Sight Reading - Accidental Over Bar line Question
Higgie replied to dustandbarley's topic in Theory and Technique
Agreed. Tied note or not, without another accidental indicating otherwise, the red circles would be all F Naturals. -
Here we have a 2001 Musicman Stingray 5 String bass. It's in what I believe to be a rare finish (I haven't seen another one anyway!) called Silver Sparkle. It's in good condition with only a few knocks (top of the headstock, as most basses tend to have nowadays, and one small nick through the finish on the lower edge of the body) but what would you expect from a 14 year old bass that's been gigged! It's been all over the world with me, and never let me down once, in fact, the only reason I'm selling is I need some cash. It has a maple neck/fretboard, 3 band EQ, and also comes with 2 scratchplates - Black Pearl and Silver Paisley. It needs some new strings and there are 2 pickguard screws missing (I have them somewhere, the Paisley pickguard has 2 holes that just don't quite line up, and I didn't want to drill new holes, so just removed the screws. Worked a treat! The Black Pearl guard fits perfectly) but other than that, it's in perfect working order. I can take more pictures if needed! £925 includes the original EBMM Hardcase. Would be willing to do a deal without the case, as I have another 2nd hand Stingray that's living in a gig bag! Cash is king, but would be willing to listen to part ex deals on anything, with cash coming my way. Run it past me, worst I can say is no! Bass is located in Chingford, NE London. [s]S[/s][s]hipping can be arranged at buyer's expense[/s] Shipping now included in the price! Meeting within reasonable distance is also an option, lets discuss via PM. Cheers James

It's still being looked after Nik Plugged it in yesterday for the first time in ages, and compared it against my original 70's Mutron III and 3 Leaf Proton. It sounds easily as good as both of them in my opinion! Also has the ability to plug an expression pedal into it and use it as a Wah, so pretty amazing for the price! Someone jump on this now!

Best effect pedal for muse/song 2/etc. - WITH ACTIVE BASS
Higgie replied to Guinness21's topic in Effects
I used a Prunes and Custard for ages with an active bass. Works fine! -
-
No worries mate. I have the Echo Park digital delay and it could be really noisy when used with other pedals, isolating it worked for me!
-
I love my Analogman - But very tempted by the Aguilar as it looks a bit more versatile! How much are they Molan?
-
The Line 6 pedals are notoriously juice hungry as they are all digital. It will be because of the power supply. You might want to try powering it from either it's own supply, or pick up an Isolator Adaptor from Diago (or GigRig Virtual Battery) that will isolate just that output of the daisy chain.

[quote name='JTUK' timestamp='1412329336' post='2567844'] TH500 would be top of my list for class D..and it is the only one of that type, I've liked enough. If you want a very good amp at around 20lbs or so...go Thnderfunk. [/quote] I use a TH500 with my 2 Berg 2x10s and it sounds AMAZING.

Since learning to read actual notation, not only has my playing improved dramatically, but it's also been very helpful in learning more of the theory side of things, as you can actually "see" the relationships between the intervals, and how the key signatures affect what you see and play. For example you would "see" the same C and E notated whether the key be C or Cm, but the key signature will tell you which "E" to play. I've found it's also really developed my ear, too. I was a long time user of TAB, but since learning to read I'm now a pro musician on a cruise ship, backing different artists every day, seeing the world, having loads of fun, AND getting paid to do it. Wouldn't have been possible without learning to read notation, and no amount of TAB would ever have got me there!

That's exactly what I mean. I didn't realise flats could do that kinda thing. Tempted to get some on my 5 String Jazz now!! Thanks for your comment on my version of the track too

So after watching this video of Pino Palladino with Nine Inch Nails on his Precision with flat wounds: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYzUQdZMkrk[/media] I decided to buy some flats for one of my Precisions (Dimarzio Model P equipped 82 Squier JV P 57 Reissue) and it's absolutely awesome. I did a quick sound clip trying to play the tune above. The strings are D'Addario Chromes, and it's the P down tuned to DGCF as on the video going straight into an Aguilar Tonehammer 500 DI'd into an Apogee Duet 2 and recorded in Logic. Couple mistakes in there but what the hell here it is warts and all! [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1rodgectcbnf0f/All%20Time%20Low%20Mix.mp3?dl=0"]https://www.dropbox....%20Mix.mp3?dl=0[/url] The strings are obviously brand new and supposedly they get better with time, so I'm looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about! Really looking forward to playing this through an octave pedal now too! Anyone else new to the flat wound string, or any long time users want to chime in with their experience? What are your favourite strings?

