I read about digital signals v analog signals

I did some more reading in audio engineering. Jenny is still selling her poetry book to almost everyone she meets. We discussed an old gig and are more keen to get our old guitarist back now.

I bought gig bags

I bought a nice canvas and plastic gig bag for my bass and one for my wife's dreadnought guitar.

Peavey graphic EQ box is home now.

I paid for the rest of the Peavey Graphic EQ. This is their early model from the early 1980's and I was able to download the manual on their web site. The manual was just a scan of the original.

At Songbird I also checked out gig bags for my Music Master bass. They had another Music Master for sale for 630$ and it is again a beat up old vintage instrument; this one with a red paint job. The neck and frets are much better than mine. I almost bought it. I am also looking at bass amps there. They have two Hartke 3500's to choose from and a Trace Eliot. The Hartke's are well power matched for my cabinets but the Trace Eliot is a little under powered. I just looked at new fender bass heads on the fender.com web site.

Learning more mysteries of sound and music physics.

I completed reading the second chapter in this book Brice, Richard. Music Engineering: the Electronics of Playing and Recording (Oxford: Newnes, 1998). I learned about diffraction and reflection and the concept of reverberation in a room. I also learned about hearing that is the basics of the physiology of hearing and the ear. The next chapter is titled Stand By Me - microphones and their applications.
