    Arthritis / short or medium scale recommendation

    A couple more answers to OP questions: going shorter scale is easier on intervals and not having to extend the fretting hand so far away (ideally, but will depend on bridge placement on body and upper strap position, as mentioned already). It can definitely help, and I have gone searching down...

    Arthritis / short or medium scale recommendation

    Just picked up this 32” scale Status, it is all about zing, clarity and excels at chords etc.

    bass processors better playing touch feel?

    Another thing to remember is the compounding of latency is also a factor, since most systems are digital. Sure, you get only a few milliseconds out of your floor processor. But then live, if you are using ears- the board, like distance from a stage amp, adds a couple more. A couple more with...

    bass processors better playing touch feel?

    Sitting next to an amp is great, much different experience than standing 10 feet away from it. But either way the transmission into the floor etc. is instantaneous. And yes, many interfaces have the no latency analog input, which is just signal directly to headphones before conversion to combat...

    bass processors better playing touch feel?

    Indeed, in music timing is everything. 3ms is technically playing behind the beat, feel wise. I believe all the induced latencies through digital processing has ruined the feel of modern music. As an engineer I struggle with it, it takes a lot of attention to keep things timed properly...

    No one will ever accuse her of being subtle.

    Only if the intent is to actually subvert, and not just enrich yourself by propping up a system that takes advantage of others. In this case, it is pretty obvious that it is Machiavellian intent. Devo stood for the opposite of what this person is doing.

    Recognizing a system that is largely detrimental to the idea of what we all do is playing into its hands? What? I think you are confused. Only thing I said about Mohini is that they are en exceptional player.

    Warwick nut slot too big for string

    I’m in the camp of loving the just a nut, since I like to change string gages and tunings a lot. I ended up buying a handful of the screws from Warwick with different sized slots, as well as slotting a couple for my specific needs. The shipping was way more than the scews.

    Sungazer (Adam Neely) Rig Rundown

    Yes, perfecting product. Exactly. While my remark is off the cuff, I have built many a playback system and toured doing this exact thing. I do appreciate how it can make an air tight product. It succeeds in bypassing an enormous amount of the environment. Something gained, something lost...

    The Status Register - Official Status Graphite Club

    Found an odd Status which just arrived. Pretty ridiculous instrument, plays incredibly. Seems to be the real deal, I think it’s a Rhino signature model. The serial number is hand written below the bridge, this normal?

    How do you make your neighbor's dog stop barking?

    I have the same problem, but in a condo and newest neighbors have dogs that bark violently every time I walk up to my damn door. I know I wouldn't buy a place where that's an issue. The owners are always the problem, not the dog. They're too smart to drink bleach water, unlike the dogs (who...

    Which nut would you use on a Spector Performer?

    I'm a big fan of adjustable nuts, for me nut height is one of the most important aspect of playability. Not sure why they aren't used more, I suppose breaking up the mass where the string rests might be a down side but the instruments I've had it on (Alembic and Warwick) Were so much easier to...

    Short scale piccolo bass?

    Like this? 30.75 scale, Hagstrom body block and neck made for me by Funktronic. Right now strung with 20 plain, 30, 50, 90 for extreme open tunings. But I started with the Ken Smith Burner Piccolo set, 20p 30 40 50. D'addario makes the set Manring uses, I think.

    Eurorack Modular processing and bass guitar

    This just showed up early... A heavily modded Fuzz Face circuit. Lots of eq and more extreme parameter controls. You can actually swap out resistors on the back, it came with Germanium but it would be interesting to roll some different types to hear the differences. Has a self feedback path...

    Eurorack Modular processing and bass guitar

    I really like the aspect of modular that Stubb brought up, the possibilities available through direct interaction of audio signals to produce control parameters for other occurrences. Basic uses of amplitude, duration, and frequency can be used to dramatic effect, taking instruments way beyond...

    Eurorack Modular processing and bass guitar

    Love this- I perform with my partner, she does wild visual stuff and takes audio in as a source for parameter controls. Here's a short clip from the last session, outside of the percussive elements the majority is the Hagstrom bass through the Magneto in harmony mode:

    Eurorack Modular processing and bass guitar

    Great info, thank you. And thanks for the chat! The Addac 311 did change everything- latching is key, was using Doepfer initially but to do what the Addac does in 6 hp was taking 20, it’s a no brainer. I can see a second one in the future. I’m using the Magneto for sound on sound and a long...

    VCV rack is amazing, I worked with that a bit before getting any hardware. I would recommend that to anyone as a smart step to take before hardware. The Hagstrom is a complete rescue, Funktronic made me an incredible headless neck for it. It was literally under water, the old neck split down the...

    The most expensive and the least expensive bass that has impressed you the most.

    Most expensive so far: Ken Smith MD 7.. Second to none craftsmanship and sound and playability. 2006, was 7k. Sold in 2008 for home purchase money. Least expensive so far: Mid 60's Hagstrom basket case, bought around '2000. $240 bucks.It's like it was made for my hands. I played through 2 sets...
