Well, it's that time of year again, time to renew the web hosting. And for those of you that don't know, that has become a lot more expensive than it used to be. Fifty dollars a year is now several hundred. Not to mention the price of domain names has gone up ten-fold.
And I just found out that the nice folks at PayPal disabled all my Support buttons, and I never got a notice (although that may be my fault.) In any case, it is all working again now, so if you would like to make a small donation to help defray these costs, it would be greatly appreciated.
Hurrian Hymn No. 6
The oldest known melody - circa 1400 B.C. That drone note starts to drill into your head after a while.
While surfing the internets, I found this list of drummer jokes that someone has maliciously edited into bass player jokes. These are the worst ones. This is not funny at all. This is the sort of thing that gives guitarists a bad name.
Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb? A: Only one - but the guitarist has to show him first.
Not sure what possessed me at the time, but I built this with A250 tone pots and B500 volume pots, and the B pots are doing their usual on/off switch behavior - no change until almost zero, then cut off completely. After my most recent testing, I have concluded that B pots have no place in a guitar at all. I probably did this because I have just two A500 pots in the parts bin, one mini and one full sized. A few days ago I ordered a lot of them, when they come in, I will swap these out. In the meantime, the B's will do, especially at full volume, so I can check this thing out.
