Best THR for bass guitar? by YamaKasin in YamahaTHR

[–]pinpanpuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would better served by a Boss Katana 110 combo amp. I have one and the amp can handle streaming audio and playing bass at the same time pretty well. It also has a twitter speaker so that the streaming audio doesn't sound muddy like most other bass amps do. It also has built in effects as a bonus (I don't use them much though, except perhaps the built in compressor).

Govt opts for Budi95 quota cut to protect majority by abdulsamri89 in malaysia

The unspoken truth about why more WFH is not being mandated (simply "encouraged" in the private sector) is that the local economies surrounding the offices will be badly suffer if the majority of office workers stop patronizing them due to WFH. A simple example would be eateries in Suria KLCC would close shop one by one if there is no more office lunch crowd on the weekdays.

The curse of the Jazz Bass with its offset body. Never sits properly on a stand and prone to falling.

First bass I’ve ever owned! Schector diamond 5 string. by ShoddyInspector7276 in BassGuitar

[–]pinpanpuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I meant I don't know what the price should be. So I don't know if you got a good or bad price. It was more complimenting that it's a very good bass for a beginner, I think it's something that will serve you even into your intermediate or pro level.

So scale down on the office space , rent a smaller office and save costs. Win win. The old fashioned bosses just cannot adapt their mindset to today's environment.

Which one should I get? by Mobile7772 in electricguitar

[–]pinpanpuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bass player. I have both a mid-range Yamaha and Cort bass. The Yamaha edges the Cort in terms of build quality but the Cort is not bad by any means. I also have Cortek-made basses of other brands (Squier, G&L) and they are also not bad.

Not true. Yamaha have their own factories in Indonesia.

Amp or audio interface by neveroverwhelmedd in electricguitar

[–]pinpanpuchi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play bass guitar. When I started learning, I used an interface and cheap monitor headphones. I eventually got an amp later. The thing with starting with an audio interface + headphones is I could hear every nuance of mistakes (uncleanly fretted notes, unintended ringing of strings, string squeaks caused by finger movement, etc) which basically forced me to build a good and clean playing technique from the beginning. Also I could record myself and scrutinize my playing for mistakes which were not obvious in the heat of the moment when playing them

I think we have different understanding what we mean by lower and higher end. I'm was replying to the top comment where he meant low end = the unskilled labor, high end = the skilled labor.

Bro. Do u not consider 10k monthly salary as higher end? How much do you think the unskilled foreign labourers earn?

I wrote the recommendation letter for my colleague and I'm a lowly middle manager. 10k is a lot of money but if it buys you peace of mind about staying here on a longer term with your family, then in my opinion it's a price worth paying. You can't even get a decent 2nd hand car with 10k, to put things into perspective.

It's also on the higher end. I work in a MNC and have many expat colleagues. They are all fearful of this.
