I will!!! Which reminds me, I really must find time to post the other 400 odd videos I've recorded for bass chatters!

I'll be doing a full video review as soon as I can get my hands on one!

Had he have learned the song from notation such as the version in Guitar Pro, he will have seen it notated in the key of E Major (4 sharps) but the guitars are indeed 'detuned' down a semi-tone, so maybe that's where the confusion lies?

After recording countless review videos for some of the nicest basses out in the wilds, I regret not buying many of them. I only have an empty wallet to save me from the weaknesses of GAS!! So, less of a case of didn't, more, couldn't. I'd love to have bought: (off the top of my head, there are SO many!) Overwater Progress IV 5 string Standard Mayones BE (Though I wanted a BE5) Mayones Viking Enfield Lionheart 4 PRS Kestrel 4 Fender USA '58.. if anyone can find a roasted Ash model.. YUM! Everything by Dingwall, but the ABZ 6, one of the first basses I reviewed was amazing. Vox Star bass (Aguilar version) Roscoe Fretless 6 Spector 4 LT Cort A5 Ultra A Maruszczyk fan fretted jazz bass. Soooo many!!! Just a few of my video reviews you can see HERE for a guitar mag and HERE for Bass Gear Magazine There are hundreds more out there but will keep ya busy for a wee bit! Don't get me started on amplifiers, cabinets and pedals!!

The same goes for using a Capo and playing the same shapes in each new position its placed.

Thats great news!! Treat the lil beaut to a service and set up too as you may be able to tidy up those odd fret buzzes with a tweak or two or at worst a fret dress I liked the bass tone by the way!

It’s my job #BassNerd Scatamonky, I’ve the GZR’s in a P bass too. They are superb! Usually EMGs like to be as high as possible (the actives) but lowering these will be fine as they are designed to be like 70’s pups. Of course, it’s worth checking your finger style technique as well if you’re still getting the ole clack after pulling the pups down. (Don’t wind them down too far as you’ll lose some of the midrange punch we crave.

Ahh, sorry, I missed your post basically saying exactly the same thing! Thanks mate

Wherever you like it to be! On both the Helix and Neural Quad Cortex, (and many more) you can even put the effects loop between and amplifier and a cabinet, if that's what you fancy! Indeed, all of my time based effects, modulations and the like always appear after any amplifier or cabinet sounds - so, as if they were applied later at mixing, not as pedals in a live rig, if you see what I mean? Ultimately the beauty of multi-effects is in being able to try things that you couldn't do in the real world without extra hardware. I love that flexibility.

It will still make a sound, especially if the pickups are a bit microphonic too.

Actually later on there's some fret clack too and fret buzz on an E2 which is quite prominent - 7th fret of the A string.

Frets is a different sound but can sometimes happen as well / blended in.

The strings are hitting the top of the pickups because you are plucking the strings towards the body rather than picking up and down - I can tell this is playing finger style.

a very familiar tale.

I used to have an account with Hypex. Their modules are brilliant and, I believe the choice that Barefaced went with for the FR800.

Both of these points depend a lot on the instrument, it’s hardware, its electronics and its strings! I’ve reviewed cheap basses with insane low B strings and expensive ones that surprised me. Not necessarily in a good way.

I have and use the Clarett USB 2Pre (not the current + version) and I find it to be exceptional. It has been used in my studio solidly everyday since I received it (and has both recorded and mixed many of my reviews for Bass Gear and Guitar Interactive Magazines. I really need more input channels now, so I did wonder about either going for a Scarlett Gen3 or even the Scarlett OctoPre to connect to my Clarett for another 8 channels of input. Either way, I think the Clarett is a very good interface and the likes of YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@JulianKrause speaks very highly of it - and he knows his tech! @Sibob is absolutely brilliant and knows his stuff Focusrite/Novation support has been amazing with my controllers and the like too, which means a lot to me as a professional. Cheers Si!

Thank you, very kind of you to say! I did have a thread up with about 100 links on pre BassChat update, so I guess I can copy some of the links (if they still work) from that. Sadly I know that some of my reviews have been lost due to a "web server crash", I'm not sure why it wasn't backed up, but there ya go. Everything with Bass Player Magazine and Bass Gear Magazine is safe and online though.

Updated last night too. All sound so far!! My presets are intact and everything is where it should be! I'm hoping to get some time to shoot a whole bunch of walk-through videos on the QC in coming weeks, we shall see how we do with time!

Now I just have the issue of linking hundreds of reviews on to Basschat!

Thank you!! It is quite literally a dream job, yes! This bass gear obsession has taken over the majority of my life so I guess all this experience should be put to good use and give something back. I love making these videos and writing reviews. Hopefully a shed load more to come this year!

I rememebr this one very well!
