Sorry, but what genius has added a pickup ashtray to the spec? The site example has a nice figured maple top, and they’ve drilled in the thing that 90% of people remove! 🙄 Si

At this point I'd be looking at getting a different cab lol Si

As has been mentioned, only you can get out and see what works for you. There is no ‘science’, some people shred on chunky old bassball bat necks, some people lay down thick greasy grooves on a tiny thin necks.....there is no rule of thumb. From my experience, it’s more about the instrument than it is my preference. I have P necks, J necks (i’ve no idea what the profiles are) , asymmetric profiles, a shortscale. They’re all comfortable after a very short period, and they all do different things, so I accept them. Si

My dad swiped me 2 x 270p from work, so I actually just need a single 300p now lol. I have two 150's, but if I can avoid doing the parallel thing I will. That said, it's hardly worth the price of a stamp. Meh lol Si

Yup! Si

All good, no rush, if you remember on Saturday....let me know Cheers Si

I don't suppose anyone has 2 x 270pf & 1 x 300pf ceramic caps hanging around do they? Building a Brutalist Jr. Cheers Si

Doesn’t affect me apparently. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Si

It is annoying when kids get excited about music isn’t it! Si

I moved away from the Ashdown 4x8 many years ago for this reason, that said, my old 4x8 was rear ported?! Although I was always doing gigs where having my cab as flat to the wall as possible was necessary, so may as well have been sealed. Just front ported cabs for me now. Si

Just in case you haven’t twigged, what your drummer doing is proper weird! If you’re doing gigs that require the kick to be amplified, you should have a PA to accomodate it. If the size of gig doesn’t require it, they should have gear that is balanced and sounds good. Quiet kick? Get a bigger kick or whatever. Si

I don’t think there’s any issue, any post about a given product will always draw comparisons with other products, very very normal. Si

Bass Collection Jive, fantastic for the money! Here’s my fretless: And can be heard here: Si

Yeah it’s just a Fender, mid to late 70’s probably, not sure about it being early 80’s, but maybe. That’s just how the lefty logo was at that time. Si

- Lakland 44-94 - Lakland 44-64 (on order, should arrive November) - Lakland 55-01 - Fender ‘71 Precision - Fender Mustang - ACG Krell 6er - Bass Collection Jive Fretless That is everything i’ll ever need......certainly for my year of purchasing abstinence anyway haha Si

Very interesting, there was thinking it was all relatively above board (which it is now anyway). Every day is a school day! Cheers Mick. Si

😂 Get it all in, just over 2 months to go. Si

Gross

Are we seriously suggesting that at this point in her career, Tal isn’t aware or capable enough to source a bass that is perfectly comfortable for her? Is the boob ‘hanging over the top’ awkward/uncomfortable for her.....or for you? Why is it even mentioned if not by her? Si

Hang on now, you have to be careful with your language here. The shape was officially licensed by Warwick, nothing wrong with that! Si

Maybe, but remember that we're looking at this through the eyes of bassists, our live (and often studio) world is all about 'DI'. All of Line6 stuff is squarely aimed at guitarists, we're an afterthought. As such, guitarists are simply interested in Send/Returns and instrument outs, simple because in a live environment their cab is usually mic'd. Yes there are other use cases, some guitarists like to DI with in-ears etc etc, but they really are fringe use cases. So from a guitarist point of view, XLR is wasted real-estate and eating a few pence per unit into their revenue. Si

This is covered extensively in the rest of the thread if you want to give it a read. TL;DR The outputs of the stomp can be switched to line-level (as opposed to instrument level), and are balanced. ie you can easily run line-level to an appropriate line-level input over long distances, or instrument level to an appropriate input. Doesn't help if you want a DI out whilst also running to an amp however, unless you run a dual mono output with one side going to your amp and one side going to a mic (XLR) input of a desk via a 1/4" to XLR cable. Convoluted but doable it seems. Personally I wouldn't bother and just run mono out of the pedal into a DI box, with a thru from that to my amp. Si

The pictures above aren’t of the actual thing, just of other bags in the range (Guitar, full size bass etc), the actual shortscale is here: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/accessories/gig-bags/fbss-610-short-scale-bass-gig-bag/0991521206.html Si

Your computer or DAW (in this case Reaper) will have zero effect on the tone of anything. And so, I suspect, as someone else has mentioned, that you’re playing it through soeakers/headphones that are less than optimal?! Si
