I meant to ask before: Do you also sit on your hands for a bit, so it feels like someone else is playing your bass?

The M9 just gets confused and warbles when you try to pitch-shift a double stop.

[quote name='tinyd' post='913482' date='Aug 3 2010, 08:53 AM']I've got a Bassmax and Fishman Platinum Pro[/quote] I'm using this combo on my DB. I'm not entirely sold on the EQ on the Plat Pro tbh, seems like it could use more controls in the mids.

I got a message from him today too, in response to a wanted thread. I ignored it.

Reminds me a bit of my old Robot Factory Pulse Synth. That was a crazy little box, made some gnarly B-movie sci-fi sounds.

Either turn up way louder than them, starting playing soprano ukulele, or find another band that isn't obsessed with the current pencil-dicked metal trend of trying to play a bassier sounding guitar than everybody else.

I know a guy who's got an '80s L2000 that he is really precious about, and he swears the later ones aren't a patch on it. I haven't played enough of them myself to comment.

You can only play funk on one of [url="http://www.bem-music.com/list.pl?id=109956"]these[/url]. On any other bass it just doesn't work, I've tried.

There's been a guy selling something that looks very similar on eBay recently for [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Double-bass-pick-up-/200343269262?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Sting_Instruments&hash=item2ea563af8e"]about a tenth of that value[/url].

I can't remember. It was probably a Guns n' Roses song and I would've been using my Satellite jazz copy and probably a 10w practice amp.

You could do it with a simple true bypass looper (one into the input, the other into the loop return) if all you need is a mechanical switch. If you need to adjust the volume for each input, look at the Boss LS-2 - stick an instrument into each loop return and set the footswitch to switch between loop A and loop B.

I'm still gigging bass guitar regularly and I enjoy playing it but at home I don't pick it up.

Is it that red in the flesh? I like it.

I'm not massively bothered so long as it works and it doesn't look like a footballer's dining table.

Two for me: First bass I ever owned was a Satellite plywood Jazz copy that I paid £50 for. Turned out to be £45 too much.

[quote name='Beedster' post='908727' date='Jul 28 2010, 10:54 PM']MIJ Geddy Lee Jazz: just sounded puny as hell and the neck was so thin it was unplayable. Not a bass, just a long guitar really. MIA Jazz, late 90's. Shocking QC and tone. Described as 'rattly' by my then bandmates. Could not be set up.[/quote] ... and an early '90s MIA Jazz (one of the 22-fret ones) which was new when I got it, I gigged it for a summer and by the end I'd had to replace the bridge, machines and electronics, and the neck was twisting. It was garbage.

I don't know enough about music to call myself a musician. I don't really like being identified as a bass player either to be honest. I don't know what I would prefer.

Whenever I get cramp it's from dehydration, because I drink too much. If by any chance you drink as much as I do then that definitely could be the cause of your problem.

Shaun bought my Bass Micro Synth. He has excellent taste.

Ah right, garage fun time. I was picturing you stomping around trying to figure out which one of your six LED-less fuzzes was still switched on.

Why no LEDs? Are they all going on the same board? If both the above: Good luck!

Bought Ed's M9 multi-FX, which just arrived, and I will probably not get any work done today but that's not his fault! Cheers Ed.

Sold Len my Meatwad, all sorted quickly and easily, top guy.

[quote name='TPJ' post='908208' date='Jul 28 2010, 02:06 PM']Every room is different. Front room playing can sound sooo different then on a gig. My bass sounded it's best outside I feel for you guys about finding the right string. I'm a "just get on with it" sort of player (which is by no means for everyone) and I just do my best to make great sounds with what I have. My struggle is with string height. I like it high but it makes soloing difficult, but I just plow on. I hope you get settled down sooner than later so you can play and have fun.[/quote] Oh I'm already having fun, I play it just about every day, it's standing in a corner in my dining room and I can't walk past without turning it around and plunking a tune out, and I try to get an hour or so to work on "proper music learning" with it in the evenings if I can. Which I'm about to start...
