I know this is an old post, but I just picked up an EWS BMC2.Is the BMC the same things as the mid control on the Tri-Logic III? Or does one have a better sound?
I thought that Oregon or the USA requires warrantees to be minimum 1 year.They only warranty the repair and parts for 90 days...
So do I!My grandmother had a tiled bathroom in that color.
I think it depends on how the finish aged. Examples both vintage and RI'd are all across the board and some look better than others.But the Avocados were slightly bad in the guacamole. Thus more tan than green tint.
I don't like it on the Coronado,.but love.it on Strats 'n' Teles.
Did you do the one given to Steve Harris?It's legit. I am the Artist that did the Airbrushing on it for Joe, back in the day. www.voodooair.com / Gerald McLaughlin / 1-905-621-2977
I hear it’s better to use Bluetooth to D/L the snap tones/NAM files. Just ordered one and am awaiting delivery.
I have a Lane Poor MM pup in one of my Modulus Fleas and it's beefy. I have no experience with their other pickups though I am sure they are great as thre are so sought after. That said, I also really like the sound of Yamaha's stock pickups and electronics.Thanks bud! I wonder how they sound in comparison with the original stock Yamaha pups..the stock one I had was vicious
Folks say it’s nothing but a gimmick and you can do the same thing with Darkglass pedal and a stingray special. That may be true, but if a person didn’t own a stingray special, this bass would definitely make them happy. I didn’t even have to dial my tone in the other day. It was ready to go and sounded amazing.I'd still love to try one. Don't have much use for the distortion most of the time, but want to hear a 2 band preamp with the neodymium pickup
Interesting... 85 cm = 33.46", which would make it long enough for the thru-body Mustang. Fender must have changed the specs on the 5250XL at some point.I found a website saying the Fender 5250s are 32", but the Thomann website says 85 cm, a little over 33".
Thank you! I appreciate this.@Dave Siff I've dabbled in 5ths tuning but not a committed to it guy. So pardon for having my 10cents worth about those string gauges. If your happy with the lowest and highest string gauges, than a useful calculation to find the ratio between those two strings and apply it to have the remaining inner string gauges be in that ratio relationship is to
'Divide the smallest gauge by the largest gauge
and raise that to the power of 1 divided number the number of inner spaces bewteen the strings.'
So the equation for your 5 stringer would be
.020/.110=0.1818. Raise that to the power of 1 divided by 4. This gives a ratio of 0.6529. You can apply it from the largest gauge to each subsequent gauge by multiplying gauge by the ratio. Or start from the smallest gauge and multiply by the reciprocal of the ratio. In this case 1.531. Now applying that ratio to each string from smallest to largest by multiplying by 1.531 yields with rounding
F#3/.020
B2/.030
E2/.046
A1/.071
D1/.110
Obviously the exact gauge as given is not always possible for every string and one has to choose the closest gauge available in the brand and type of string desired. You can see that your 60 gauge and 85 gauge for E2 and A1 are a big departure from the ratio. A 45 sounds about right. Think of it as how E2 is on a guitar. Your .020 is common for G3 on a guitar and is a good fit for slightly downtuning without increasing the gauge in this case. Your .035 B doesn't depart from the ratio much. So prob not worth changing. So that leaves the 085 A1 string. You say you like that gauge. Nonetheless if you wanna do the ratio thing, swapping it out with an 070 is the go.
In summary. 3 of your gauges could stay in place. And replace the A and E with .070 and .045 gauges respectively.
