Hehe, like that a lot too. 👍

And it's been remastered. 👌😊

Listen to this album then, sort of milestone in his career :

If that helps, here's what Didier answered when I asked about the module as, to me too, it was very close to a Pascal module. It's in French as it's his mother tongue. Need to remove the email address first...

You know what, the funniest think is that I read what you wrote before posting. Young Teebs has surely been taking control of my brain, or maybe Dr. Mondeaux. Shouldn't have assisted last night board meeting. Was feeling dizzy just afterwards. 🤣 But why would I bother reading before posting. 😁 Thanks for noticing it. 👍

The video you shared was recorded earlier this year, in 2019. Minneapolis 1987 is the title of the song... 🙃 https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2019/10/14/brian-brombergs-unapologetically-funky-big-bombastic-band-minneapolis-1987/

And there he is playing that Peavey B-Quad, in 1992 (with dark long hair). The B-Quad was his signature model. Always fancied the white fretless version... I think you've also mismatched the dates, Dave. It can't be 1987. Did your stock actions raise that high that you went high too ? 😂

No, that's the Carvin. 😉

In fact it's Music Store, from Cologne in Germany. They were clever enough to buy a franchise so they still will be present on the UK soil after the Brexit.

Indeed, they glow first because of the heater, then the electrons begin to flow from the cathode to the anode through the grid on a triode, but there must be enough tension at the anode to work properly otherwise you won't get the amplification expected (the gain) as the grid will block the flow of electrons. It's the simpliest way to explain how a triode works.

Too many 9's, maybe...

It's surely good for metal.

YT's fault, not mine. 😁

Something like this :

All that noise for a new plectrum. Pfffffft. 🤣

It could be worse, I could play tapping with my nose ! Or slap. 😱

And I'm not sure there is 200 to 300 Volts to make them work properly... Here is the data sheet of a typical preamp valve (or tube), a 12AX7 aka ECC83 aka 7025 :

If you really don't need it, just buy it. Gas works that way. Don't let common sense win, do it. NOW !

A tribute, maybe...

No, Stevie Wonder built it himself.

Running again out of TLRT's, so Yep and proud of it, next time I'll play with my feet.

The strings (I've put an "s" otherwise there only can be one, so good luck to measure the distance between one string ) spacing is only one part of the equation as mentioned earlier. I was mainly a 6 strings bass player and was feeling that 18 mm at the bridge with 9 mm at the nut and a 34 inches scale was perfect. I tried the longer scales up to 36 inches that I liked very much, but not my right shoulder (capsulitis). I can't play on shorter scale (< 34 inches).Then one day I bought a Yamaha John Patitucci II, with 19 mm strings spacing at the bridge and 35 inches scale and I simply wasn't able to play it, so I sold it even if I liked the sound : there is something in this bass that makes you struggle with it all the time and I'm quite tall with big hands (think wood cutter type). The most strange part is that I now play 8 strings Extended Range Basses with 20 mm at the bridge, 9 mm at the nut and 34 inches scale, two Noguera basses (one fretless and one fretted). And I have absolutely no problem playing them : they are so easy to play just like my 6 strings 3/4 EUB... My conclusion is that the lutherie and the ability of the luthier is certainly as important as the strings spacing and scale, or even more. The overall balance is really important too, just like the neck and body shape, without forgetting the weight. So try as many as you can and find the one that suits you.

Quite sure it's the SC 312 model, made only for a year or two and designed for guitar. Late 80's IIRC. Seen it at the Frankfurt Messe back in the days, nothing extraordinary about this guitar cabinet, apart from the marketing...

Seems to. 🤣

All I have to say is : Jama Jama Hey ! Great to be here mates sharing with you, or not if you have decided to use the ignore button. I love the non sense and attitude I can find here. Thanks to @ped of course, but to everyone else too, well maybe not YT.
