    String lube: Any homemade recipes?

    Well, including the OP and myself, you can now bring that grand total to 3! And I actually learned about FastFret in the first place from another bass player, so make it 4.

    String lube: Any homemade recipes?

    All these comments about using food grease (including human derived fluids) miss one of the most important aspects of String Lube, which is that it actually cleans out the windings of your strings - restoring brightness - unlike all these suggestions which will actually clog - and thus deaden -...

    So, anyway, moving right along, how ‘bout that new Squier Paranormal Precision?

    Wouldn't that be at the 24th fret location? This looks more like 22nd...

    Sorry, not Rick related I know, but what’s the story on the murdered out FSO there?

    Is this a real Rickenbacker 5 strings?

    Admittedly I’ve never played one, but aesthetically? Hard disagree.

    New Design In Development-Completely Reimagined Sitting Posture

    I mean if you ditch the mechanism and just leave the lower bout deployed, the body shape is super close to an Iceman. I know a body shape is a pretty hard thing to actually patent and successfully make money off of, but maybe some company would buy it off you for some small one time fee.

    Swapped tube in Markbass Compressore and now phase is reversed?

    @Wasnex thanks for comfirming my suspicion. Just to confirm for anyone who was wondering, putting the old tube back did in fact NOT have any impact on the phase of the output signal. I went one level deeper and compared my recorded tone to stuff I had recorded before doing the tube swap (same...

    Swapped tube in Markbass Compressore and now phase is reversed?

    So I’ve got a split and mix situation going on on my pedalboard: crossover pedal splits out the highs and lows, the lows go only through a Markbass Compressore while the highs go through a bunch of other nonsense before both signals join at an Xotic X-blender, and then the mono signal goes out...

    37" F#0 intonation

    I suspect this is your issue. I’ve never tried to tune to F# on a 37” but I have tried to drop tune a B to an A on a 34” without changing string gauge and it didn’t work out for me, just not enough tension on the string. Also, don’t forget that with that much mass you have to account not just...
