Oh it's gone. I haven't got time for that. My Barefaced comments aren't opinions. They are tangible observations - unless of course, your eyes are deceiving you and the tolex isn't peeling.

Go to university. Yeah, you may be one of those "sad peeps" that hang out at the library - but that's because you have lived in the real world and got acclimatised to the idea of work and maybe the 9 to 5. You are there because you want to be there for the qualification, not the lifestyle... like a lot of students do. Treat it like a job and you'll come out on top. Get equipped with the qualifications and you'll stand out at in interview as somebody that has shown willingness to learn and improve. Although it does sadden me that to be a burger flipper nowadays requires a degree

The advert from Scott which riled me is when he started dissing on Youtube. Not too long ago he was singing the praises of Youtube and the wealth of information available to you for free.

Try some Mark King tape.

What I'd do, is get something from here - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/power-supplies-transformers/power-supplies-psus/desktop-power-supplies/?applied-dimensions=4292047580,4293173709 This will do you - https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/desktop-power-supplies/7212109 (Ashdown pedal requires 300mA so it's 830mA capacity is more than enough) And get a DC polarity converter cable (as Ashdown pedal requires centre negative and all these will be centre positive). Then you can get as long a IEC mains cable as you need.

Ah, that would explain why some bass players wear gloves. Leave no prints and all that.

Sounds like Santa!

Are you using just this pedal, or a number? I’d say a block PSU next to the pedal with a long trailing mains cable would be the way to go?

Fieldy. (Sounds goddam awful)

Seems a shame to run in mono if you have a X32…. You could always run two… with each half doing one side of each of your IEMs. If you are already running mono, no great shakes. The gotchas are obviously the cumulative latency. With your wireless bass (what are you using nowadays?) helix (or whatever digital pedals you currently have on your board), x32 and xvive, you could be hitting some high latency figures. You may feel the delay in your playing to what you are hearing. You probably have heard the improvement that the P1 gives you over the LD… and going digital will give you that more wired sound for cheaper than the ew300 and psm900 but it’s all academic if there’s too much latency there. Let’s figure out what you got - tell me your signal chain.

Whats the use case. 3m is unlikely on thin DC (presumably) lead as it will be subject to voltage drop.

🥳

You're not trying hard enough then.

Tell them that you want an aux (or pair of auxes) on XLRs run to wherever you are on the stage. Of if they haven't got the means to do that, you'll have to give them the transmitter and they'll babysit that from the desk (at least they can see they aren't overloading it then).

I just thought you were Brian Badonde asking for some veg.

That's the thing. I don't even use EBS. It's a big trick. The freak bit is probably true though.

Man, if you think that's bullying, you should try posting some observations on a barefaced thread as ebs_freak and see how you many sharp tongues you are on the end of...

I seem to recall that it was all about Aguilar and Sei Jazz basses.... monitored through D&B wedges. Anything else was just piffle. I'm surprised he even played about with Bergs.

Yeah - mismatched... although it's going to be causing the amp more problems than your IEMs as your IEMs aren't going to present a high enough load out on the output transformer of the headphone amp. The Powerplay 8 is designed for in the studio where they are expected to be used with say 250Ohm over ears. Solve the problem by just getting a P2 for your setup and ask if you can plug into that.

The video is... interesting.

I don't think anybody thought he was anything but an OK guy. He wasn't exactly hounded off the forum. People called out his fantasy BS... and he just kept digging further. He saw his own way out rather than admit he was not living the rock star life he was portraying.

Ah yes, I remember his infamous gig strides. I miss him. Legend has it, he's now working for MI5. I wonder if The Tickled Trout are aware of their infamous presence on this forum?

They asked to be... or they asked for it?

I do a pair of overheads on the drums as I run all the IEMs in stereo. Mic stands boomed over top of kit. Remember to measure the mics to be equidistant from the snare to avoid phasing issues.

I suspect it's got more to do with Jeff than the bass then anything. Put Jeff on most things and he would sound great, he's a killer player. If you think about it, there's no reason why that bass shouldn't be quality. It's Cort - who make the cheaper range basses for lots of notable companies. It's a CNC bass, so it doesn't really matter where the machine is located, it's going to cut wood the same. Even if it's not playing great out of the factory (I think they are pretty good from what I'm aware of), a quick look over and fret dress by a decent luthier will get the thing playing amazing. I suspect Jeff's personal basses would have been subject to such predelivery attention. That particular model bass comes with a nice set of Bartolini's on it... which is going to help more than most nameless pickups that appear in the competition. And lets to forget, hardware wise, it's loaded with Hipshot (maybe the licensed ones, not too sure) and a Babicz bridge - so nothing shoddy on that front. So yeah, its probably a step up from most jazz basses, especially at that price - just won't have the name on the headstock bragging rights or resale value.
