A year or two ago I flew from Amsterdam to Stansted (iirc) for a straight trade: MM SR5 for Spector euro LX5. Brought my iPad and iRig for a quick test at the gate. Departed at breakfast, home in time for dinner.

Redacted my unrelated comment, it contributed nothing. Sorry

Try it live:

I dated Miss Representation once, she kept pointing out everything twice!

AEADG works perfectly on the basses I play/ed: MM SR5, MTD Kingston, Spector LX5, Cellar V. I know some Mayones players droptune, not sure to what note.

The MXR is super clean, too clinical for my taste eventually as I sold it after a year or two. I wanted something with a little life, flavour, juice to it. Tried the Cali compact bass but didn't get on with the controls. Switched to the Compact Deluxe and that's it! Perfection.

I have a Kustom defender 15h that's currently living with a friend who is building it into a vintage radio enclosure.

Because it's obviously made for stoner.

Handforth Dean and the Retail Park Funeral bringing you the very latest in shoegaze country!

I think you're too hung up on the numbers. Only 70ms or longer works? That's just really odd, more so because you apparently are not confident in your ability to hear the difference. Horses for courses I guess. For me compression is about catching the peaks and bringing them in line for fuller, steadier notes. The bass has plenty of sustain so there's no need to lift the noise floor there. Because I'm not limiting, the leading edge of the tone is not squashed at all just reined in. Fast attack and reasonably fast release for me.

None. Not the Cellar or the Spector. Even the stylist cabbie isn't any worse than usual.

Since Phil called for violence against Dime (weeks before the assassination) and turned into full blown KKK I'm absolutely done with that piece of scum.

Rule of thumb is that the wattage is calculated to the power output before distortion. Valve amps for electric instruments are designed to operate beyond the point where distortion occurs. For bass, 300 watt valve amps are not uncommon because of the vastly increased headroom (how long it sounds clean Vs power output). Increasing the amplification beyond the maximum undistorted signal is Overdriving and will alter the nature of the signal. The area where this sounds pleasing in some way gives a lot of extra loudness output so the amplification and power usage if measured at the wall are actually way higher than the rated wattage.

Looks ok to me, great for learning to work the bass or heavy hitting plectrums. The pic is of the useless end too.

You don't have this problem at metal gigs.

Err, what kind of link is that? I shouldn't have clicked on it but it's before my morning coffee. Opened some sort of faux mail programme?

The correct way is of course to fill the holes with a fitting wooden dowel and woodglue, then drill the appropriate size hole.

That's some TurboEncabulator text right there

Did you check the set up? Action may have changed with the fresh strings. Otherwise try some fast-fret.

Hofner shorty violin bass would be my pick, affordable and very easy to play https://www.thomann.de/nl/hoefner_shorty_violin_bass.htm edit: and cheap!

The markbass compressore I had for a while ticks many of your boxes.

I get my DDTs from Thomann. I can't find anyone that beats their price.

In practice this happens often but as Beato says it's sometimes transposed to different pitches or sounds. Some people hear drilling, or think it's the neighbour's washing machine, or an airplane spooling before take-off. Tinnitus also occurs without hearing damage, often to highly sensitive people or people who have filtering deficiency (possibly somewhere in the ADHD/ADD or autism spectrum, even if very lightly).

Good of him to give attention to his (and many of ours) affliction! My tinnitus was the reason I retrained in to the audiology field. He mentions how loud it sounds. The experience of sound is created in the hearing center of the brain. The last step sound travels to your consciousness. It's usually only a few dB above your hearing level but as it's added last you'll hear it over loud 'outside' sounds. The loudness required to drown out the tinnitus is not the same as the loudness òf the tinnitus. It is a son of a beach to learn to live with.

Best call nurse, you've forgotten to take your meds again.
