  10. kiat
    Is there a master thread where we can list the artists or songs that we want to emulate the tone for and players can reply if they've managed it and how they've done it with effects etc?

    Whether it's single or double action. Hold a spanner pointing to the left and then rotate it 180 degrees clockwise. Return it to the left and rotate it 180 degrees anticlockwise. What are the two finishing positions?

    I didn’t know Thom Yorke played the bass until I saw The Smile on Tiny Desk Concert.
  15. bass_dinger started following What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...
  16. bass_dinger
    People who wear their basses low, and thus, have to bend the wrists on their fretting hands at a sharp angle. My prejudice is that they therefore cannot play well - and certainly not with dexterity and finesse. Yet I see such players on videos, in huge bands, and they seem to be managing OK. Maybe my prejudice is irrational... Also, I don't understand how mathematicians calculate Pi and assume that it is all smoke and mirrors. I have an irrational prejudice about an irrational number....

    Dunno about that, some people will complain about anything! Obviously, I prefer playing the bigger, better gigs but I'm perfectly happy to play bars as well. Sometimes the bad gigs can be fun in a perverse way and provide you with the best stories!

    Hey, everybody. My name’s Otis. I currently live in Indiana in the United States. I’ve played guitar since I was 13. I’m 50 now. Really gotten into bass in the last decade. I have five bass guitars. Here they are in the order I got them: Douglas WVEB violin bass SX Ursa 1 w/ Fender American Pro II neck and SD Quarter Pound pickups G&L L2000 Tribute Fender American Professional II Precision Danelectro Longhorn

    If my band was still playing bar gigs regularly it would be tough on me. Over here the bar/pub band scene is also dieing at a rapid place. We probably don't gig as much as we use to. However the gigs we do are premium, and fun to do. I really think it's those bad gigs that cause guys to stop. I never hear complaints about the good gigs. Daryl

    Very true. I recognized him immediately. He's not just technically gifted, he's highly musical.

    They don’t. Try what @Stub Mandrel says above all will become clear - this is just a phase. All of this will be second nature in the very near future - I promise that No one is born able to play bass guitar just like no one is able to drive instantly

  27. jd56hawk
    I've heard that the rubber ones last for 3 to 6 months. Sounds about right.

    Pair of Aguilar DB112 bass cabs in Chocolate Thunder (1x12 inch speaker with tweeter, rated 300w RMS at 8ohms). Incredible, meaty little cabs. They've been my main backline for over a decade but I've recently switched up my rig and these bad beauties need to go. They do show some signs of use (rusty metal corners, some tolex scratches, scuffs, little rips etc) but are functionally excellent. Some of the best cabs I've had the pleasure of using. £700 for the pair or £400 each. £600 for the pair or £350 each Collection from Pembrokeshire, can meet halfway or can deliver in-person for petrol money.

  32. ordep started following AMT A Bass Tube preamp £90 Posted
  33. ordep
    Selling this very nice tube preamp from the guys at AMT. based on the highly regarded Alembic tube pre, add warmth and tube “body” while taking up a very small pedalboard space. check here: https://amtelectronics.com/new/amt-a-bass/ note: needs 12V and at least 300mah pics here Seriously speaking for the price I am asking it is the cheapest Tube preamp you can get atm. Selling for £90 posted within mainland UK. can be collected from Aylesbury

    You are lifting off far too slowly. You need to be more positive. The finger position makes it worse. Any bass would buzz lifting the string slowly like that. I just tried three different basses - roundwounds, flatwounds and nylon tapewounds. I could get all three to buzz far worse than that by lifting slowly, and to sound cleanly with a positive lift. So sorry, it's 100% technique - keep practicing.
