[quote name='louisthebass' timestamp='1484499472' post='3215894'] Good book written by a great bass educator: [url="https://www.amazon.com/Blues-Bass-Essential-Techniques-Supplement/dp/0634089358/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1235602286&sr=8-1"]https://www.amazon.c...35602286&sr=8-1[/url] Starts you off from basics and will get you up and running in a Blues band in no time. [/quote] +1 to Ed Friedland. The examples are actual well-known blues numbers.

I confess I used to be a bit snobby towards Zoom, but one of the guitarists in one of my bands uses a Zoom (G5 I think) and it sounds phenomenal.

Go to gigs and introduce yourself to them in the break. Give them your card. Get a free website and big yourself up on it.

Lovely! By contrast I have a black Duo Jet:

[u]Description[/u] This 1U multi-effect unit from Boss features analog overdrives and distortions, digital delay, reverb, and modulation effects, and COSM amp and speaker simulation. There are instrument inputs front and rear, a mono series/parallel fx loop with level control, and stereo outputs. There are 100 user and 100 preset memory locations, and fx blocks can be combined [u]in any order[/u], making this a very flexible device. There is a large backlit display, and the menus are easy to access. To me the only 'hard' part of editing occurs when setting up external foot-switches and continuous controllers, the rest is pretty much a doddle. The unit can be set up to run into the front of an amp, the fx loop, or both(!), or into full-range speakers. Although originally intended as a guitar processor, there is plenty here for the bass player too - compression/limiting, octave (up as well as down), fuzz, drives, delays, reverbs etc. [u]Condition[/u] I gigged this for 3-4 years, in which time it was kept in a rack case. It is in very good condition - the display, data wheel and all sockets work fine, except for a bit of a crackle when first inserting a jack into the front input (after which it gives no trouble). It has since been in my home studio, working as a recording front-end. There are a few scratches on the case from jack plugs, otherwise cosmetic condition is good. The unit comes complete in its original box with Boss BRC power supply and user manual - you can easily find a pdf of this online too, or I can email one to you if you like. [u]Price and trades[/u] I am using plugins more now, and as ever I have my eye on something else, so it's time for the GX700 to go. I am looking for [b]£90[/b] with insured UK delivery. You might find one for less on eBay, but not in this condition, boxed etc. I am happy to consider trades via PM - hit me up as they say!

Maybe something like this - mid-heavy overdriven amp? [media]http://youtu.be/SiyACb40TUM[/media]

I believe the OP is referring to the 'and' of the 4.

Let's not forget heft. Actually, yes, let's forget heft.

I had flats (Chromes) on my G&L L1505 (now owned by Pinball) and they worked great, loads of top end when you wanted it. Didn't like Cobalts though, they felt like half-rounds and sounded like rounds!

New Ampeg PF 20 and PF 50 and a new Cab too
JapanAxe replied to Thunderpaws's topic in Amps and Cabs
Pretty sure a couple of BC members have PF50s, just can't remember their user names! I was toying with the idea of a PF50 until the pound/euro rate pushed the prices up. Now I'm waiting for them to appear in BC marketplace... -
I think the problem may lie with Audacity. If I record to Audacity on my iMac I sometimes get clicks like that, especially when the signal approaches 0dB. Try the same setup but recording into GarageBand.
