    Custom made Parametric EQ Advice

    Thanks for the replies. I do indeed mean a parametric EQ, not graphic. My reason for asking about those centre freqs was more because of the way my brain compartmentalizes things, it felt more precise in my head. The electronics design of the thing is no problem, just the application, ive not...

    Custom made Parametric EQ Advice

    I am building a parametric eq and at this stage adding and subtracting bands is just a matter of knowing what freq bands i want. This is something that needs experience i dont have. As a bassist what bands are most critical for me to be able to shape? Would it be feasible to take 20, 40, 80 etc...

    My New 7 String!!! *excitement!*

    It is a real shame that antonio doesnt push his quality up. If he adopted the concept of six sigma in his workshop his profits would get huge and so would his reputation, they designs are great. More playing on it shows that the frets need polishing near the edges, my forefinger skin is...

    My New 7 String!!! *excitement!*

    oh boy i already have a reputation! observations so far indicate that i am a woefully inadequate player for such a beast. On the other hand i am finding the highs on this marvelous. Strange how things work out, the high F on this sounds so amazing, very much nicer than my electric guitar I...

    My New 7 String!!! *excitement!*

    Bought this for the ridiculous price of $350 from a guy on ebay. The work is so much more than id ever expect for the price. If the guy had spent a few more hours on the final finishing i would have expected to see it for sale $2500+ at a guitar store Sounds damn awesome, the preamp isnt...

    I Have a Bad Wrist- What Should I Do?

    GET ART THERAPY sorry for caps but this is like the most important thing ever. I was at one stage a powerlifter, we have lots of issues involving muscles, bones and joints. More often than not its a muscle and tissue issue. Find an ART therapist in your area, pay the fees and get your neck...

    Is there a list of 2-finger pickers vs 3-finger pickers (top bassists?)

    The dude from kamelot sometimes punches his strings with his fist, does that count? R M I pattern does feel triplety but it can be alleviated by not playing at your absolute max speed. R M I M means your middle finger is essentially playing identically to 2 finger technique, the ring and...

    *ARGH* i keep spending my cash on bass guitars

    we are all indeed sick, twisted human beings :P I dont think id ever spend more than $500-$700 on a bass. Anything more and it becomes a far happier event to build my own. Either way this new one is a bit of a gamble. ~$550aus from vietnam, some guy who credits himself as an inlay artist made...

    Ibanez SR505 or Warwick Rockbass Corvette $$

    I have an old 505 i believe and it was $700 2nd hand, i love that thing! I ebayed a 506 recently for around $500... I think you should ebay it, these arent overpriced cosmetic basses... ebay it and you wont be afraid to tweak, cut and explore it as much as you want.
