Gather a few bassists together and take it in turns to play the same bass. Leave all the controls the same, don't touch anything. Then come back to this thread 😁 I've done this with my bass at uni, and played other guys basses.

It's carbon fibre all the way as far as I'm concerned, much betterer than that nasty old fashioned wood stuff

I shared this on Facebook a couple of months ago, really interesting - [url="http://www.radio-astronomy.net"]http://www.radio-astronomy.net[/url]

Black holes are the bassists of the universe, 57 octaves lower than a middle C - [url="http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2003/09sep_blackholesounds/"]http://science1.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2003/09sep_blackholesounds/[/url]

In fact I don't think they are out yet, it says "available to order", doesn't say they're in stock.

[quote name='DiceSociety' timestamp='1434503398' post='2800292'] Looks really good. Just ordered one from Gak for £35, couldn't resist! [/quote] Didn't realise they were out yet ! Cool

I like the look of this - [url="http://www.tcelectronic.com/polytune-clip/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TCE+MI+NEWS+PolyTune+Clip&utm_content=TCE+MI+NEWS+PolyTune+Clip+CID_aa83de10646edde5fbd05acb27cb58ea&utm_source=Campaign%20Monitor&utm_term=PolyTune%20Clip"]http://www.tcelectronic.com/polytune-clip/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TCE+MI+NEWS+PolyTune+Clip&utm_content=TCE+MI+NEWS+PolyTune+Clip+CID_aa83de10646edde5fbd05acb27cb58ea&utm_source=Campaign%20Monitor&utm_term=PolyTune%20Clip[/url] Apparently it'll be about £39.

There's a Facebook page for theatre deps, have you tried on there too ?

This is all done with a single Ditto X2. [url="https://soundcloud.com/an-ending-ascend/26052015-live-improv"]https://soundcloud.c...015-live-improv[/url] I don't see an occasion when you'd need more than a single 5 minute long loop. What I like about the Ditto is its simplicity.

I'm without doubt a huge fan of the cello, i'd love to have learned to play. Anyway, this is a new album by one of my tutors at university, there's some truly beautiful playing on it. It also features ebowed guitar on some tracks. Check it out [url="http://www.audreyriley.com"]http://www.audreyriley.com[/url]

What's a leatherman ? Band uniform ?

[quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1433798203' post='2794143'] I like them very haunting. [/quote] Thank you

[quote name='burno70' timestamp='1433797509' post='2794129'] Do you use active or passive basses with it - and does it make a difference? [/quote] It has a John East pre fitted, but I don't always have it switched on. It doesn't seem to make any difference.

[quote name='ShergoldSnickers' timestamp='1433751803' post='2793518'] I think you have got the sense of space and the atmosphere bang on. Excellent. I recently bought an E-Bow and just getting used to the possibilities. A (very) short test piece I did here: [media]http://www.ianhalstead.com/fb/E-Bow-Logic.mp3[/media] Using Logic — great software — on a RIM Marseer 5 fretless. [/quote] Very nice dude !

I did my first gig with mine yesterday. Just a jazz gig, but in a rather strange shaped and very much larger than expected room. It was a cobble floored courtyard, with a very high glass atrium roof. Really nice atmosphere. I took a spare cable just in case I needed to DI into the PA, but it wasn't needed, the Double Four coped admirably. The sound was rich and deep, not at all what you'd expect from such a tiny little box. We were playing with 2 other bands, the bassist from the band that followed us asked if he could play through it, giving me the perfect opportunity to hear it myself. I have to say I was impressed.

[quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1433017926' post='2787164'] I have an E-Bow - works great on guitar, pants on bass! [/quote] It's just a question of practicing with it. I use one all the time.

Hall of fame, that's what I use. If you check out the recent live improv things on my Soundcloud page you can hear it. The Bluesky is amazing though, but very expensive.

I have a Dunlop volume X, it's well made, and works great. It doesn't seem to affect my sound at all.
