Members chris-dax Posted January 4, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Dang! That was my second guess. You made a great guess anyway, groutt. Good job.... go ahead....take as much as you want.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members groutt Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 You made a great guess anyway, groutt. Good job.... go ahead....take as much as you want.... Yes! 2008 is turning out to be a great year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members georgestrings Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Beer and a lot of amphetamines. Always a valid answer - doesn't matter what the question is... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bnyswonger Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Once you start thrashing it, it'll come up to temperature right quick. So it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members georgestrings Posted January 4, 2008 Members Share Posted January 4, 2008 Once you start thrashing it, it'll come up to temperature right quick. So it doesn't matter. Yeah, just start out a quarter tone sharp, and eventually you'll be good to go... It'd be funny if the guitard had the same thing going on, but it was giving the singer fits.... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators isaac42 Posted January 5, 2008 Moderators Share Posted January 5, 2008 assume the room is room temperature.... you know - 70F You must not be in the same rooms I'm in. Anywhere from 65F to around 78F are not unusual. Humidity might make a difference as well, affecting the heat transfer coefficient of the air...

Members Pyralus Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 Warning: science content. The variables for this involve the original temperature, final temperature, mass of the bass and the materials of construction. Every material (even different types of wood) heat up at a different rate. The reason why it's dangerous to swing temperatures is because your strings will expand and contract far faster than the wood will, so the tension will increase or decrease far faster. I'd have to find the formulas, but if I looked them up I could probably even tell you how flat your bass will be when you pick it up after the strings warm up, but not the wood.... *cough* I'd guesstimate 20 mins.

Members bleepo Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 ...if it's a Status it will still be in tune from your last gig I think my Warwick is still in tune from it's last restringing!

Members misterhinkydink Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 SS amps I don't worry about so much, but cold doesn't do tube amps or speakers much good.... I know what you mean about temps - here in Syracuse, it was 1F yesterday, but is supposed to reach 60F by tuesday or wednesday.... sheer craiziness, I tell ya... - georgestrings Tubes heat slowly enough that it's likely no damage will occur. Remember, car radios used tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pyralus Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 SS amps tend to work better when it's cold, actually. The cold lowers electrical impedance cause particles are smushed (yes that's a science term) together so the current jumps easier. Same would hold true for everything on a tube amp except the tubes themselves, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrcrow Posted January 5, 2008 Members Share Posted January 5, 2008 4 minutes...but you need to play it based on the thermodynamic equation... mass/rise in temp/specific heat= mass2 rise in temp2 and specific heat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
