TC Dreamscape now includes shipping. -
Awwwwwww!!!!!!!! Heart breaking sight I feel for you! I can only echo but also at the same time confidently report that this certainly is repairable. I have a friend in the city here who has repaired completely decapitated Gibson guitars (as mentioned above) with completely invisible joins of original headstocks. So although a painful sight, whatever has happened can be reversed. Jon I am sure will be able to respond. I know that doesn't help the initial frustration and how you are feeling but hang in there; I have a bass in my collection that I love even more after a repair!!

I’m looking at these who suggest on the webbz that they do cover for damage and loss. https://www.directcouriersolutions.com

Did we ever find a courier that does actually cover the full amount for loss and damage? Mainland shipping.

P Bass Pickup & String Recommendations For Natural Scoop!
Dood replied to Ruck's topic in Accessories and Misc
Agreed on the SPB3 QP! -
On this occasion it isn't. A luthier who is local to me did the work. You know me well enough though; My Shuker have flip paint finishes expertly applied by Jon himself!! -
Yes, 1. Tell him to put the kick through the PA thus moving the source away from your amp. 2. Gating the kick through the PA can help to cut back on the ringing. 3. Using some sort of padding in the kick drum to stop the Res head from ringing can help if he hasn't done that already. 4. Effective EQ'ing (That you can not do with the TC head and 15" speaker. Taking in to consideration 4b. The kick is tuned well.

I have another ad' floating around too that I need to bump.

Box for packaging is available however you are solely to look after the cost and responsibility of shipping, tracking and insurance. (recent bad experiences) OR you can collect and have a nice cuppa with me.

I couldn’t comment if the speakers are all the same model, certainly the cabinet sizes differ which could lead to varying responses.

Interestingly, TC Electronic K-Cabs, Laney SL cabs and now these Orange models are all using LaVoce speakers. I liked the sound of both the Laney and the TC, so I expect I will like these when I review them next month. Not bad for the money at all!
-
In a word, yes. There’s modulation and EQ effects that can be applied to the octave sound, which for some reason just isn’t advertised. It’s daft they are missing a trick. i would love to demonstrate, but I’m currently being forced to sell anything I don’t essentially need. The TC’s have gone already.

Your favourite (famous - e.g. mainstream) music videos
Dood replied to EBS_freak's topic in General Discussion
Wasn't MJ influenced by this video for one of his? I forget the name of the song but I seem to recall that being mentioned in an interview. Great video though for sure G&C! -
I read this hearing the voice of Hugh Laurie intermittently playing the part of 'House'. A very enjoyable read.

Does a bass stand which really packs down into a gig bag but works exist?
Dood replied to Owen's topic in Bass Guitars
Yes I like these too - and my main bass has two strap buttons on it's 'bottom end' when stood upright that also act like little feet. -

Dood replied to Owen's topic in Bass Guitars
I foolishly bought one of these from another site advertising it as suitable for a guitar or bass. Maybe with a different brand name on it. It really is only good for a Ukelele, so I couldn't recommend this for bass: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AROMA-AGS-08-Folding-Adjustable-Guitar-Stand-Aluminum-Alloy-A-Frame-Stand-Universal-for-Banjo-Guitar/32666319127.html -
Lovely, though I would say Cm, the relative minor key due to the resolution mentioned and severe lack of an Eb major chord in the song
-
Graham, Lowdown has part of my answer here. Also, when you listen to the progression there is a home chord. A gravity towards a particular resolution and that is the Cm chord. In any modal progression it's about that resolution and how the progression builds the sound of that mode. So, although Ab Major does appear at the start of the progression, it's not "home". Now, if the song did indeed resolve to Ab Major then yes then we could be looking at Lydian as a mode, but the pointers of a Lydian chord progression for me aren't there, it's more the Cm vibe.
-
Yes and no, I'd say. The Ab chord is diatonic, but the key is Cm. So, whereas you may be playing a pattern on the bass neck that "looks Lydian" You're still actually just playing the Cm scale from Ab to Ab. Or to put it another way, the piece of music doesn't have a Lydian sound to it. (Lydian is major in character, this track is minor.) I'll also just tack on to the end of this by way of an edit, before I picked up my bass to check the key, by ear I could hear the strong pull back to a 'i' chord, in this case being the C. Lydian again would be pulling my ear back to a major chord. (Major 7 as an example)

On the subject of repairs, yes, a friend of mine repaired a huge hole in an acoustic guitar and I couldn't see where he'd done the repair when complete. But of course the Tacoma story was a bit different. It wasn't Andy's responsibility to fix something that UPS destroyed. Get well soon matey!

I've just seen one of the most beautiful 6 string basses I've clapped my eyes on and it's going up on Facebook and Instagram tonight.
-
The first question is always "What's your budget", but to be honest the answer will either be Helix, Helix HX Effects or Helix Stomp I do also really like and rate the Zoom B3 and Zoom B3n which are very, very good for the money.

I was talking to Jon just the other day about Uberhorn. The electronics on this one came up in conversation and he'd said that at the time, this bass was a the prototype to Uberhorn and thus so were the electronics on board. The "best" way to do things at the time he recalls. Like the upgrades here, Jon is now using John East's UniPre and Piezo Buffer in the Uberhorn basses as standard. (Other pickups are available etc) . So it sounds like things have come on a long way and the systems now supplied are way more resilient - oh and from this thread, it appears they sound amazing too! I want an Uberhorn!!!

I would guess that Bluetooth's latency would probably be a problem if "live sound" and the received Bluetooth signal were to be heard at the same time by the listener. It would be really distracting. Your second question, yes I think some devices allow for multiple log ins, but my feeling is that signal can only pass between one pair at a time. I don't know that for sure, but with certain household gadgets I own with bluetooth, that's the case.
