like with many settings in an SVT preamp,the ultra low does not lend itself to a band mix imho but sounds great standalone....

It’s like the loudness control on old stereos, great at low volumes to add deep low end.

Ahem ( I knew that)
It’s also self deprecating humor in the common vernacular.

Yes, but only became such after the real meaning was put to use! But all the above but #2 can often be applied to me--and more!

I can't seen the bicentennial anymore; it's unbearable !
If I ever have to refinish my Epi VP, it'll be the same.

There's nothing like natural after all, right ?!

Yes, there's white.

Where I grew up(Miami), the only meaning was #2. Imagine my shock/surprise/dismay/whatever hearing it in its now more common usage.

I would, but I just bought a new bass rig….

Teflon tape solved thread slop.
Cut a slot into thin trim washers from import potentiometers, slipped them over the bottom shelf of the post, under the bridge:
Here’s the result:


Good solid fit, no rattle!!
Therefore will no longer lean. Reinstalling strings.

See? Wasn’t hard LOL

Nice work and good info!

maybe we should all go in on it and have the 2026 GTG there....

I was playing my Eagle in a DJB session the other day and playing with the controls. It has a "varitone" which really only has one position I like when I hear the bass by itself. But with the drummer playing, the tone with the switch in that position got buried.
A couple of the others however really worked well.

Opposite here, didn't know about #2 meaning.

nice burst.....is that the ohsc? looks like mine....feels kinda rickety..

My one and only foray into string buying from Amazon was a set of DA tapes. The E string was missing. I returned them for a refund and bought them somewhere else.

I’m with you on hating thieves.

I buy my strings (and whatever else I can) locally. I really don’t want the brick & mortars to go.
