This is my plan so far, get a Metro 20 which should do the trick.

I had a TC Corona Mini chorus along with an EBS, Electro Harmonix, Boss, Behringer and a few others and they have all come and gone. Nothing touches the Harley Benton Chorus, it is incredible and the sound I had in my head. I have also tried the MXR Octave pedals and actually have the octave deluxe version up for sale. Again, the boss one does it for me. As a fretless player, the two most important pedals for me are Chorus and Octave and both of these pedals give me exactly what I am after tonally. I would actually give up everything else before these two pedals The Mini Polytune is a good shout though.

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

I have as well. He also has a tuner that can mute, it's just that he doesn't see the need to. -

For Sale/Trade: Sadowsky Metroexpress Modern 24 5 String Bass
Josh posted a topic in Basses For Sale
Hey Guys, I’m not 100% sure that I want to move this on, but I’m finding myself using my other bass a bit more often lately and this is sat being unplayed. I’ve owned this from new when they became available on Thomann earlier this year. It had a couple of high frets which were quickly professionally seen to by Mark at Wilts Guitar Repair. Other than that, the bass is in great condition and currently strung up with a fresh set of DR High Beams. All specs and info can be found here: https://www.thomann.co.uk/sadowsky_metroexpress_24_5_modern_ma_ss.htm Some videos of it in action: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH60nsVOcnq/?igsh=MXUzc2Q2Z3Zpdnp2eg== https://www.instagram.com/reel/DF3uTZ3NBr0/?igsh=MWJvd2FmM2VkdDc3ZQ== This bass comes with Sadowsky strap locks and a padded deluxe Sadowsky gig bag which is in great condition as well. I’d be interested in a possible trade for either: Spector Euro 5 String Musicman/Sterling Stingray 2EQ 4 String Lakland 55-60 5 String Warwick Streamer 5 String I have a Squier Classic Vibe 60’s jazz bass (Older model) that I could include as well for the right deal also. I have a box and can post at the buyers expense, otherwise this is can be collected from Bridgwater, Somerset. Thanks, Josh. -
This was one very interesting product. I couldn't find it from local shops, but your type number helped me to find and buy a few. Thank you Paul!

I do admit that sometimes tabs - even they are complex to read to me - may help with fingerings. It is interesting to see, how someone else is understanding and taming the fretboard.

Rob Mullarkey - my absolute favourite bass player ever.

I would also say, very much like his dad who also effortlessly flowed melodically around the fretboard, tastefully and always serving the song. -

You are very welcome and I am super happy you appreciated it, thank you John does have quite an extensive back catalogue and he never submitted his performance right for a lot of tracks so there's probably more recordings of him that we are not aware off. -
They are absolutely fine on trad large tuners. Just not on mini tuners like Ibanez use. Will be fine on a JMJ.

It was grim, I had a nasty bout of vertigo while setting up and a few wobbles while playing. I gad no idea the whole world would start warping and whirling round an hour after the gig!

Jamiroquai’s Space Cowboy transcription
Stub Mandrel replied to ambient's topic in General Discussion
I can't read pitch from a traditional score without great difficulty. But as I can read rhythm fairly well I find I can site read many songs from that sort of advanced tab including chsnhing to my preferred fingerings on the fly. -

How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?
dave_bass5 replied to nilorius's topic in General Discussion
Had a good rehearsal last night, but one of my guitarists still thinks it's the 70s. Small Marshall combo with a stack of Gain and drive pedals. Sound was good when playing (although really too heavy for most of our songs), but my god the noise when we stopped. Its sounded like there was a rain storm in the studio. I just dont get how he (or anyone else) can have that sort of noise when not playing. I have all the answers to how he can stop it, and if I ask him (got to the point where I was telling him) to turn if off he would, but totally clueless to the fact that he needed to. Even worse, I was the only one that this bothered. Dreading the next gig. -

Repeats, Sine, Codas etc. It's the accepted way of reducing the repetition in the chart itself but, with my approach, I am writing EXACTLY what is being played so repetition is often not exact so, unless it is identical, I don't use repeats/sines/Codas etc. Sometimes I do, if the repeats are exactly the same but, with Jazz tunes, this is rarely the case. As for notes, key signatures can be as much as a hindrance as a help when there are loads of chromatic phrases and changing keys. I just got out of the habit of alloting key signatures. It's something I need to think about more carefully.

Duff's intro bass part on Sweet Child Of Mine. Loads on that. Everything Type O Negative ever did. I swear Pete Steel played Chorus as the instrument and just used a bass to do it. It's a funny effect. Used badly and it just makes everything sound like crap Jaco or generic rock from 1985.

This thread reminded me of my own garage conversion project last year. I struggled with that same hollow echo until I tried the acoustic slat wood wall panels from Decor & Decor. I started with just a few samples in walnut on the long wall and was amazed at how much it cut down on the noise and even made the room feel a bit cozier. Once I saw the difference, I added matching panels on the opposite side and it really transformed the space into a liveable studio, and it helped keep the room warmer, too. If you’re after a straightforward solution that looks great and works well, those panels might be worth a try

Welcome CF. -
I like a lot of their pedals. Never had any trouble with them. I had that amp too, no problems for me but I didn't like the Tube Tone drive sound. Was neither tube sounding or more modern and it needed a completely different EQ setting for the drive being on or off. I liked the concept though. It just needed doing properly!

Competition prize! Nice. I never win anything! Just a tip though - It's a "Sterling" with an E. I'm not being spelling police it's just that if someone is using the forum search function to see if there is one on sale the incorrect spelling might not show your post in the search results. I know this from experience - I once got a set of very expensive Lollar pickups on ebay for about a third of their value and I suspect the wrong spelling of the item helped hide it from other bidders - I was the only bidder.
