My first two initials wordified.

Looks like Kala, Glarry, and Kala are the ones to check out. Thanks everyone!

My 8 year old son has been asking to learn bass. I'm not confident this is going to be something that takes but I would very much like to encourage him to do so. What are some inexpensive options in the short scale world these days? I'd rather not drop Fender Mustang money on this, plus I think...

I generally do not rehearse with most acts I work with (like maybe 75% of the time sans rehearsal). I get a song list, learn it/chart it and show up to the show ready to go. Studio work it is even more rare for me to rehearse with the artist beforehand.

I've got a nordy 5 I freaking love but I'm not sure he's making new P's any longer. Probably need to go used there. Played a friend's Moollon 4 with a J neck recently and I warned them I was seriously considering stealing it, lol. That thing was pretty freaking amazeballs.

Nice. I could see being happy with this as a main breadwinner. How does it feel ergonomically? I've played a couple but never on stage standing with a strap. I've airways felt like they might neck dive.

I watched a relatively established band do this once on stage. There's a reason you don't see it done much. It doesn't work very well. At all.

The Empress has a color switch. It works as intended when it is on.

My influences are the people I play on stage with. I get more ideas from and am forced to grow more by them than anything I listen to passively. Also, Chris Woods.

Agree on the compression comments. Also, yes it sounds nice. Now I want to use the compression knob on my fishman next gig instead of ignoring it....

Well it only felt like a widely large gap because it was a widely large gap. That's like what? Damned near 4 octaves?

Probably a pointless question, but have you run your quad cortex into another rig/powered speaker/whatevs to verify that the issue isn't that rather than the powered speaker. I mean, thin tone was exhibited twice and a bad quad cortex ought to be ruled out so that it is a constant and not a...

Just lost the drummer in my main act this past Saturday night to cancer. It does indeed suck. Godspeed Donny.

Puts on nerd glasses.... "Well Actchually...." Area = pi * r^2. Given that we are comparing we can factor out pi since it is present in both numbers. So compare 3* 5^2 = 75 vs 2* 6^2 - 72. So you are only 3 better. Although none of that accounts for how much the speaker actually displaces so...

My first bass was an unlined fretless. Even more difficult, it was a short scale making the region of the fingerboard where acceptable intonation could be found for each note. Even worse, the position markers were not in a place that related to where the actual note was. I found a way to make it...
