Me too

Have you updated ti recently? I struggled to get a good chorus effect until I downloaded the extra patches and found what I was looking for.

Fair point, but it’s the best half!

‘My Favourite Things’ - John Coltrane. 😍

I like a bit of bite from my Jazz so I went for the Ernie Ball Cobalts - perfect mix of thump and bite when I dig in.

I really like these: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/chairs-stools-benches/junior-chairs/urban-junior-chair-green-art-50207036/ Sold as a childrens’ chair, but great raising the sitting height of adults too. I’m 5’9” by the way.

It’s great isn’t it? I love flats on a Jazz.

Stretches. 😉

Yes, but no-one has mentioned the Elephant in the room - guitarist is looking at his hands...

My main 'squeeze' is a fretless Jazz/Musicman hybrid. I have fretted basses for playing live with bands etc.. but at home I'll plump for the fretless every time; there's just something about the timbre of the notes that I love. I don't approach it as a 'fretless' instrument, just another bass. My technique doesn't (consciously) alter though. Occasionally I'll drop in some of the techniques that are associated with fretless bass (sliding/vibrato etc...) but I honestly can't remember the last time I did it during a performance.

“Charlie don’t surf!”

Also in “40 year old virgin” - “who has a framed Asia poster?”

I'm running an Ampeg SVP PRO preamp and an Amp B410HLF cabinet - both of which I love the sound of, but my current power amp (Laney SP300) is only delivering 150W (per side) into my cabinet, and as my cab is 4Ω I can't use the 'Bridge' mode - which would deliver all 300W to a single channel but expects an 8Ω load. What do other BCers use in their separate pre/power setups? Go!

That's "Breaking the Law", surely...

Pitch shift a la Tool?

Wah? Trem /modulation speed?

One word of caution, always make sure that you’re supplying MORE current than you need to a pedal/board; if you try to draw more current than a psu can deliver then the psu will go pop. Never give a pedal more voltage than it’s rated for, as this will cause the pedal to go pop.

I bought a Hohner Baron bass (short scale thing) for £70 at a local music shop (I think it was Reidy's in Blackburn) and picked up a Marshall combo from somewhere else (don't remember where) at roughly the same time. They sounded crap. I saved up for a Trace Elliot AH 130 as soon as I could!

EB Cobalts. Love ‘em!!

Vintage Caline Orange Burst overdrive pedal. BNIB. Really clean example of this sought after effect. £350 plus p&p
