They lool like the real deal. Shame about the weight.

I cannot see any immediate uses for this for us. And it is not markted at us. But can anyone see any way of using it creatively. Every time I getbom board with multiple pickup options I default to the "two pickups on full" option and leave it there. Does this have any funtcionality that I am missing? https://www.guitarworld.com/reviews/seymour-duncan-hyperswitch

QSC CSM. Nice.

I bought a Boogie D-180 which had been imported from the US. It came with step down transformer. I asked all sorts of people about ditching the transformer. No one wanted to know. Eventually I thought to ask my brother, the electrical engineer. He opened it, took a different tap off the transformer and it was all good. Moral of the story was find someone who actually wants the job. I am fully aware that I am using words I do not understand on the technical front here.

That looks VERY interesting.

Thanks both. The Rodes are probably too good for what Zoom will do to them!

Hi all, Can anyone suggest a couple of mics to use to pick up our congregation in Church for Zoom broadcasts? I am not looking for absolute top quality 414 alikes. Zoom does horrible things to the audio anyway so there is no point in ultimate fidelity. I was wondering if anyone would point to a couple of cardioid units which I could hang above the congreation. I am thinking https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_em700.htm. But am open to suggestions. TIA

I love to feel the bass resonating against me. I have sold basses which sound fantastic plugged in but have not resonated against me. Proper, proper high end stuff. It is part of the whole thing as far as I am concerned. Each to their own.

I play with someone who uses non standard tunings - but sadly, not in a good way.

Can the C9 do the bottom sound here without the top whining noise?

I could not stop myself. I watched it, and another 2. They made a lot of sense. I will be moving our subs Thanks both of you.

Thanks, I shall watch it tonight. >every time the bassist dug in or the drummer hit the kick, everything else was obliterated You say this like it is a bad thing?

What is the difference between side by side and one on top of the other? Sorry this is veering off topic, but ....yeah. The internet tells me I could just whack them all along the back wall or along the front of the stage (https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/bass-place). I know that if I were to put them in the corner at the back of the stage I would be getting additional sonic encouragement from the corner itself, but I could EQ that out. Given time to set up with some permanent EQ plumbed in, would that be so bad in a permanent install? TIA

My friend bought a DB from their bassist. He was a nice guy.

I have dealt with BB twice, the first one went without a hitch. There was a problem with the 2nd one - not BB's fault or mine (too tedious to go into here). BB handled it magnificently. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I like that a lot.

With regard to reading/teaching notation, I do not think it is a prerequisite. I no longer teach in any meaningful way, but the amount of students I taught to read was not huge at all. It was just not on their radar and not something they would need. They wanted to play songs they knew. This could be done with TAB (not for me) or getting them to read chord charts for pitch and using their ears for rhythm. This enabled them to start playing their stuff and begin to play with their mates. In general I would let them choose what they wanted to play, occasionally guiding them. This made for motivated players. As they developed then some eventually looked at notation. Don't get me wrong, I believe that reading notation is a very good thing, but certainly, if you were teaching beginners then it is not an issue. Enthusing them is MUCH more important. And if they do power ahead and need notation, then pass them on (or use the time to get up to speed on notation).

I recorded 5 DI boxes I owned (no, I don't know either). One was the BSS we all know and love, one was the Behringer we see everywhere. To all intents and purposes I could hear no difference between those two. There was an old, knackered cheap one in the mox which turned out to be not nice, but otherwise they were much of a muchness.

TBF, he is not wrong. I have played it and it is a thing of joy.

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about the fretless.

Plugging into a desk can be fine and dandy. However, a piezo DB pickup with no buffer, going into a line level jack socket will sound horrible. This would be MUCH less of an issue for a passive electric bass but I would not automatically expect THE TOOOOONE! An active bass would be a safer bet.

The BC way this not is.

Is it possible to set up an alert if someone posts an advert for that thing I have always fancied?
