If there is going to be so much sonic doom and destruction with a Ric happening, be on the lookout for deadly bridge lift. Like after each note is played, the bridge will probably be at a full 90 degrees to the bass. It will have to be bent back everytime a fret is touched.

i can see a new sci fi program comming up.TALKBASS 5. space, the final front ear( geddit?) these are the voyages of the starship earth. its ongoing mission to seek out new sonic adventures. captain 18er and the sonic 7 probe the galaxy for the lowest, most ric smashing frequences, to unite the galaxy and turn it into one huge speaker cone that when the 18er activates his strings they will hear him throughout the universe AND KNOW WE ARE HERE.

You are confusing negativity with facetiousness. Something this thread is spilling over with. Thats ok though if you want to keep it real I'll see myself out. Good luck with your note bro! :D

Fortunately, sound doesn't propagate in a vacuum.

If certain govt entities can tap into and monitor the entire world's wireless, ground, and internet communications then certainly we can focus our efforts in saving the planet from space junk.

Only 18 can lead the way.

Exactly...

We have the technology to do it now...said technology is just being applied in the wrong areas...that's all.

One thing I learned while I was in the Army that stuck with me...

Whatever anyone thinks is the biggest, baddest, most advance technology or system there is, the ones you don't know about are at least 2 steps ahead of that....maybe more.


I mean, come on, as cool as the Blackbird is, who really believes the fastest plane ever was designed in the '50's. :confused:

Answer:

The moon is going further away from us. In the future there will be no more total eclipse of the sun.

On 21 August, 2017 a total eclipse will cross the entire USA from Oregon to South Carolina.

This also coincides with 18er's final Armageddon tour.

Be there!

(PS: 18; you say you don't handle negativity well. How can that be true when that is exactly why you are famous here? You handled it better than any TBer in TB history.)

so i start by asking what you guys, living and working, as musicians are using to get the sound im looking for (that takes a wall of speakers and folded subs and a soldano stack) and i get, and im paraphrasing, "how to collapse stadiums with an earthquake simulator or we're going to use a earth-sized cone using planetary and moon gravity to get it shaking, but how could you hear it in the vacuum of space". ***? haha lol i wish there was an emoticon for bashfull. if seen some seriously funny posts hidden in this thread #omg! i have the hipshot tuners and a buzz feiten nut to get the required mega blast from the strings in my hand and to get the neck feeling like its an exploding maple bat when you hit a railroad track with one.:bassist:

But, as you know - you also got some serious professional advice in this thread.

Now we are talking about tuners? And nuts?

And railroad tracks?

#omg!

Good god. Two 24 oz beers and an hour wasted reading this.

So we still have no idea who the bipolar on-hiatus, now returning rocker/tube amp guru - meets booteek pedal designer actually is?

Whew. deep breath... that was a mouthful.

when you said "good god" and "an hour wasted"! haha!
serriously though im interested in everyaspect to get this effect and feel of a shuttle blast when this thing "goes off" so to speak! haha still got me laughing. this is TB at its finest talking about everything that goes into this rig form what some of you are saying, idk i like the yoda comments and superpower comet gravity nuke or whatev. i mean you guys know you have to have mass on the bass to register the low freq and transmit it back to the amp bassed on how the strings throb, need a good nut and bridge etc to get that rocking!

:D

Seriously though. my opinions...

1. Find Preamp you like.
2. Contact Meyer Sound www.meyersound.com and get some tips on moving things... ;)
3. Strap in and hold on.

EDIT: users include Phil Lesh. I think he knows a thing or 2 about an "arena rock" setup, FWIW.

EDIT PART II (The Revenge of Edit): Even though it was busted.. the Brown Note Mythbusters was kinda cool [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
