BassChat composition challenge March 2025 There's a very non-benign alien secured in the lab. We found an annoying frequency that it doesn't like either. It's dark sticky mass squirms in discomfort until it expires. Or does it... And, yes, I did watch Venom recently! 12 string guitar (GS-1) and fretless bass through NuX Mighty Plug Pro, Gretsch drums, Vintage UK Rogers snare

This used to be called motorboating iirc. I'm guessing it's caused by a defective capacitor on a power supply somewhere.

Good to know. Didn't have much joy with just turmeric.

Another good addition to the Hohner and probably Overlord headless bridges is to use Helicoil or Recoil stainless inserts. I've repaired a couple of bridges ( one for someone on here) where the threads had stripped. This also yielded a much smoother tuning experience. The cast bridge material is quite soft but the stainless insert will last longer than the owner! They're definitely metric, m3 iirc.

The Höfner tone knobs work "backwards " compared to just about every other manufacturer, just saying, if you're after authenticity. 10 is bassy, 1 is trebbly.

Did you consider fitting a pre-amp instead?

What are the issues with it?

Interesting. Perhaps he is more tuned in to the outcome you were all hoping for/expecting?

Sorry, missed this, on holiday. Probably too late but: https://bigstirrecords.bandcamp.com/track/where-are-the-living This is a home recording done on a Zoom r24 so the raw recording is what it is, but the label seemed happy with it.

Tim Turan is the go-to guy for many. https://www.turanaudio.co.uk/clients

Thanks everyone! I've been thinking about the photo and this came to mind. I was working a short contract in Oxford with a group who make instruments for satellite and lander missions and had a spell in the clean room. I thought this could suggest more sinister stories though...

I haven't listened yet, but that's quite some build-up!
