Get an ibanez ashula for that. All the strings on the same neck!

Actually, very few active basses do this which is a shame as I think it is a valid thing to do. Most tend to go from the pickups to the balance control, then into the volume, then into the preamp, which always seemed a bit backwards, but it makes it easier for people who want to be able to switch to passive. so mixed, volumed and amplified. This is I think why basses with EMGs sound different, because they don't do that, they are amplified, mixed then volumed, which makes a lot more sense, because the amp is in the pickup. Also the reason that Wals and some ACGs sound different, each string is amplified then mixed. The difference is in an active bass, the two pickups intefere with each other, most noticable on a jazz, where you have two identical pickups that at the point where both volumes are full, there is a dip, due to two coils interacting with each other, not two sources. if they were amplified first, the two actual sound sources would interact, but not the coils. Also you should amplify before volume, that way your signal to noise stays the same at all volumes, rather than your signal going down and the noise staying up

Haha - don't notice anything when there is a picture! Must admit as much as I would love a double neck, I think fretted // fretless probably isn't enough of a difference for the extra weight - I would just play the fretless in a fretted way! would have to be a guitar / bass.

I think it is more than that. When you think about it, it wouldn't have had that octave thing to start with and it would have been put in to cut down on another problem, you haven't heard what impact that other problem has - maybe it is terrible? It is surprisingly difficult to work out an octave on a pitch to note system, many times the octave up is more prominant than the fundamental, certainly after the initial decay, you only need to listen to an old octave pedal to hear this, where it is jumping around. If you look at the midi output of something like a GR guitar synth, you can see how difficult this is (the midi output is quite poor compared to the internal pitch - it starts on one note then immediately bends to the correct note).

What is the point of a doubleneck bass / bass? Or is that bottom neck a lined fretless?

Wonder if it might not have the tinyest of headdives on that one!

That looks like the one on reverb, the one with the fuzz circuit

agedhorse doesn't seem to be the one trolling here...

22 total Gibson double necks with a bass neck. One on reverb for £43k

There are quite a few pictures of elves playing the bass and apparently that was his favourite. However there aren't many of the eds 1250s about now

Then you fix the power supply. Or if not, you have to get another power supply, so you are no worse off, other than a gone power supply. But I have never had a pedalboard power supply actually die, so I doubt it is going to happen.

Not insulting in any way, I have just not had it, so maybe there is something wrong with your systems? I have a Smoothhound, and two chinese wireless dongle systems (one 2.4g, one 5g) and haven't had it at all - feel free to insult if you want, they 2.4g ones cost £19, but they work fine. Actually I have another one, that i have never tried, its a stereo system 2.4G system which I got for the stick, but haven't tried yet.

Only image they don't show you of the power bars is the underside, seems like it must have some holes or something to attach it?

Pretty well the same as the spaceship board with the power bolted on. Would need to hack the back line off a normal metal board as the power socket is at the back and the other sockets at the front. Probably not too much of a pain though,. Pretty tempted I must say, a really clean solution to a problem I actually have (which I can't say for most purchases I make because of things here!)

They come with a 3mm baseplate to move them up don't they?

Yeh, i had a babicz before on a Gibson eb5, but seemed a bit over faffy, and obviously they only do the wide spacing so no good for me. Most of my bridges are just the originals, they aren't anything I change much, because you don't have to fiddle with them that often and once they are set up it is pretty hard for it to not work - the ibanez all have the monorails, the spectors have quite a chunky bridge (can't say I am overkeen but does the job), I suppose if I was to pick something, it would probably be something like the Schaller 3ds - good string spacing, good adjustment and looks good too. Still, at least they are not gibson bridges!

Mines the standard Maruszczyk with 17mm. Not that it matters - it might not be the best bridge in the world but it works fine and when it is set up you don't have to touch it for a long time.

Doesn't that depend on your standard - by default you can specify 17-20mm bridge spacing. They all look the same but maybe not

The reason it is cheaper in many cases (not specifically amazon, I don't order from there) is you have nothing like the protection that you get here. Probably doesn't matter with strings, but things cost more here due to protections that we take for granted, like over a year warantee instead of 3 months etc.

The wierd thing, if you select a spaceship board, you can click the 'make a bundle and save 5%'. as part of the bundle you can pick many types of power supply, but not this one that literally goes with the board. Maybe they are new and they haven't caught up. I mean my pedalboard is fine (case is screwed) but that power supply looks great, maybe I can just hacksaw the back off and fit one

Indeed - I think you need more synth! Is the plethora no good for octave then?

There is an additional screw that stops it moving back and forward, but the two at the top control height, as long as there is height to take off. Like all bolt ons, if you run out of height to take off at the bridge you need to shim the neck. And if you do that on a Maruszczyk, be carefull of the screws!

Completely untrue. Most active basses don't.

Which is what I said in the first place - I wasn't disputing any impact of punk, I was saying that a lot of 'punk' bands had nothing to do with a 'scene' and it wasn't all teenage rebelion, therefore as a music it is just as valid now as it was then.
