57 octaves above concert a is above the human hearing capacity i think hes trying to say.

Rebelius · 10th February 2005, 05:38 PM

by a LONG WAY

Concert A is around about 440Hz. The upper limit of human hearing is around 20000Hz.

For every octave, you double the frequency.

57 octaves above concert A is 440*2^57 which is much higher than 20KHz. It's about 20digits long.

Yeah but that doesn't help me. If you'd actually READ my question I want to know how I can make MY bass play an A 57 octaves above concert A.

Jeez guys

Rebelius · 10th February 2005, 05:50 PM

play nothing.

behringer ultrabass bx3000t head for 165 quid. u think i should go for it? im not to sure on what behringer are like. i was gonna buy a 2 x 10" cabinet for it for 120 quid any comments on this thing before i buy it?

I_got_a_mohawk · 6th March 2005, 10:09 PM

Its a rip off of an ashdown amp, i personally dont like it (sound wise it sounds pretty poor (altho this was through a behringer 1x15 cab)

And they are known not to last very long, but try it out if you can, not everyone has the same tastes in tone and it may sound alright with your bass

Personally i'd look into a second hand peavey, pretty damned good for a SS amp and built to last! weighs a fucking ton tho!

get your hands on a laney r5. They're worth their weight in gold.
a great all-round combo.

Nice easy bass question, I hope.

How the fuck do I stop snapping my E string so quick? Is it technique or simply bad strings?

I use D 'addario strings.

I_got_a_mohawk · 18th March 2005, 12:33 PM

The E . . . as in, the thickest. . . erm, i doubt its bad technique, unless your playing your bass with a hammer and chisel, and i dont use those strings, so wouldnt know (elixers all the way

)

What it could be, does the string always snap at the same point? at the bridge or nut, because it could be something snagging it?

Rebelius · 18th March 2005, 03:28 PM

my guess is something sharp or rough at the nut or bridge. my peavey did it all the time.

fightfightfight · 18th March 2005, 09:15 PM

my musicman sub - busted.

apparently need a new circuit board, i think not.

basically what happens is when i plug it in to a lead, i have to wrestle the lead to get some sort of sound or response from the bass.

any ideas anyone?

Rebelius · 19th March 2005, 12:51 AM

take the bit you plug the lead into and solder the wires back onto it properly if they're loose. This also happened to my peavey a lot.

(This might not be what's wrong at all)

it's most likely the socket connection on the board is dodgy. (if the jack is directly mounted on the board).
