Sorry, but the original Music Man 2EQ preamp is boost only and I know what I'm saying owning an original 1978 and having made my own clones of this preamp.

Remember that this preamp is boost only, even if there might be a center detent on the knobs. 😉

Almost correct, but it's the GS that had a flat four, not the CX. My father was a mechanic and fond of Citroen, and we had the project to put one GS engine (1299cc and 65 hp, so the roughly equivalent of 2 x 2CV engines) in my 2CV in the late 80's, but I literally dismantled my 2CV before we could make it happen. That said in the 60's and 70's, it was quite common to put a Panhard engine in a 2CV. 😉

It's already filmed and explained here the same way. 😉

I've used the Headrush FRFR112 MKII in my bass duet with great success and it was really well sounding coupled to an EBS bass preamp (the EBS-1 V2 old rack model) or to a Headrush Core.

Is it a pain in the bum?

Basse Contre Basse by Alain Caron and Michel Donato is the album that always makes want to listen to bass.

Then it's fine. 👌🏻

If what I see is the actual action, you should raise it to avoid sounding like a fretless bass with too much mwah. 😉 And congratulations for your very personal EUB.

Really love the minimalistic approach and the walking pole endpin, which will be very useful once the perfect position is found as I guess it's still adjustable...

Not Alpher, but more reminiscing of the Peavey Rudy Sarzo headstock to me, especially like here...

Buy a 3 strings bass, or start a D-A-D cover band. 😂😉 Funny as it's often the opposite, the thicker string being used as a thumb rest... Strange that you find that the notes normally played on the G string sound better on the D string as they lack depth and harmonics (you can't change the laws of physics). That said, if it suits your needs and playing, why bother except for that unused string you throw away at each strings changing. Perhaps, just buy 3 new separate strings instead of a full set or ask Newtone to make you 3 strings sets. PS: I've always used all the strings on my sixer (fretless) basses, but that's the way I play and I guess that's certainly why I exclusively play piano now as I wasn't a frustrated guitarist, but a frustrated pianist. 🤦🏻🤪😂

Hi @Steve C77, It's loud enough to rehearse with another electric bassist (yes, a bass duet) or an acoustic guitarist with a brush playing drummer. Hope this helps. PS: Adding the second cabinet to tte Blackstar Fly won't double the power as too often read, you'll hardly notice the power difference, but you'll have more headroom.

Can't agree more (and people know @Dan Dare and me almost often disagree), you can get a way better, on all aspects, modern turntable at this price tag, think Clearaudio Concept MM or Pro-Ject X2B to name the two "newcomers" to the party.

Try the Meze Audio if you can @PaulWarning. And you can also consider at some point this tool : IK Multimedia Arc On Ear, which is a device correcting the response curve of a good list of headphones so they sound really flat, but keep their sound signature. Quite an amazing tool, which is also a rechargeable DAC and headphones preamp as well. That's why I preferred the 700 Pro X over the 770 or 990 that sound too coloured (and heavy) in the bass region, more mids scooped and less neutral, so inducing more ear fatigue and less versatile, but if you like that type of sound, than I fully understand and indeed your mileage may vary.

Over troubled water?

Donate? 🤔😂 The Allen keys may belong to Allan, so they can be Allan's Allen keys... 😉

Don't ever try to ask him something even kindly, you'll understand what kind of person he really is and what his only goal is.

Great advice, even if the owner/writer is a bloody a**hole.

The Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X is way better than the two you mentioned (I own one and tested the other two before choosing it). I also own an excellent Meze Audio 99 Classics Walnut/Gold (my favourite headphones) and an AKG K702 (excellent for mastering, but a tad aggressive for simply listening to music).

I was about to write this. Furthermore, spikes act more like a coupling device than a decoupling device and were originally intended for pure British market where carpet is everywhere in houses, so with spikes, the speakers were again in contact with some solid floor... That's their only purpose.
