    p.s I dumped the valerie.mid into cubase, deleted all the other tracks except the drum part and exported it, leaving just the drums alone. BC wont let me upload it as an attachment, but I have it here if you want me to email it over.

    Pedal to make finger style sound like a pick ???

    in Effects

    Posted

    Hi guys!

    Well.. A few thoughts.. If you want a sound similar to a pick with fingers, then before you start working on EQ ? compression and other gadgets.. look at the differences between your fingers and a pick. the most obvious being that the pic is a solid bit o' placky and ya fingers are all squidgy! lol.. soooo.. mebbe think about getting those finger tips harder and..well..less squidgy! Build up those callouses! Play lots, do lots of finger exercises and have a search on the ole t'interweb for advice on how to harden the skin. There are one or two products out there which can help.. I have heard that Surgical Spirit from Boots can help ya mits toughen up too. It's gonna require work! But to describe what I mean.. have you ever shaken hands with a buidler before? Leather hands ha ha!! (Ok.. I'm not suggesting all of you skin should be like that.. just your finger tips. Whilst you are working on your finger tips..all those exercises will be good for dexterity in general! A bit of extra practice never hurt anyone.

    I use compression, drive and eq to add bite to my sound. I tend not to use a pic unless there are very fast passages in songs. I prefer to to build speed with my fingers as it's easier to string skip on a wide neck!

    My good mate Matt Goom is the drummer for Glenn Hughes. The last time I spoke to him he was fitting one of these to his drum stool to go with his in ears to really feel the thump from his kit!!!

    I have a GS112 and I love it for low volume rehearsals and writing sessions. The mid scoop accentuated the bottom end which can be a good thing at those lower volumes. Never cranked mine right up.. so.. well.. to be honest it probably isn't even broken in yet!

    Such a light cab! Awesome!

    I have a sneaky suspicion it maybe a bit short for the depth of the amp. I *think* my SVT 2 Pro fitted the normal size case ok.The doors on the Gaitor cases are rather deep though, so you may just get it in. I'd find out the dimensions of the SVT from the manual and measure up to be on the safe side!

    [quote name='Sibob' post='256937' date='Aug 7 2008, 09:27 AM']Paul here is a good mate of mine, I'm glad that people just suggested the two things I did....makes me feel warm and.....well....right lol

    I know Dood uses Darklord strings on Doodle (his 7 string paul), but I pointed him in Dood's direction more for advice on bridges.

    [quote name='peted' post='257015' date='Aug 7 2008, 10:38 AM']Warwick Darklord strings are taper-wound at the bridge so they should fit most standard bridges (meaning that you won't have to replace it!). That'll give you a .175 string for the F# which Dood has previously endorsed.[/quote]


    Ahhh Hello! Yes! I saw your post to my MySpace! I know what you're after now!

    Well.. as above, I am using my 'sig' Jon Shuker 7 string and my F# is a Warwick Dark Lord. I can't really add any more to the discussion about bridges, as the Dark Lord .175 will fit into a standard top loading bridge and this would be the best way to go. Have a look at my review here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=137"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=137[/url] for some pictures! ;o)

    When it comes to making the note sound.. my bass is a bit spesh, despite being a 34" scale that I have been told 'shouldnt' sound any good lol.. Sounds massive!

    You mention NewTone! Excellent strings, but the guys made me a standard (higher tension) 145 gauge F# string and that worked very well! I'm not sure if I have any spares now though. Basically, we told them that the string was going to be tuned down, so they made the string to suit the required tension to get the set feeling good across the neck. I reckon you should try that too!

    Here's some more info about my 7 string with said strings! [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3746"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=3746[/url]
