my brief stint as a professional musician was in the early 90s... no day gig other than cover band + original band + teaching + studio. It was fun for a moment but it did damage to my patience level for musician drama and lead to me packing it in altogether for a couple years starting around...
I had just replaced the cooling fans and thermal paste in my old laptop and my wife's current one... I pulled the drive out of my old one (core2duo with 4gb of ram) and put my mother-in-law's hard drive in it... after 2 reboots windows was okay with itself. Her last laptop was my previous hand...
How was everyone's weekend? I spent about 4 hours over the last 48 goofing around on my upright (my kid loves to hang out and listen to me play). I've hit a couple light bulb moments recently on it... I think by summer I might even be ready to bring it out to play with others.
I lost the file...
Ha! it just might... my Double Bass strings are hand wound in your city, maybe you could hang around there and see if any of the employees vape :D

Great pop band... I have most everything he's recorded since I had to learn"School Days" for high school jazz band and ran to the mall and picked up his latest release at the time on vinyl (Time Exposure - 1984)
I'm 49 in March, the wife will be 42 in May... been together 21 years as of this past October. Never any kids... thought we couldn't since we'd stopped trying to 'not' get pregnant years ago. Well early 2014 we got the shock of a lifetime and in Jan 2015 we had our daughter (she'll be 2 on...
good eye, I recently switched from a thicker set of mediums to a thinner set of light gauge strings. They sit fine and aren't bound up in any way... so it should work out. I've often thought that the adjusters must take away from the tone. Maybe I'll pick up a non-adjusting bridge.
I get the mechanics of the bridge work... and the shaping to match the body has already been done. What I need to do is take a few mm off between the top piece legs and the thumb screws so it has more adjustment room. My issue is removing the bridge will allow the sound post to fall away. I...
I'm thinking I need to take my upright for work... I'm real handy with the electric, but the big bass scares me. The adjustable bridge is bottomed out and it is to the high side of arco height. I'd like to drop them down a couple mm for more comfortable pizzicato.
I have a PCI based soundcard for recording, but I chose to not install it on my new Windows 10 recording PC due to a lot of chatter about instability above Win XP. I have 2 USB interfaces I'm looking at in the $500 range that will have to wait until summer at least (unless I get enough hints...
