    Started the "Harmonic Layering - Arpeggios, Chord Tones & Scales." course and I must say that it's way much better and useful than this introduction "thing". I've already done the fretless course with Steve Lawson.

    I wanted to go to the end, even if I downloaded immediately that page and saw the very very very thin program with such an ambitious title. What I can tell after having watched the video all along (doing scales while waiting for the end) is that it's simply an easy way to get money. There is lot of harassment behaviour in the way the SBL is managed : two or more emails a day, always repeating the same things, telling you what to do because this is the only way, superlatives in every sentence, ... Sorry I'm 53, playing for more than 30 years, mainly fretless, and I've studied all my life because I like it, but this is just too much, I'm not a 5 years old kid. So, I'll turn down the notifications, attend the courses I want to and certainly get to where I want to get. I'lll come back later after more courses and give my honest feedback.

    The NJ4SE is a split coil, not a stacked humbucker, so more on the P-Bass side, as it's the same approach. You will loose that magic sparkle of the single coil.

    I blocked the morning for this useless video.

    Thanks @NickA, but it was already in the ad. 😉

    I think the guy behind GSS was lost in translation, he certainly meant "low cost production".

    If you like the single coil tone (which I do love) and need a noiseless pickup, only focus on stacked humbuckers. Why ? Because they are the only ones close to single coils as they sense the strings the same way a single coil is. Nordstrand stacked humbuckers are very good (very close to single coils) as well as Seymour Duncan's (more muddy than the Nordstrand's). Bassculture stacked humbuckers are terrific too and Christoph DOLF can make you one exactly the way you want.

    I've been attending the workshop called : Halve Your Practise Time & Get Progress Faster Than Ever! What a waste of time ! 1 hour and 12 minutes of talking and talking and talking, and it wasn't live at all. I entered the Strap contest to justify this total waste of time, hoping I'll win it, but I know I won't. Ok, maybe I'm a (too) fast learner, but it could have been summarised in 10 minutes which is the total concentrating time per hour for an adult !!! Everyone into teaching is knowing that. It looks like our Scott has a serious problem on focusing and going to the point. Pareto's law is not what he said at all. Let's get it the right way : on an 100% time line, you'll learn (in this case, even if it's an economist law) 80% of your lesson in 20% of the time devoted, meaning that the remaining 20% will take you 80% of this very time. He is simply NOT learning the 20% left, so cutting the knowledge. Let's figure it in real time : if you need one hour to digest a lesson, you'll digest 80% of it in 12 minutes and it will take you 48 minutes to learn the 20% remaining if you want to know your lesson at 100%. Now, would you trust a medical specialist who only knows his work at 80% and is talking about a surgery ? I won't. Being a former medical representative specialised in bio technologies, I know the Pareto's law very well as in my domain it's always used for targeting, researching and learning the right way; and I can tell you that my exam results after a month of (fast) learning were exactly at 100%. To avoid the Pareto effect, in the medical representatives domain, we have exams each and every were the MINIMAL score to be accredited is 90%. So you have to know your job, which is a good thing.

    Simply simple simplicity, check this GSS 06B400H : https://www.guitarsoundsystems.com/gss-06b400bh-100-watts-mini-bass-amplifier-head-c2x24693747

    Sadly, in terms of heads, there is only the Acoustic Image solution, the Euphonic Audio Doubler is not a real double bass head, no ultra low level input for say a piezo without preamp...
  16. Hellzero
    Urm, urm, nice bass. 😉

    On hold ! 🙂

    The easiest way would be to put a bridge with piezo saddles AND a buffer preamp for the piezos, so around £300 to £1000 GBP depending the brand of piezos and buffer preamp...

    If the built-in tuner is mandatory, then the choice is very narrow, TC Electronic or Peavey in the 3 combos below : https://www.thomann.de/gb/solid_state_bass_combos.html?price-first=0&filter=true&manufacturer[]=TC Electronic&manufacturer[]=Peavey&feature-46931[]=1x 15"&feature-46931[]=2x 10" For the price these retail, my advice would be to buy it new.

    The MIDI Wal has MIDI integrated in the bass via frets sensors, the regular has no MIDI integrated.

    I too have been impressed by Jonas Hellborg since I discovered him when the album Adfa was released in 1989. Then I've been listening to all records he's been playing on and I must admit I became a compulsive buyer and certainly owns almost every record he played on... He surely is my main influence musically speaking.

    The colour is not right, it should be one of that typical Fender blue toilet seat. 🤣

    Thanks mate, the bass for sale here, even if it has the full graphite neck has exactly the same sound, and I know it because it was mine. That said, I've seen this tour at the MAI in Nancy (France) with the late terrific Shawn Lane, and Jonas Hellborg was playing his modified Crafter. What good memories it has awaken. 😊

    Gorgeous instrument. Don't worry for your intonation, use your open strings and harmonics as these are a fixed reference. It helps a lot. Use a tuner too so you'll see if you are in tune. Didn't I tell you about these Shuker ? They are just wonderful instruments. Congratulations and as I always say : no frets, no limits ! 👍
