An excellent battery-powered outdoor setup you've got there.  And a fine way to spend many hours.  :)

Hey, how about that?  But tune to what?  I plug it into a tuner so I'm not really using it to drive headphones.  And since it's only or short moments my batteries last quite a while.  :)

There was a time I recall using something called a tuning fork.

Excellent Woodshed.  8)

I still use an old A tuning fork in my upright bass shop, Keith.  ;)

(I get the strangest looks from folks who have never seen one used before...)

There was a time I recall using something called a tuning fork.

i carried around an A440 tuning fork most of my early years in my fender bass case.  got pretty good at hitting it on my knee with my right hand, plucking the A string and holding it over a pickup while i wrestled with the A string tuner with my left before it faded out and i had to hit it again. and again.

the first real band i was in used a conn st-11 strobotuner.  btw you can also hook one of those up to a microphone which makes it very useful for hypnotizing stoned band-mates while singing old sea chanteys into it.

ahhh....the old days.

Finally. I've been trying to remember where this thread was all day. I couldn't even figure out what keywords to search for in my own username. Tried 20 combinations of stereo/mono/jack/switch/etc. They say a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes... here it was.


I think I'd like to leave the 1/4" jack on #80-1684 stereo, or switchably so. Like a little mini-switch below the jack.  8)

I'm trying to find his username, I think it is OJDORSON, he makes a converter cord that goes from
the 1/4" Series 1 stereo jack and converts it to my Shure wireless system input.

Unfortunately I'm at work now, but I'll come back later with photos and OJ's username here.
