    Does this exist?

    Also overkill, but the boss ls 2 has 2 volumes and allows for cycling through a>b>bypass, so technically 3 different volume levels

    What ear protection are you using?

    Bollsen Music sound pro I also use the same brand for sleeping and also for motorcycle. They are the most comfortable (universal) earplug I have tried so far, even when sleeping on one side or under motorcycle helmet (in case that's relevant when you're gigging...)

    Is the action of my bass slightly high?

    If it sounds right, then it is

    pi-Stomp v3 Kit: DIY multi-effect base on open source software

    Did anyone here order in European Union? Any experience to share concerning customs? (I'm located in Germany and that's scaring me a bit)

    Rechargeable power supply

    No worries, I have an engineering background, so I'm used to all these units (and multiples). I knew about Peukert's law without knowing its actual name, but I never realized it could reduce the capacity so drastically. Do you know how the different battery technologies behave? I think you...

    Rechargeable power supply

    mAh stands for mA (milli-ampere) times h (hour) and is the energy of one mA (at a given nominal voltage, so that current times voltage = power) delivered during one hour. So a battery capacity of 4400mAh contains the amount of energy of 4400mA drawn during one hour or 440mA during 10h, etc...

    Rechargeable power supply

    Simplifying the math, 4400mAh would be actually a bit more than 4h with 500mA+500mA+22mA, you may argue that the full capacity of the battery may not be available but still... and I hooked a multimeter on the zoom out of curiosity, result was that the average current consumption is closer to...

    Recommend me a new bass

    Does it have to be new? Not sure the current market prices, but 2k should get you a secondhand Dingwall, especially if you're not in a hurry to buy. And if you later decide don't like it, you'll easily sell it without significant loss. If shopping for multiscale, you may want to check the scale...

    Dingwall Owners Club

    It's a tight fit, but no extra routing was needed. I just took the opportunity to cover the whole cavity with some copper tape leftovers. Not much modification needed: pickup wires were on screw terminals on the original switch, so simply unscrew I had to separate the individual pickup wires...

    Dingwall Owners Club

    I just took the time this weekend to play around with pickup configurations on my D-Roc. I made a 3-way rotary switch with reconfigurable pickup combinations (using DIP switches) plus additional internal series/parallel switches for each pickup. Each of the three selector positions can be...

    Pedal power question

    the Joyo JP05 is battery powered, which is quite convenient: - you don't need to have a power outlet close to you pedalboard, only run audio cable there - for long rehearsals/at home, you can still operate it with external power while charging and the number of output is more than sufficient...

    Guitar/bass pick question

    for both guitar and Bass: Dunlop Jazz III XL in red because: - they are faster (same as red cars) - they are a little less easy to lose (same as red/orange tools)

    Zoom Owners' Club!

    May I ask whether the clipping issue that was reported on the old version of the MS60b (see https://www.talkbass.com/threads/zoom-ms-60b-clipping.1287070/ ) is solved in the new MS60b+ ? Can anyone report on this?
