Looks like the pianist decided to slow down the tempo a lot. So you can hear every non-note rising and decaying perfectly. A true genius pianist ! Some purists might want to throw him stones...

Read this as a post scriptum. Luminlay warning that is on their website : "Don't buy the fake Luminlay from emma music in France ! We only sell genuine Luminlay at our website and ebay USA." I know it's a Japanese based company, but they do ship lightning fast.

To me it's a true masterpiece that sounds really good right after the final assembly, which means it will sound amazing after a few months of playing. Infinite congratulations @Andyjr1515 !

They totally screwed the piece when adding the second pipe by their emotional shaking. They ruined it as there is no vibrato on the notation. Amateurs !

Side by side pickups is not a good idea, the magnetic field of the ... magnets could be so high in the nearby position that you'll start having intonation and frequencies cancellation problems.

Rob also published this fantastic book. Highly recommended if you want to play something else that is very very very interesting :

Strange as I emailed John East for a technical question about his piezo preamp about a month ago and like you didn't get any answer. I'm a bit concerned about this as he answers very quickly most of the time. Maybe @skelf could reassure us about John East ? That said it looks like the P-Retro is out of production...

I'm using Fodera strings for this purpose, but here is what Thomann is proposing : https://m.thomann.de/gb/search.html?categoryKeys=GISAEB5S&maxPrice=46&q=5+string+high+c+set&s=price But you can also buy a regular 4 strings set and add the extra high C needed if the brand sales single strings. D'Addario, Kalium, Newtone and Elixir are the easiest to deal with for this and you can even create your own set with the gauges you want by these brands.

If your bass head is angled, no need to put a new nut. I did it very often as I tend to prefer a high C on a fiver than a low B. So not a big deal to do. I think it's harder to find a 5 strings set with a high C than doing the conversion itself. 😉

Just received my "Flea Bass Kit". Everything went smooth and easy. Chris was always communicating. Will deal again with him for sure. Thanks for this cool transaction.

Don't you have 3 other fingers on that hand... Ok, I'll get my coat...

Yes, on an Ampeg SVT head (300 Watts full tubes version) amongst others. Was really sounding louder than a jet taking off... 😱 I've always used Papst fans for this. https://www.ebmpapst.com/de/en/home.html

Bought some used Hipshot tuners from Alan. Fast and easy transaction. Will deal again with him. ACG's are also terrific basses. 👍

For those who want to understand the Krautrock genre, watch this :

No, but Brit-Schrott can... 🤣

Love the body colour. 😍

And Rammstein is not Krautrock at all...

Krautrock was essentially progressive German music. Can has been mentioned, but Tangerine Dream should also be named as the two bands leading this genre, Kraftwerk being a bit apart of if. Then came Die Neue Deutsche Welle initiated by ... Kraftwerk.

Reminds me of Police Helicopter (played live back in the day) by the RHCP.

You could try the Alembic CX3-45L @ped, 3 sets came here rusty, but they sound really great after the rust removal. That's the joy of pure nickel... 🤬
