Everything you did about the blend knob positions also applies to my P-Ray :)

My P-Ray. FWIW, whoever told you EMG 40DC sounds like a Stingray had misled you. I have 40DC pickups in an ibanez I modified, and they sound great, but not the same as my Stingrays. I was adamant that the Stingray tone had to be exact, and would be happy if the P tone was ballpark. So I...

Nice. We look forward to a review

Interesting. That opens up some possibilities for sure.

I was in their website yesterday. It says the current BQS is for active EMG pickups only, and the BQS HZ can be used with any pickups. I'll email them to confirm.

Wait..... designed as a drop in replacement, but because they are active, so they won't work with the existing non-EMG preamp. You'll also have to budget for a BQS or other EMG preamp. What if your bass already has a nice pre? If they also made a passive HZ version that would work with any...

FWIW, an ambient mic on stage is the bomb! You can hear the crowd, the chat on stage, and just the overall "live-ness" that's missing from the comparatively dry desk iem mix. I use a Rode Wireless Go 2. I can put the tiny mic anywhere on stage I like, wherever sounds best. I often put in on the...

+1 to use whatever gets the best seal in your ears. I'm old. I started with IEM waaay back with the very inexpensive Sennheiser CX300ii (single driver) I originally bought for listening to music while commuting to work on public transport. I realised my bass sounded good enough through them...

Here's my P-Ray

I have a DR05. I've only ever used the headphone out to check what I've recorded afterwards, and that works fine. The device is only doing one thing at a time, recording, or playback. I suspect when you ask it to do both at once, there's a voltage drop going on that causes the tremolo...

Yes that's true unfortunately. And you can lose more than that... the newest research into untreated hearing loss also shows an alarming link to the severity of age related cognitive decline. The studies stop short of saying hearing loss causes dementia, but note it makes dementia worse. It's...

Good info there Joe, a unique perspective from someone whose actually made an effort to make HAs work. But in keeping with your eyeglasses analogy, you have to remember human hearing is far more complicated. The technology doesn't yet exist to "restore" hearing to what it was in the way...

I feel like I should elaborate on the mixed results from tilting. I hit a couple of snags: I mentioned earlier they small gigs means small stages. At most gigs, I literally have another band member standing right beside me. So tilting to make it louder for me also makes it louder for them. So...

I actually work in a hearing clinic, and I'm a musician. I talk about this often with the audiologist at work, neither of whom are musicians. Their many years of study and training seems to almost exclusively be focused on speech recognition and comprehension, so my probing questions about music...

Backstory: Covid has changed everything. What few gigs I get now are much smaller than before, so I put together a rig for small gigs. I got a combo which sounds nice (Ashdown Studio 15, 300w). But small gigs means small stages, so the combo is pushing the best part of the sound through my legs...

Zombie thread! Actually I can add to this thread because I own 5 stringers in both Stingray and the Cort in question. Yes you can get the Cort in the Stingray audio ballpark very easily. But before you rush out and get the Cort as a backup, they feel very different to play. 17mms spacing on...

Wow! Those are some seriously impressive weigh figures. If these were around earlier, I don't think I would have bothered building my own composite cabs. Great inovation!

Zombie thread revival. I figure with 14+ years of service some of you may have started running into problems with your Peerless 811647 tweets. One of mine went rancid while in storage. Has anyone replaced theirs? If so, what did you use?

I've been bikeless for 12 years. Then last week I went back to my hometown to visit friends and family, and I ended up going for a ride with a friend who owns an Indian Scout 1200 and a Victory Gunner 1800. I'd forgotten how good it feels! I'm going to check out a Victory Hammer 1800 tomorrow...

Or folks like me who have built a reputation for their versatility as a musician, and are well known as someone who knows enough about gear to make choices that enable such versatility. In the youtube video he says something about playing in a country band Friday and a heavy metal band on...

Any idea of what the RRP on the bass version is likely to be? Ballpark?

Wait stop - all powered off one Onespot? Does a One spot produce enough current to run those pedals? Somewhere on the One spot will be written what the Amp (or milliamp) rating is. That's the maximum current it can produce. The pedals will also have something on them telling you how many amps...

OK so I pulled the trigger on the 12v stick-on kit last night. Now I wait for it to be shipped. Then of course, someone points me towards something that looks very interesting...... Invalid Link Removed A stick on film that requires no electricity to defog freezer windows. I've emailed them...

That's only if you buy their controller i.e for a car that had no demister at all. They also sell "Stick-on Only" units which connect to a car's existing electronics, many of which have no such 10 min shut-off (at least not on any cars I've owned). I'd get the stick-on unit only. Good point, I...

Well it's a $20,000AUS machine new. I fully intend to buy a used display freezer when one comes available, but used ones are hard to come by because they're so big and heavy that "Pick-up-only" is the only option (I'm in an isolated coastal region). For reference, I picked up a used one just...

The quote came from the same small-mid sized refrigeration repair service I always use. I received a cursory "second opinion" and they basically said the quote I already got was going to be hard to beat. They need to take the machine away (it's big, and heavy), remove the existing evaporator and...

You guys are a pretty smart bunch so maybe someone can help me out here..... Long story short, one of my display freezers in my ice cream shop has a problem, and the quote I got to fix it "properly" would send me bankrupt. It still works, and for the most part I can work around the fact not...

Yep, me (in Australia). Have a look at my posts in this thread for more info.

That would be me. I don't notice anything unusual or honky at 1K. I used a Nordstrand pickup and to my ears there was initially too much treble (4k-6K), which is weird considering this 2n2 cap is supposed to be a LPF. I fixed it by adding a separate LPF to the P pickup only. I also had to add a...

I was curious to see how my Australian colleagues would fare, so I posted this on the Ozzbass forum. 100% guessed correctly .........

Whoa not so fast ... 19mmm string spacing. The SR5 is 17mmm. I've gotten rid of otherwise decent basses because my little hands just can't deal with 19mm string spacing.

OK now that I've had a listen through decent headphones, I'm going to go along with Geshel. But I'll tell you what, it's very close! And considering the price difference, and the fact there's a neck pickup at your disposal, I think I want one of those Corts in my arsenal!

Can someone please PM me when the answer is revealed?

Unfortunately this is true. I FINALLY spent my first night at home on CPAP last night. There was a comedy of errors and problems between the last sleep test to now which I won't go into because it makes me angry. It was an odyssey, but I finally got there. Problem is I was still awake at 3am...

I have a theory that people in general can no longer distinguish between correlation and causality. If a study of owners of blue cars shows a big portion of them have brown hair, that doesn't mean that driving a blue car will make your hair turn brown!

Well If I was a bit of a scrooge before, I'm definitely more of one now. My 10 day wait has just become much longer due to important people making themselves scarce in the lead up to Xmas. No CPAP for me until Mid Jan at the earliest. Not Happy :(

Hmmm, some interest food for thought in the comments above. I have good nostrils and sinuses, but I'm thinking I might get a full face mask as a backup to the nasal mask. That way I've got something I can use when I get Man-flu!
