Dude,that was awesome,I enjoyed the wshole enchilada,con carne asada! I'm a deportee from SD,Oceanside.I'm in TJ going through the loco motions,but is hard as hell! But that's to be expeced when one is used to eat steak,and downgrade to peanut butter!I hope you get the pun on this one,but Mexico is by far no where close to clean U.S.A!!! I'm a beginer in bass,just to pass the boring time here.Wish I had all the the luxaries you have at your disposal, I would build me a kick ass bass like the one you did! Keep up the good work!
The most USA channel I’ve ever came across. I’m less than 01 minute into it, there was church, worship and guns already. Ahahaha Epic. Kind regards from across the pond.
At 4.47 you can clearly see that fret was not properly seated .. there's a gap under the fret that is larger than your average room in london 😂😂😂😂 ... Before doing any levelling ensure that frets are seated well and you wont need to take as much off the fret material
The after bass sounded cleaner compared to the before bass. If I was good enough, I would reward myself with that style Rick. I can understand the novelty of vintage bass guitars, however the ideas you have implemented seems to be of a practical build.
Henry didn't "fix" the "problems" with traditional lever guns. The Winchester 1895, the Savage 1899, and the Browning BLR (currently in production) all have box magazines that allow the use of "modern" calibers and spitzer (pointed) bullets. The later-production Savage 99s had detachable magazines, as does the BLR. The Henry Long Ranger seems to be the BLR with a few design changes. I'm looking for information on the Henry vs. the BLR, but all I'm finding are Henry's RU-vid shills telling me what everyone already knows about lever guns, proclaiming Henry as the modern inventor of what's been available for more than a century. For the record, I do think Henry make fine rifles (I never wanted a pistol caliber carbine, other than my Marlin 1894 .3/.357, until I laid eyes on and fired a shooter's Homesteader at the range). I'm trying to find the pros and cons of the Long Ranger vs. the BLR, as I plan to buy one or the other this year. One BLR advantage is that it's available in a takedown model: also, there's a choice of straight stock pistol grip (straight stock only for the takedown) versions.
Great review and great playing, impressive! I want to be sure that the head was not connected to a cabinet (or load) on your review, wasn't it? Let me rephrase the question: Will it work without a cabinet or it has to to be connected to one?
the prob with that machine is it’s belt driven and eventually the belts get loose and tolerances suffer. if you wanna expand it just make longer rails and adjust the limit switches in the machine and in the software
I think you just made a mistake: you cut the "fake nut" in the wrong way, from the bottom ; I guess it's not intended to work this way; I mean, to put it in the position to work properly, it's necessary to cut just the strings channels, till you get them in contact with the 0 fret, so they 're ok, because after that every string tension will force its pressure against the 0 fret ; and because of the deep cuts, strings will stay in place. That plastic thing is not a nut, it is just a retainer
In the Marine corps we use torifle qualified with our M16 and iron sights at 200, 300, and 500 yards. The 500 yard section is 10 shots over 10 minutes laying prone on a man sized target, and every Marine had to do it
i have been watching Dan from about the start. and i do not think a lot of you understand his videos from the comments. he has been doing his videos to show the people who are not pros that you can do these thing without professional tools. he has helped a lot of people understand and fix a lot of stuff at home. yes by now he could buy a bunch of tools from stew mac but that is not what his videos is about he makes it work and for what he has he does a great job. i mean he has been in build of videos with some of the best builders and he has done really good. and to do a Floyd rose without templets or anything is really good. i know this is a old video but even though i have watched this before i still go back to his videos and watch them several times.
What do you think about replacing the cheap small stock 250k pots with quality full size 500k pots and a .022uf Orange Drop cap? I have found that this simple inexpensive upgrade to my Squier Precision Bass vastly improved the tonal range options and sound quality of the stock pickups. I actually have use for the tone knob now. It has full range ability from off to full on rather than only affecting the tone from 3/4 to full on.
Upgrading the nut with a bone is a great idea. However... It will only affect the sustain of the open strings. For more sustain on all notes is to have the intonation set perfectly. Professionally set intonation is the best thing you can do for any bass. Ernie Ball Cobalt Flatwounds are the best sounding and feeling Flatwounds that I have ever used.
Pickups in most budget bass guitars are fine. The best upgrade is to replace the small cheap stock 250k pots with quality full-size 500K pots and a .022uf Orange Drop cap. The increase in total options is amazing. I do like the idea of choosing a replacement Bridge with a string spacing adjustment option. It doesn't cost anymore and is very useful in most cases.
IF you can find one, get an original model Tom Scholz Rockman for Bass headphone amp!!! The original models had a clean and overdrive channel. It was the BEST overdrive I have ever heard for bass guitar!!! It didn't suck out the low end, and it was great for solos, AND shutting up mouthy guitar players!!!😂😂😂😂😂
