If your cable is longer than 15m

For a band doing RATM and Tool covers (quite well) that would surprise me.

But but but any energy transferred from the string to the body is lost tone. The string moves through the magnetic field of the pickup right? Any energy that is transferred away from the string motion is not moving through the magnetic field. Now then, higher mass requires more energy to move. Absorbing less energy from the string. Leaving more timbre for the magnetic field to read. If by vintage you mean a dark, slightly muted, warm tone then yes, losing a bunch of energy (or information) will do that. But not through a high mass bridge.

How? Honest question.

Great efficiency at the cost of social contribution. One of the worst employers in the modern world. I've stopped using all Amazon services this year, just can't justify it anymore. edit: the black beauties should last a long time, pound wise!

On these threads, nobody asks what sound you're after or what music you play. People just want their preferences validated I guess. I'm no different but I'll give a little background at least. I play thrash metal, use steel round wound strings and change them every year when I give my bass a good clean, oil the fretboard and change the 9v batteries in the preamp. I use Dr Strings DDT heavies. Iron Maiden's Steve Harris changes his flats before every gig apparently.

If their isotopes are now active for thousands of years they lengthened their lives, not shortened.

I used Schallers for a good while but invariably they started squeezing and showing signs of wear in the cup part. Now using Loxx on my electric basses for 5 years and couldn't be happier! The hollow body has Grolsch locks. Free bonus with the pilsner The only straplock that fell apart on me were Ernie Ball.

If they touch your eardrums you'll feel it I promise. That would be too deep.

Metal is NOT rock music, although they are both popular (pop) music

A computer hooked up to the Scarlet would do the processing right? Still, use the normal outputs to connect to the FX return on your amp.

Illegal file sharing is as good as dead thanks to Spotify/SoundCloud/Deezer etc. Who pay out all but naught per play. Record sales have never contributed more than a quid a piece in the best of circumstances, unless sold by directly at a live show. Credits from radio play, ticket sales and merchandise are the main earners iirc.

Does wrapping it in cling film count?

Why would you expect a shop to pay for your error? Sales via internet would grind to a halt within two months or products would increase in price with the postage factored in.

Play the bass you like most, no punters will know the difference. A Peavey or Kustom type amp set to cut through, and then the gain cranked to just before clipping. HH, hartke 3500, SWR, Gallien Kreuger all get close enough. A smidge of overdrive if the result is too clean for the song.

What differentiates humans from animals is the making and use of tools 😉 Now let's stop the nonsense and keep the fanboi stuff in their appropriate threads.

If as per the first post, all things are equal, the plectrum looks better and can be used as a business card. Pick

Disagree. It would suggest they've protected your hearing well from noise attrition. However there seems to be another cause in play. Could be unlucky genetics, could be past or current medications. Could be the loudness of the signal you are perceiving is objectively mild but is circumventing all of the brain's natural filters. If the hearing test shows no decline, all that's left is to attack the issue psychologically. Playing music responsibly as you've shown you do won't make it worse, and quitting won't make it better.

The noise load may not be the major issue. Can you talk to someone regarding CBT or tinnitus related mindfulness therapy? Maybe you can get a better grip on how much it gets to disrupt you.
