Pacific Palisades fire explodes to nearly 3,000 acres as thousands of residents flee, homes are lost — Los Angeles Times

A fast-moving fire in Pacific Palisades grew to more than 2,900 acres Tuesday amid dangerous winds that officials had described as potentially life-threatening and destructive. Thousands were forced to evacuate.

Y'all gotta quit that sheet.

I wonder why 250k pots vs. 500k pots which is how its usually done? Wouldn't that reduce high end & clarity?

The G man told me to use 500k pots

In general, yes. Which pots to use depend on the pickups and your Sonic goals.

My own experience was that with the 250K pots in my Orville it was utterly lifeless, I was a little cautious about the rewire but it was actually not difficult.
The difference in the sound was night and day.

Apparently the FD is pushing abandoned cars off the road to get to the fires

A buddy of mine lives in Topanga. Haven't heard how his house is, but I know he managed to evacuate safely and get his Fairchild compressors out with him.

Could be 1,000,000 mls as I'm looking at the snow and ice--and single digit temps coming this way.

Latitude's only 3 degrees off, pretty crazy....

Compressor(s)?.....Wow! 660s?....

Moving them with dozers. People trying to leave and got stuck. Left their cars and hightailed it down to the ocean. This may end up being worse than the Oakland fire of ‘91. Devastating.

Nothing good that’s for sure

Glad he made it out! Brings to mind how Neil lost two homes in the area. The first in ‘78 and the second in ‘18.

On a lighter note, I’d rather hear DG sing instead of GL. I hope they do more.

I can't recall off the top of my head if he has 660s or a 670. I kinda recall it being a sizable faceplate, but it could have been a 660 pair or the 670.

Whoa! I would be worried about warbly/chorusy overtones with that much magnetic pull on the strings. I've done quite a few 3-pickup experiments with basses and encountered that issue a couple of times, where I had to swap one pickup out for something with less pull, to fix the issue. Also, my 3-pickup Godin Shifter bass suffered from that issue. I've never tried 4 pickups, but can only imagine that EVEN MORE pull would result in the issue being present and exaggerated, which would be disappointing to come across after spending $4k!

I’m happy this configuration doesn’t do any of the chorus effect what so ever.

Sweet! Yes, like I mentioned, I have a thing for the 3 pickup concept and I've got 2 basses that currently have 3 pickups (one of them a short scale thunderbird) without magnetic pull overtone issues. I've had several others, in a few of which I had to just swap one pickup for another to get rid of the warble. In fact, in terms of battling excess magnetic pull, you've got the best 3 pickup set up, because there isn't one in the far neck position. Way up there, the string is looser, travels farther, and is most effected by magnetic pull.

Yep, no question. Any known actual cause for this yet, other than dry air, wind and fuel making is worse? More importantly is this close to you or anyone here? Your place is farther North, correct?

Good point, and yes it is.

Wow. A few of those could be worth a house. Well, not likely in California.
