_Sweet Willie_ Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 JBFLA, I would be interested in beta-testing if you need some help. Word. Sign me up as well... Maybe you can bring some to the BBB Fest this summer? Peace. --s-uu spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.

jcadmus Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 So many quotes affirming my view. I don't think I've ever felt this right about anything in my life! "Tours widely in the southwestern tip of Kentucky" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picker Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Right angle(bass end)-straight(amp end). If I am using pedals, I prefer straights in & out of them, and I prefer a straight end for the amp. It just seems to work out better for me that way. Always remember that you are unique. Just like everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butcherNburn Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I prefer right-angle--straight, with the right-angle plug for the bass. It just seems to tuck it out of the way a little better. Bingo has bee called. If you think my playing is bad, you should hear me sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BargeOn Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I like these: http://www.bayoucables.com/store/catalog/images/ra1.gif That way, a man or woman has a choice. I don't like those because part of the tone, especially 23.5 to 25.7k, can't negotiate the turn and gets stuck in that reservoir at the top of that picture. And then, once in a while, the upper mids cake up and reach critical mass and all spew out at once. You don't want to be in front of a horn when that happens, even when it's attenuated to zero. Yeah, that happend to me practicing in my living room, ' had to take my cat to the vet .... Been using straight-straight ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny B Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 As George Clinton said; "It's depending on the angle of the dangle Increased by the heat of the meat" Each to their own I guess.

And then, once in a while, the upper mids cake up and reach critical mass and all spew out at once. I like the roll-off of the frequencies, but I did have a problem of the build-up at a gig. I drill a small hole in the top of the reservoir to release the pressure; just do not drill it too big or you will lose too many of the frequencies. I used a micro-bit with my Dremel, about 1/128". Can you get them in different angles to change the q factor of the filter? I've only seen them use different grades of copper to do that. back to the thread My bass only works with right angle plugs. I've had the socket changed out (now a planet waves one) but still need to use right angle plugs if I want a good connection all the time. "But man it sounds soooooooo much better flat.

You have to be kidding me. If you are interested Bass guitar doesn't go past 6000Hz.....The human ear frequency range is roughly 20 Hz - 20 kHz. "Yeah, I've got a special effect - it's this cable.

I used to have one that was hand bent by naked amazonian indians around a former made from ancient wood found deep in the amazonian rain forest. It avoided all the above mentioned problems, but I lent it to a Guitarist who accidently played the intro to Stairway to Heaven. It was never the same again.

Edro Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Do you have a preference for which kind connects to your bass, your amp, your pedal board...? Nope, whatever I grab that works. Does it matter to you whether the bass has a sidejack or frontjack? Most of the time I sit while playing, and the front jack is better to have when you're a klutz like me.

Amazonian quality may be good, but nothing compares to the hand-formed metalwerk of Black Forest gnomes. My right angle plug is a Telefunken from 1967, it was used at Woodstock on Jimi's guitar and has been part of touring rigs with CTA, ELP, BTO, and The Who. I know this because I bought it off eBay for $342.00 plus $20.00 shipping. The original receipt was signed by roadies from each tour, but the seller couldn't include it in the auction because Willie Nelson rolled a joint with it in '82. - Matt W.

Yo, M-Dub -- yours didn't make the touring rigs of ELO, the AWB, or AWB&H?!?! That's a shame. Keith Richards snorted coke and his dad's ashes out of my right angle plug, and then he used it as a hash pipe before converting it to a crack pipe for Rick James. Fo' real, yo. I get insane harmonic transference when I use that plug now. Peace. --SW spreadluv Fanboy? Why, yes! Nordstrand Pickups and Guitars. Messiaen knew how to parlay the funk.
