Well i wonder if there is anyone around in this thread to read this but I wonder what you opinions are. We play rock music with my band, our sound is (ought to be) something like Rival Sons or LEd Zeppelin. We mostly play pubs that have a room like 10m x 10m if not smaller, not much more than 50...

I do not have a big concert routine. With my current band, we have had 5-10 gigs in small clubs (twice the size of a living room) with the audience already a bit high on booze. There was a gradual improvement in how we could play together as a band and how I could play my parts, so I have been...

:) possible, but it is not the solution I found; when I did it with a dpdt, there was a possible (switch position) constellation when there was no output signal, so that was not good. The way that worked for me was with a 3pdt in any case.

The way I did my series-parallel switch is the following: it does not matter whether there is a an M/N or A/C pot or a Les Paul switch for pu selection when the series-parallel swithc is in series position, it overrides the M/N or A/C pot or the Les Paul switch. The pu's are connected series...

Just a quick note here. I had also thought a blend+volume combo would be better than vol+vol. I put an M/N (as it is called here) pot in my bass and I saw it was good. However, after a while, I saw that I did not very much need the delicate adjustments I can do with the blend. I tried replacing...

This is not a reply to the original post, just a little addition to the talk about this rare speaker. I saw one of these in the classified ads here and this thread helped me to decide to buy it or not. I bought it and I did not regret. I think it is for a bass guitar and I like its sound. I just...

Well, thanks for all the replies. In the meanwhile they answered, and actually confirmed this. Initially, they were 150/300 watts then 200/400 watts. I tested mine with an amplifier that has an output of 200W@4ohms. So I suppose it gave 110-120 watts to the Scorpion, which is 8 ohms. I did not...

Hello guys. I have sent a mail to Peavey about this but they did not reply so maybe someone here knows the answer. I have a 20-30 yr old TKO 80 bass combo equipped with a 15" Scorpion speaker. I am interested in driving its speaker with a higher wattage power amp. Here are two photos about it...

I put a parallel-series switch on my Jazz Bass. I made a rough measurement with my limited tools and observed a ~6dB increase in the signal level and the tone characteristic (frequency response) also changed, resulting in a more fat tone. I use this as a last resort boost method when we play...

I use software (Finale notepad) to write down the songs in standard notation. The fact that it can play back my notation is very good for me to listen and to reassure me that I am on the right path. I agree with the previous posts that it is particularly interesting with rhythms. When I have...

I had an audition a few months ago (and then one more a few weeks later to the same band) and I eventually made it. I was not the best best and not the worst player, somewhere inbetween. But counting in the personal factor they said they were not very sure about me, but they were ok to give it a...

I brought a bass from the US to Europe on the airplane by unscrewing the neck. I carried the body in the backpack and the neck in my hand onboard. I understand you are not travelling yourself, but maybe it is not a sin to do this if the bass is transported as a parcel. It is a much smaller pack...

Anyone who ha taken the course - for how long time are the discussion forums available after the course is finished? There is so much value in them but I will not be able to read it all in the upcoming 3-4 weeks.

Yes. I signed up and on one hand I see this is overwhelming, on the other hand I may have good inspiration and orientation as to what to study for a year or so. Thanks for encouraging. Regarding the improvisation excerise for example, I want to first understand the chords throroughly, then...

This is my first post to TB, so far I have been reading only :) This course got me very excited. A topic that I have been more and more interested recently. I have found the chitchat of students of this course from an earlier occasion: Invalid Link Removed I wonder if I should sign up though -...
