Do you not own earbuds? I use one mic. I can hear it just fine I’m mine. You’re free to make better clips, man.

The bass sounds awesome... I just can't hear a word your saying unless I crank it up... but then when you start playing the speaker flies off the shelf! I was doin' ok with turning it up & down at the appropriate times until ya started goin' back & forth too fast (at which point, I was pretty sure you were just fvckin' with me)

It's not impossible that my screwed up speaker jack could have sup'm to do with that... but I'm sure you woulda laughed yer @ss off watchin' me try to deal with it

Quick clip of the Broughton Audio LPF/HPF if anyone’s interested in that sort of thing

What voltage PSU are you using? Standard -9V?

 

[kat888]

Ha! No gigs until tomorrow. Me and the girl have a dinner date with some friends pretty soon though

Who told you you could have a life?

Looks like Epiphone is cheaping out on the Vintage Pro already. On the Sweetwater site the bass listed as 8 lbs. 6oz. Has different tuners, the shafts are tapered and shorter. Not the Wilkinsons on earlier basses.

They still say Wilkinson on them (including the 8lbs 6oz)

Ah ! I couldn't read it. Still different tuners on the one, shorter, tapered posts.

Seems like it might be a change in Wilkinson's product, probably nothing to do with Epi. But I can't find their tuners on their website at all, so who knows.

The black ones are HOT!

Yeah they are!!!

Digging the sound of the bass and the shirt.

I just used a 1 Shot. I’ll try it at 18v soon and see if I notice a difference

Oops :/

I'm with the Fix on this one. I would like to clearly hear your mellifluous voice.

Some T Bird love from the band The Unsemble, featuring Duane Denison (Jesus Lizard, Tomahawk, Legendary ShackShakers) on guitar, Alex Hacke (Einsturzende Neubauten) on bass and Brian Kotzer (Silver Jews) on drums

 

[GBassNorth]

The Epi VP Tbird had it's first run with the band last night.
Oh my goodness!
They really got these right.

Still experimenting with different strings on mine. What strings are you using?

If I were playing a VP, I’d be looking for a somewhat darker sounding Nickel string, personally...or maybe Cobalt flats even

The gear/mounting plate is smaller, too. Must be to cut down on neck dive.
Oddly it's only on the one sunburst at Sweetwater. Everything else has the larger ones. I also checked AMS, and the sunburst they are showing has the small ones also. Serial numbers on the ones with large tuners appear to be prior to 1709xxxxxxx.
