I just posted that earlier today, you're not behind - Keep calm, play the bass!
See.....
And, Always!
A lot of the members are either lurkers or MIA. Or they check in once a year or something. But there are lots of members, and we have a lot of fun until off-topic posts get too crazy and we get shut down for a week. So we try to keep it reasonably family friendly and maintain a high ratio of THUNDERBIRD to everything-else content.
Super! Congratulations
I'm working the club list today, happy to add you.
Work it, girl...
Me, too. I've been working on Child in Time...
Sure, let me dumb that down for you.
A high pass filter is a filter that only passes frequencies higher than the cut off frequency.
Clear now?
BZZZZT! It cuts freqs below that but on a slope (seen clearly in the o-scope image farther down the Wikipedia page). It doesn't actually just cut them hard at the cutoff frequency. Rather, the farter below that frequency, the more they are cut. The slope of the cut is determined by the circuit. In audio, it's typically given as some number of db / octave.
VII also = 3, and is my favorite.
What? It's just the drum part. Boom chicka boom chicka ... <cowbell> <CRASH!> boom chicka boom chicka <riiiiidddde>
The B on the Pro V I had was Close to the Edge. I filled the bridge holes and redrilled with a centered bridge.
The E on my VP is also doing that Yes song thing, if not as badly. Since I bought it used, I doubt Epi will fix it even though it's a little over a year old. I'm debating moving the bridge on it.
I was asked to dumb it down. I went for sandbox level.
You don't really want to discuss 1st, 2nd, 3rd, ... , nth order filters and their relative cutoffs in dB/decade and the conversion to db/octave, do you? Me neither.
But I am now thinking about breadboarding a combination adjustable high-pass and low-pass filter. Pretty simple - a few 741 opamps, a couple of potentiometers, some resistors and capacitors...
Maybe if I have a beer the thought will go away.
Nah. I figured the ability to vary the slope was enough explanation.
Maybe it's time for the THUNDERBIRD CLUB line of pedals. And amps. And accessories. And ... birds? Needs a Big Daddy Roth-style biker logo.
That page also has a link to a project that involved another Brian May: High Pass Filter (band) - Wikipedia
If I were to start breadboarding some stuff, I would also go for some sort of Big Muff type bass fuzz. I guess it would have to be called the Big Ahem.
Likely useless and misplaced information--but my Sonic Maximizer said to put it in the E-Loop or last in the chain. It's not a HPF, but seems to function in somewhat a similar fashion. Somewhat.

Nice! Way to go! Try some flats on one of those. Cobalts and Fenders sound great.
Interesting. That used to be the case with me but over the last 10 years or so I’ve gone over to favour the studio.
just to confuse things, I really like live DVDs. AC/DC at River Plate... wow.
Fantastic! Glad you're happy. Should provide happiness for years and years.
You are disturbing, yes, I said that!
Thank you. There. It's finally been said. But he's going to take it as a well deserved compliment.
