Did you set it up on the FI or on the C4?

@Quatschmacher Play list is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLse4iJAB00SvQkR1t_U1NxlHOdI4MIdCl I've added a few more and deleted a load from the list above. A couple of them could probably benefit from a remix - for example, no one has managed to do a great remix of Sweet Dreams and there are literally hundreds out there...but it's a classic.

Really good, the only thing I'd suggest is that the filter or resonance is a tad too high. The original sounds a little more rubbery. Perfect! Wouldn't mind playing it myself and seeing how it feels in terms of tracking. Some of the fills are fast.
-
You're welcome. Yeah it's a big ask to do all the tracks. I was inclined to make a second pass and filter out those that didn't have enough energy. Some of them are floor fillers, others are in cruise control.

Have fun :)

I'm thinking about throwing a list together of covers with synth bass lines. Stuff that a gigging bassist might play.
-
that sounds fantastic!

Like me, you have some very transferrable skills there. I found employers are looking for specialists more than ever these days though. Good luck with your hunt. At these times its often about trust, pre-existing relationships and contacts looking after each other than actual skills. People would rather employ someone they trust with less than ideal skills than someone they don't trust who is a perfect technical fit.
-
I would but I really don't have time right now with baby sitting while school is out, an apartment to redesign and work demands. All I was hearing was a little more midrange definition, it might not be a filter thing, it might be an eq thing and of course I couldn't be sure until I'd messed around with it. It's not a big thing in any case.
-
Close but needs a bit more midrange attack in the filter. I enjoyed listening to it!

I'll bet you probably have the strongest stomach of anyone on Basschat. When I did my shift with my local police station, the duty sergeant sat me down for a chat and during the chat he asked me if I had a good sense of humour. I replied yes and he went on to explain that as police they were so used to dealing with the bottom rung of society that it made them cynical and wore them down after a while. Developing a black sense of humour kept them sane.

Two thoughts: 1) Have you got a compressor in your backline? For someone with a pick, I'd expect a bit of compression to avoid icepick in ear type experiences. 2) Are you using your cab without PA support? Then yeah, the F112 would be too honest out front I guess unless you swapped the amp for something a little vintagey-ier, maybe with tubes. Or you could go for a 2x12 I guess and lose the tweeter completely if you have PA support. Or maybe get a tube compressor, but it will probably need to sit with the amp as most pedalboard power supplies won't be powerful enough to work with it.
-
Have you considered a GK RB700 1x15 combo? They have a tiltback feature like the F112 if that's helpful.

I was present when we tested my F112 against a BB2, Schroeder etc at the 2015 SEBassbash. What I heard against all the other cabinets reinforced and validated why it was such a great purchase. It was the smoothest and cleanest sounding cab...and this was from a good 12-15 rows back from the stage. Point is, cab comparisons often rely on what someone is used to hearing both in terms of bass and amp. My context is a backline which is articulate and clean...faithful if you will. So I can plug in a range of basses and not find myself having to boost frequencies between instruments to hear myself. I've played through some backlines at Bassbashes and struggled to hear myself with all the woolly, unfocussed low end and lo-fi high end. If I had that at a gig, I'd be struggling. What I learned from that was different players are aiming for different things. Some want to immerse themselves in lo fi flub, others want pick attack to compete with guitars and yet others want the instrument and nothing but the instrument to shine through. I think it's very important to tailor amp to bass. Some amps suck the midrange out like SWR SM400 and the Eden WT800. So playing mid scooped basses ends up in a situation where it's next to impossible to hear anything but tick and woof in the on stage mix...AND SOME GOSPEL PLAYERS like that. I would like to see how well they manage fretless though. However SWR amps sound great with mid rangey basses like Status or Modulus. For a while I was playing Smiths and played them through one of the most aggressive, growliest rock amps out there, a GK RB700. The Smith was all about scooped mids, full (sometimes flabby) lows and mellow highs, the GK was all about pick attack and midrange. It sounded fantastic because they complimented each others shortcomings so well.

On the end of those pencils? Eww.

If you insist on using credibility around here, you'll spoil the fun for everyone.

Dad band. Probably most of us know this situation or one similar.
-
It's not fair to blame the cab for problems with room acoustics though. EVery cab will have problems of one sort or another because there's no way to design for every venue. And even within a venue, moving the cab around the stage, away and closer to the back wall, lifting it off the ground, standing it on the end or long side, using a gramma pad, equalisation etc. lots of ways to deal with acoustic problems at venues.

8...dammit. Four in China, 2 in Derbyshire waiting for me to work on them and 2 in storage. But I have four guitars as well...does that count? Probably not.
-
Yeah it had super low action and it carried a nice snarl in the mids. I sold it on BW to a user called funkymunky and he had it for a long time. Sometimes I find myself searching for another on Reverb just to see what's out there.

You should become a primary/nursery school teacher. One of my teachers also trains dogs in her spare time and she's astonishingly effective in maintaining discipline in a class of 8 unruly preschoolers.

Talkbass - 2006, way before people knew how many of these were made. It was really as simple as that. I was in the market for an old Series bass because I like the body shape, and this one was a bit 'extra'. It's possible I might have played a part in attracting attention to them as a bunch of us on the Alembic club revealed ownership at the same time and eventually Mica filled dfung in on what was up with them.
-
Price below what I can afford is less relevant than feel and sound. My fave sounding bass is a basschat ho and cost 600 quid in 2009. But in my experience its the exception rather than the rule.

No you're not.
