[Gaolee]

Making maple syrup again? Blend log to pulp and strain isn't it?

Exactly.

i keep going back to Lou Reed. How can you argue with Aynsley, Bruce, Wagner and Hunter?

And some Brecker Bothers.

God I love that album.

 

[Gaolee]

Doing my best

I appreciate the effort and sacrifices.

 

[MCF]

So there's a Goth nearby for $150 (w/practice amp, but I never use one), and a Cassic Pro for $375 a little ways north...

I could do it...

I miss the Goth I had, wonky neck and all. I keep looking for a good buy on one...

 

[JJR58]

God I love that album.

Perfect!

Got my mobile rig all wired up and tested. The mic preamp casing ain’t pretty to look at, but it sounds nice!

I talked to the guy who built the pre amps. They’re in fact a 1:1 replica of API 512A mic amps. Not super common as a stand-alone pre, but that’s the pre that came in every API console from 1968-1974 or thereabouts, before the original owner was bought out. When he left, all the techs and designers went with him.
I deeply regret getting a 13” MacBook Pro...such a tiny screen is frustrating!
Can’t wait to use this on Sunday!

The old school label gun labels are cool.

 

[MCF]

Spoiler.
I’m not sorry for the fso.

Nor should you be. I love mine.

A '65. i didn't put that J p'up in there. Just another pre liberated bass.

 

[Gaolee]

Fairly?

Straightest face in the internet.

 

[JJR58]

What, how?, c'mon. why not.

Grind?

Grind?

The guy who made it has a twisted sense of humor...
GRIND= gain
FLIP= phase reverse
GHOST= phantom power

Obviously. Still ... Case is good -- no one's going to think that's a primo piece of kit and lift it while you're looking the other way.

Don't know whether to do the cheap Goth(no neck dots, yes), the nicer, neck-thru, more trad Classic Pro, or just hold out.

No ones ever gonna have the chance to lift it. My recording rig is somewhat humble, but I have well over $10k wrapped up in it so far. At this point in life, that’s a lot of dough for a lowly bass player

Keep a cottonmouth tethered to it to discourage miscreants.

 

[JJR58]

And nobody mess with Kat or Count. Or i'll have to use the Karma Excelorator on you.
