Yeah, it is super slow at the moment. I've noticed a lot of the same equipment is still available and hasn't shifted and some items are really well priced. No idea why its slow to be honest.

These AI image generators, is it possible to punch in a few words or even sentences and then get it to generate an image based on those words or sentences? I'm thinking about an album cover based on either a lyric or meaning behind the song and rather than asking for an artist to interpret it as a piece of art, see what the AI come up with. Is that possible to do?

MarkBass has been a bit hit and miss for me over the years. I had a LM3 and 2x NY112 cabs and I really didn't gel with it. I was playing 50's Rock n Roll and I found it to be a bit lifeless, sterile and uninspiring. I quickly moved it all on and got an Ampeg Pf500 and Barefaced Two10 which was way more dynamic. I now have a LM IV which I really like and sounds very good through the Barefaced Two10. This is for fretless and a lot more melodic type of playing. I've not tried any of the new cabs or even the old Traveller cabs but I've not heard anything bad about them.

@ronibassman As promised here are the pictures of the neck and markers.
-
They are in the position where fretting on the marker would be in tune. An unlined bass you either fret on the marker or on the gap to play in tune. A lined fretless bass, you would fret on the lines to be in tune. Sure, when I get home in a bit, I will upload a picture 👍

Hiya, Yes, it has position dots along the edge of the neck.

**** NOW SOLD **** For sale is my beautiful 2013 Ernie Ball Musicman Stingray SR4 3EQ Fretless with Pau Ferro fretboard. These basses need no introduction and are getting harder to find. Apart from one tiny knock as seen in the picture, the bass is in mint condition with no marks or grooves on the fretboard or buckle rash on the back. Just recently set up by The Bass Gallery, it is strung with a set of Rotosound Swing 66 Nickel rounds which is my favourite strings for all of my fretless basses. Plays and sounds amazing as expected and comes complete with the original hard case. I am based in Camberley in Surrey and any trial welcome. As for trades, I would be happy with one of the following, Fender American Vintage II 1954 Precision - Sunburst or Blonde Fender American Vintage II 1966 Jazz - Sunburst or White Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision - Sunburst Fender Tony Franklin Fretless Precision Thank you for looking.

EBS actually recommends using a Laptop bag on their website. The Reidmar 752 got your back The amp fits nicely in a laptop bag, and the lightweight saves your back when traveling with your Reidmar 752. Out of interest, how you you find the Reidmar 752? It's a head that I'm considering getting to replace my MarkBass LM IV. Love my LM IV but also love EBS stuff.

Thank you, I'll give this go and see how it sounds. The Mooer Reverb has now gone as the Slo Reverb is a much better unit but at the moment, the Slo is being used purely as a reverb unit. It's new so I'm still working it out so it might be used for some ambient swells a little later on but I think mostly for reverb. The Zoom is used to create those ambient swells using reverb and auto volume delay so a lot more of an effect.

Reverb with a fretless is incredible, for me an absolute must. I actually had two on my board at one point. If you want to try and good fun, but cheap one, then I can really recommend the Mooer A7 Ambient one.

This is my current setup for my fretless. 1. Boss OC-5 Octave: Tried quite a few Octave pedals and nothing has beaten it for tracking and tone. A wonderful pedal. 2. Zoom MS-60B: Has been hacked and is used for ambient effects using some delays and reverbs to mimic a cello and orchestral sounds. 3. EBS UniChorus: Been through a lot of chorus pedals but after seeing @Dood review, it seemed to be just what I was after and it is. Amazing Chorus pedal. 4. Walrus Audio Slo: my main reverb and used for some ambient effects as well. 5. Ampeg Opto Compressor: Sounds great and just sprinkles lots of magic goodness on my tone. 6. Sansamp BDDI v2: Absolutely brilliant, I wished I'd got one sooner. I wish I could mount my power supply under my Pedaltrain Metro 16 but it's too tall. If I could then I'd also have my TC Electronic Spark Booster and maybe a Phaser pedal or EBS Envelope Filter as well.

I'm just after a little bit of advise or the order I should have my pedal's on my pedalboard. At the moment, I current have the following, Bass OC5 Octave (Used on and off to add thickness and for effect) Zoom MS-60B (Used on and off to add some ambient sounds) EBS UniChorus (Used on and off to add some chorus and used in conjunction with the Zoom MS-60B) Walrus Audio Slo Reverb (Used on and off to add some ambient sounds and used in conjunction with the EBS UniChorus) Mooer A7 Ambient Reverb (On most of the time to add some reverb) Ampeg Opti Compressor (On all of the time) Sansamp BDDI (On all of the time) Amp I'm just wondering if the Mooer A7 Reverb which is on pretty much on all the time should be first in the chain before the pedals that are turned on or off or it should be where it is after those pedals?

To the OP, I think you are thinking about it too much and over processing it which is in some ways putting too much pressure on yourself to come up with something new. Your head is not clear as you are thinking you need to write something new. If there's nothing there then there's nothing there. I suggest, walk away from it for a bit, lose yourself in other activities be it travelling, reading, house stuff or focus on something else and just keep absorbing the music you hear in your day to day existence. At some point, inspiration will hit and you'll start coming up with song ideas and you'll be back on track. You just need to wait for that trigger moment. Its not uncommon for this to happen to a lot of musicians, songwriters and those who are creative.

Very surprised theres been no mention of any EBS amps.
-
Not sure if these are the best but it's the ones I've been the happiest with and have lasted. Hartke HA7000 - super powerful, punchy with the option to run tube, solid state or blend both. Can be super clean or dirty. If they didn't weight a tonne or were so big, I'd still use one now. I wish there was a modern day version. Ampeg PF500 - Just a great sounding amp and very musical. Doesn't seem to be thin or clinical or run out of puff like a lot of class D amps. Long on the tooth now and heavy for a class D amp. Warwick Gnome Ipro 280w - just an absolutely brilliant little amp. Way louder than you would think, tiny, super punchy and cheap as chips. I've used mine many times as my main amp.
-
That sounds great, please keep me posted on how you get on with it.
-
This is exactly what I've been doing. I have an MS-60B and updated the firmware to include the sounds from the 50 and 70 to create to nice ambient patches. Now I kind of know what I'm after, I'm going use the Zoom for a few patches, my Mooer Ambient A7 for a few other things but mainly the basic reverb and then get something like the Cloudburst or Slo as another dedicated ambient effects pedal.
-
More ambient sort of sounds, pads, long sustain notes, that sort of thing. Nothing weird of whacky but ambient, soundscape sort of effects where you might hit a single note or the last note of the song and it does a nice ambient swell etc.
