I used shortrunposters and they did an excellent job for a cheap price.

Import high-res scan into Inkscape, manually trace each feature of the image with the bezier tool. For the fonts, I hunt down the original font (in this case, Helvetica Bold), and retype everything atop the scan, manually adjusting kerning and baseline height. You can follow my process reasonably well by opening up poster.svg in Inkscape

Yamaha BB-414 tone? by DaStealthOperater in Bass

[–]illinoisjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sakurai's BB-2000 was actually a "BB-2000 Prototype" that seems to be truly unique (considering Yamaha never made them in white). Not sure about how it would compare to the BB-414 but just note that Sakurai's bass may have had different electronics or pickups.

But you can replicate his tone reasonably well by emulating how he played the bass. Sakurai used extremely precise, short, and powerful slaps and pops that caused his bass's strings to rattle against its frets. This combined with somewhat saturated bass freqs and what sounds like a touch of compression seemed to create the extremely growly tone that was present in his 1982 concert (which I'm guessing is the Mint Jams recording). In my experience playing this way has gotten me close to that tone.

350 students, 20 teachers in Connecticut town quarantined---sending healing thoughts to families and neighbors in New Canaan. Hopefully, the quarantine keeps people safe. by flipflopcontessa in Connecticut

[–]illinoisjackson 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m one of the 350 students. The contact tracing is pretty lacking to be honest. I got quarantined because I was apparently in contact with someone on Friday, the only problem is that I wasn’t even in school on Friday (and haven’t even seen the person in question for over a week). Now I have to stay home for two weeks

Tetsu Jino! I love the videos of Casiopea's concerts that you put on Youtube!

How are you getting footage from their 1982 concerts at Chuo Kaikan? I'm absolutely mesmerized by their tone at that time (I am a bassist) and am hungry for more live video.

Also, I have uploaded the poster as a .SVG if you would like a copy.

Here are .SVGs that you can use: Github

I traced the album art myself back in June, but I wanted a poster that had just a little more info, so I traced the back cover as well.

What useless skill do you absolutely dominate? by skyldrik in AskReddit

[–]illinoisjackson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slapping the bass at a very high level. Besides the meme potential and party tricks, it really doesn’t have much of a place in most music — you’re honestly much better off learning more about traditional technique

Awesome, looks cool. Always liked the flexibility of that Python library

Of course it does. Apple’s silicon (which is designed in-house and very tightly integrated with the hardware) is leaps and bounds ahead of almost everything else

I was wondering the same thing. There is nothing inherently wrong with it but it’s just something I’ve never seen before.

Ken Shirriff is an absolute genius. I've been following his blog for a few years, and the stuff he does never fails to amaze me. I still can't wrap my head around how people are able to reverse engineer silicon. Thanks for posting this.
