    Everything Leo did was a response to what he felt bassists wanted (i.e. would buy) he wasn't a bass player so didn't gave a personal perspective to impose 😁

    One band the vocalist (who has a huge complex pa) is paranoid about drum spill and says the sm58 isn't directional enough to set a noise gate low enough. But he'll provide a supercardiod in future. Other band, main vocalist uses a Senheisser but the rest of uscare fine with SM58s. I suspect their reputation is somewhat soiled by poor copies.

    On the battery hatch for my sire, I removed it, screwed the screws back in, flush. Then I drilled out the holes in the hatch a little and superglued in small magnets.

    I still feel guilty about getting a Thunder 1 at a knockout price from @stewblack. I see them being advertised (not sure about sold) for twice the price or more. But as I'm congeitally incapable if selling a bass...

    Steel case. The obvious solution is two strips with big neodymium magnets set in them.

    In theory, you could wire one up to a dsp and Toneprint and have a control with multiple detents to give you a whole set worth of sounds.

    Is it a courgette?

    I didn’t want to share names... Drummer asks to confirm what song he should be learning, then asks for a link to the correct version.

    Snippet from our band chat. 'nuff said?

    The art of depping is to learn the songs, but be able to deal with key changes or structure differences on the hoof. The first takes discipline, the second is a skill best developed by joining in at jam sessions.

    If you can dep, you know how to prep!

    Works for me... I hate the feel of flats, so I rarely play them, and they last ages! 😁

    Dovetail 🙂

    I am waiting for someone to tell me that when I'm tuning one of my basses with reverse machine heads.

    Rehearsal is about arrangements and fluency. Even the originals band, we share stripped down versions to learn new songs, although there is experimenting. So last night we mostly were sorting out where to put stops, how many repeats etc., but on one song we made some rhythm changes that affected what I play.

    That's what I said...

    Ons of my bands we have the blessing of a singer with enough range that he sings everything in the original key. More troubling is We Gotta Get Out Of this Place played in B/Alice Cooper style by one band and C/Animals by the other. I've managed to start in the wrong key with both bands.

    That's an 'I change my strings for every gig' tone

    Lol I had a Peco Big Bore back box on my Manta 😁

    I suspect I overthink things sometimes...

    Emergency capo tonight.

    And Stradivarius woild have made his violins from carbon fibre reinforced plastic composites.

    The hardest thing to get good results from is a sweepable mid. The problem is the ear tends to hear any change as an 'improvement' and you can go in circles. Also in a soundcheck situation, other band members are unlikely to have the patience for you to seek the ideal tone...

    As the designer you will have the understanding needed to get the best from them. If mire active basses were truly 'flat' with all controls centred and had less aggressive cut and boost than is typical, then they would be easier to use for the average owner.

    And that huge empty section... move the vips to one side and bring the audience within 6 feet of the stage and you could drop the volume by 10dB too.
