The instrument has a Retro electronics layout, yet it is a recently purchased Bass, just a bit more than a year ago.

fedex failed again so, I had to take a day off from work and go pick up this #Fberma #shortscale #electricguitar #viola / #violin. It shipped in a hardshell case which I strapped to the rack of my #bicycle.
On the way back, just a mile or two from where I live, I squeezed passed a long line of cars waiting at a light near a school where kids crossed that had a #police crossing guard. I accidentally rubbed the case against some guy' circa 2005-2010 (?) white car. Poor him might have a little scuff to buff out! 😭😭😭 My case is fine, BTW.
This #normie #jock gets out, runs down the block, across the street, pulls me off the #bike and punches me.

This is the ugly soldering work done in my Bass guitar by Ibanez
My D string plays about 3 deciBels softer than my other strings, which is why I open the back of the Bass up to see what is wrong. I shall inspect the pickup elements at another point in time -
Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.
Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.
Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜
Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.
Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.
It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

Bass Guitar Amplifier Adjustment
Adjusting a bass guitar amplifier involves setting the EQ (equalization) and other controls to get the best tone for your style, venue, and preferences. Here’s a step-by-step guide to dialing in your bass amp settings:
1. Set Initial Controls
Gain: Start with the gain at a low level. Increase it gradually until you hear distortion, then back off until the sound is clean. If you prefer a grittier tone, leave the gain slightly higher.
Volume: Set the volume to a comfortable level. Adjust it based on your playing environment, such as practicing alone or playing with a band.
2. Adjust EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble)
Bass: Controls the low-end frequencies. Increasing the bass can add warmth and depth. For a more defined sound, avoid cranking the bass too high, as it can make the sound muddy.
Mids: Mids are essential for a clear and punchy tone, especially in a mix. Higher mids add clarity and presence; reducing them can create a scooped sound often used in slap bass.
Treble: Controls the high-end frequencies. Increase it for more clarity and definition, or roll it back for a warmer sound.
3. Use Shape/Contour Controls (if available)
Many bass amps have a "shape" or "contour" control that adjusts the mids for different tones. Experiment to see how these affect your sound, especially if you want a quick, scooped tone.
4. Experiment with Extra Features
Compression: Some amps have a built-in compressor, which smooths out your dynamics and adds sustain. Start low, increasing only until it’s just noticeable.
Drive or Overdrive: If you like a more aggressive, gritty tone, use the drive/overdrive knob to add subtle distortion.
5. Room Acoustics
Adjusting your EQ based on the room’s acoustics is important, especially for live gigs. Rooms with a lot of bass resonance may require turning down the low-end or cutting certain frequencies.
6. Test and Fine-Tune
Play different styles and techniques, like slap, fingerstyle, and pick, to see how your tone holds up.#Music #Audio #Bass #ShortScale #Behringer #Guitar #SoundEngineering #Joyo #Pedal

Still kinda sad I found an interesting Ibanez 2030 short scale #bass locally for cheap but the person never replied to my message (even sent shortly after posting) and then yanked listing.
It kind of matched all my requirements - short scale since I want to see if that helps with my back and hands, it's definitely something different than the normal and it was quite cheap. I have a number of other oddball basses so it would have been right at home with some early 80s #matsumoku basses and a late 90s #ibanez #sr800
Ah well, I guess I'll just have to be patient and see what else floats around the local markets. Sometimes interesting things do show up.

I'm debating turning my #GLguitars Fallout #shortscale #bassguitar into a #PiccoloBass. Tuned as:
B1 - .024
E2 - .036
A2 - .046
D3 - .060
G3 - .080The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With #DRstrings, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings.
With a #Kahler *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.

@worthuelse @gigabecquerel my son never learned milliard in his British school, it’s been out of use since 1974 according to this article:
https://blog.harwardcommunications.com/2013/05/21/the-difference-between-milliard-and-billion/
Thankfully we were away of this difference in naming the numbers when we moved to Germany when he was 12.
