    Why is Pink Floyd more popular and appealing than Rush?

    It was intended to be the soundtrack for The Wall film when he started writing it, but Waters decided to write about something else partway through.

    The John East preamp club

    EDIT: Think I figured it out! The connector from the EQ to the Volume knob was not sitting nicely and kept wiggling loose. I taped it down and seems to be back in business. I recently installed the Uni 4 knob. When I put it in active mode it sounds great, but after 10 or so minutes it dies...

    Reverb wants to sign in to my bank account?

    I think it’s the same idea as PayPal checkout if you have your bank connected to PayPal. Except it seems Plaid is not doing great at following the rules they’re supposed to follow.

    Reverb wants to sign in to my bank account?

    @LBS-bass - Any U.S. resident who owns or owned one or more “financial accounts” accessed by Plaid, or for which Plaid obtained their login credentials, between Jan. 1. 2013, and Nov. 19, 2021, and the Class Member was a U.S. resident at the time. Oof that’s a scary long time too.

    Reverb wants to sign in to my bank account?

    I don’t disagree with the last posts about breaches and also the allegations against them. I’d be interested to read their responses to that allegation as it seems they are denying it. You definitely have the right to decide where you’re willing to draw the line. It’s never going to be a good...

    Reverb wants to sign in to my bank account?

    Financial institutions are under very strict rules and regulations like PCI compliance levels. APIs can be used to send/receive information in a direct and secure way between. It appears that Plaid is giving access just for verification purposes to quickly deposit and withdrawal a micro...

    Too nice of a bass for a dive like this...

    Depends on the setup… A bar gig with no real stage and on the same level as patrons moving around, dancing etc? I’m bringing the cheaper bass.. Even when it’s the cheaper I don’t keep basses that would sound like garbage vs my favorite/more expensive. It’ll still sound good and people will have...

    Dude gets his tone an expensive, decent, and no name bass.

    I’m with you there!

    Oh for sure. That’s all I meant. Price isn’t the point, but the bass itself may just hit you different regardless of price. Edit to add: that’s why i don’t believe in the comment of ‘a bass is a bass is a bass’

    Would you give up your BBN4 for any other random bass now?

    Dude gets his tone an expensive, decent, and no name bass.

    I actually think I agree with you mostly outside of dismissing it as ‘do much more than’. Those are all really important things. Modestly change tone… Electronics in the bass could massively change your tone at the same settings on your rig that you’ve been using, but yes you will likely be able...

    Fender Jazz Bass Special - Circa 1984-87

    I had a beat up red one I bought used but then later sold. This was years ago, but still thought about that bass. Regretted it enough that I bought the boxer series that was released last year right when it came out. It’s certainly a nice bass, but I swear the OG 80s one had more balls and oomph...

    D String Buzz On 12th Fret

    Sounds like a dead spot. If so, I don’t know of any reliable way to fix it, but there are smarter people than me here that might have good advice.
