@Wolverinebass it’s a great technique and does the job really very well, anything is possible (well most things) with practice and I love what gingers bring to the party as well

More/full harmonics makes perfect sense. as a string buzzes in its home/fundamental waveform it also in multiples so a low E is 41Hz, 82Hz, 123Hz etc. Unless you palm mute, with a pick you will get more jangle on the strike, fingers always deaden the note slightly on pluck and on travel around the strings. Up strike, down strike, angle is pick attack, fingernails etc. All Make a huge difference

But what you forget is I was formed from the medicloreans and your puny constraints bear no reflection on me

Could be wrong but if memory serves the SB bass was the late 60s about 1968 BB1200 about 1977 and that’s when people sat up and took notice and Yammy started being a bass great bass players used over the ages recording and live

@Al Krow be happy to find out if I am wrong with chronology, but before berating did you check it yourself?! Its an alternate theory which I think you will find holds water. So in your arm chair or expert view: Through neck vs bolt vs set. 1 piece vs more pieces bodies laminate vs single piece neck Fretboard properties on sound

@Al Krow or chronology/cost Bias BB1200 - first proper BB bass - nostalgia BB3000 - re design, altered pick up placement and higher fret access to improve the 2000 TRP - new model Nathan East - bling, pre amp and bloody expensive soncourse you are gonna like it to justify the expense! Aesthetically neck through looks nice too. The debate can extend to 1 piece/multi piece basses with fans and detractors and reasons either way for the argument

Indeed that is a funny view (not criticising) as it’s by no means a reflection of build quality, but will of course be a subject of debates about the benefits of 1 vs another etc

Yep Into an Alto TS212 Sounds great, run it too hot, you can make it fart!

Highly logical mind I am blessed with is a curse! No plans on this, but I know it will be a good unit. Cables are pretty cheap these days, Bax Shop often have deals when you are picking up Lava cables normally £60,70 plus for £20-30. Conversations with high volume gigging mates of mine tell tales of going through XLR cables frequently, because being prized they are often stolen, Jack ones less so. Yamaha/Line6 are thinking about their public

Yep, fully appreciate that XLR tends to be 3 pin, just checking I wasn’t going loonytunes in my old age. So in essence no extra equipment needs to be carried, so long as you have the right cables

Please tell me if I am being oversimplistjc or thick, but so far as XLR cables go are there not multiple attachments? Male/Male, Female/Female, Male/Female, Male-1/4, Female-1/4,1/4-1/4 etc. No dongle, no extra equipment, just the right cable for your needs with most mixers having various inputs balanced and unbalanced. Not trying to convince anyone on any connection BTW or to buy something

I have a Geezer Wah Its the absolute dogs bollox, don’t need to click on it’s ready to rock. Set upnout the box on GZR settings and when you fully depress it it pokes those higher mids out so you could just depress it to poke yourself out. Flip away and it acts like a wah and the low end is not sucked out. If you want to change the settings you have to open it up, but that’s not a bad thing, stops anything you set it for getting changed in transit. Uses batteries or 9v, what more can you want. Fully very happy with mine

Good stuff Nancy Am I correct in hearing all kinds of Tech21 goodness all over that?

@dannybuoy that ship has sailed, the audience won’t hear that, it’s much too niche for them

@Al Krow ah I remember those old days of filters, I used to be so funky. So what’s the difference between limiting and compression to make it more applicable to filter sounds?

@Al Krow Keeley limiting pedal related signal spikes, not technique of course. Sorry to other Dave, but it’s after me mate Dave Tubes as in more than one M6 produced unless yours is singularly the only one ever made, and I am pretty sure MESA did not invent the 12AX7 vacuum tube

@Al Krow where the MXR, Aguilar, CaliCB, Keeley Bassist (no saying this is only a limiter, it’s not!) or the tubes (yes they compress) in your MESA M6 have failed to provide any meaningful value to your sound with regards their compressive effects, let the mighty but tiny Spectracomp (or David as it shall now be known) step forward into the arena to slay those other Goliaths.

@Al Krow The rate you are going through compressors it’s no wonder omnilabs is now defunct. You can officially change your avatar to @King Comp

Yep one of many ways to play it

Same as the normal song but instead of playing an open D higher, play the open D on the lowest string. The rest is pretty easy

Possibly so if it’s replaced it....

@Chienmortbb exactly the point. Wide brush strokes over a genre/class/type of something are unhelpful IMHO. In some circumstances it is helpful, for example as you mentioned Sansamp (Tech21 are great) have a tone to groups of their pedals, but also it can unfairly pigeonhole others
