For a first bass, PJ vs JJ wont matter. My advice is to make your life simpler by picking a passive 4 string bass. Buy something you wont be afraid to abuse. Scratches and dents are a fact of life. You want to learn to set it up yourself. Find a way to play practice with headphones. Bass...

It also helps if guitar hero doesnt overdo the rhythm parts, so there is less of a contrast when he goes solo. Sometimes a trio is about rearranging stuff. Consider a used multifx to experiment with. Something you can later sell without a loss.

IME, a little overdrive goes a long way.

Hi! Does anyone know what the slope on the hi-pass / low-pass filters is? I couldn't find the info on the user manual, I am guessing it is 12dB/octave? I am considering using the ampero as an active crossover for biamping, anyone done that? Is it even possible?

Would it be ok with the BL for any other band member to write a complete song with full parts for all instruments?

I don't see how this would be different from buying ad time on radio / television / google ads / whatever, or even paying google to promote your youtube videos. They can make you reach a certain demographic with some certainty of that demographic paying a lot of attention to you. This is worth...

I fully understand, and agree with, the spirit of your message. I am not fooling myself into thinking I can build a cab as good as one that has been engineered by a pro. Nor do I think that I am learning everything there is to know about cab building by engaging in this very simple project. And...

People mostly react if they believe they have some form of control over it.

Actually, if you are doing it right, they won't ;)

It does indeed. I didn't see it before because of the HPF. When I turn off the HPFs from the simulation, this is what WinISD simulates: The air speed basically doubles when 1 port is plugged. But the HPF protects me from this effect: I added the HPF to the model to prevent cone excursion...

+1 headphones. As an electric bass player, you are a member of a very small group of musicians who have the option to never annoy your neighbors.

Stunning!

I forgot to attach the air velocity graph, I am sorry: I think since the tuning with a single port is so low (34Hz) and I am modeling in WinISD with a HPF (butterworth, order = 4, 43Hz) most of the energy generated by the port is actually wasted, and the wind velocity stays low(ish). This...
