Not wishing to sound patronising or dismissive, but do you guys have some idea how this 'debate' looks outside the US?

Excuse me for butting into a long running debate, but I've been following this thread intermittently for some time. Please don't take this personally, but I'm trying to work out whether you are being deliberately obtuse or you just don't get it. Other posters are talking about Music and you're...

Sold. Closing thread.

Now sold. Closing thread.

There's some good stuff on youtube. Uk based player called Dave Marks has an excellent series on walking bass, but there's loads more if you look.

A lot depends on what feels comfortable to you, but keeping the shoulder still and moving from the elbow from the angle you describe is definitely doing it the hard way as it restricts movement. Bass necks are already hard enough to get around, without imposing extra restrictions. Having...

Wal is now on hold pending a sale in the UK

Wal is now on hold pending a sale.

Been following this thread since it started, but no longer. I for one have a life outside of whether Tal Wilkenfeld can actually play her instrument (which she clearly can), and whether JB exercised good judgement in choosing her (Sales of the Ronnie Scott's CD would suggest he did - and isn't...

Greetings from a fellow Wal owner. That is a fabulous example! Good luck selling it, and have a free bump on me.

Does it for me. Isn't that why we're all here? Apart from the 'young' and 'cute' parts, that is :). Last time anybody called me cute was, er, a really, really long time ago! :D

Well yes you could, but with all due respect why would you want to? I was assuming that we're talking about real circuits that are used in real instruments, rather than creating circuits deliberately designed badly just to prove you can.

Has to be some other reason. Pickups generate a small electrical signal (varies according to the design of the pickup but is a few tens of millivolts). The electrics pass that signal on to the output. If the signal at the output jack is bigger than the one the pickups are sending, there has to...

Well I guess we can argue about output level (but then why do most amp manufacturers give you the choice of inputs with different sensitivities?); but any half decent active preamp signal will always have a better s/n ratio than a passive o/p, because they're designed that way; and are you...

Excuse me for a moment while I work out how to use the multiquote properly ......see next post
