All Activity

Cheers! So far, so good. Yesterday was just the core band. Today we were joined by our BV ladies, and tomorrow the brass lads will be joining us. We're having to do all the rehearsals without lead vox as out guests won't be arriving until later in the week so there's always that worry that we'll need to change keys. Hopefully not... Bass-wise, I'm sticking to the two J's. They're doing everything I need. As for guests -as ever, it's top secret but I can say that Matty Healy from The 1975 will be making an appearance...

What's the fingerboard material?

I think I had the first buckeye, 5-string, 26 fret Sei singlecut, and I think I've inspired a few purchases over the years, including from other makers like Shuker. It's nearly 23 years old at this point, and still a stunner!

I’d move the list into a proper bulk‑send tool so you get templates, scheduling, and tracking. It handles signups, avoids spam issues, and saves loads of time once it’s set up

That's my experience when doing this comparison

Woodstock Audio are giving away a Compressor plugin that offers visual feedback of what it is doing to your signal. A useful way to learn about compression as well as having a graphical representation over and above a set of level indications. No account or serial needed. https://woodstockaudio.com/products/waveform-compressor

I have 4 I’ve owned for 10+ you focus on the revolving door of 5+ too much 😉

+1 for this. When I had to learn it I got the gist of it and then used various bits and bobs from some of the live renditions and isolated bass tracks on youtube to fill it out and keep it bubbling along. You can really go to town with it!

I couldn’t play with any kind of rings on any of the fingers on my left hand. Fortunately I’m not married so wouldn’t have to try to explain removing a wedding ring to play my bass.

… well I’ve tried it and it’ll knock off the Grizzly Bass on my fretted board for the moment. Not compared it to anything else, but like what I hear and how it makes the bass feel under the fingers. I actually don’t like that much cab sim applied (takes off too much high end), and like a bit of grit to the sound when mild gain applied. With the comp I’ve tried it with (Greer Lamplighter Optical comp) I think I actually prefer it with minimal or nil compression. Got other compressors to try with it though. Will be interesting to compare it to the Slampegg and Beta Mk 2 at some point (and the TC Spark and Mojo Mojo for less expensive variants!). Glad I bought it thankfully 👍🏻

You’re welcome John, Much obliged to you for your super prompt payment. Glad the pedal arrived safely. All the best.

😱 there is no such bass. You lie like a “friend” of an ex-ambassador

That’s a bass I’ve owned for 10+ years 😉

I like my Two Notes "Le Bass". Does the lot. One way or another. 2 separate channels of distortion; a really fast one with what seems like a passive tone stack, and a more comprehensive one which has a mid-sweep and mid control. You can have bypass. A, B, A/B parallel and A+B series with an added balance control. Still doesn't best the Ampeg SVP-PRO. If only its drive were switchable....

haha, that was my 1st thought too!!😁

For five minutes or so @AndyTravis … oh - you mean the ring 🤦‍♂️

I’ve never really given it any thought. It’s just there…
