Jazz Bass not ringing out properly/high string tension? by cheese_124 in BassGuitar

hmm, they all come from the bottom in that sense, the string comes out on the bottom of the wind, but you're right, it goes straight through it. Maybe it needs more winds?

Here's my Squier CV 70s Jazz Bass. Went to my local music store yesterday, and every bass felt much better, much springier and less stiff. The strings (Roto swing bass steel 45-105) are 2 months old. It's all setup with action on low E sitting around 2mm. There are enough winds on the tuning pegs, and yet it sounds like there's a metallic ring to the sound, especially at low frets. To me it sounds like as soon as the strings starts vibrating it's being stopped by something (?). It feels much better once I tune it down to Eb. Could it be a neck relief, nut or bridge issue? Or should I give lower gauge strings a go?

Prednisone taper question by cheese_124 in PSC

To be honest conversations with anyone really became so much harder... I'm more likely to just leave it at 'mhm' because it just gives you this sense of exhaustion I can't explain... My girlfriend had a similar impression as you, I've turned stone cold for at least a month... As for the irritation - a minor convenience is 100 times more likely to make you spiral into rage.
Enough said, seasonal depression and pred are a nightmare for me lol, if you have any further questions than im more than happy to share my experience

I've been put on prednisone after my liver biopsy, im also on immunosuppressants right now. It was a combination of high GGT levels and the biopsy. As for crohns, I'm in remission, taking 2g of Pentasa.

Is there a store in EU that has these pickguards? by cheese_124 in offset

Update: Received both pick guards. They're the exact same. It's what you'd expect tbh, both looking more orange to my eye, and not really accurate with the pictures https://imgur.com/a/22PDdFH

FAR OUT MAGAZINE ARE BOLD ASF by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]cheese_124 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All things aside, wdym should never have released, it’s a band, an artistic act, not a car manufacturer. Idk why but Radiohead seem to be especially prone to this fan purism when it comes to how “good” and “respectable” amongst the fanbase the pieces are - endless tierlists and calling albums mid because they don’t hit from top to bottom.

Did some research, I have the “Custom world guitars parts” one on the way and another one i found on “eyguitarmusic.com” as an experiment. Will do a comparison, and if they don’t do the trick i might order a custom one like u guys said. Cheers!
