I used a hartke 3500 with a Peavey txf 410 for a bit. Between 200 and 300 bucks total I think and great sound! The bass I used was a Korean MTD 5 string.

I forgot Robert Trujillo's benchmark work! Suicidal Tendencies- Art of Rebellion Infectious Grooves - the plague that makes your booty move

Faith no More, Angel Dust is maybe their pinnacle album but on We Care a Lot you get a real treat to Billy's hard driven bass. Love that sound! Primus, Frizzle Fry. Claypool has been building on it ever since. Bolt Thrower, For Those Once Loyal. Jo Bench was always solid, absolutely nailed it here.

HAHAHAHAHA ahem Possibly the only one near the correct spot on the list yes.

Fair point!

Just fishing for Watts I bet!

Responses about as interesting and thoughtful as the original article 😄

Maybe there's a BCer in your area that'll let you try theirs?

You could try playing a more sparse, held back riff to accentuate the lead bits, gives it more drama! A preamp or eq pedal can boost your signal or tone a bit when you want. The mighty Boss LS-2 can have a loop with clean gain boost or cut, which also works if you want to blend your clean signal with effects that eat low end, like many overdrive and distortion do. If all else fails the guitar could use a looper to keep his riff going while he goes off. Still get a LS-2 though!

Very cool!

Could be that I don't understand the problem, are you recording from a direct line or micing you amp, or using a single overhead nice to capture your rehearsal? Are you hearing the pick click when you are playing? Are you hitting a pickup maybe?

Is the pick the real problem?

Spend some time in the shops. This 'feel' is so personal that most replies may not apply to you.

Done, you're welcome.

So sorry, it must be Kevin fever.

Ding a dang my dang-along ding dong.

When you're lost, do not go to the Kevin in the woods!

I heard that when his time comes, he's opted for cremation. Kevin shall burn.

Having the gear to play bass, or being prepared are hardly bringing "extra". That's the basics!

I think for today's standard a Hans Zimmer surpasses your McCartney's and other pop moguls. Still not sure if he's a Mozart though.

Wait, I think I know this one. It's me isn't it?

Not black Friday weekend but eBay had a 15% discount the week before. Used it to buy the family our first iPad and it's keyboard. Now to find uses for it to justify the spending ?
