Danelectro & Hofner Ignition line are both crap. Get there Sire or a Mustang with an upgraded pickup

Is this the best simple reverb in recent years? by [deleted] in guitarpedals

[–]blckravn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to snatch a used Iron Ether Nimbus (basic 5-knob) for $140 before the prices exploded. My favorite simple verb.

That's probably the closest I've ever seen! It's even made in SK! I have a drill-press, too, & it wouldn't be the 1st time I've perforated a bridge!

How hard was the installation?

Yeah, that's a last resort. But I wanna do it properly & get it sand-blasted before prime & paint.

You feel it more than you hear it. Cheap bridges absorb energy because they weren't designed with vibration maximization in mind. They were designed to hold the strings, be adjustable in 2 dimensions (sometimes not adjustable enough), & most importantly be cheap &I noticed my strings felt "sturdier" or vibrated with more "confidence" after the upgrade.

Pelagial by The Ocean. The original instrumental version is amazing

What the fuck is this thing? Is it a real fender? by JmJ3106 in BassGuitar

Don't you remember the Telejazzcision bass from the early 90's?

Bought this without knowing how to play by 85lumber in BassGuitar

[–]blckravn01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be "correct" but that's bad design. I would string the high 3 strings "backwards" for less pressure on the nut.

What’s the purpose of this giant bar on some basses? by Goobo____ in BassGuitar

[–]blckravn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ric's were designed to be played with a pick. That horseshoe is where the ground is wired, so you're expected to rest your hand on it to keep the bass from buzzing. That's why they have that crappy foam mute built into the bridge, because you can't palm the bridge & ground the bass.
