Home recording or banging my head against a wall.
Doctor J replied to Dom in Dorset's topic in General Discussion
Start with the basics, is it the Focusrite showing up as a device in whatever system you're connecting it to with whatever operating system it's running, however you're connecting it? -

NBD: Somewhat of a childhood dream. A van der End 5 string Jazz.
Doctor J replied to BassAgent's topic in Bass Guitars
Nice. What's going down in Pickuptown? Very interesting. -
Squire P Bass randomly gets zero to extremely low output

Now you know how the AI farms get data for answers 🤣 -
We are but a few baby steps into the AI journey, don't forget. There is a long, long way to go before we truly see what it's capable of and understand the consequences.

What is left to be said about a repeatedly regurgitated design? Let the robot handle it and go down the pub.

Consider playing ergonomics too. The D-Roc requires to be played in a particular way.

Will BC ever work properly on iPhones?
Doctor J replied to dave_bass5's question in Site Issues and Questions
I use Firefox on an iphone 15, don't have that issue any of the time. Give it a shot. -
C is just fine, but I'd be looking to use a set of 11s or 12s. My last gig was on guitar in a band who tuned down to A, sometimes dropped G. I used a home-assembled 25.5" scale strat using D'Addario 68-14 strings. While we usually did the heavy stuff, it sounded very nice clean. I used the same setup to record this a few years later, with some clean in there, tuned to A.

Fender replacement necks - any alternatives?
Doctor J replied to DF Shortscale's topic in Bass Guitars
Pick up a cheaper Warmoth neck here, ones that are already built. You get to choose fret size, too, among other options. US$210 plus about $100 shipping plus 25% import duty and VAT won't overly violate your budget. https://warmoth.com/bass-necks/j-bass#instock -
Fender replacement necks - any alternatives?
Doctor J replied to DF Shortscale's topic in Bass Guitars
Warmoth, in my experience, make better necks than Fender USA, never mind Mexico. They're expensive but for very good reason. -
A bit of Cry of Love in the video too, very tasteful 😉

Love your work, fella, always fascinating to see you put this stuff together.

A regular J cover pair should fit them, no?

He gives the people what they want. There is nothing to stop Joe Public from buying physical media or bandcamp downloads should they want to better support artists. They appear to prefer Ek's model. An interesting question would be how many musicians here subscribe to a streaming service.

Rick Beato gets all uppity about “Yacht Rock”…
Doctor J replied to TrevorR's topic in General Discussion
Thankfully there are a lot of hairs to split on this crucial topic. Rick should get a solid 30 minutes out of it.- 74 replies

Bruh, there are multiple alnico varieties. I have a strat with alnico 3 magnets on the bass side and alnico 4 magnets on the treble side. It's... like... how can we apply a judicious tonal examinanationationing without knowing which alnico we're talking about? These things are serious business. Alternatively, from the Yamaha BB2024 blurb... "the neck pickup uses an Alnico V magnet for warm, rich sounds while the bridge pickup features a ceramic magnet for clarity and definition." EMG tend to use ceramic magnets, old humbuckers and strats tend to use anico 5, it's all good.

Rick Beato gets all uppity about “Yacht Rock”…
Doctor J replied to TrevorR's topic in General Discussion
Really? It was all hard rock/glam rock until the 2000's 'round our way. I honestly never heard that term until the scene had passed into the warm bosom of nostalgia. The 'hair' bit only came in once most people didn't have any anymore.- 74 replies

I can't wait until we get to "Hair Metal", a massively stupid term which also didn't exist until long after the scene died on its arse.- 74 replies

Find a new tech. If the guy can't figure out something as basic as this after needlessly replacing parts a number of times, you should bring it to someone who knows what they're doing instead.
