Pick Up The Pieces - Average White Band

There is an awesome Behringer Brassmaster NAM available at tone3000. My go to fuzz with the anagram. Could someone do some NAMs of a Capo?

Start by familiarising yourself with the intro verse and choruses before the bridge. Two bars of C one bar of F and last bar Ab and G.Or the 1 to the 4 and then the 6 to the 5 in C Minor. The 4 6 5 movement repeats before the 1st and 2nd chorus chant and the bridge section. Edited 10 hours ago by Terry M. Yes this is what I said originally. No mention of 5 to 6.

The original thread was about outlandish pricing Jake, of which I thought this was an example, hence my post. Thanks for the explanation.

I've gone from several pedals (octaves, chorus, big muffs) to just an Empress bass comp and tuner. I love the empress compressor, it adds a little bit of harmonic distortion. Its subtle, but it makes the bass sit better in a mix. I do think a tiny bit of drive is essential

Greetings from the Mile High city! Been playing music for 29 years, 3 years into the bass and loving the vibe. I keep coming back to this site for the different conversations, figured it's time to join. Cheers!

I was hoping that might not be the case, though I suspect you are right. I will go for lightweight 6 if I have to.

Good evening, friends. Here's the thing: I bought a set of Rotosounds SH77s a few months ago. I took it to my luthier, he put the strings on, and right away I noticed that the G string had an "old string" sound, completely dull. Well, I asked the dealer here in my country for a replacement string and they gave me a brand new set. My luthier put them on, and when I got home, the G string was dull again... Now I'd like to know what could be happening. I tried taking the string off and putting it back on, and I didn't see any difference. Maybe my problem is with the Badass Bass bridge or the tuning machines. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? I've read elsewhere that it's a problem that can happen with Fenders... By the way, my bass is a Japanese Fender Steve Harris.

I’ve just played with it tonight and hooked it up with my focusrite via xlr. I quite like what I hear on the settings I’ve dialled in. It sounds amazing just before breakup and that’s how I set it up. I noticed when I engage my Octabvre and Doom, it kinda sounds a bit rounded? Probably the cabsim. It’s not bad. It pairs well with the Empress whether it’s light or heavy compression, I quite like it. The Capo is more versatile but I found it easier to dial a nice vintage tubey tone with the Bassrig. I have a love and hate relationship with the Capo’s B channel. Sometimes i love it but sometimes I feel it’s underwhelming. Spent the night playing around. I found it easy to dial my go-to tones. I like the Noble here than the Stomp. The Kaamos Octaver sounds ace and it tracks so well. Envelope Filter and Moogerfooger sounds organic and waaay better than the Stomp filters. Very easy to navigate and work with. Only thing I’m missing is a good sounding synth brassmaster type fuzz. I can’t get the duality to sound the way I like. Also a 1176 style compressor would be good! Hyper luminal is meh for me but it is workable and useable. It’s a good purchase for me and I’m glad I did.

Yes, we were lucky. Getting a slot at Summerfest is all about politics and who you know. Daryl

Can any users confirm the actual power requirements? Listed is 2A, but then the HX Stomp lists 2/3A, can't remember which. Considering a board rearrange to move from a Stomp XL to an Anagram, but I'd like to know how much more of the board will need to be rearranged to accommodate it.

I’ve been a session and touring bassist for almost 50 years, most recently with the Motown group The Miracles. Pedals are fun to play around with but take a lot of time to learn how to dial them in, especially if you play live. Most top session players don’t use them much if at all. I do have some pedals manufacturers have given me but they are mostly wall decor. I do have an Ampeg SCR DI I use in ampless situations. A compressor pedal is pretty useless to me as I’m always working with pro sound guys who are taking care of that live or in the studio. I have had effects added to tracks I played on after the fact but otherwise I like my bass to sound like a bass and so do most of the people who will hire you. I’ve yet to meet a bassist who was hired because of his or her effects.

Hey Pete - I’m playing at this festival tomorrow too with The Alligators, also in the blues tent. Think we may be on just before you - if so come and say hi? Cheers, Pete.

Isn't Ab to G 6 to 5 rather than 5 to 6?

Shattered - Stones

Gutted as I got rung up before my swimming lesson... cancelled due to a kid gaving an 'accident'. 💩 Rung up again a bit later as I'd booked lane swimming for afterwards.

Just needs a Mudbucker at the bottom of the neck and it'll be perfect! 🤔

Who cares? Great opportunity!

Pretty much what I said I think? I suggested the piece was in C minor before the half step modulation to C# after the bridge. GPT is saying what I said in the verses and chorus of two bars of C then a bar of F followed by a bar of Ab and G. F Minor pentatonic as you suggested doesn't sound right? 🙂 I only got as far as the chorus before the bridge as I was waiting to hear from the OP before going any further.

True, And you can run into some of the stars when we catch the shuttle Vans to the stage. Daryl

Pete, Sounds like it should be pretty cool. And I'll take a few hundred in the crowd any day. And the line up from 1970 is just the headliners. Daryl
