    I played a song with three accordions in it last night, and survived.

    It's pretty common practice. Preamp valves don't glow, 'cos there's not enough power involved. Power amp valves do.

    Bump - now prepared to ship within the UK...
  4. wateroftyne
    Like Jamerson, Jaco and John-Paul Jones? (And probably loads of other semi-pros that start with 'J'..)

    WeTransfer will do it.

    How big are the files? WeTransfer does most of my heavy lifting. Up to 2GB is free.

    That's gorgeous! 7.9lbs? Wow...!

    Updated with accurate weight (3.8kg, 8lb 6oz).

    Have a good'un. Part of it is weaning your ears off what you're used to hearing - the zing, etc. Once you're over that, you begin to appreciate them for what they are.

    The OP is 'going back to flatwounds' which suggests he's used them previously and knows what to expect, only this time.. he's not getting it. I'm not sure your post helps a great deal.
  11. wateroftyne
    Nah.

    Has anyone used Eurosender to send a bass in a flightcase within the UK with insurance? Just wondering what a ballpark figure is...

    ^^ Also this. I always screw the pickups down fairly low - it seems to take a lot of the 'gonk' out of the attack.
  14. wateroftyne
    Any chance of a recording? Are you playing fairly hard? Maybe try raising your action a bit.
  15. wateroftyne
    Normally I'd consider it, but I need cash for a new laptop 😞

    From the weight, I'm assuming Alder.

    Hey gang! I'm selling my 1972 Fender Precision. It in its original black custom colour, with a maple neck. The previous owner bought it new in 1972 in California, and in the early 80's did the usual 'upgrades' to the bridge, pickguard, pickups & wiring. I've since re-replaced them with repros from Limelight, to restore it back to its former glory. The rest is all-original. There's a small, virtually invisible repair to the finish on the top horn, performed by the legendary Dave Wilson, who also gave it a full set up. The neck is strong, the truss is good. It's a medium-light weight (3.8kg, 8lb 6oz), and resonant. It kind-of comes with the original case - the owner kept the Fender badge, interior, handle and latches, and adapted it into a more substantial flight case (NOTE: the actual case can be seen in photos further down the thread). Shout up if you need any more info, pics etc.

    You've really set the bar low there, etc.

    Holy mother of God! Who signed that off??

    Mrs. WoT & I have been known to chat occasionally outside of the gig environment. One chap I gig with a lot is my best pal, and has been since we were kids - most of the other people I gig with are friends who I'm happy to socialise with.

    It sounds to me like you’re more likely to be hitting the limitations of the cab than the amp.
  22. wateroftyne
    Yep, The WB-100 can be carried one-handed for a fair distance.
  23. wateroftyne
    The WB-100, however...!
  24. wateroftyne
    I don’t use it. If FOH want to do it, they’re welcome to.
  25. wateroftyne
    Right, I've relented and booked tickets for the Seconds Out tour next year. Mind, I've just watched a few more clips from 2019 and that drummer is jarring...
