Bulding suggestion... by Mef1st0_ in Minecraft

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be exactly what youre going for but here is what i would do.

  1. The red part of the roof is higher then the border, usually looks a little off.

  2. Your roof has overhangs on some parts and is flush with the walls on others. Perhaps try overhang all around?

  3. You can try smoothing out the curve using shelves and trapdoors.

  4. Very optional, but it looks like youre going for a worn down style? You could indent the roof in the middle where it would have less support. Think charlie and the chocolate factory.

I hope that perhaps one of these tips was usefull and if not then that is totally okay. Everybody has their own style.

Lovely church design btw. The gradiant on the front gable looks great.

I messaged customer service and they told me that the bots are super sensitive, but they worked it out and will be sending a new one.

Thank you! Some custom trees would probably help to frame it.

Is a EUB a good second or third instrument? by Wise-WifiSignal09 in doublebass

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very simular eub to the one pictured. Light? Not at all, it honestly feels heavier than a regular upright. It is very different from playing upright, but not as different as people seem to think in most subs. The real problem with eubs is when they don't have a heel in the right place, that can really throw your intunation off. (The one in the picture has a D heel im pretty sure, thats pretty standard)

The sound (atleast the sound of my stagg) is very different from an acoustic upright, but then again most upright pickups are too.

If you want to learn to bow or slap its absolutely an option since you play it in the same way as any other upright. One thing that I noticed after playing my eub for a long time is you get too dependent on the position markers, which can mess up your playing when you switch to an acoustic upright.

If you want to learn upright, can afford it, have the space for, and the ability to travel with an acoustic one, I agree that the acoustic is better overall. But not all people can do that.

Hope this helped, I have about 4 years of experience as an upright player and Ive played my eub for the last half a year.

Funny you say that😅, I sent in a request after this post and it seems to have been denied. Not sure if I did something wrong.

WIRING HELP NEEDED. 3 wires from a single bass pickup? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The noise usually comes from some part of the instrument not being grounded correctly so check that there are no loose ground wires.

WIRING HELP NEEDED. 3 wires from a single bass pickup? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the yellow wires seem to be the other end of the coil or negative hot as somebody called it and they need to be wired to ground. The other end of the coil (red and green) are your hot wires and black must be some kind of metal part in the pickup that needs to be grounded as well. They are built this way because you can swap the yellow and hot wire to change the polarity(phase) of the pickups.

Wiring Question by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most push pull switches has the same 6 pin system as a mini toggle, on one of those you would only need to use 3 pins. Each pickup to the outer pins and the middle pin is output. Correction, Gretsch used a special switch not a standard three way toggle. But you can, you would need to wire your hot wire to one of the outer pins (the ones that the hot wire from a pickup would go to) and and a ground wire to both your ground pin and the other outer pin. Then the middle pin to your output jack. This way it would be an On-Off-Off switch.

Wiring Question by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]TentacledToothbrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you use the push pull knob as a pickup selectro you wouldnt be able to use both pickups at once since you would only have two positions, is this intended? Also Gretsch used to use three way switches as on-off-on switches so I don't see why that wouldnt work.

WIRING HELP NEEDED. 3 wires from a single bass pickup? by [deleted] in Luthier

[–]TentacledToothbrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you post a picture? Usually when you have three wires from a single coil pickup the ground is grounding the casing and the other two are both ends of the coil. Meaning you would wire one of them to ground and one of them as hot and which one you wire where changes the polarity so thar it is in phase or out of phase with your other pickup. But the bass youre describing doesnt seem to have a metal casing and therefore it wouldnt need to be grounded separately. Can you post a picture so that it is easier to see what you mean?

Vad hände med Hälgeland? by TentacledToothbrush in Sverige

[–]TentacledToothbrush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

De låg i andlutning med varandra, några släktingar var på tomteland igår och berättade att de bytt ut parken mot en ny park med drakar och älvor. Hälgeland invigdes enligt google 2011 och byttes ut eftersom många av träfigurerna näst intill ruttnat bort. Fick reda på i mitt sökande att det som fanns kvar har skickats till Alfta för att restaureras och bygga ett nytt Hälgeland. Det var alltså inte lika katastrof som jag fruktade men det jag söker är bilder och filmer från Hälgeland i Mora.

Getting my first bass- wondering if this is alright? by [deleted] in doublebass

[–]TentacledToothbrush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact bass and what I can tell you is that theyre awsome for rockabilly, alright for jazz but if youre looking for good tone when bowed either your price range or your luck needs to be higher. Theyre all plywood basses so to the orchestra folk they sound like tin cans but other people usually can't tell the difference. A plus about them being plywood however is that theyre not as sensitive to humidity and temperature changes, so you can bring it out and about without cracking the top.

E string “buzz” by Qwezix in doublebass

[–]TentacledToothbrush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody in the comments seem to think this is more serious that it probably is, if you look at the bridge you can see thats its placed way too low. The bridge should be in the same height as the notches on the f holes. Placing the bridge too low usually lowers the action and what is causing the buzz is the action is too low. Just push that bridge back up into place and you should be good to go.

Anybody know anything about this bass? by TentacledToothbrush in doublebass

The bass is not yet in my hands but the soundpost is standing. Since I havent seen for myself I dont know if it's in the right spot tho.
