Apple vs android really makes little difference. Apple with a little advantage as far as apps but I don’t know for sure. I’d Stay with the mini and if you really think you want the extra two inches of screen after using your new sounds system a few times then make the investment. my favourite...

IME the fenders flats are the closest to rounds

I have a 2006 Japanese geddy as my main player for the last 10ish years with a supper thin neck. I feel I’m adjusting it once a season. If I stay on top of it, it’s only a quarter turn either direction. It isn’t abnormally more then any other instrument I’ve had. Hopefully it’s just wood...

I put pyramid flats on a hofner to replace the stock round wounds. It really changed the feeling and sound. I didn’t bond well the the pyramids. But give it some time

I haven’t used one in years. Live sound consoles and recording software have them and my playing isn’t to dynamic. There are some I like the sound of but I feel the subtle difference isn’t worth carrying around an extra box. I do notice a few people seem to have them set with hardly any comp on...

That is basically what a late 70s fender cost now. When everyone says they are junk you eventually need to find out for yourself at some point.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I have finally found a great tech that I trust. It is going to then soon. If I remember I’ll post what the issues actually is

Cool! It doesn’t look as grainy as I imaged ash to be. It is a 76 according to the logo style and serial number and is actually under 10 pounds

Not a tone wood thing just asking about the grain pattern. I’ve had this bass for a while I’m pretty sure it is alder but a friend I was jamming with said it’s ash. For my own piece of mind what do you think?

So happy someone included this. It is frightening how few musicians understand this. For any Canadians that need help, the people that work at socan are extremely helpful and will explain this if you call there help line

A few months ago I posted about this and instead of taking it to a tech I decided to buy three power tubes. I believe the answer to my problem is take it to a qualified tech. I was just hoping that there is a slight chance someone here will know what to do. bais 2 on my svt would have the red...

I had a a 65 b15. It was awesome I loved the sound. I had it and used it for five years. Eventually I had to make a mature decision when I was broke and needed money. It wasn’t the most practical amp for my situation and could have benefited from some work I couldn’t justify the cost of. I am...

Up here in Canada there is a band called Sloan, bass player is Chris Murphy. Not sure how well known they are in the rest of the world. Ive only seen him play a red competition mustang

I hardly noticed a difference when using the neck pick up on my jazz compared to my p bass with the same strings. Volume and fullness are richer with my P bass. Using IEMs with only my bass I can tell a bit more but I doubt I could tell the difference in a full band mix

Could be a few issues I’m sure it’s mainly the sounds guy fault. I don’t want to assume In ten years as making my living as a sound sound tech (national touring/local dive bars) the worst nights I have is when the band doesn’t want to sound check. Has only happened twice but it is was...
