[size=4]This question gets asked often and the general consensus is it does sound different, but only very slightly. T[/size][size=4]he J pup and additional pot are still presenting a load to the P pup which alters its response a little.[/size] [size=4]You could always fit a push/pull pot to remove the J pup and pot from the circuit entirely though!

Am I the only one that thinks it sounds crap then? Not much low end even with the low knob cranked!

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1415971582' post='2605711'] We have music available from bandcamp and while it's a useful resource, IMO it's all a bit too "indie Ghetto" for a lot of people. Ordinary fans prefer something a bit more familiar like iTunes or Amazon. And any band that hopes for a decent sized audience is going to have to go with the m ore mainstream sources for downloads. This shown by the fact that it is possible to download our latest EP for free from Bandcamp, but to get it from iTunes or Amazon you have pay. We have more downloads from the iTunes and Amazon than we do from Bandcamp. [/quote] [size=4]'Indie ghetto'? I think that term could also apply to most people's bands![/size] [size=4]True, it's usually only proper music fans that support and buy music from smaller unsigned bands that have come across it. Nearly all the bands I see live, or recommendations I get from forums / social media / friends all sell (or give away) their stuff on there.[/size] [size=4] [size=4]For those that don't actively seek out new music only get to hear about new bands passively from radio or TV, who have likely already been signed to big labels, they will probably not have heard of it. [/size][size=4]But any band should release on as many platforms as possible to maximise their potential sales.[/size][/size] [size=4]I feel Bandcamp provides a much better experience than the big name online stores. It feels like a more personalised experience, more like you're buying directly from the band and hence more of the profits going to them - true or not, it's a big reason why given the choice, I will buy from here. Another reason is that I can download music without having to install any software - one of the reasons I avoid iTunes. I had bought an MP3 album from Amazon recently and was [/size]appalled[size=4] that I had to install some crappy downloader tool just to get my hands on the goods! I prefer my stuff in lossless format and this is the only place that offers it - far quicker, cheaper, easier and less wasteful than ordering a CD just to rip it![/size]

Chrome updated today, videos now launch the YouTube app when clicked. On the other hand, I can no longer reply to any threads on Talkbass (Basschat is fine)!

It's been several years since I dabbled, but the PSP Vintage Warmer was one of my favorite plugins, I'd check out what they've put out since then! And for synths, I liked NI Absynth and the Rob Papen stuff.

You can ask him about the forthcoming internal active bass preamp! I asked over on TB if we would be seeing a retail version of the Darkglass preamp used in the new Dingwall NG2 bass. He said it's in the works and will be called the B2M - to which I warned him about the Sonuus B2M bass-to-MIDI converter! And to thank me for giving him the heads up on that, he's going to send me a t-shirt and one of the prototypes, what a dude!

Listening to the end of that second song, I can get pretty close to that with my Darkglass Vintage Deluxe. It's a great pedal for adding drive but with clarity, whereas some other pedals can over compress the lows and make everything sound woolly.

I just received today one of these: And it is THE quietest bass I've ever had. I can boost the gain on the amp, but for it to sound good with other dirt pedals it needs a bit of juicing so I'm resorting to using a Phat Phuk B boost as an always on pedal. I opened it up and spotted something that doesn't look quite right. This is a passive bass with humbuckers and the volume pots are Alpha B25K jobbies. I know Fenders use 250K and I though most humbucker equipped basses like T-Birds used 500K? Any opinions on whether these pots sound totally wrong and if I could expect a volume boost by replacing them for 500K ones? Also considering making it active, there's enough room in there for a pre without having to route a battery box!

Bandcamp rocks. I've bought more music from that site than all other sites combined! They do FLAC downloads too! People can play the entire album for free on the website to check it out before buying it, then I would offer the download for a few quid and CD for a few quid more.

Finally some good news for Android, hope to see more support in future! http://liliputing.com/2014/11/now-samsung-phones-can-act-like-guitar-effects-pedals.html

Still does it. When I press on the video image, all that happens is the Quote and Edit buttons appear, as if I just pressed on the text area of a normal post. HTC One Max btw.

Nope, tried a few other sites with embedded YouTube videos and they're all working except for Basschat!

Just a test: http://youtu.be/u07Xf-kVjzk

I used to be able to play YouTube videos embedded into posts either directly in the browser, or by clicking on the title to launch then in the YouTube app, but now I just see the image with the play button and nothing happens when I press it. Not sure if this is a site update or Chrome update that's broken something?

I run mine into a Darkglass VMT Deluxe. Doesn't sound right without a hint of dirt after it!

Try overdrive into octave if you're doing it the other way around. Otherwise all that extra low end and volume going into the Blueberry is just creating more distortion.

It's great for Wolfmother covers! The bassist flicks between bass and organ on some tracks, add a bit of dirt after the B9 and it gets pretty close!

It's not perfect, but it is unique and definitely useable. I can go below open A no problem, even below E. But for some reason it warbles when playing A!
