Sorry, missed this earlier, is it working yet? Seems fine here on all my devices

Generally when I had a Cazpar, I just used newtone strings, especially as it is hard to get 5 string short scale strings. But mine was used so not stock, so i don't know what the originals are.

That is always an issue, although I would say that a cable long enough to be noticably affected by signal loss / capacitance would be very short. Which is fine if you don't mind that loss. My experience is entirely the opposite to that. And I am not talking EQ, as I rarely do anything other than flat EQ.

That is lovely!

around your leg?

There is the sadowski, maybe a bit over range: https://www.thomann.de/gb/sadowsky_metroexpress_21_5_vin_bk_fl.htm or the sire marcus miller, that is 5 string, jazz like, unlined and underbudget https://www.thomann.de/gb/marcus_miller_v7_alder_5_fl_awh_2nd_gen.htm

Don't worry, even gibson only worked that out in the 70s!

Yes, that was an easy one on heardle, 1 second here too. TBH, unless something is increadably generic, it should be easy for anyone to get in one if they know it.

I never adjusted anything on my first bass, a red ibanez ric copy. It was nicked, I would still love to get that bass back, but prices on those things are stupidly high for how good they are.

Like frothing because other people express an opinion? Just to be clear, if it happened, which it won't, it would affect everyone who used the marketplace in some way so everyones opinions would be valid.

I have luminays in several basses and I must say they vary from not really that useful to worse than white plastic dots. In fact the not really that useful ones are the ones in my elwood, and I would say that as they look like white plastic dots, or could be because the board is ebony, so they are easy to see. They are worse in the EHB where they don't stand out very much at all.

Well, yes, that is what is happening, you are listening to it how people heard it, the mistakes you made or things that weren't quite right were not that significant to the whole, but they were to you because they were entirely what you were concentrating on at the time. Although I don't suffer from performance anxiety really, I do always have a difficulty when people come up afterwards and say 'you were fantastic' - maybe part of that is my upbringing, that is someone compliments you or says something nice, you automatically assume it is sarcastic, and partly because I know it wasn't and all the mistakes and problems, but maybe in this case I am wrong, maybe the fact that it was fantastic to them is far more important to the fact that it wasn't fantastic to me.

All living fear. From an old recording, doubt it got to youtube

It doesn't matter. True conspiracy theories evolve to paper over the bits where they were clearly and demontrably wrong! Unless they are conspiracies against evolution, in which case they just pretend they never said the wrong thing in the first place, evolving would be self destructive!

Tuning a piano is a lot more complicated than working out the mathmatical pitch of every note and tuning with a strobe - that will give you not a very pleasant sounding piano. You start from the correct tuning and then work from there to make it sound better

No, they had a rotary switch that had coil and pickup switching options.

If you had never heard the song before, and then see it in a thread called disappointing songs, how can you find it disapointing, as your expectations should be pretty low to start with!

I gigged a TC250 combo for a couple of years, night and day on the stuff that had gone before it. Would be happy to do it again

Sounds the same to me. If there is anything wrong with the active it might be a bad preamp. If there is a difference between your passive and active sound then you either have a bad preamp or you like the sound of your cable, or the RC network connected to your pickup, or prefer the input impedance of your amp. When it hits your amp it becomes active anyway, so the difference is if you want your preamp before or after the cable.

So just short scale? So is that anything less than 34, or do we need a medium scale, and is that 32? so I guess that a short is going to be 30. how about 31, is that medium or short? I have a 27" bass, is that short or super short? Now we can have rics, so they are less than 34" so I guess they are medium scale? I have a 33" bass as well, so is that medium or long. How about a dingwall, they go to 37 so must be super long, but wait, they are a multiscale so they also go to 34, so I guess they are long. But then my EhB goes from 34 - 32, is that medium or long, or is it a medium multiscale, but then there is a short EhB, goes to 30, so is that short, or is it medium or is that a short multiscale? Or do we need another few categroies for multiscale scale? Or maybe we could have a slider, with the minimum and maximum permitted scales of any string?

It shouldn't mark it as unread if you have read it

Filtering would be great and we really want to do that, although it is a lot of work to do. Having said that, it is hard enough getting people to put locations or descriptions on things in the first place, so without that it would fall down.

you can get a dual speak on splitter from most places that sell speak on leads

nah, that's fake!
