    My 1979 fretless Music Man Stingray, a delight to play and stare at. I'm waiting for a transparent pickguard as the wood grain on the body is just wonderful.

    Brian bought a Music Man Stingray style body and some bits, as he likes to say, from me. Everything was done the way a true gentleman proceeds. Ultra fast payment, excellent communication and a patient person as the delivery was slower than usual. Top bloke to deal with. Bye bye 'til the next time. 😉

    In the pre-eq mode, the signal is taken just after the first (half of of the first) 12AX7. A 12AX7 is a twin triode, so it has 2 halves.

    The sister of mine. 😉 GLWYS. 😊

    Listen to old/early blues recordings and you'll notice that they are tuned to the "how the most difficult to tune is right now", so it can be anything and even, to modern, ears, totally out of tune, but as they were all untuned to the same frequency, everything works. The "worst" are the solo guitarists, who were very often totally untuned, but they were making music without any problem as their instrument had strings tuned to themselves. Also learn Indian music or go to an Indian music concert, and you'll notice that first the pitch is decided by the singer and second he/she exposes the intervals which are never fixed and decided by the singer just before the event. In their music theory, the notes in their multiple scales all have the same name (sa ri ga ma pa dha ni), but the intervals and the pitch are not fixed, which is very clever and that's the reason of the adjustable (moveable?) frets on the sitar. Tuning to a fixed frequency is just for the ease of interpreting "classical" music the same way anywhere in the world.

    I have some Hosco (V shaped) and Ibanez (round shaped) sets for bass and guitar and they both work fine depending on what type of groove is needed.

    Or is it like in an Orange Orang Utan in Utah called Cheetah the Raging Flanger.

    Then there's the George Benson trick: repeat your mistakes, so they become a part of what you're playing. Ok, it's not the easiest way, but mistakes are totally normal for real human beings, only robots make no mistakes and it's so boring. I remember seeing Queyras once with his strings quartet fighting against his cello all night and making mistakes, but he got all the applauses in the end... Beauty lies in the imperfection, not the perfection.

    It's on my watchlist.

    I've done a similar process here with some vintage Fender basses, telling people that what they are selling is not what they pretend to be. And some established names are also selling fakes and don't know the exact specifications of what they are selling also pretending that it's fully original. The answer is always the same: Mind your own business! So why bother...

    Hand size...

    Hellzero replied to untune's topic in Bass Guitars

    Agreed @Geek99 as I'm only 1.82m tall.

    Flanger, why?
  13. Hellzero
    You can simply exchange the casing of the 1979 pot with a new one as explained above, which is seen a bit too often these days with vintage items.

    Hand size...

    Hellzero replied to untune's topic in Bass Guitars

    Mine are 21 centimeters and I wear size 11 gloves ... I think these are called paddles, so don't mess with me. 🤪😉 The stretch between my thumb and middle or ring or pinky is totally consistent and is 24 centimeters on the left hand and 23 centimeters on the right hand. Between thumb and index it's 20 centimeters for the left hand and 19 centimeters for the right one.

    Just in case, it's a Fender typical amp part that you can also find here: https://www.fender.com/en-GB/parts/amp-controls-electronics/9-pin-stereo-amplifier-jack/0990913000.html

    It depends on the size of the lounge. 😉

    Prince was an Auerswald aficionado @Richard R 😉

    Louie, Louie Motörhead version, on bass and lead vocals (for the first and last time), in 1983 for a birthday gig: utter disaster, it was kind of Motörhead meeting Meshuggah, but we didn't even know it, I was still 17 years for a few weeks. 🤦🤪
  20. Hellzero
    And sold. 😊

    By the way, it's Glockenklang, not Glockenlag... GLWYS.
  22. Hellzero
    Very nice. 👌👍

    Indeed, but not in stock before a week or two... Or way more.

    I'm not a huge fan of U2 (especially Bono who's a real pain in the āss) for sure, but what I always like is their simple and effective rhythm section as it's what makes a song great. Remove the bass lines from their tunes and they'll sound bland, but as I said earlier any bass will do the job, except for the look. Some good friends of mine have a U2 cover band (Ultraviolet) for more than 3 decades and it's always a pleasure to go and listen to them. In fact, they are like the original band: Real friends from the start, and it's great seeing them playing TOGETHER. They are like a family. That said, the guitar player almost ruined himself buying stuff to sound exactly like The Edge ... I still remember his early years having that massive rack higher than a fridge to get all guitar sounds needed, now a Helix or another equivalent pedalboard is doing the job. The bass player has quite a lot of Adam Clayton's signature basses and amps too, but it's his thing.
