not to mention that the bass is abnormally under the drums on this particular track, even with good speakers. thanks for posting.

I haven't been able to find much information about power amps that have a good input voltage for a p-bass through an Ampeg SVP. I have heard folks talk a bit about Carver and Stewart amps. I intend to play it through my Acoustic B810 and will likely be playing reggae, soul, or Texas country. If...

I just saw the Ornette "double bass" quartet the other night in Austin and it was so freaking great.

Thanks for the feedback everybody. Jazzdogg: thanks for the link. I did find that one, but I am not experiencing pain. I have read all of the newbies etc. links on the orchestral and jazz technique forum and found some wise reasoning there. Admittedly, I haven't really gotten into the EB forums...

Hello, I tried to dig up as much as I could about this issue using the Boolean search, but didn't come up with much. I feel like my most limiting struggle on the upright is that my left hand gets quite fatigued after a short period of time. In the interest of trying to up the length of time...

Great track. Like the tone. Love the playing and time feel. Super funky.

Is there a way to bookmark "favorite" threads to one's profile? If so, I'd like to give this thread the honors.

I definitely judge folks sometimes for employing terrible grammar, but I personally try to ease up on CL; Because I live in Austin, there are many folks for whom English is a second language. The truth is that I am deterred by most CL listings (gear or bands) by content alone.

+1 for yoga, mtto. When I was younger (and primarily a guitarist), I had some pretty serious tendonitis issues that stopped me from playing for the better part of 8 months. I changed my technique, started forcing myself to take more breaks (still difficult for me), and began doing some Aikido...

Probably silly to post so long after initial thread, but my take is that the jazz purists (only partially autobiographical) kept watering at the mouth at all of that great footage (remember kids - this was before YouTube had so much available jazz footage) that they'd been dying to see for years...

These are all great responses into which I myself shall look deeper at some point, but my $.02 would be to ask you what your favorite jazz recordings are. I would advise you to try to find material to transcribe from albums you already listen to in heavy rotation. Ideally, the first solos you...

Hello, not to let this this really steer you, but I often tell my students [when approached about the option of being a professional musician] to only go through with it if that is the only option for them. Most of your statements in the quoted post don't only apply to professional jazz...

Ah, thanks! I'm always scared to rock the brute force algorithm until I am certain that I am not going to break anything. Just out of curiousity, do you know if those feet are usable again, or if I'll need a new set should I need to take the amp out of the rack? Thanks, Stanky

Nope. Fan vents on each side. Top and bottom are sealed as if to facilitate the unit fitting into 2 rack spaces.

I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question, but can the ShuttleMax 6.0 amps fit in 2 rack spaces? I just bought and installed the rack ears and am trying to fit it into a 4 space rack with a Power amp that takes 2 rack spaces. It didn't look to me like removing the rubber feet was an...
