    V77 Care and Feeding

    I recently came across a V77 at a price that I couldn't resist....:cool: I've had the chance to test it out a bit, and I'm a very happy camper, but since I'd like to keep this one around for a long time, I'd like to care for it as well as possible. I wonder if I should be concerned about how...

    I call shotgun...

    ...mic, that is!! :) I won a BeyerDynamic 86N C S shotgun mic on the bay recently, and hope to use it for voiceover work, as an alternative to the Sennheiser 416 (which is beyond my budget). Has anyone had any experience with this particular mic, especially in a VO application? I've seen...

    The Old JoeMeek VC6 MeekBox

    I just got one of these in pretty clean condition.... ...I've used the search function, but most of the posts about this unit are (obviously) older posts, so please forgive me for bringing up old stuff, but... ...is anyone using one of these currently? If so, do you have any little words of...

    Strap button location

    Stupid newbie question probably, but here goes: I'm most comfortable playing my fretless bass at a fairly upright, almost 40 degree angle, but if left to settle on its own, it settles into to about an 80 degree angle, so matter how I adjust the strap itself, and I find that I'm constantly having...

    Avalon M5 as vocal preamp?

    I know that it just has the Hi-Z input, but is there anyone here who has used it as a mic pre, either with a Hi-Z microphone, or by means of clever rerouting? I love the sound of the Avalon 2022 that I have at work for VO, and also as a killer bass DI, but don't have that kind of budget....the...

    Picking Up Radio Signal ?

    I was practicing with my new (used cheap) fretless bass, plugged into my practice amp today, using my headphones so that I could crank it up a bit without disturbing anybody...I was playing with the volume and tone controls for the different pickups -I'm still getting to know this bass, and I...

    Fret Buzz Returns

    I've got a short-scale Cort bass that I picked up a little over a year ago...it had a little bit of fret buzz when I got it, so I took it to my local shop for a restringing and a setup. This all but eliminated the buzz for a while, it had a lovely tone, and I assumed that any buzz I still had...

    Orthophonic High Fidelity

    A little bit off-topic, but I've got my dad's old RCA Victor Orthophonic High Fidelity radio receiver and turntable, in a really handsome cherrywood cabinet, that I'd like to restore to working condition. Years ago, I had rewired my new receiver through its speakers, and I remember the sound...

    Is there such a thing....

    ....as an endpin for a bass guitar? Or some other stand or way to play the instrument vertically, like a double bass? I just got a bass that's really comfortable in the upright position - it plays like a cello, but I can't figure out how to hold the lil SOB. The strap attachments are on the neck...

    Easy Bass Beatles Songs?

    Am still very much the newbie player, but I'm getting to the point where I'd like to add some songs to the repertoire, rather that just scales and such, so that if the opportunity presents itself, I could play with other people. I was thinking specifically about Beatles music, since almost...

    Where's your thumb?

    I'm a newbie bass player trying to teach myself through downloaded lessons, and just playing around to see what feels right. A lot of lessons I've seen recommend resting your thumb on the pickup, so you can slide down for muting the E string. I find that I'm most comfortable resting my thumb on...

    Testing Pickups - Newb Question

    So, I commited the cardinal sin of buying off the 'bay, and my lovely new (used) short-scale bass, which fits me like a glove, has no output! :mad: I've visually checked the wiring, etc, but still no output. It seems that the pickup would be the next thing to check, but I haven't a clue about...

    Baby-sized Hands - Short-scale bass?

    OK.....I have hands the size of a very small child, but I really want to learn to play bass..... :o I've been looking at short-scale and 3/4 scale basses; what is the difference? I read someplace that short-scale is tuned differently, but somebody else told me that wasn't true..... .....surely...
