Wish bass

A dole queue

You folks are all sour. He's found a market and he's smashing it out the park. He's a killer player and would no doubt be able to sit in on most gigs and get the job done better than most (and I would wager much better than those that are moaning about him). His style, presentation etc may not appeal to all - but the stats speak for themselves. I'm sure he's not going to lose any sleep over comments on BC. You can't really be a creator if you are going to be impacted by comments. The whole of social media is built on engagement... positive and negative. He's an entertainer... that is using bass as his gimmick. Fair play for him finding the gap in the market and exploiting it. EDIT: the fact that we are talking about it, clicking and watching - engagement - shows that Davie is winning.

Not 24v (dont feed 24v into it!) - looking at the manual, it looks like 1200mA 12v is the required draw. Less mA would be an issue - you can use an adapter with a higher mA rating and the pedal will only draw what it needs. So for example, if you used a 2000mA (2A) adapter, the pedal would only draw 1200mA worth from it, leaving 800mA headroom on the adapter. If your adapter could only supply 500mA, the pedal will attempt to draw 800mA and the adapter will not be able to supply it... and the adapter will likely get hot (and fail) pedal will likely not operate properly as under standard load, the components will require that 12v at 1200mA. It depends what your compressor is - but getting a dedicated pedal board power supply that has 12v at 1200mA is going to be expensive. As you are only using 2 other pedals, I would look at a little 9v adapter to power those (using the through on the TU3 to daisy chain power to your compressor) - and use a 12v 1.2A (preferably more, probably 1.5-2A) to power the DHA. A couple of inline transformers mean you could hide the blocks nicely under the board - or are small enough to keep on top of the board if needs be. (Just need a Y cable into the two transformers). Make sure you use get the polarity right - guitar pedals tend to me centre negative... which is not typical - so you may need a little polarity changer adapter.

Pretty much.

If it's not average for you, then make it so. The lower stage volume and dispersion of the band throughout the PA speakers will make your band sound so much better out front.

Then you know what to do!

From what you are saying, If you want a killer job and are worried about the feel, I'd go for a satin poly - it's less sticky - but at the end of the day, your fingers dont really touch the fretboard... so... For some insight, I have a polished poly finished neck on one of my basses... it doesnt register as anything different to my other non poly fingerboard basses. Where abouts are you? Give Bow Finishing a shout. I seem to recall John Shuker having done a poly fretness neck too. But the key thing is, once you've had it sprayed, you'll need it properly skimmed and polished.

Get it finished in polyester professionally. Any place that sprays poly for guitar bodies should be able to do it for you. It will then need to be radiused to ensure its flat and has no high spots... and then polished. Pedulla used to do this on their fretless basses - and they are super high respected. Looks amazing, sounds amazing and is strong. If down the line, it dulls, a bit of elbow grease and polish will bring it back fresh... or 30 seconds on a polishing wheel. This kinda thing - Of course, you can always have it polished then taken back to satin if you aren't into the highly polished look...

I thought you had a Smooth Hound? My mistake if not. Anyway, the sentence is ambiguous - it could suggest you have a unit just not the equipment to test it with. That's how I read it. Not important anyway.... just semantics. Anyway, for anybody looking to test the latency... see above!

Splitter and a stereo interface. Audacity. Measure how many ms one channel is compared to the other. Job done. You've surely got that kit? Method 2 : If you've latency free monitoring on your interface, plug the transmitter into it and then the receiver into the second channel.

Nice. That Daði Freyr knows how to right a banger of a pop track. It was never gonna win Eurovision... you know... politiks.

Umm. Kinda leaves me cold I'm afraid. Yeah, it's slap, it's got fast parts... but errm...

Absolutely - anything you can remove off the stage is going to be beneficial for the band sound. In a lot of smaller venues, electric kits are going to sound better than drum kits that are more difficult to control... volume wise. A lot of problems with feedback on stage are also down to poor mic technique. Really having the gain low and working the mic (having your lips right on the grille) will really help tighten up the sound. Less bleed again, less feedback. I think I added a section on my thoughts on all this in the last section of the opening posts. A good read if you haven't already - interested on people's thoughts on it.

Good choice, I like the M18 a lot. A solid foundation there for you! I guess that now means you are a 100% convert...?

Is that a new case? I hope so, that nail and wooden box effort was a terrible idea. That case is a nice touch. Nice work Barefaced. Oh and good to see that the typo of Nick Oliveri has been fixed.

I’d never trust anybody to have control of their own wedge. Asking for feedback central!

@Beedster's posting remains the one that got away

I'd be all over the EBS 802.

Its like a modern take on that 10cc cricket song.

Defo Hotcovers. Roqsolid are pretty pants in comparison.

It's like everything that was cool about the original.... has been zapped.

Bow finishing.

This looks great
