The peanut butter does

I'd be curious to try out a set of these 916 sidewinder Tbird pups - & i know the 76-79 birds are wired in series vs parallel of 60's & modern birds post 87-88, but how would people define the pickups tone? Do they sound "cleaner", bigger, etc. Has anyone tried wiring the 60's type pickups in series, or the sidewinders in parallel, for a fair comparison?
A professional sound guy (who did work for well known acts) and I were talking about how you can go to (in my case church) and it sound different one week to the next, some more some less, sometimes the same. He said little things like temp, humidity barometric pressure can all add up and make a noticeable difference even when all other factors are the same.
One of the things I never understood. I always liked my bourbon with...bourbon. No candy flavors or even ice. I like the taste of bourbon. If people like it cold, which is a legit preference, just stick it in the fridg. Bingo! And no watery stuff messing with the good stuff. Preference I know.
Yeah the Shure set are more heavy duty. The G30 is plastic. My receiver lives on a pedalboard so it's relatively safe.
The transmitter has lived a hard life, being dropped many times.
I think the belt clip was broken when I got it, but Levi's make a nice holder that fits it.
When the battery door latch broke last year, I found a 3D file for a case that holds the door closed.
Then I did a repair with epoxy and got the latch to hold as normal.
With it being 2.4Ghz, I do need to be mindful of RF interference. At one small pub gig, our sound dude put his equipment too close to my pedalboard and his Wireless Access Point interfered with my receiver.
Yeah, but not the P.B. flavored booze. Or the salted caramel flavor.The peanut butter does

I stand corrected
yes, and many awesome Aussie vintage basses/guitars!Latest FedMess expert delivery....
This is him dropping the box on the sidewalk (which is likely 25-30 ft from the porch where it's supposed to be placed. Not the sidewalk where another delivery person carrying boxes might trip over it due to not seeing it.... The box was light and nothing breakable--but he didn't know that. I noticed from the camera vid he was talking to someone the whole time. (Not English or Spanish, maybe Arabic.) Maybe do your job in the daytime and visit with friends later. I notice that half the delivery people, including UPS are talking on their phones when delivering. When in English it's simply killing time with a bud.
If I ever have a bass delivered again I will beg it not be via FedMess.

Yup. Anyone who's run sound knows that bodies in the room (size, how they're dressed, etc.) make a difference, but so do environmental factors. "Everything affects everything else."
Of course! I was really stressed about the lack of neck support in the case so I talked to our operations guys about it. No bubble wrap only paper and cloths… hopefully they did as I asked.

This illustrates the waking addiction to phones that it seems the majority of people have. Talking on the phone when driving, walking, working, eating - which distracts attention from all those things. As a now retired independent laborer and one who was fortunate to work by the hour - I respected that concession by focusing 100% on the work I was being paid to do. Yah, I listened to the radio, but I wasn't endlessly talking to someone on the phone. Maybe it's my upbringing and also being cognizant in the late '60s - I subscribe to the "be here now"/zen based "live in the present" mode. "multitasking" being considered a 'plus' to me is a justification for doing half-ass work. Now get off my lawn...
