Never knew that

Interesting

Alright. Well the w1ld shy is a totally different width from the other two

Shy is more like the yoyofactory Miracle and Offset outlier+. I really like it. Not too wide, not too narrow, powerful, easy to catch, fast. And it's available in cool colors.

The g force is a nice one if you want an extremely wide yoyo. It's heavy but doesn't feel heavy. Most of the extremely wide yoyo's also have a very large diameter. This one doesn't and still has good stability which is cool. I'd say it's nice for the big tricks, behind the back and other risky shananagins. But for allround play I prefer a 50mm yoyo.

I haven't tried the Olympus but it seems like an extremer yoyo than the g force. Wider, heavier.

I never drank in my entire life and I don't ,

Wait a minute, I have just as many guitars and amps.

ArjanGameboyman

To me they're two completely different beasts

The Dingwall is basically a short/medium scale without a sloppy E string. Overpriced but really good at what it does which is give you old school tones and more normal P bass tones.

The Sandberg is lightweight and a humbucker (Stingray style) bass that can do a little more because of the neck pickup but its not gonna get a vintage tone.

I've only played a handful of Sandberg and dingwalls and I'm more impressed with Dingwall personally

As your second yoyo? That usually means you still often hit the floor with it. Stainless steel rims yoyo's can't handle a beating that well.

Besides the performance difference between a mono metal and bimetal is often not even noticed by beginners/intermediate players because they don't do those crazy horizontal tricks or super long combo's yet anyways.

I only play Edison format nowadays. Because I believe it's impossible and like to have more than 1 turn.

I haven't found a winning deck without a single 7usd or more card.

You?

ArjanGameboyman

If you find a winning decklist with only cheap cards I'll believe you. Until then I dont

ArjanGameboyman

Robalxx is right. Not the same game. Back then it might be possible to win with a cheap deck but I don't think that's the case for the last couple of years.

Of course we can just look at winning decks of the last few years and see for ourselves

Do you'll think the piano is really played live? Most often artists don't do that because it's complicated to get it to sound good and simply fake it and have the piano on a backing track.

And I don't see any microphones surrounding the sound box of the piano nor do I see any wires in case it's an electric piano.

Maybe I can compare some live recordings and see if they're identical

ArjanGameboyman

If you are still new to yoyo you'll have your yoyo hit the floor a lot. Yoyo's with stainless steel rims don't handle that well. You'll destroy that G Force in no time.

Same goes for the Ice Berg you got recommended.

If you like the look of the shooting star, go for that one for now. Or the c3yoyodesign Speedaholic xx which probably looks even better

It's not about buying cheap, it's about not losing money

If you buy used you can resell it for the same. So that's the way to go.

ArjanGameboyman

Alright. That's a compromise that might work. Why do the other strings need to be that thin?

ArjanGameboyman

110 for E isn't crazy at all

ArjanGameboyman

There is no mention of a B at all

ArjanGameboyman

You can't tune an E string to C and not have intonation issues with either one of those tunings. So even if you did find the right string that van handle it, still you need to move the saddle for intonation each time you switch tuning

ArjanGameboyman

That's exactly my experience too but some people here say they gig fine with a rumble 25.

ArjanGameboyman

This is why multiscale doesn't mean anything. It's only 35 inch. Which doesn't give a better B string than standard 35 inch scale basses.

ArjanGameboyman

I first determine which kind of sound I want (scale length, pickup type, pickup position). Then set a budget. Then consider the options.

So in your case I'd end up with either the p bass compared to every other p bass like Harley Benton, Sire, Yamaha etc. Or every jazz bass in that price range.

So to me it's kinda weird that there are only 2 basses on your list and the 2 basses have different pickup configurations

There are thousands of videos on YouTube of precision vs jazz bass. For indie rock I like a bright p bass sound (like many punk bands have).

ArjanGameboyman

And do you win big tournaments?

ArjanGameboyman

How about this? Joyo R-28

ArjanGameboyman

That's not grammer.

ArjanGameboyman

Are cabinets suddenly also "versatile"?

Like, how?

ArjanGameboyman

It's not true that distortion and overdrive sounds better on humbuckers. Often those pedals do function a bit better with passive basses.

The best distortion pedals are often pre amp pedals (like Sansamp and Darkglass). Running a bass with a pre amp before that in the chain sometimes doesn't work that well

Choose your bass like you always should: which songs do you like the bass sound from. What kind of bass do they use (scale length+ type of pickups+ pickup location) . Then set a budget and see what basses are similar and try those

ArjanGameboyman

I own both. To me they're fancy distortion pedals. I use something else entirely as my di.

Do you want distortion pedals?

My pre amp di of choice is the Trickfish Minnow.

ArjanGameboyman

Nice to read it, as always. Can't wait to try the yoyo
