I have it. A lot of the time I don't notice it, but it is always there. When I'm particularly stressed it can get pretty bad which makes a kind of feedback loop with my stress levels.

Do you use your “best” bass on gigs?
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to dclaassen's topic in Bass Guitars
I'm not sure which of my basses is 'the best' but I tend to take a couple of my JMJ mustangs to gigs as they sound great, are easy & comfy to play, and I probably wouldn't notice if they picked up a ding or two. My Ric 4003 and Gibson non-reverse thunderbird would probably be considered better basses by some, but I'd be gutted to get either one dinged. -

Phew! Just made it in time. The playing and mix are a bit rough but it's kind of pop punk so I'm not too bothered. This is 'Aliens in the sky' by Jinky Fuzz. The bass is one of my daphne blue Fender JMJ mustang basses and there are two guitars - my Pelham blue Harley Benton DC-Junior FAT which has tone knob pulled out to put the single stacked P90 in humbucker mode, and my black Fender Telecaster custom switched to the wide-range humbucker pickup in the neck position. Both guitars were recorded from the usb output of my Fender GTX100 amp using a patch emulating a mesa/boogie IIc+ with a Boss DS-1. The organ is my Yamaha Reface YC. All the processing etc used logic's stock plugins.

Anybody got a non-reverse Gibson Thunderbird..?
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to HeadlessBassist's topic in Bass Guitars
I have a pelham blue one. I have cobalt flats on mine and play 100% fingerstyle. Happy to answer any questions but too busy with a fast approaching deadline to do a vid at the moment. -
I now have a bunch of 0.047uF capacitors so I can build a new loom for my mini p-bass. I went for 400v metallised polyester film. As these are a darker colour than the orange drops I have used in other builds I wonder whether they'll sound any darker?

According to the AI thing google answers queries with now: A capacitor labeled "473k" has a value of 0.047 microfarads (µF), which is also equal to 47 nanofarads (nF) or 47,000 picofarads (pF). The "473" part of the code indicates the significant figures (47) and the multiplier (3, meaning 10^3 or 1000), while the "k" denotes a tolerance of ±10%

I played through one more than once. It wasn't rubbish — it was much worse than that.

Actually my bad, I only think in pedal measures and 400v would be ridiculous there. I had to read your entry again
