In that case I would probably place the SLO before the Zoom, so like this: Compressor -> Octaver -> Chorus -> SLO Reverb -> Zoom ambient effects -> Sansamp Preamp But if you use the Sansamp for dirt I would recommend placing it before the Zoom, like this: Compressor -> Octaver -> Chorus -> SLO Reverb -> Sansamp Preamp/Dirt -> Zoom ambient effects

I would go: Compressor -> Octaver -> Chorus -> Mooer Reverb -> Zoom ambient effects -> SLO Reverb -> Sansamp Preamp Octavers usually benefits from having a compressor before them, and reverb doesn't sound good with compressor after it, but I do like the sound of reverb into delay, which you would normally do the other way, produce a bit more washed out bigger sound. Depending on how exactly you use the Zoom and the SLO one could argue they'd swap spot as well, and one could also argue one of them going after the preamp instead of before. In the end it all depends on how exactly you use these pedals and what kind of sound exactly you are going for, there are no rules set in stone of how to order pedals, in the right context pretty much any order goes. But given I get the impression that you do a lot of ambient stuff I would recommend the first above order I stated.

I suppose he is right though, if the purpose is just to make any content for the sake of content, but inset the word "quality" in front of "content", and the statement becomes absolutely absurd. Nothing new about shit costing next to nothing to produce though, unless of course it is expensive shit.

Or you could get a Boss LS-2, that would allow you to have two basses plugged in at the same time, and it would allow you to individually adjust the volume of both and to swap between them simply by pressing the footswitch. And if you got another setup where you only use one bass, the LS-2 can also be used as effects loop and signal blender, for instance for blending a distortion pedal with parallel clean signal. Or if you feel adventurous mix for example a flanger pedal in parallel with a phaser, that combination sounds pretty amazing. A bit of a swish army knife utility pedal. Can both work as a line/signal path selector with volume controls for each individual line/signal path, or as an effects looper with parallel blend functionality.

Well, I think they still ought to dig someone up and animate their corpse.

And what about Sid Vicious? I think they should dig him up and animate his corpse with AI, can't possibly need to be too advanced to nail it.

Buy a cheap graphic EQ pedal, put everything in center, except for the volume slider, adjust the volume slider so that the output of your Sandberg matches your other basses, engage said EQ pedal each time you swap to the Sandberg. If you still want to go through with the pickup swap though I'd suggest an EMG Geezer Butler signature P pickup.

I have painted some of my pickguards before with acrylic paint, and with great results. For best results you should finish with a couple a sprayed clear coats.

NPD (New Pickup(s) Day) maybe? Anyway, congratulations. I've personally made a NOBD (New Old Bass Day) thread before, with a rediscovered bass I'd already owned for years.

They can't... That's when you get people complaining about not being able to hear them self with an 800W amp, and asking for more power, where a 200W amp under normal circumstances would have been more than plenty. And honestly I have never really got what it is that is supposed to sound so great about scooped mids, sounds like wet fart to my ears. Trace Elliot are some other amps that sounds amazing, as long as you refrain from pushing the dreaded, so called "Pre Shape", mid suck buttons.

I think it looks good, though it would have looked better, even awesome, without the yellowish "scale" patterns, which admittedly does make it a bit tacky looking. But love the green color and the fonts.

Well, the point is that not all fuzzes and distortions are dynamically sensitive and actually has an audible change in tone and gain structure according to how hard/soft you play, this seems to do that. Most fuzzes and distortions sounds the same but just gets quieter/louder when you play softer/harder.

By that logic we should all play digital samples via a midi keyboards hooked up to an iPad and we should throw all other instruments out with the garbage and never play them again. I honestly don't get your point at all. They are all tools, all with some unique sounds and timbres that opens up for different unique possibilities and options of tonal expression and broadens the tonal palette when creating music.

That sounds pretty damn awesome!

Plastic Fantastic Lover - Jefferson Airplane

The original from 1983, which I personally prefer to the 1988 remix :

It's absolutely nothing like that. That is just a high frequency band EQ. Though a HPF set high, eventually followed by a graphic EQ with the highest bands boosted some, followed by and overdrive, all in an effects loop blended with "clean" signal, via for example a Boss LS-2, might be able to create a somewhat similar effect.

Not once you paid for a Mac to run Logic though. Also plenty of genuinely great free VST plugins, in fact some of my absolute favorite VST effects are free.

I once owned one... Never again! Most expensive piece of absolute crap I ever bought!

Reaper!

I can't help you, but you might have more luck asking in the "Effects" sub forum.

Teenage Riot - Sonic Youth

Attach a simple cheap capo like this over the strings behind the nut on the head: Will very effectively make sure that the strings sits tight down in the nut slots and will prevent the strings from rattling/vibrating between the nut and the tuners.

Try turning gain down to bellow 12 o'clock, 10 o'clock or so, and even lower if your bass happens to have high output (humbuckers/active), and turn up the master volume instead to compensate.

On paper at least the Ampero II Stomp is superior, and cheaper, to the Helix HX Stomp. So is the Boss GT-1000CORE, well superior, on paper at least, that is, but it is also more expensive than both. Where the HX Stomp is superior to both the Boss and HoTone is that Line6, as far as I gathered at least, is a bit more generous when it comes to updates of the firmware with new effects and functions included (I might have gotten that wrong though). Regardless though all 3 I would say would be a substantial upgrade to your current Zoom units, especially when it comes to amp emulations and cab sims (as well as you would gain the ability to run parallel effect chains (and in this aspect the Boss is objectively much more flexible and vastly superior to both the HX and Ampero Stomp)).
