I agree it sounds better with a light touch. I also noticed the pickups seem relatively immovable. I'm going to have to try again when I can take the strings off and have the option of checking out the foam or whatever is under them. I'm just trying to understand peoples' reactions to the...

I was just saying there is a grind, so that's good to know someone agrees. I go direct and we use a split snake so nothing the sound guy does is reflected in what we hear. I think if I were using an amp the bass would be too much, but it actually isn't that overwhelming. in no way am I...

I came to ask a question regarding the cirrus sound. I was ready to make the Cirrus my go to bass and what’s happened is several people’s comments have made it clear that it is perceived as “light on the bass” or grindy in a weird way. I think I know what they mean, and I think it is the note...

It’s not an LLC though? Ours is very similar, but an LLC which people seem to say makes it easiest.

Yeah, I’ve actually seen that practice used in an extremely coercive manner and it’s a nightmare. Singers usually believe they are really important (and often they are, but…). And when we split evenly we range from 60 to 5 or 6 hundred per person, per gig, so a flat rate would be hard to...

I put a warmoth neck on a squier affinity jazz body and the fit was off in an odd way. I wouldn’t say bigger or smaller, but the angles were slightly different. It played fine but I wouldn’t have kept it because it visibly didn’t fit quite right and it would have bothered me. The cnc work on...

There is one good demo of the variax where he plays songs that were played to good effect on all of the modeled basses (like roundabout for the rick) and I don’t know that it sounds exactly like any particular bass in a song, but has the unmistakeable flavor of the instruments it is modeled to...

I just want to thank you all for this discussion. It was interesting. I’ve been in a band that is an LLC for about 8yrs. And we all get equal shares and the LLC doesn’t own anything. I feel like our bandleader is completely trustworthy, so I don’t worry about it. Has filing taxes as a...

You've got a faraday bowl. I just run a strip of copper tape from the cavity to where it would touch the shielding on the pickup guard when I put it on, even though it should be taken care of by knobs etc.

Sweet! That makes me completely happy with what I have, which is great. Thank you for the settings, I think I found them on a facebook page. They were great to give me a start, and I think the only thing I changed was a little hpf depending which bass I’m using and the attack a little slower...

Awesome, thanks. I put a new 12ay7 tube in my The Watt and it seems to be working correctly now. I like the gain level better than the 12at7 that was in it. I only had time to play with it for a few minutes, but it seemed I was starting to hear a little overdrive at about half gain, which was...

I know this is boring but, worth replacing this?: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0051MOJ86?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 edit: ***, I'm not an amazon associate, and it will never be available to buy again anyway :laugh:

Would this work for a power supply for The Watt, and would it be better quality than a onespot? I know it is for a different product, but it sure seems like it might work. Since it comes with a product, and they sell replacements, it makes me wonder. I’m not daisy chaining or anything, fwiw.

I figure you’d have to drill but this might be the closest thing, and it’s Gotoh so it fits the brand. Less modern looking I guess though...
