  1. Don't buy a bass you dislike. How difficult is that? I hate the droopy lump on the fender headstock. Solution: I own zero fenders.
  2. Could you try putting the speaker on stands instead of on the desk?
  3. I use a slightly thinner pick than average, .70 - .88mm, I know some like them even thinner and play with a light touch (I don't). On the amp start by cranking the input to push as much tone as possible in to the system, try to keep it out of the red zone but peaks may occur it's not a problem. Add some drive and comp on the amp to add texture to the sound. Make it ugly enough that you really have to squint and maybe have another pint to think it pretty. We're getting close. The eq. Try to find the clack of the pick, could be somewhere around 3k to 7k Hertz, and roll it off some but don't mute it. Lastly if you need more meat, bump the 300-360 Hz until happy. Try with band and try recording and listening which settings sound good in context.
  4. Some left handed keyboard players posing as bassists trolling here obviously.
  5. Double -or contra- basses are still with us, plus the whole thing was developed on the electrified guitar platform. A product just waiting to happen, not unlike electric piano/organ.
  6. The 80s and early 90s pop/rock/metal were dominated by B.C.Rich.
  7. You'll end up hearing most of the harmonics -depending on eq- the timbre even. Which I imagine is the point of using a low f# tuning. It will sound very different to F# tuned up from E.
  8. Get a Warwick Vampyr Dark Lord, they come with a factory setup in F#.
  9. Guessing it wasn't a large venue or metal gig. Yes, you can do some gigs for £150.
  10. Among other things. Without calibration this is like throwing food at a wall to judge the flavour.
  11. I was pleasantly surprised by his cameo in the Book of Boba Fett series.
  12. No use living in fear of missing something. There's two you love and two you like. You know which to let go.
  13. Sounds like there's a bit of chorus on the main signal, and they dubbed flanger/distortion for that part. You hear the main track continue nearly unaffected.
