I think that Turnaround may be correct about the seasonal adjustments but Reedt2000 has a good point about how it can affect your mental being.

I have been playing since 1962 and usually with better players. It has been a rewarding experience. Now, at 74 years old, I am with players who have progressed since joining and it is rewarding also. Both situations have there benefits.

My personal list would be so many more than one, since the 20th century was so prolific.

This is one answer that could cover all the basses, ha ha: If using A440 as the reference then the note is 38.89HZ.

Another factor is that 1/4 inch connectors have a pretty small contact area on the tip and higher wattage systems benefit from the speakon connectors.

I have experienced another type of "feedback" on acoustic electric basses. It is not the Hendrix type but the sympathetic vibration of non muted open strings. Thus also occurs on solid body basses but seems to be exaggerated by the nature of the acoustic instrument. The better an instrument...

Wouldn't every kèy have different flats or sharps? I don't see how this could work. Maybe I misunderstood the OP's intention.

My Ibuprofen, some kind of antacid, just listing things not listed yet.

During several jobs working where I was involved in receiving shipments by UPS, this is what I heard while the trucks were departing: Loud sounds of boxes falling. I can say no more.

Wow! There is fantastically great information posted here. It could be compiled and posted as some kind of reference for anyone setting up instruments, especially electric basses. Has the OP answered the first question about if the 12th fret intonation test was a fretted note when compared to...

This is THE question to be answered before any more comments or suggestions. Edit: And then consider nut and string height, etc.

Maybe these two. I didn't notice if they were already listed:

My wife also has the C extension with levers (capos). It is used in many symphonic pieces.

Pretty much every other note is F and the capo gives my 73 year old hand a welcome break, especially after playing a few songs in Bb.

I use a capo to play "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac in F

I have always understood that any string instrument should be kept at playing tension of the strings. What you do regularly should be fine (in or out of the case). The only difference while you are gone is that it won't be speaking (singing).

I recommended a simple mixer without realizing you requested info on pedal type devices. It looks like there are multitudes of these pedals and good suggestions from our TB folks. Happy shopping. Finding new equipment is a lot of fun.

I think that most any small audio mixer under $100 would be just right.

What volume levels do you want? That might help in some suggestions. There are some informative reviews out there about the blues sound of guitars through bass amps.

In an interview with Stockard Channing on "Inside the Actor's Studio", she said there are three reasons to take a gig: If it can further your career, if it pays well or you can learn something.

I feel that the saddles are not correct for the bridge. Don't know exactly why they are on there, but they don't line up somehow. The strings shouldn't have that much lateral distance to be "in the groove".

If they were to be swapped the grooves would be off the edge of the bridge plate. The photo I showed was of a completely different company and was only to show how the saddles should be in alignment with the string hole in the back of the bridge and not be pulling the strings to one or the other...

If you were to loosen the strings to where there is very little tension, do the saddles then line up with each other? like this? I have seen saddles that don't fit the bridge. And are you adjusting the height screws so the saddles are parallel to the bridge plate? Sometimes different height of...

A photo of the strings path between the nut and the bridge might be helpful. We would be able to see the alignment along the neck and then provide some more help.

Sometimes a higher tension set can help a minor back bow. If this does the trick, then a heavier string can have a lower action and may not feel much harder to play.

A few years back at an outdoor event that had improper power destroyed my Gallien-Krueger 1001RB. The best tech (and long time friend) in town checked it out and told me it would probably be too expensive to repair. I have been bummed out ever since.

What is source for the tracks you want to play with? I looked up your preamp and it also has a 1/4" output. Do you have an amp or head that includes a second "audio" input and a headphone output? And or, using your computer as mentioned by @Bag of Lazers or the multiple input type of headphones...

I also found that they might have been nylon, but don't know about the texture. I found a Russian language site that has some still listed. Here is a screen shot of what they look like. There should be something similar at most local music stores.

Yes, I cut behind the clamp and the set is Long Scale. And still pleased after a year and a half.

You didn't mention a very important part of all this, how chords are created using a Major scale.

I have owned one of these for at least 20 years and had to replace the 2 gel cells a few years ago. The inputs and controls are positioned across the bottom so be careful to not step too close. This information was copied from one of the big "Musicians" online retailers. It isn't small in size...

That's good to know, thank you.

I used this amp for many years and after this happened I bought a Bugera BV10001M Veyron for a backup. Have used the Bugera for the last 3 years and was happy with it until just recently when I used the PF500 at rehearsal and heard the difference. WOW! I am going to get a voltage checker of...

Thanks agedhorse. Are there things that I should be worried about?

I remember it not turning on at a venue (dive bar) but has worked fine everywhere else. The AC outlets seemed ok with other equipment. I am in the United States and the voltage selector was on 110V. It is an older version amp.

Question to all about the construction of the grill cloth and frame. By cutting the cloth off, wouldn't it give a more advantageous access to doing whatever is necessary for getting the frame off? And I think it might be a good idea to remove the speakers, for their safety.

Plus, when did you notice this? Did this suddenly show up? I am particularly curious if it happens with open strings before making any comments.

Some powered PA speakers and powered monitors have more than one input. I took my bass to a music store and played through several in order to choose the one that I liked the sound of my bass through.

You and I are in the same boat. A bass would have to have been made before June of 1951 to be older than me. If one was available, there is no way I could afford it. But, I love my 2 year old Ibanez ergonomic multi scale fanned fret short scale.

I also enjoying playing rock music. A band I played with had a house gig for around 5 years. We played a decent variety of music but no rock. Steel player singer, acoustic guitarist singer, keyboard singer, drummer and myself on bass. They pretty much played every moment and I eventually felt...
