Pics or it didn't happen.
(Hope she didn't get hurt.)
That's an ego bruise on what I imagine is an already very bruised ego.
J-pop is shaging weird.
There is some great bonafide Japanese metal, though. Like Sigh, Church of Misery, Boris, and Gallhammer.
A proper mudbucker is usually about 30k or so, right?
I've always been curious as to what one that powerful would sound like in the bridge position.
Yeah, I think a BDDI would be tough for me to use. I have a VT Bass pedal. I like that better. It's been serving sort of as my backup.
I use a .130 gauge low B, though I use a .100 gauge E. Seems to work. Using XLs.
Psh, no way. 1515/66 at least. Or a Dually. Or two. Dual Duallies.
.145 sounds like a bridge cable, lol. Maybe if I tuned to Ab or something.Just catching up after a super busy couple of days at work, so many things have been talked about I am interested in! I'm on the app so can't be bothered to quote but touching on a few things people have said...
I've decided to go BEAD with the T-40, going to get it done professionally this time though. I use that .145 string mentioned on my Squier and it's great but opting for power slinkys this time. We shall see if they hold up!
I'm also using a rat (tail) for fast and low riffs, best I've found for that so far!
My DiMarzio model Js also make my bluebeard crap out at full volume
Just got the VT bass DI yesterday, not had much time to play with it but sounds good instantly, not a huge "wow" from it but I appreciate it sounds good so that probably has more lasting value.
Ordered a polytune mini noir too, should make things on the nano sit a bit better, hopefully get it tomorrow!
Phew.
I like the VT bass, though I don't have the DI version.
Tampons? Psh. You must do a lot of swimming, or wear a lot of thongs. Pads are where it's at, clearly.
Diva/moon cups are the best solution, though, of course.
Hit it with a boost?
I usually play between the pickup and the neck (or between the two pickups, on my Rickenbacker), or between the pickup and the bridge.
Surprise porn. I hope the new owners are some old couple.
I usually take immodium before going to bed if I've done a lot of drinking, especially if whatever I ate was... well... not the kind of thing to come out without unpleasantness.
I want this shirt. I have no money, currently, though, so can't assist.
Damn, that's poopy. Poor lass.
Also, electronics question:
What makes a volume pot a volume pot, and a tone pot a tone pot? What's different in them that the volume pot can be used to take the entire signal down, but the tone pot turns down only the high frequencies?
Also, is it possible to get a pedal built that's the same as my Big Muff Pi, but with the tone knob able to be toggled in and out of the circuit?

Now we have a stage with a spike of DOOM on it. I have been keeping the girls off of it so we don't have any casualties.
Awesome. Did the dancer get decent sympathy tips?

Yeah I've seen some pretty good falls from broken heels/clumsy ass/etc. Seems like the guys feel sorry and start tipping harder.
Everybody wants to be "the one" to cheer her up.
Finding the vt-rm to be as silly for settings as the bddi but well give it a good shake. What's crazy is the bddi still sounded ok at times. Still in knob turning mode. I like the svt settings just a hint of grit. Need both 2x10 for confirmation this is going to work . Running the 2x10 and 2x15 combo as a stack sounds clean.
Keeping the bddi off so I'm not dependent on it for base settings if the Vt.
Added the bdpg and may have a winner if it is as helpful at high volume. Warms up the blower box and TFR.
Laced up the .130 balanced set on and will see if that helps stop the boomy bs. Popped the j pickup out and swapped the stock foam under the ground strip for double sided tape to drop the pickup. May do the same for the p set if I'm still seeming to blow to hot.

Tone pot has a capacitor across it so it cuts a certain frequency. Though all pots are born the same... Except schwag... The behringer of bud.
I thought you built your rickenpeavey? I have two 30ish k output mudbuckers, ones currently in my epi EB-0 other on a shelf, I really want to have them both in one bass as well. I'd just need to keep the EB-0 or find a new host bass and get to routing some serious wood.
I'd mod that existing big muff for a tone cut switch before I paid someone good money to build an entirely new pedal to get that switch option. There's a big muff with tonal bypass and wicker out there, maybe that's on the new bass models as well.
Sounds like you've been around a lot of gentlemens clubs my friend.
I went once with an ex who wanted to go, then once with a friend for his birthday and because I had to see live nude wrestling... Bucket list people! It was kinda cool guys got so excited it became a $1 bill bukkake, and a lot landed on me so I recouped some of my cover charge
You can get different kind of pots (linear and logarithmic) but either can be used for volume or tone. The difference is how they are wired and that there is a capacitor connected to the tone which determines the effected frequencies. I think...
As for the muff, I would expect that is possible, my bluebeard is one of the later models with this mod. Pretty beastly, kind of wish it was on a footswitch!
I modded my RickenPeavey. I routed out the pickup cavity for the Rickenbacker pickup, and slapped a new bridge onto it (the ground wire is just smooshed between the bridge and the body), as well as cutting down the pickguard so it only covered (part) of the control cavity.
I then too it to my local shop and told them to wire it up and set it up for BEAD.
Tonight, re-soldering the wire to the output jack was my first time actually soldering anything on it. I had just noticed that the pots, except for the cap, on the tone pot, look the same (they're the stock pots).
Since pots are apparently pots, and it's only the cap that makes one a tone pot, could I conceivably drop in a second pickup and just take the cap off the tone pot and turn it into a second volume pot? I'm thinking of adding a second pickup, eventually. I'd probably move the jack to the side and use the whole in the control cover for a pickup switch.
As for the pedal, well, I don't want to shag it up. Also, I want to get a custom graphic, mainly to be gross, given that I want it to be of a big hairy vulva with the clit where the toggle switch is.
What's standard on basses, if there is one? Linear or logarithmic?
The problem with my fuzz pedal is that I find it pretty much only usable if I'm using my wah pedal at the same time. Otherwise it just gets lost in the mix. I'm thinking a toggle switch would allow me to make it useful in the mix by cutting out the tone part, while being able to toggle to the regular muff sound for the wah section of All is Sorrow.