I had 2 DB212s and a DB750 so I definitely feel your pain. I eventually moved the 212s on and went with 2 Bergantino AE210s. These cabs are pretty light, not unbelievably so, but they feel really solid and well constructed. I also bought a TH500 as the DB750 is a lump in itself, and really couldn't be happier. They are easily the best 210s I've ever used. One being enough for most rehearsal/small gig situations, and 2 sound absolutely HUGE! I kept the DB750 around though - Sometimes I just can't resist bringing out the big guns

I use [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pedal-Board-Tape-Self-Adhesive-Professional/dp/B002SFULCW]THIS[/url] stuff. It's never let me down!

[quote name='skej21' timestamp='1398758092' post='2437192'] I might try this! I always go the other way and have Compressor &--#62; Tuner &--#62; TH as I have a passive bass and want the headroom from the TH going into the amp. So I avoid letting the TH come first as I don't want the headroom to be compressed and then go into the amp, if that makes sense. I never thought of using the preamp as if it were in the bass and then running it that way. [/quote] I'm using the Aguilar TLC for Compression, and I just use the volume control on that to give me a nice strong signal thats got a touch of compression on it going to my amp, and both pedals (TLC and Sadowsky Pre) are always on (unless using my Stingrays in which case I turn the Sadowsky off). There are definitely advantages to running it how you do, but I just prefer my tone to be shaped how I want it before it hits the rest of my pedals! As usual, it's horses for courses!

With regard to putting the Tone Hammer as the last thing in the chain, it depends! As it is a preamp the argument could be made that if you were playing an Active bass, it would have a preamp inside, therefore the first thing in the chain would be a preamp. I for example run my Sadowsky Preamp/DI first in the chain, as the tone it gives to my bass(es) is what I want to pass through the rest of my effects, otherwise you end up basically EQ'ing the rest of pedals, instead of sending them your EQ'd signal. Personally, I would run it like this: Bass > Tuner > Tone Hammer > Compressor > Octamizer > FZ-5/Big Muff > MXR BEF. Also, you will get wildly different sounds running a Fuzz into an Envelope Filter, than a Filter into a Fuzz, so you may want to try the FZ-5 and Big Muff either side of the Filter. You might find one works better before and one after, so you get the best of both worlds! I have tried a few different combinations and to be honest I always run Fuzz into Filter, and never the other way round. But it really depends on the pedals, the bass, the player etc and so you might find it really works for you. Experimentation is key here I'm afraid!

I'll take one at £8! Count me in.

No the 2 EQ models never had them, as far as I'm aware - It wouldn't be too big a job to just replace the pots, but don't you just run everything full up on a Stingray anyway??

[quote name='dannybuoy' timestamp='1397664121' post='2426239'] I'm sure Max would be able to print you out a custom label if you asked him nicely! Better still, hide it under the board and you have room for another pedal! [/quote] I'll take one if he does! That thing looks great!

Not a brilliant shot, but just put this all together: It's currently multitasking as a Home Studio/Media Server/Normal Desktop. 2012 Mac Mini 2.3gHz Quad core i7, 4GB RAM (16GB arriving tomorrow), 1TB HDD, Mavericks, Logic Pro 9 Connected to: 27" Thunderbolt Display Dell 22" Monitor on HDMI Output of Mac Mini for Dual Screen Glyph GT050Q 1TB HDD Harmon Kardon Soundstick Speakers Audio Interface: Apogee Duet 2 PJB Bass Buddy Preamp/Headphone amp/DI Sennheiser HD280 Pro Headphones I run my whole audio from Movies to Music to Games, all through the Apogee. I plug my bass into the PJB which is DI'd straight to the Apogee's first input. I split the headphone output of the Apogee and send one signal to the speakers, and one to the Aux In on the PJB. The headphones then plug into the PJB. This means I can listen to the track/click/movie via headphones or speakers. Then I just mute the bass channel in Logic while recording so I don't get the doubling up of the PJB signal and the signal being sent by the Apogee into the Aux in, and I'm good to go! If I just want to use headphones I unplug the splitter from the Apogee and just go straight in. Also pictured is a 2012 Macbook Pro (Non Retina) (8GB RAM, 750GB HDD, OSX Lion with Logic Pro 9) and a 32GB iPad Air. The Keyboard is an M-Audio 88 Key. I'm actually looking to move this on (or at least trade down to a smaller keyboard) as I really am not much of a keys player, and with space at a premium in my house I think it best I downsize to a smaller Keyboard. So if anyone is interested or has anything to trade, please message me! [attachment=159683:IMG_1676.JPG]
