However I bet most people on here, if it was them, would be agonising over ever minor fluff and slightly mis-picked note and small timing glitch, and wanting to get back into the live room and for another take or at least a drop-in or two to fix it. When they are your mistakes it's a lot harder to let them be, because there's a good chance that eventually on repeated listening they will ruin the track for you. [/quote] Personally, I never listen to the bass out-of-context. If I can't hear it in the track, I let it go.

Wall hangers.

They're not intended to be listened to in isolation.

Nice score! it must have been fun. I'd love to buy a fixer-upper..

Carol Kaye played bass on every song EVER. True fact.

Look no further than our very own Bass Doc for all your pickguard needs. Drop him a PM and he'll sort you out for a very, very reasonable cost. Cheaper than Jeanie's, I'll bet.

Little miss WoT is called Constance, and little mister WoT is called Jet. Both bass-related, but don't tell the Missus. :-D

Cheers, Musky!

I thought I'd posted in this one already, but I can't see it. I must have dreamt it. Anyway, Laklands. Lovelier than the already lovely LaBellas, cheaper, and more definition in the mids.. very little clank and clatter. And let's face it - flats are about mids, not clank and clatter. They're out of stock but I can sell you some from the big box of them that I have in my shed that Walbassist referred to earlier. Only joking. Maybe.

Microbass II for me. Great bit of kit - everything the SansAmp does, without sucking the life out of your tone. However, you might like the SansAmp tone...

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362512750' post='2000628'] I'm using Lakland Joe Osborne Signature Flats and they're amazing. I also got really good results with La Bella Deep Talkin'. [/quote] Both of these, especially the Laklands... they're cheaper and growlier.

What would he have improved by upgrading? btw, the holes were where the string mutes used to be.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1362508885' post='2000486'] All good, but flats don't [i]have[/i] to be thumpy and fat. They can be clanky, buzzy, boingy and toppy as well. [/quote] Amen.

[quote name='4 Strings' timestamp='1362503126' post='2000327'] And those who mix the bass drum to have depth charge type sounds regardless of the music type and so operating at the same frequencies. [/quote] That drives me NUTS.

The main enemy of flats is sound guys / producers who don't know how to mix 'em.

Rock, country, blues, folk, pop, acoustic, electric...

Hello Japcrappers! Any ideas what this is? It's a friend's. Sorry if one has been ID'd in the thread already, but it's a bit long to read through...
