Even photo viewer programs include the option to change the orientation, and save the changes. In Windows, or at least in Windows 7, you can even do this directly in Windows Explorer. mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 902 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 3:19 am:    The photo is correctly oriented on my computer... it gets flipped upon upload. I've even tried flipping it on my computer, but when I do that it maintains that orientation!!! Basically, everything is oriented as a "landscape". This seems to be a Mac issue... it never happened when I was using a PC. I didn't know it there was a way to re-orient after the photo is already uploaded. adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 2815 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 9:49 am:    Guess you need a proper photo editor on the Mac. Anyway, after you upload a picture, that's the way it's going to be shown here, unfortunately. I guess it's this one - that picture is a joy to behold, in whichever orientation! artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1522 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 10:13 am:    Mike, I downloaded your image and changed the orientation with Photoshop. No way to do it on the system. wideload Intermediate Member Username: wideload Post Number: 173 Registered: 6-2003 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 11:20 am:    Anyway you look at it, she's a beauty!! (P.S. my birthday is fast approaching...) sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1899 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 1:41 pm:    Yes, She's a keeper. Beautiful! Congratulations! mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 903 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 3:32 pm:    I probably paid a bit of a premium for it ($4K), but Balance Ks just don't come-up that often. The top really is something else. This was the first BalK done with a Heart Omega. crobbins Senior Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 880 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 4:21 pm:    Nice looking bass. Congrats... davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10230 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 4:50 pm:    Wow! Beautiful! cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 993 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Friday, June 17, 2011 - 7:27 pm:    I kinda liked the pic the other way - looked like it was hanging on me & I was looking down at it..... Love that top! Is the wood by chance Rippled Satin? I think we need a straight-on close up, no?

And so elegant. I'd like to see a straight-on shot, too. mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 905 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2011 - 2:46 pm:    The wood does look like that sample, but my bass predated (2004) the posting in the wood bank (2006). At first I wasn't too crazy about Walnut, but I now have 2 of them (this and my Brown Bass). The figuring can range from subtle to REALLY outrageous. cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 996 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Saturday, June 18, 2011 - 4:50 pm:    (In a subdued, awed voice he says) wow.

Of course, I love both! Just out of curiosity, do the knob settings in your picture coincide with the settings you use when you play? At the risk of revealing my own insanity, I think it would be interesting if some of us were mindful of such things when we photograph our instruments. I'm always curious about control settings (and I know that's just one of a multitude of variables in a signal chain, but still...). Anyway, I love this bass! mike1762 Senior Member Username: mike1762 Post Number: 908 Registered: 1-2008 Posted on Sunday, June 19, 2011 - 3:19 am:    My approach is to find a generic "Fender" tone on the neck PUP. That usually means rolling the filter back to 1/2 - 1/3 and (depending on whether I want some extra "zing") disengaging the Q switch. I always run the filter on the bridge PUP wide open and engage the Q. After I have that set, I'm just adjusting the pan control: if I need a lot of bottom I favor the neck, if I want clarity and punch I favor the bridge. Before I got my Alembics, I NEVER messed with the on-board electronics. But as you all know, you can really get a nice wide palette of USABLE tones from an Alembic. I have some patches set-up in my Boss ME-50B for a slap tone and a hollow body tone; but other than that, I do it from the bass.
