Bass Guitar unboxing

This is my elegant Bass guitar, built by Ibanez.

  • It was fabricated in Mexico
  • QC was Zero
  • the third string plays 3 to 6dB softer than the others
  • the soldering work is shoddy. I soldered much neater when I was a 8 year old boy
  • All the potentiometers came with dust pre installed, generating annoying scratching noise in my Analogue signal chain.
  • None of the strings had the proper hight in mm. I have to adjust those myself
  • The truss rod needed some adjustments also, since the neck was not under the correct angle
  • I need to take the time and measure the passive components in the Bass; luckily there aren't many because of the passive circuit nature
  • However I will most likely buy a set of high quality Bass Pickup Elements, because that's the easiest way to eliminate the status of the pickup elements
  • I will clean out the potential meter which are there already, but
  • I will still replace all three potentiometers with smoother feel, and the condensator for the tone control.
  • I shall also buy a higher quality Bass from Yamaha in the process, because Yamaha has always provided me with wonderful PA and Studio audio equipment.
  • A gorgeously sounding Sadowski Bass is also on my Radar

Conclusion

  • After this absimal experience I understood why Sweetwater offers a wonderful new build {Bass} guitar setup, which I didn't consider, given the competitive price of this beautiful Bass
  • It is not nice to be expected to have the experience of a luthier in order to play a brand new Bass
  • Luthier skills are built over decades, you are a specialist in and out of itself
  • Bass musicians should not be expected to have those skills just to play a new instrument

I'm disappointed in Ibanez Mexico, but I will reconfigure my Bass so that it plays in a proper fashion

Heads up: there's body shaming and ableism in what follows. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]John Backus titled his 1977 Turing Award lecture to the ACM Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style? A Functional Style and Its Algebra of Programs. Section 1 is titled:
1. Conventional Programming Languages: Fat and Flabby
In the abstract, he states:
Conventional programming languages are growing ever more enormous, but not stronger. Inherent defects at the most basic level cause them to be both fat and weak: their primitive word-at-a-time style of programming inherited from their common ancestor--the von Neumann computer, their close coupling of semantics to state transitions
and later
For twenty years programming languages have been steadily progressing toward their present condition of obesity
doubling down on the body shaming and ableism. He clarifies later in the lecture that what he means by "von Neumann programming language" is one with assignment statements and manipulation of variables. Applicative (i.e. functional) languages are what he means to contrast with these stateful languages.

Several figures of that time, including Peter Landin of "the next 700 programming languages" fame, were unashamedly in love with the lambda calculus and the prospect that it could usher in a full algebraization of computer programming. Backus is interesting because here in a high-profile lecture he's explicitly referring to issues of state as making programming languages "fat" and "flabby". I suspect many of his peers felt similarly even if they weren't using such nakedly ableist metaphors.

    I came across another functional programming article about strategies for "managing side effects".

    For the uninitiated, what are typically called side effects include:

    • Input/output (to the screen, to/from a disk drive, to a printer, to/from the internet, etc.)
    • Relatedly, interaction (with the mouse, with the keyboard)
    • Statefulness ("remembering" data in RAM)
    • Parallelism (doing more than one thing at a time) and asynchrony (doing things out of order)
    In other words, what writing on functional programming refers to as a side effect is typically what a program is for. Without these "side" effects, the program would be a complicated way to make your CPU warmer. Without "side" effects, you would have no way to impact what the program is doing: not through the keyboard or mouse, not through the contents of files, not through values in the computer's memory. Nor would you have the ability to observe what the computer is doing: not on the screen, not in logs or other files, not by observing the computer's memory. You would have no way to interrupt the program, either, since doing that would require asychrony.

    In what sense, then, are they "side"? And what on earth is being "managed"? Isn't that what we mean by "programming"?

        Digital audio myth debunked here with evidence in physics mathematics and chemistry. The chemical makeup of the vinyl record has influence on the physics and the mathematics of what your stylus and cardridge (moving magnet / moving coil) will pickup.

          Analog and digital have gotten married since the 1980's when we analyze the Vinyl Signal path.

          My current signal path
          * Vinyl Direct Drive Turntable to mix.
          * Audio Interface3 to mix.
          * Always on HW Music player to mix.
          * Instrument Mixer
          * Yamaha Mixing Console
          * AUX0 send FX Rack
          * AUX1 send FX Rack
          * AUX0 Return Master Bus
          * AUX1 Return Master Bus
          * Mixing Console to Headphone AMP0
          * Mixing Console to Headphone AMP1
          * Mixing Console to Digitizer send
          * DAW receive

          You can clearly see a mix of digital and analog equipment in my Studio hardware setup, which IS mostly analog on purpose

                      My acoustic guitar, a gift from my wonderful mother, without many parts. The Bridge was glued on the varnish, which is the reason why it jumped at me, sweeped close to my face, before dropping on the strings.

                        is there an underlying US ethics in this exhibition to undermine what open source means? They say one thing they do another?

                        From trickle down economics we are moving to the trickle-down ethics and contact phase.
