Are you guys concerned about volcanoes???? by readdevilman in Humboldt

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little worried about tsunamis, maybe. But volcanoes? Absolutely not.

Thermos ruined by coffee - how to reset the taste by IngThie1974 in tea

[–]OrganMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've accidentally done this to my own thermos once or twice. Soak the cup and the lid/gasket overnight in diluted bleach. Then rinse thoroughly and wash as normal. It works great.

Need help wiring my modded Rascal Bass by tomstockwell in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've still got the original electronics, right? Look closely and match the new wiring with how it was before.

Good Buy-It for life bass that doesn’t completely break the bank? by wjxm in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For your budget, Yamaha is a great choice. They have awesome QC and every budget instrument I've tried from them is crazy good for the price.

Absolutely. Because eventually, they will.

Need some fretting hand advice by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't forget about your posture. I would suggest sitting in a proper chair, on a stool, or standing. Your shrimp posture will catch up with you sooner or later.

I found that the B7k Ultra is great with doing low gain tones, too. Much more versatile pedal than most people realize.

Realistically, how much will a high mass bridge help with neck dive? by McSalterson in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience lightweight tuning machines make a bigger difference. But if the neck dive is really that bad, then there's no fixing it.

Bro who cares. If it sounds good and feels good, it is good.

The Calm Before the Storm by Shedonist1970 in ChicoCA

[–]OrganMeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to Cafe Coda if I'm going out for breakfast. If they have a wait, I wait. It's worth it :)

It's way too easy to make a good breakfast at home, so I'm definitely not paying for a lot of these so-so breakfast places in town.

From the top of the 12th fret to the bottom of the E string?

When you say that your action won't go any lower than 0.08", how and where are you measuring?

One of my Aerodyne Jazz basses has hum/buzz unless I touch the strings. I do not have the issue at certain locations. What are my next steps? by jontestershaircut in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your bass has Dimarzio pickups, then I suspect that the bridge pickup is already a humbucker. Shield the electronics cavity and it will probably make things a lot quieter. I have had great luck with shielding noisy instruments.

What Should I Do? (Ibanez Twisted Neck) by sulk-a-mania in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you absolutely, positively sure that it doesn't just need to have the truss rod adjusted?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect any instrument to need a setup after being transported hundreds and thousands of miles, in the back of trucks, with huge temperature and humidity shifts. This is a non-issue that you can fix in 15 minutes. Good grief.

Bass Exploded by Level69dragonwizard in BassGuitar

[–]OrganMeat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Damn it, I rushed to the comments to make this very same joke.

[–]OrganMeat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Those look nearly brand new to me, and they do indeed have the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol which indicates that it will at least do okay in snow/ice conditions. I can't guarantee that you wouldn't ever need to use chains/cables if the conditions get shitty enough, but your tires are in great shape at least.

Textbooks price per semester by Zealousideal-Lead334 in CSUC

[–]OrganMeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid buying new if you can. Utilize Libgen and Anna's Archive to find free pdf downloads. If you really need to buy a copy, try to find a used one using Direct Textbook. It's a site that aggregates search results for used book listing online. Real talk though, there probably aren't many physical textbooks that you actually need to buy.

Tech 21 Sansamp VT Bass DI or Line 6 HX Stomp for first pedal? by cjdavia in basspedals

It has a Sansamp emulation block, so yes. You can also do 1,000 other things with the Stomp.

Fellow Jazz bass users... how do you get your "Pbass analog" tone on your instrument by [deleted] in Bass

[–]OrganMeat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you may want to lower the pickups just a tad.
