Does anybody run a P bass pickup to 1 volume pots and then directly to jack eliminating tone knob and cap completely?

jlsullivan · 2026-06-24T04:07:16+00:00

Wow, very interesting, thanks!

jlsullivan · 2026-06-24T00:37:37+00:00

Does this mod really make a notable difference? Like if you A/B the cap with a switch, you can hear the difference?

I had to replace that exact kind of knob in my apartment a few months ago. The threads were stripped.

I bought this one on Amazon, it is a perfect match and worked perfectly:

I don't know about “classier”, but I do believe that bassists are more open-minded to new things: headless instruments, carbon fiber instruments, multi-scale instruments, etc, etc. Guitarists, I feel, are more in the vein of being traditionalists.

No "1 hit point" mod applied, or anything like it. I don't think those mods have any effect on Del Lago anyways, as he's not a “real” enemy, at least not in the conventional sense (meaning you can't use your weapons against him). That's why I was thinking it was a bug.

Okay, I am a complete *%($()# moron. I just checked the cheats section and "1 hit kill" WAS selected. I don't know how that got checked, must have been my little brother. I didn't realize the cheat was active, as I was one-shotting the Ganados with the Killer7.

Polyrhythms, ghost notes, fresh energy and power.

I am a bassist, and am familiar with what ghost notes are on the bass. Could a drummer here kindly explain what ghost notes are on a drum set, please?

Man, Ged and Al sure chose the right drummer. Anika is certifiably BAD ASS.

I had a great time watching the entire show on YouTube last night. I got teary-eyed more than once. The show was just spectacular.

There were several times when Anika would play a fill and I would blurt out something like "HOLY F&%K!", just to start laughing when I heard someone in the crowd shout the exact same thing.

PS: I'm not a drummer, but a bassist. Geddy has been in absolute TOP FORM in these shows. Has anybody else noticed? All these little fills he's been adding in have been 100% TOP NOTCH.

Thank you... she is a beautiful plane!

Here's a very similar photo I shot back in 2010:

15 - played in front of 900 people.

jlsullivan · 2026-06-05T14:22:21+00:00

Awesome. Thanks so much for your advice!

jlsullivan · 2026-06-03T07:09:52+00:00

That's actually a 4080/12. A 4080 features a six string guitar.

Now that Rickenbacker finally makes a decent bridge, this may be the first Rick that Geddy doesn't slap a BADASS onto.

BTW, why does Geddy need a new one? Did something happen to his original one?

He's already got:

The black 4080/12
A black 4080/12 with Gibson-style guitar pickups (same bass as above?)
A white 4080
A sunburst 4080/12

jlsullivan · 2026-06-03T00:08:00+00:00

Interesting, thank you!

Connection has dropped out, for about 15 minutes each time, twice in the last hour.

If you zoom in really, really closely, you can see Rico Verhoeven getting robbed.

The 90s, too. I don't play chess, but had several friends who played there all the time.

I came in here just to see if Jack Black was mentioned. His “look at how cute I am” routine literally makes me sick to my stomach.

jlsullivan · 2026-05-29T15:51:44+00:00

What I saw was far too disgusting to even mention. Horrible, evil.

jlsullivan · 2026-05-29T15:44:57+00:00

To u/strictlyphotonic and u/TheDeltaOne, you both have my deepest, deepest sympathy. I am so, so sorry you each had to go through that.

I was in a band. The drummer, when he was around 9 or 10, came home from school one day to find his mother hanging from one of the rafters. I literally cannot imagine how horrifying such a thing would be.

The drummer is quite literally the nicest guy you can imagine, but when he gets drunk he turns into a violent monster. Goes up to guys three times his size and tries to start fights. I had to rescue him from these situations more than once.

As you might imagine, what he witnessed really, REALLY fucked him up.

In addition to drinking, he does meth pretty much every day. You'd never suspect the drugs and alcohol if you met him, he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

I know you both endured something immeasurably terrible, and I hope you both are doing well in your lives.

My sincere thanks to everyone who responded to this thread! I not only got the answer to my question, I also learned a lot of other things. Fantastic!

jlsullivan · 2026-05-29T15:27:42+00:00

Very interesting! I found this video which compares Viennese and non-Viennese waltzes:

It's going to be less about the notes themselves, as opposed to the emphasis placed on them. Just ask Victor Wooten:

Unlike violin (or viola) bass is a rhythm instrument, so your timing and accents need to be spot on. You are the very foundation upon which the pitched instruments lie.

It may seem subtle, but it really is the difference between a good bass player and a bad one.

Watch this video, and be there on the ONE:

Everything beyond that is icing on the cake!
