You cannot spell Bass without a B. Come at me 4 string zealots.

I had no idea these existed. I have often fancied the control that digital offers but in a 4 channel package. Well, here it is. I was worried that it did not have parametric eq. It does. They also make a cute mic stand adapter. So I shall buy one. BC, always finding me new ways to spend money.

Aha! I was thinking 4 here. But 40 it is.

For some reason I can remember being member number 4. But that might just be a created memory. I do love it here though.

Yep. There I am. op.

Did a gig last night in Llanfair Caereinion. What a pleasant surprise to find a d&b Audiotechnik foh and martin wedges. I left my backline (QSC12) in the car. There was a moment to smile when the singer asked for less bass in the foldback to be told there was none. But there was a REALLY weird squeal going on. We could not find an induction loop and the rig was not hooked up to anything installed. Eventually I found the loop amp which was live with an open mic somewhere on the stage. It was clearly set up for general use. Everything got a lot easier when that went off.

A nice honest piece of wood there. I like it.

A very pleasing colour combo.

I miss their tapewound strings.

Phew. I am glad you came up with the answer quickly. I was about to embark on a spot-the-difference puzzle, and I hate those.

I shimmed to raise the headstock. It is now OK. But I must admit it feels like a cheat. My preference is that it works as it "should". I know a shim is entirely acceptable. Thanks all for humouring me, as usual.

It shows us enough to suggest you are not playing a Lefty P!

No joy after a couple of days to settle. I might just put the flats back on. They were showing it who was boss.

Essentially, the bottom strings are buzzing more than the top ones. The neck has had a couple of days to settle, so I shall recheck it tonight.

Not in any way, shape or form

Fair play, those look great and if they function well then you are ahead of the game. My bass would need some intense refinishing on the headstock to make them work, but the ones I have rattle and are ........ not aesthetically pleasing. Thanks.

£59 at Andertons. I got quite excited when I saw it at £113 on eBay, but decided to check further. Tough not to take a punt at that price. https://www.andertons.co.uk/aston-element-cardioid-microphone/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=surfaces&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20740064305&gclid=CjwKCAjwiezABhBZEiwAEbTPGA5ZdGR_IB7_lA-I3f84O9ALZEjD1oIgz7EJODuJE2A9j_L4pZaVoBoCs2wQAvD_BwE

Interesting. Any links or pics? Thanks

Read the brief Chris

That is the large diaphragm. That will do the meat and potatoes, I am just looking for the redcurrant jelly as well. It is lovely though

..... any ideas? To sit in with a large diaphragm condenser for detail work on acoustic guitar or Double Bass. TIA
