Weird think is Mascis uses his muff as his clean tone. Basically just to ad a little grit to his clean tone. It’s always on, and he required it so the stomp switch bypasses the volume pot. I think he hits hit for his boost when he is soloing. I always figured it was his dirty sound, but I’m...

I’m not up on my Iron Maiden lore. I thought it was Harris. No pass on the shorts then, sorry.

He isn't playing at the moment. Exceptions can be made during non-performance periods. Except shorts, the closest allowance is for being at the beach or swimming pool and wearing swimming trunks. However in the (extremely) rare case you are a bass player who also flies your bands tour plane...

I’ve read a lot of good things about the cheap tube amps on mono price.

Yup. Contours might make guitars a little more comfortable if you’re sitting down, but you’re supposed to stand up to play Rock n’ Roll. (And remember kids, there are no shorts in Rock n’ Roll.) So let’s review… Correct Be loud Scare old people Did I mention the loud thing Incorrect...

Maybe you got the idea from the American Ultra Jazz that they make right now. It has a compound radius https://www.fender.com/en-US/electric-basses/jazz-bass/american-ultra-jazz-bass/0199022790.html

I picked one up as well. Have had a terrarium board for a little while waiting. I suppose I should try to figure out what the daisy actually does :)

Yeah, it is weird. The guitar analogy is that strings are easier to bend on a Les Paul thank they are on a Tele, because of the lower tension. It’s counter intuitive though because it seems like the longer length of a fender would make bends easier. I suppose if the fender was tuned down to...

Saw hints at a new Dinosaur Jr rig rundown coming, that would be cool. j has some interesting stuff on his board. Not to drag up a dead horse, but also ran across this today https://consequence.net/2021/12/eric-clapton-sues-woman-selling-bootleg-live-recording/amp/ Gotta say it again, guy...

Yeah, I checked the math. It’s a solid as 2+2=5

Think it has to do with string tension. There’s more tension on the longer strings, hence the poppier sound. Less tension gives a loose, more open, hollow sound.

Most Gibson and Fender short scale basses are 30.5". There are a couple that are 32" but it is pretty rare. A few that are shorter like the Pocket Bass (I forget maybe an Airline or something like that), but they are super uncommon and not great because the string tension is too floppy and they...

Short scale basses are great, I used one for years as my primary bass. They are really fun to play. But I've found over the years that the sound most people want when they talk about getting a bass is the Pbass. Not to say others don't sound good, but the Precision defiantly has "that" sound.

Squier affinity PBass all the way. Good value for your money. I had one for years. After a little setup work, that I did by myself, thing was an awesome player.

Really?! I had no idea that was the case. I was thinking the limitation was the control set up.

That is the case, however there are exceptions where it is not true. Some Fv1 programs are designed to run on specific circuits that may have additional controls (like the eqd rainbow machine). The standard for FV1 is three control parameters for the effect plus a blend control and volume, so as...

Yeah, plus if you socket the eprom you can also switch it out to try other effects. There are a ton of different effects you can get for it. It is digital, but it can sound very good. It can also sound incredibly bad and digital. All come down to the platform and whoever programmed the effect...

Think my fav is a line from Skip Tracer by Sonic Youth, it's spoken word over a cool groove. "Shouting the poetic truths of high school journal keepers" The lyrics to the whole thing are great, but that line in particular has stuck with me. Also a big fan of Freak Scene's lyrics (Dinosaur Jr.)

Interesting, I hope mine don't turn amber. Though I doubt they will. I think I finished the earliest ones 4-5 years ago. I also did just a couple really light coats.

I mean, as long as you don’t share any off it with your employees, but why would anyone do that?
