Something that is capable of running for 8 hours as a headphone amp isn't goiung to last that long running flat out at 50W
-
I had one of those. Wanted a discount. Offered him a full refund if he sent it back, turned out he didn't want to.
-
Literally if you have a harmonic directly over the pickup you will not have any of that harmonic in the final output, the string at that point will be effectively static. At the point of a harmonic, there is a zero input from that harmonic.
-
Got mine today, seems pretty solid and appears to work ok. Don't get clicking on the compressor, or scratching on the volume.
-
But why? is that to make your open strings quieter and counteract the fact they are normally louder? Obviously being under a harmonic will deny you any contribution of that harmonic in the output (assuming a single coil pickup), so maybe give you a deeper sound, and ok, I could get that, but that would completely change sound as soon as you fretted any note, so what is the point? Its easy to work out where the harmonics would be, but my question is why does it make it desirable that purely on open strings you remove that harmonic, but not any of the other frets?
-
The what harmonic though? obviously there are a whole set of harmonics, but they are only fixed for open strings, when you fret the notes the harmonics move with the frets

I have too many basses at 10 (or so), but honestly not sure which basses I would get rid of as I use them all. Actually, no I have a 4 string ibanez I don't use often, but that was one of my earliest decent basses, so I would be loathed to get rid of it. Looking around at the others, there isn't a bass I wouldn't or don't gig, so not sure. If I wasn't gigging, then maybe there were a couple I rarely play at home.

Wireless IEMs: Xvive U4 & alternatives
Woodinblack replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
Well, I do but not to keep it a distance away from the desk, just because I have a X18 (not an XR18), and the output aux sockets are TRS plugs, so I have a number of short orange TRS plug to XLR sockets so that me and the drummer can plug into the socket (save looking round the back. My lead is a bit shorter so we know which is which, but the U4 sits on top of the mixer anyway. As you can see on the bottom right of this: -
Deadpool came out - the money people got distracted and forgot where they put all the £s
-
Nope, its only £70 saved if you were planning to get one anyway, otherwise it is £150 lost He's cost us all thousands now I would imagine. But then so have I. Maybe we need a GAS Enabler cost thread to keep a tally. Or maybe, we don't!
-
They have always varied wildly - they were really cheap at thomman a few years ago, in the hundreds (both models) and varied a lot day by day
-
I don't want one, as I am happy with my amp and I also have a spare TC450. And a BAM200. So I dont need one. So mine is due next week, because I am a deeply weak and flawed individual and am holding stewblack entirely responsible. The 180 day money back thing seemed a no brainer.

Looks much nicer than the default unfinished ones!
-
The fender urge had those two pickups (and the other Jazz one.
-
I gigged for a while with a P and with a J, although I no longer possess either. But picking between just those, I would say that I found the J a better all round gigging bass for a variety of music unless I was exclusively playing late 70s / early 80s punk / pop stuff, where I found the P worked better.
-
I don't see it as inconcievable that that happened, just that an old thrown out set of floorboards would have a value for that reason, beyond the value of any other 60 year old floorboards. In this case the paving stones from near lenon or McCartneys house much be worth an absolute fortune!

We normally do stop the cavalry and Merry Christmas Everyone, and yes, people do want that stuff
-
That is crazy - they are 24 months late on a 12 month build. I think you are quite within your rights to say that if it isn't delivered in <some small amount of time> that you will be seeking a full refund as they haven't kept up their side of the bargain, and I can't see how any of those exuses justify it. Frankly, if I was a business, I wouldn't be passing on those sort of details anyway - seems a 'dog ate my homework' exuse!
-
Was there any part of the contract on what you would get when?
-
You are a patient man - I have such a short attention span I could never cope with that. The 12 week wait for my Maruszczyk was about as long as I could wait. I think I might turn a guitar into a midi instrument, with one of those built in kits, I prefer playing the bass but the latency isn't anywhere near as much of an issue on the guitar.

Well the ones I bought had nothing to do with any group!

I was so tempted to get a Bass VI when it was in shell pink, but I didn't, and now there aren't any anywhere. Probably as well, I have had 2 bass VIs before and I sold both of them!

No they don't, mine was 'out for delivery' the day before it was delivered

Simple way to determine effect of combining cabs?
Woodinblack replied to asingardenof's topic in Amps and Cabs
No, the answer is 'Good question, but no you can't for reasons'. Its not a stupid question, its just a no! -
Heres an interesting thing, for people who ask for budget IEMs. ok, I was expecting very little. £40 (I ordered these before I got replacements of my XVives), they are a stereo IEM set, weigh nothing, fairly small. Turns out the sound is fine, fairly surprisingly so. Latency I assume is high although in listening trials straight from a headphone socket of a bass amp I can't hear anything. Range appears to be ok in my house but my house isn't that big! Can't say that this is the be all or end all, but for £40 they do actually work in a reasonable way. No idea what the battery life is like yet.
