I had an intractable - for me - MIDI problem. Peter came to the rescue. I no longer have an intractable MIDI problem. And so epically patient!

I must admit, I have found that any amp works for a DB as long as there is an FDeck HPF between the bass and the amp. It smooths things out and you can nuke the boominess. A Vong doobrie https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung- would also do a cracking job.

Mr 1515 knows. I am actively selling off basses. I have one of each that I "need". But something built with a piece like that........

You will find that many, many DB players will have clocked various grain and stuff in the neck as markers,

Could someone clue me up about the out of phase pickups? Is it just a matter of reversing the phase of one of them? TIA

If you are playing in tune, in time and not experiencing pain, there is not much else to worry about.

The trousers which are full of fluff that are meant to stop a chainsaw in it's tracks really do work. I also have two completely functioning legs. There is a conncection here.

Yes! I am enjoying this. Thanks. Did you see the Natalie Prass one? Another absolutely cracking bassist.

I cannot deny, that 3rd octave looks attractive.

I did own one. It was the 2nd of 4 6ers I have owned as I tried to get my head around them (see also fretless basses). It did everything right, but there is no denying it was a weighty piece of kit. Having said that, my present Overwater 6 is also weighty. So that is probably a 6 thing rather than a HB thing.

Thanks. Like much in my life, it is easy when you know how

? TIA

I do not have anything to add about his artistry, but I liked the fact that he apparently specced basses with no strap buttons. Sitting down is the best.

It is now working again AND I have 9 spares! Thanks again.

Those TI rounds are a treat to play!

Snap for the FNRS. How else would I have discovered The Dixie Dregs?

An artist for me is someone who pursues expression within their chosen discipline. As a bassist I have never seen myself as an artist. I am a craftsman, and I like it. I have recently started wrting and recording my own stuff. I never used to because I could not imagine anything I ever wrote comparing to Zawinul or Corinne BR or Floyd or Ben Folds (only the 5 iteration). I have recently made peace with the fact that the noise I make is the noise I make and none the worse for that. So part of me is exploring that artist side. I have just retired so the world better get ready for my Grey Vanity Project! The advantage of retiring is more time (apparently). The disadvantage is that I no longer have access to the beautifully equiped, ATC packing, control room at work.
