I think the idea was spurred by another experiment where I replaced the skin on a $10 dollar yard sale banjo with a large convex plastic lens. I'll have to take a picture of that one (and make sure it stays out of the sun).

As I was piecing together an old harmony neck on that hacked up kramer body I saw the door knocker sitting in a box and things progressed from there.
I need to add a tone control because all the zingy sitar sounds coupled with an amp can really aggravate the tinnitus.

Has anyone noticed the name of the bass manufacturer sounds like Low in Hertz ?

Have a good weekend Terry

elwoodblue..thanks and I have had a good weekend.
Been out drinking with a load of bass playing mates..the conversation through out the night was interesting..anyone in the vicinity of us would be wondering what the hell we were talking about.
I have mentioned in another thread tonight about jimmyj, John a bass player friend of mine who is great James Taylor fan could not beleive that I was on internet talking terms with Jimmy Johnson.
I am going to have to get him to my house to see the Alembic club to prove my claim!

I don't think so. Sure not my Alembic. To much crap on the bass.
