    Turns out its mac only but if you need a pc one “amazing slow downer” seems to work great.

    [quote]Thanks for the link,
    I have tried to order a set but didn’t have a response.Anyway they seems to be “out of stock” in their w-site.
    When did you order them ? can you call the guy who is making them ?[/quote]

    The guy who was doing it ended up being too busy to keep up with it so someone else is in the process of taking over right now, I think he said he is making a new website right now for it.

    I think his name was henry on the rockabilly bass forum, he posted a few times on that thread. Not sure if he is selling them right now or if he is holding off until he gets everything under control again. Best bet would probably be to send him a message or post on that forum as he was responding to us pretty quick.

    What gauge are the strings that you make?

    cool never tried that one yet but will, If you can figure out the notes of the song what I usually do is use guitarpro, then once you put the music into it with the timing you can use the speed trainer.

    If you havent used guitarpro its basically a program you can write out a song in with the proper timing and everything and it will play it back in midi for you. Then you can set the speed trainer part of it to play back at a slower speed and increase the speed a certain amount everytime it loops through.

    [quote]What brand and gauge are this wackers ?[/quote]

    They are from Superior Bassworks

    I have no idea what the actual guage is on these things but they are pretty damn thick, they come in a 5 string set though so could bump them over and use the lower guage ones but im trying out the thickest as the E first and it seems to sound pretty good as it is.

    They sound like the newest thing as far as wackers goes, theres a pretty big thread about them on the rockabilly bass forum you can read more info from here.

    [url=http://rockabillybass.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=9929&start=0]Superior Wackers thread at RAB[/url]

    The guy who is taking over making them is on there as well so he could prob give me info about them if your looking.

    Yeah I am going to give it a shot anyways, found a ton of info on talkbass and sounds like they get very low power out of them compared to a normal bass speaker but whatever I need a project to work on anyways so going to build a cab for them and try it out.

    I dont know if its just my imagination or not but I notice something similar with temperature changes, when the air conditioner is cranked in the house my tension seems way higher, i might just be imagining it but maybe it does make a difference I dont know.

    Im sure someone else has more ideas though.
