Nice!!!...Those older Schaller tuners are much thicker than the new ones they make...Bought a replacement d-tuner and noticed the difference. That was a waste of $90!!..:spit:
 
Don't know who told you that but they were completely wrong. Plus, you are suggesting he change to DC's which is what is in the NS-4 already and I have never heard of an NS-4 having issues cutting through the mix.

He mentioned that it's not as aggressive sounding as the Plum Euro and that is most likely due to the tonepump inside it. If it's a non trim tonepump, that will definitely explain it since I have the same issue with my Rebop 5 but if it has a trim pot, try setting it to 30% and see if the output levels are closer.

John has been hanging at Casa'D'Lima...getting much education from that old Yoda!!...haha :bassist:
 
Chops it is. My pleasure, L. Let me see what I can do for you on the other - This camera has some sort of plug for an extra mic.....maybe I can find a way to get good sound along with the vid. See you tomorrow night!


Depending on the camera you may be able to run an output from the soundboard into the camera or connect a separate mic and place it further away from the stage so it doesn't get over driven by the loud PA.

Feel free to PM me with with the camera model and I will see what I can find out. I worked for JVC so I have some knowledge in this area.
 
True!..but you must always have some sacrificial lambs for the bad clubs/tight stages..hehe... a couple ns2a's and euros, the sound will still be in par. :bassist:

Funny stuff right there!
Before I got my USA NS4, I never would have imagined that my precious Euro LX would end up becoming my "Red-neck bar bass"!
:eek:

It's my B-Day today. I have to work the graveyard shift tonight, but I think I can squeeze in an hour or two of playing the NS4 before then...

Happy B-day Bro! I definitely recommend finding some time with your sweet lookin' NS-4 today!! :bassist:

I stand corrected John. DC's do come on the NS-4's. That's what happens when I've been packing up the house for 3 days and tired out. Plus trying to catch up from page 9 a17 and watch my favorite tv shows. Lol :rolleyes::ninja:
I was on the understanding the old TonePumps were hotter because of not being able to dial them back?
 
When I first got it, I was a bit concerned about the apparent lack of volume, bottom end, & balls in general.
I played it for about ten minutes before changing the factory strings to D'Addario stainless steels, lowering the action & raising the pickups - what a difference! It bites, it snarls, it thunders - it growls like an animal now!
Those soapbars are absolutely vicious when set to the proper height & slammed with stainless steel rounds...

Ahhhh! There we have it. Sometimes we just think automatically that the bass is all setup to ready to roll. Thought that was strange for DC's to be low vol. and aggressiveness...a lot of people on here love the DC's and some are changing over to them. That's awesome! Glad you got it worked out! :bassist:
