    From Bass Rigs to UFOs: I Finally Wrote the Sci-Fi/Metalhead Novel That’s Been Living in My Head for Years

    I'm confused, and I wish you all the best with the book, but your comments here feel like they're written by ChatGPT...the long ones in particular....

    Changing to BEAD - can I drill my high mass bridge?

    I was more thinking about the chrome plating than anything. I can definitely enlarge the hole, but will it be OK afterwards? I'll take another string out and see what that's like inside. It might not even be chromed for all I know!

    Changing to BEAD - can I drill my high mass bridge?

    As per the title really! The B string is too thick for the former E string hole in the tail of the bridge. Can I just drill through it or do I need to protect it afterwards? It's the Leo Quan Badass II: Allparts Leo Quan Badass II Bass Bridge | Chrome | Allparts UK Ltd I know that I also need...

    I ordered a comp and forget to asked the hive.

    I got a Cali76 earlier this week and honestly, I hated it. It added a tune tone that I couldn’t get away from, and took all the bite out of my jazz bass. I’ve sold it in for a profit! I have an EBS Multicomp, have all dials set at 12, and the active switch off despite having an active bass, and...

    It's still an option we have as I recorded straight out of my pedal board, as well as miked my cab.

    Source Audio Aftershock - is there anything it can't do??

    I think I've concluded that I need a clean boost and that the Darkglass Alpha Omicron isn't useful to me. I might give the Darkglass Harmonic Booster a go

    Well you really get foot switch one or two, and then flick the switch 1-3! I think it's manageable if you don't have to do it a lot

    Source Audio Aftershock - is there anything it can't do??

    You're right. I really like the Darkglass tone for certain things though - certainly not for everything. The Aftershock just seems to do a great job of it as well! I think it could do with having two footswitches. I really hate the way in which you switch between patches.

    Source Audio Aftershock - is there anything it can't do??

    I've had the Aftershock on my board since Christmas last year. Every time I try something else for boost/distortion, I end up thinking, "the aftershock can do this." For example, I've just added a Darkglass Alpha Omicron to my board. It's got a high end that I really like, and obviously you...

    It's so annoying. I feel pissed to be honest.

    Flea does Jaco

    A lot of people here are very binary, and many are probably a bit too stuck in their own echo chambers. There's also an abundance of knowledge here, which we all appreciate. (I'm sure you know this, just wanted to agree with you)
