Interface for home practice using headphones
ped replied to Martin_D's topic in Accessories and Misc
In my defence I never tried it naked! -
OK the cloth arrived - turns out it's completely black rather than the 'salt 'n' pepper' style as per the listing. (although looking at the photo of my amp it kind of depends on the lighting) For now I've covered the grille of the amp, which works fine as the curved ends of the grille actually do a great job of grabbing the cloth and holding it. I'll still make a wooden frame though next week. Here's a quick snap. Really pleased with how it looks now, nice and clean! I might get a folding handle for the top, like a flight case style sprung handle. Any ideas what I can call it, there's room for a logo on the top front edge (with a label gun!!)

I started what I thought would be a shit hot fishing forum about 15 years ago - why people insist on discussing bass guitars is beyond me - given up now.

Well nobody asked for it and now I've done it. I found myself at a loose end yesterday (actually there were several things I could have been doing instead) so without any forethought or planning I fired up my iPad and recorded this little video. I'm sure there's a better way of doing it but I did the video on the iPad, audio on my iMac with garage band then bounced them together and added some text. Seemed to go ok so now I may do some better ones. Anyway here you can enjoy the sound of my mini bass and the VB99 which I love for it's flexibility. I've had it (and the previous version before it) for about 10 years now and I'm still finding new things to do with it. Hope you enjoy! ped

And so many nice headstocks ruined by an ugly body!

Thanks! Here’s the cloth I bought. I’ve decided to cut some MDF into a square and then cut out the centre to make a rigid frame that won’t need glueing. I can use the pillar drill at work to do it and probably nick some wood too.

Not a bad price. I prefer the matte black one on here though

I've put him on Post Approval (so anything he posts will have to be approved by us first) and sent him a rather to-the-point email regarding his actions from this point onwards. Unless he sorts you out @joegarcia he won't be coming back here again, and I'll co-operate with the Police should you like to get in touch with them about it. Contact detail wise, I have an email address and home address which may help the Police if necessary. Feel free to message me and I can pass these on to the relevant authority.

Very cool, it looks really tactile and has stunning attention to detail.

I’m in York so fairly close. Tempted! -
Some bridges really don’t go very low, and I’ve removed parts of saddles before to get the super low action I like. It’s quick and easy and perfectly ok if the string has something stable to rest on. In fact, the bridge in my Marleaux had those same ‘blades’ and even at their lowest they were a good 3mm too high, so I took them out. I think the bridge was ETS?

Hmm. Can you set it with a high ratio so it works like a limiter, using a TonePrint? 20:1 or more? (Just realised you’re talking about the mini but I’m on abiut the normal sized which takes battery power)

Welcome Josh, get Stuck in, I hope you enjoy the site.

I've now started modding the Roland Micro Cube somewhat. Nothing OTT but since removing the plastic corner protectors I've also put the rubber feet on the side so the amp sits rotated 90 degrees with the input and controls on the side of the box. This means I can sit on top of it and also it fits under my coffee table without having to remove the lead. Next I am changing the metal grille for a wooden frame covered with black speaker cloth, which should look quite nice. Hardly warrants a build thread... will update when it happens! Any tips for covering a wooden frame with cloth? I've got some decent non stretchy stuff that I plan on basically stapling to the frame, then attaching the frame to the cab by using lego bricks or velcro... I presume covering the existing metal grille with cloth is a no-no, but that said I've only read that in connection with big cabs in large rigs, which might produce flapping against the grille. Hardly an issue in this case...

Agreed on the lack of musicality and the wearing a hat indoors, but I do find techniques like this interesting; although i'd never use it for a full 'riff', I do enjoy using my bass percussively and familiarising myself with the feel and tonal qualities of the instrument. Sitting in front of the TV this kind of exercise is quite useful, but probably not in a band situation.

I think we tried it but it didn't work - we've got a test site up now and it's on the list of things to fix and push to the live site.
