A little while ago I rediscovered a small bag full of components for a microphone. A high quality large diaphragm condenser insert, 1 GR resistor(!) and a FET amongst other parts. The plan was to build them into the rather nice casing for a USB condenser microphone. I never got round to it, but I just was cleaning out my bookmarks and found this: https://www.audioimprov.com/AudioImprov/Mics/Entries/2017/5/7_Schoctava%2C_a_simple_mic_circuit.html Watch this space!

If you don't need a P you haven't experienced a grumpy prostate.

That's all octave skips. Focus on just playing the one pair of notes until you can keep it going smoothly at speed, then start moving the pattern up and down the neck (think South Bank Show theme). That's where I am. My approach would be: Learn the patterns, just staying on the lowest note of each pair. Then put skips and patterns together and try the song.

The Thunder 1 on the right sounds more like a P-bass than my Precisions do.

It's not the issue he's making it out to be. The screws often lightly touch the neck pocket holes, but I've never found one where there was enough interference to stop the screws tightening properly.

Just s thought... if you want to transfer vibration a single point contact is best, not an area, I think. An area contact damps vibrations.

That horse boltedfiftybyears ago...

Elf literally fits in a (big) pocket. I found the speaker jack socket a bit too deep... I had a poorly engaged jack pop out twice, which is not good. Easily fixed by trimming it with a craft knife, but I suggest you check it to avoid warranty issues.

Nice amps, what inspired me to get a Terror. I've used it with an acoustic at a couple of 'wooden music' open mics.

Enjoy!

Who can forget Carol Black?

And really think about portability. Castors don't lift 100lb combos into the back of cars or up steps.

I thought the same. Elf through 2x8 was limp, I asked if I could try it through a decent cab. I swapped to a Ampeg portaflex 15 and it was night and day.
