I bought some kvgear racks and a cheap laptop stand for my launchpad, my back is happier for it. Should really move the crate of records somewhere more accessible now tho.
I know I already posted but hereās my new pedalboard replacement for gigs. Iām excited about it. I loathe having to lug around a pedalboard. Also, the amount of adaptor cables one must have for all of these gadgets (Zoia, op-1, OT, DN, etc. etc.) gets pretty crazy so I bought a little plastic organizer.
Whoa. That sure beats my bagging like cables in ziploc bags and keeping them in a basket I bought at cost plus. Nice idea.
Those lampsā¤ļø
Nice! I came to a similar solution for my home Studio on a slightly different scaleā¦
Ikea Malm for any cable/stuff/whatever needs beneath my working desk.
Oh, the keyboard looks like itās a placeholder for a Digitone Keys! Would perfectly fit in there instead. Just saying.
Aaah the IKEA SKUBB. I use them as well for cable management.
And I made a Eurorack case with one of them
Ooooh, are those the new Output/Barefoot monitors? How are they/whatād you have before?
are you using track 8 as a master? I have the same impression that itās output is quite hot, but itās been a while since I wasnāt using 8 as a master, that now I donāt remember if itās true when 8 is a sampling track tooā¦
Is that a Squier Classic Vibe JB? And if so, what do you think of it?
you can try, but likely itās desired for 8 to be master in the method youāre using it (as a mixer). thereās a lot of places to set levels within your setup and in the OT, so you may need to be more specific where the issue is coming in.
also: beautiful space. and for some Four Tet.
It is. Iāve always had good luck with the squire basses. Since Iām primarily a guitar player (but started with bass when I was 15), I just canāt bring myself to spend a lot on a bass. I got it from Sweetwater since they set it up so yes, it plays great. The Squire logo always bothers me a little but, they actually know how to make a decent bass.
Squier VM series are great basses for the price. The pickups are a bit lifeless and the tuners & bridge could be sturdier, but I got my Jaguar VM bass for 200⬠and itās well worth double that price. Still, thereās a huge difference between it and my CiJ Fender Jag, but the Fender one is around 800-1200 euros.
Thanks a lot, yeah, Iām not a bass player, just a ham-fisted guitarist whoād like to have a bass on hand from time to time, and Iām wondering if a CV like that would do the job just fine vs a Mexican Player or something that would be twice the price. I probably wouldnāt even mind upgrading the parts over time as long as the basics are good (ie, can I achieve a decent setup and have it hold tune reasonably well).
I donāt think they do VM basses anymore, but thatās the kind of thing Iād be looking for. I think they changed from Seymour Duncan made pickups to a Fender designed type not that long ago and people seemed to approve of that change, so maybe that aspect has improved now.
I really like the look of the CV Jaguar bass except for the laurel fingerboard (not a fan of the look or feel of laurel).
