terribly underrepresented in Eurovision: https://eurovision.tv/event/malmo-2024/participants

I thought it was quite good.

You could have found out what music will be like when AI rules the world.

What's the bass/instrument you have had longest?
tauzero replied to Stub Mandrel's topic in General Discussion
I had the fretless version of that very bass - like you, the first 5-string (but the third fretless). -
I like that. Some extraordinary technical work, and some beautiful sensitive parts.
-
Or you have patch setting up time and practice time as two separate things.

Cult of Zoom MS-50G/MS-60B/MS-70CDR/G1(X)on/B1(X)on
tauzero replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Effects
Try switching the other effects off and checking that the chorus turns on and off, then switch the other effects on one by one and see what happens. -
Why not just get a set of really good stompboxes? The advantage of MFX like the Stomp is that you can select a particular emulation of each effect whereas with this, if (say) the chorus isn't what you want, that's just tough luck. If you're not using presets then you've done away with the only reason for using this and not separates.

What foot do you use to control your effects?
tauzero replied to Salt on your Bass?'s topic in Effects
I play sat down too, but stick to using my right foot (I'm right-handed) as I can only reliably control three limbs at once. -
Cult of Zoom MS-50G/MS-60B/MS-70CDR/G1(X)on/B1(X)on
tauzero replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Effects
It should switch the effect on and off - it does on all my MS pedals. Have you got two choruses in the patch? -
Or have a Sadowsky TescoExpress decal.

One band I was in did attempt some sort of split based on mileage and the fact that there were two couples and one singleton so there was shared transport. It was a right mess and as some gigs were our way and some gigs were the other way and some equidistant, we just decided it would all even up in the end.

Have you got a flat neck to start with? It sounds like you have a lot of relief in it unless I'm misinterpreting you. Basically, you have two shapes to consider here. There's the section between bridge and the neck fixings furthest away from it (the neck bolts closest to the unheadstock), and the very long thin triangle between those neck fixings and the nut. The height of the bridge at its lowest should correspond with the height of the neck and fretboard (so the strings would rest flat on the fretboard if the bridge height was minimised). The long thin triangle needs to be angled such that the strings would lie flat on the fretboard if you hold them down at the first fret. If you need to work out the thickness of a shim, you can do that by considering the positions of the shim S and the fixings about which the neck will effectively pivot P (the bolts furthest from the bridge if you're putting a shim in at the bridge end to lower the nut end, the bolts closest to the bridge if you're putting a shim in at the other end to raise the nut). Then given the nut position N, the ratio NP:PS is also the ratio of thickness of the shim to the height by which the nut is to move (similar triangles). I think, anyway, my own pure maths O-levels were over 50 years ago.
