  1. And to back up our learned colleague, I once watched the Dan Erlewine DVD where he covered fret levelling and wasn't on the hard stewmac sell. He used a builders level with double sided tape and standard sandpaper trimmed to rough width with a scalpel or stanley knife after sticking. The one sheet length wasn't long enough to cover the surface of the level so he just butted the trimmed off piece right up to the first bit, stuck it on and trimmed to the same width. Worked a treat.
  2. tonetech do 3 different grits but finest is 320 grit edit: assuming you mean self adhesive rolls here...
  3. I would put decent money on the Roland Cube 30 running rings round one of these at £75 used... I don't understand the need for the wireless bells and whistles, which can in no way justify that price. Can't comment on PJB stuff other than the Bighead and the PJB headphones, which are both outstanding!
  4. It would need to be brilliant! £336 for a 40 watt amp?
  5. I knew what one you meant, but still not seeing it. Closer to the Fender Rumble v3 heads IMO, or the Peavey Minimax... or something Markbass. But I think it's a stretch to say they've copied the look of anything else - there are only so many ways you can arrange that number of controls on a small surface area like that.
  6. How very Paul Masvidal of you!

  8. I wonder what the thinking was behind that decision? Surely they don't see these as being the central part of a cheap "more me" IEM system? They're not the only such device to be configured this way. The rather awesome 3 Leaf Enabler was the same. I wonder what the current Darkglass Ultra offerings with cab sim and headphone out do? EDIT: Darkglass don't have an AUX in... genius...
  9. I will once again toot the horn for the Line 6 Studio 110... The Roland Cube 30 is also rather awesome!

    Bought a Hipshot Vintage bridge from Nick last week. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with him again. Top banana!
  11. So good I've owned 3!
  12. What? Maybe in the same way a Lada looks like a ferrari cos they've both got 4 wheels!
  13. What putty did you use good sir?
  14. I went one further than loosening strings when I recently shipped a bass to Denmark - neck off! Keeps size of the parcel down too. Not always possible, but I do it when I can. Fully insured UPS. Not cheap, but no issues that I've experienced.
  15. You mean like this:
  16. Tort!!!
  17. Try running it into a single channel and taking bridging out of the equation too.
  18. Look closer... Especially at the mismatch between the headstock wood and the neck wood. And the nut area. Like the way the strings coming from the headstock don't line up with the ones passing over the nut. Photoshop job.
  19. Not to point out the obvious, but you can measure whether it'll work for yourself: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1574/0577/files/5K500.PDF?8765090250675003951
  20. What a board!
  21. I've known many drummers worthy of such critique...
  22. Shovel drums? So he's rigged a shovel up as a midi controller. Sounds much more impressive than it actually is...
  23. It's only taken 11 pages... Different strokes for different folks I suppose! For a hard cutoff HPF like the Thumpinator, then 24dB is certainly more appropriate. For speaker sim 12dB is better, but might still be a little harsh for some applications.
  24. No not maximum attenuation. -12dB per Octave. Every time you drop an octave (half the frequency) you're another 12dB down. Take the example of a -12dB/Octave HPF with a cutoff frequency of 200Hz (obviously high for bass guitar use, but just for illustration). At 100Hz the filter is cutting 12dB, at 50Hz it's cutting 24dB, at 25Hz it's cutting 36dB, and so on.
