    Salut! Bienvenue à BC!

    Hi, they have been on a fretted P with a 'standard' fender bridge. There's not much wear on the strings as it's my 'corner' bass, and sits redundant more often than not. Cheers, Paul

    Plus, as a professional, it’s tax-deductible…

    Ikr, she’s still moving her mouth after she’s finished singing!

    How far away are you standing from your amp? low frequency sound has some looooonnnggggg wavelengths, could be that standing further (20ft or so) away from your amp might help you to experience more ‘bass’.

    swap instruments?

    …and a shed load of patience, dedication and a big stick with all nails in it.

    I disagree. It's dreadful, but at least he's gone the 'whole 9 yards' and accessorised it with a mullet too. Marks for effort.

    Thank gawd he 'forgot' occasionally...

    What amp and/cab are you using? ampeg cabs have a natural bump at about 200Hz which always helped my jazzes deliver massive amounts of low end whenever I’ve played. Currently I’ve got a custom bass cab with a sub woofer in it and it’s equally deep.

    Latter day RHCP stuff?

    Changes in the tone stack - it lets more bass through, might be slightly less gain than the NYC one. here’s a link to a site that lists all of the different types, and their main differences. i find this sort of stuff interesting, for some it’s worryingly obsessive- you pays your money etc… http://www.kitrae.net/music/big_muff_history.html

    I’m annoyed with power bricks that don’t supply 9v, 12v and 18v simultaneously. 😄

    mmm, I’ve found that I prefer to use dirt boxes with passive basses; stingrays just don’t do dirty to my ears. obviously YMMV, and Timmy C (amongst many others) seem to be ok with the sound.

    SOLD I made this ages ago and used it as a preamp into a power amp for a portable rig, but now have a mini-head so it’s not being used. Loads of clean gain and headroom thanks to an internal voltage doubling circuit and 3 band eq with switchable mids. Great for use as a clean pre or a second amp channel. now £30 posted to UK mainland SOLD

    If you’ve only got one guitarist then I’d be wary of any sort of Muff - the mid scoop is an integral part of their sound, meaning there’s a big hole in the bass tone to help you disappear in the mix. the EQD Cloven Hoof or Coloursound Bass Fuzz will do it.

    Outstanding choice!!!

    Common advice for this is to get a multi player ffects unit and find one that you like. Then go out and buy the real thing, fall in love with it for about 2 weeks and then rinse and repeat. 😄

    I think it’s something to do with the human ear having developed to be more sensitive around the ‘speech’ frequency -round about 1kHz - too much information around this point in the audio spectrum can be tiring on the brain, so scooping it out makes for easy listening. I could be wrong though.

    And Club Tropicana too.

    I don’t really rate them for modulation effects, there are MUCH better phasers and choruses out there for similar money, but for guitar overdrives and distortions they’re exceptional for the money, and virtually indestructible.

    Less of a train-wreck, more like natural selection to me.

    One band I dep for has a ‘Hawaiian shirt’ schtick going on, so there’s that, but otherwise just jeans and t-shirt. I can’t abide things round my wrist when I’m playing.
