Yeah, my girlfriend got a new cellphone recently, and I asked her the brand, but went and forgot it...
But... if/when I'm playing my custom Europa, I'll consistently get a sound right before her cell phone gets a call.
The first time it happened, there was a slight anomolous sound for a second, somewhat static-y, similar to the sound that comes on TV before a routine emergency broadcast. When it happened, I was like what the...? , and then her cell phone rang. After the second or third time, it became clear that my bass was detecting the call before it rang her phone, and there have been several times since then that it's happened while playing, and I've said your cell phone is about to ring -and it's rung seconds later!!!
Yeah, it seems a little freaky!!! But it does it every time. Now, I've got a pretty elaborate custome electronics package, so maybe this is unique to my bass... or maybe not! I'd like to know.
So... does anyone else have experience with their bass (Alembic or otherwise) predicting or detecting cell phone calls?
It's obvious that -somehow- the electronics are able to detect the energy being sent to the phone. I find it actually a little disturbing, as that same energy must be permeating our bodies.
