Owen

I tune a 36" Overwater neck through 6 string to F#. This is my second try at it (don't ask). The first OW 6 to F# was better. Regrets? I have a few. However, it works and serves the purpose I want. It melts my head when I am reading, but that is my problem not yours. Get Mr Newtone to wind you some strings and see what happens.

No pressure there.

Not as much as Frank is

I did clock two links but did not actually read them to differentiate! Duuuuuuuur.

Thank YOU! I am always interesed in things to clean up vocals. I have been doing a lot of editing of people filming themselves in totally innapropriate acoustics on their phones for lockdown church stuff. I would be lost without the entry level Izotope stuff.

Crisp! A lot of us are looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I know everyone else knows. But I downloaded it only to discover that it is Windows only. It was exciting while it lasted

That is a healthy attitude. And one I should adopt. But all my gear buying and selling over all the years has been virtually cost neutral given that it is a market I actually know very well. So diving into bass kit which will inevitably depreciate is a bit counter intuative for me. I fund the next thing by selling one of the present things. If the next thing depreciates then I cannot sell it to get the next, next thing. I seriously need to get out more.

I have already felt your pain!

<sigh> I kind of run scared from this stuff because a friend traded a nice black Gibson 335 many years ago for whatever the latest rack mount Digitech (IIRC) thing was. Of course the Digitech was worth next to nothing 4 years later. I know that the technology is not the same. I know that the business model is built on developing and tweaking. So given the kit I can shift I can afford one. And yet, I am nervous. <sigh> Gregor has not helped.

I discussed it with my brother who borrowed it from me on occasion. He remembered it as being not light. I have rose tinted lenses on and remember it as being fabulous in all ways. As I do with virtually everything I have sold ever.

They went into a Tokai Fretless Jazz (Jaco alike) which was painted with not Nitrocellulose. I knew so little back in the day that I reliced it by banging it on the road. Obviously this did not go well. This was the first in a long line fretlesses which prove I cannot play fretless (the latest being a really nice ACG). I eventually sold it to a guy in Dublin and took the ferry from Holyhead to deliver it. It was a different time.

It all seems so easy

I was young and very stupid. If I remotely played 4 stringers I would buy it back just to apologise to it.

I am very glad that is not a 5er.

If the Big Al has the Bongo EQ, I could totally go for a Big Al.

I have, but Art is a bit higher than I can aspire to!

From what I recall, they are not particularly arco friendly. Sorry, this is a very slippery rabbit hole.

What strings are you using. Not all strings are equal once the bow comes to play.

Nope, it was entirely clear

I was discussing the ACG filter preamp with Skelf the other day (as you do) and, for the record, he said that it has no baked in tone.

Lovely honest piece of wood.

I am hoping for maximum phatness.

I did a thing

Behringer P2. I think.
