That "NTC 10D-11" is an inrush current limiter/surge suppressor. The damage shown it the picture above shows that it did its job. Kiss it, throw it away, and solder in a replacement. I buy them in bulk, but they are about a buck per if you buy one at a time. The "preamp" issue isn't. What...

Yes, Samick built 505 basses in the plant where this critter came from. Do not be surprised if the pickups are actually Kent Armstrongs. By the way that bass is probably 18-20 years old! Decent preamp, but I'm looking for something with a little more headroom...but I don't want to hose the...

Hmmm, 1974 or 75 ,Vox combo amp, I think it was 50 watts, 1 x15. Had a switch on the back that supposedly gave you an "E" to tune to. Swapped that for a Ampeg portaflex, 1 x 15, swapped that for a Bassman 50 with a 2 x 15 cabinet, swapped for (starting to see a pattern here?) a blue sparkle...

I would think that would help you cut through the mix!:hyper:

I had the great fortune to own a Newburgh-built XL-25, narrow spaced, in white. Nothing else plays like it, nothing else sounds like it (especially through the rig that I had; GK amplification, JBL top cab with 2-8s and a titanium horn, JBL 18 sub in a ten-ton cabinet. I would sell my soul...

That's easy; just use a mono cable in socket 'A'. The bass maker has 'summed' the two outputs there by doing what is known as 'normalling' the B socket...if it isn't used, the signal routes right down to the other socket directly.

Hopeless here...I'm directly connected to a backbone server, and get all 9's in both directions.

Belden cable, neutrik or switchcraft ends.

...I am educated in the science of sound reproduction, digital recording technology, and most especially, psychoacoustics. I was most surprised when my doctoral hypothesis FAILED as a result of the research project. I thought that the brain would round off the squares and any difference would be...

"I'm talking about simply reproducing a continuous electronic waveform. " That's the point...digital simply CAN'T by its inherent nature sample a 'continuous' waveform. Even at 88,000 samples per second, it is still just pieces of the original. Does the digital 'sound' better? Yes, after a...

And having your 'nads cut off isn't? (just kidding) Actually, I have a son with kidney failure, and we can't risk the infection from a scratch, otherwise, they'd still have 'em. Couches are cheap.

Best of Both Worlds!!!

If you go to a shelter or PetSmart, look for a slightly older kitty (6 months up is fine)...your cat will pick you. Absolutely get a male fixed before it even comes 'home'...otherwise, he'll spray to mark his territory. I have 4 females right now...three of them are cats. All except my...

Actually, as long as your cell can 'see' a tower, 911 WILL work on a US cellphone, even if you don't have a 'working' phone or time on a prepaid. I still hate forwarded spam.

Somebody's attorney skipped a step. This has been tried before, and Hooters has WON WITH PREJUDICE in all of the cases. Caselaw counts.

Not old news...it's already back in committee in several of the states again. It won't happen in PA, we're actually pretty gun-friendly here...I can open carry without a permit and it's perfectly legal. I shoot frangibles. Good luck reading any data off of that slug! Oh, and the compression...

Of course, there's alays this. It loses something in the translation.

Rumble from low end drummer looks like a jellyfish Where is the cold beer?

Our singers were always just hired ho's. Much easier to deal with that way.

A front man, especialy a singer, does a lot of damage to his chords at a gig, even if he has a vocal coach or teacher. Most don't want to do that kind of damage at practice. It's also hard to have the gig 'rush' at practice. Practice is just that...practice. My fat ass doesn't move off of the...

Reliable drummer? Isn't that an oxymoron? Honestly, 35 years in the bidnezz, and I know all of '4' reliable drummers...and all 4 are studio mavens. Go figure.

My dissertation was actualy on the pschoacoustic differences between various audio playback formats; good clean vinyl wins hands down. Nice smooth sine waves are good for the brain. As 'good' as a CD or MP3 can sound, they are never better than looking at a picture through a window screen; it...

Couple of add-ins: Crazy glue. It can even be used to close up that slice in your finger! Fuses for the amps. A spare wall-wart with adjustable voltage settings and plugs. a spare IEC power cable (that three-wire thingy that connects all of our toys to the wall). No one has mentioned a...

I've notices that the powered monitors tend to get dollar-store extension cords and widowmakers (three-to-two power adapters), where the rack is more likely to get something a bit more reasonable. They are actually no less reliable than most combo amps with decent power, as long as you don't...

Yep, double-box. Greyhound Package Express (GPX) is pretty good at moving equipment around without mucking it up.

The biggest problems with the rechargables are the lack of high-current capability (not always a problem in a bass), but the biggest one is that fact that a 9 volt rechargable is only 7.2 volts. get a lithium cell, and replace it once a year on your birthday.

RE-20. Shock mount. no compromise.

Yeah, but at the already-started gig, you can daisy-chain to the next monitor over and adjust the mix; if the powered box fails, you're generally SOL.

based on the nu,ber of powerd monitors that cross my workbench, and the 'fun' that it can be to get the right replacement parts, powered boxes = FAIL . They get abused, and they want clean power. Use small switching amps, and a small rack case for the monitor amps and EQs, and make sure...

I have these little rubber biscuits that I put under my cab to isolate it from the floor, these are similar...that's $4 US for a pair, you need 4. Link Removed

I honestly don't think I'll ever consider myself competent on an upright. The producers seem to disagree.

gater and ducker off the kick drum track.

For the body, Mother's California Cold cleaner and glaze, and follow it up with California Gold wax. I don't know why, but for the Mexican finishes (any any of the gel-coated basses) this stuff is just killer. get it at any car store. I never use anything besides a natural lemon oil on my...

Do a search on the name; within 4 google pages, you'll find half-a-dozen groups with that name.

Dude...always 'phuque' your code up a little bit, and fix it before you submit it. I like putting loops in that lock the program up...I also put my credits in in white on white back in the day...and now, when I'm grading a student's work, I'll highlight the code to see if it is someone else's...

I've taken to replacing mine with 3-pin mic jacks. Unbalanced pair to the output and the free pin ties to the shell to turn on the preamp.

Yeah...I played it for years with the harmonics, makes it an easy riff! gotta thank Chris Squire for my use of harmonics, though.

Walking along the top of the bar kicking over drinks can lead to many ***-was-I-Thinking moments! For some reason, when 'real' wireless first came out, it was useful for just freaking people out....
