    That picture is giving me anxiety. Gravity never takes a rest.

    I am PAINFULLY aware of the piezo into a front end which is not high impedance. Nothing is quite as sad as an unbuffered Double Bass piezo. What I was enquiring about was what Audere offer in some of their on board preamps. I had an Audere once. It had some kind of impedance switching option. It was utterly bonkers, in a good way. All I know is that when I flicked that switch back in the day all sorts of super gnarly stuff happened which was very attractive. Not just LF, but grunt and edge. I should have left the bass as it was, but........ you know how it is....... It could just have been a level rise which in turn drove the front end of the amp harder. It could have been how the preamp was interacting with that specific pickup (also long gone).

    That brush work is not hurting things for the overall vibe.

    FWIW, I have come into the Sadowsky camp in the past 2 years. It just sounds right.

    Correct! My wife worries about my lack of detail as well. So does my boss actually.

    The answer is no. I guess I will have to look for someone in the US to be my friend.

    Now I know But unless I ask, I just will not know. Thanks.

    Can you take the foam off and put other things there? I messed with felt once and it was different from foam. Just wondering.

    I will freely admit to have no idea what is going on here. A long time ago I had and Audere preamp in a bass. It had some jiggery-pokery going on where you could change the impedance the pickups were seeing (I think, but as I mentioned above.......). What this did was create some BONKERS LF boost. I miss it. I plugged it into a Berg IP 2x 1 x 12 stack in the first Bassbash I went to and eybrows went up when I flicked that switch. I went to look at their website to buy one. They will not ship outside the US. So. is this something which could be done using off the shelf parts by someone who knows what they are doing in a passive circuit? Or is this an active thang? TIA

    It does not look like it. I wonder if the impedance switching thing is something which can be replicated seeing as I cannot actually buy one. I shall go and ask on the Repairs and Technical forum.

    No international shipping for Audere

    Modern Drummer - 1989 "A good drummer that I like who plays simply is Phil Gould, who used to be with Level 42. He plays very simple, R&B-influenced drumming, but when he pulls a fill out it'll be a beautiful fill. And his feel is great. If you try to tap along with their downbeat-on-the-3 type of songs, you'll just about break your hand trying to come down behind the beat as much as he does. He has that feel down so well. It's very satisfying for me to listen to from a drummer's point of view or from a music fan's point of view. It feels great, has tremendous authority, and has the spice of a great little fill leaping out of it."

    Bass guitar = moderately painful. Double Bass = a whole world of pain. My wife is a harpist. She used to do the meths/white spirit things. I never saw it do anything.

    Phil Gould has a lovely groove to everything he does.

    Super glue. A few drops of liquid ona piece of paper. Run the affected area on it. Let it dry. Enjoy the gig.

    Ah well. They are lovely, lovely cabs
  22. Owen
    We are all shallow enough to understand this. If I was buying a cab now I would be all over the Greenboy cab in the classifieds. Drive with any amp you fancy.
