  1. Nice one! I had no idea there was a reason those twin sheaths are staggered in the strip back. Every day a school day.
  2. Talkbass basses for sale has filters for 4 and 5+ strings as well as lefty. I think the search will find all semi-acoustic electro-acoustic just with searching on acoustic. There's always the Wanted section but afaik it's still unbumpable, except for moderators.
  3. That's some pretty exotic tapping. I now have precisely no idea what's problematic. Do over time. If you play it and report which notes have buzz maybe all will become clear.
  4. I think your upper might be everyone else's lower???
  5. Worth it to who? It works for a couple or three generations of GK users and others with that architecture. Not my first choice.
  6. Post here used to chuck your stuff on a shelf and send you a letter of demand on behalf of Customs, all for free. Then the volumes got out of control and they realised what a racket they had been missing out on. Booh.
  7. The worst night playing covers you don't particularly care for beats the hell out of sitting in front of the TV, or most desk jobs.
  8. A GK MB500 would lighten your load and dead simple to do a little brighter than flat EQ. Flat being 10, 2, 1, 10 o'clock, bass >> treble.
  9. The Toorak Hotel sounds like it should belong next to an opal field in deepest outback Australia.
  10. I received a custom bass from the luthier in its case, secured with liberal duct tape. He was adamant it was the best way, as to encourage couriers to take care.
  11. I used to run a big board. To get around the low end loss I split the signal after the octave, high and low and put the highs through the other fx before blending back. Prunes and Custard figured highly in faux synth stuff. Also octave fuzz envelope combinations.
  12. A highpass filter can let you load up on power into low low mids with the bass knob, while not getting boomy or breaking speakers.
  13. News to me. I have always used a credit card, which is 0.03''!
  14. I would raise the saddles until it stops with the buzzing. It won't take much as you are almost there already.
  15. Typical for a flatter than a flat thing but not typical.
  16. 0.3mm or 3mm? 0.3mm is pretty much flatter than a flat thing! Then 2.5mm of action is just a bit ambitious. Making it flatter still won't help. If 3mm of relief then 2.5mm of action does not compute.
  17. I spoke too soon. This just keeps giving, over and over. I could have sworn I heard a dark voice telling me I need something harder.
  18. Bizzare. No further instances have occurred since last week when I was seeing it left and right for a few hours.
  19. I would call that the only way to set the action. 1 Set Relief. 2 Set Saddle Heights. Job done.
  20. SoundCloud is handy for this kind of thing. It opens up direct in the forum page like YouTube.
  21. A credit card with the strings fretted at both ends, but I sold it in a fit of reductionism.
  22. Dunno, but this was big news some years ago: https://www.wired.com/2008/07/new-youtube-aud/
  23. Consumers deciding between otherwise equal offerings lead spreadsheet manglers by the nose straight to the door labeled 'cheapest good components'.
