Bassman Steve Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='Jazzneck' timestamp='1446198788' post='2897603'] A term used by my 21 yo nephew who attended BIMM for a few years studying bass. Apparently I do not hold my fretting hand "properly" and that I would fail Grade 1 because of this. The fact that I have played bass in bands for nearly as long as he has lived, that he suffers from RSI in his left wrist and thumb and he has the highest grade possible leads me to believe I am missing something and I should continue to learn so I can be like him. [/quote] Ah, music college. Maybe I've got music all wrong but part of me thinks that if you have to learn it, you can't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzneck Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 [quote name='lo-freq' timestamp='1448069440' post='2912934'] [1st post to basschat - I'm mainly here because I'm interested in the Barefaced cabs.] If your band or the venue has a decent PA, mic the cabinet. A Super Twin II or Big Twin II would be a tad bit more efficient than the Two10, so you might have to mic that as well. The original cab will be a major contributing factor to the tone, but I suspect just about any of Alex's cabs would sound great with that head. [/quote] Welcome to the mad house! Your right about the tone with the original cab. although the Barefaced does push out more lower frequencies which I like. Mic.ing up is an option but I prefer using the Sansamp as a splitter / DI into the PA which seems to work well, as long as the sound man knows what he's doing. That's another can o' worms, though........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
