All Activity

Plenty of mids for 'the nose' and just knock some treble off. Remember that the listening public and band mates will generally say, "It sounds like a bass."

Doesn't sound like a P though?

Guys remember that Purafied audio is giving their everything bundle for £2 That's 7 high quality plugins. The bundle includes: - A guitar amp - A nice reverb modeling every room of Panda Studios - 2 compressors: A moded Distressor and a moded 1176 (all 3 versions) and LA-3A - An EQ based on half SSL and half API - A snare sample trigger - A limiter modeled after the famous Micro Limiter https://purafied.com/products/the-everything-bundle

My savile row suits fit perfectly, no belt needed, I don't know what the issue is.

Well that’s essentially what the cab sims do generally, a high cut. I’d just remove that from your chain, you don’t need it and it generally wouldn’t be something I’d be including for anything but my in ear mix.

I have a left field suggestion for you, Mark... Having recently bought one, how about Leo's follow up to the Precision? A Stingray 5 would seem to fit the bill, either in single H or HH form. String spacing [although too narrow for some] on the Stingray 5 is 17.5mm. Makes it feel lithe and fast under the fingers, and definitely has the punch you're after.

Yes, the first fret on a chapman style instrument would be the zero fret, as you can't tap an open string.

I've had one,fine bass. If you're after a 5 string P bass with the same spacing (16.5mm) that might not happen unless you commission a build. My previous suggestion is all I have at the moment.

The normal (ie non-fanned) nut essentially negates the whole idea of multiscale? I'm wondering if the dark grey thing is not a nut but a string guide and the first, fanned fret is a zero fret, then it's all good....I'm confused 🙂 (if you zoom in you can see the cut slots for the strings on the "nut" )

Following this with interest.....

Where the Slime Live - Morbid Angel

The singer in one of my bands doesn't drive. She gets the bus to my house and we go together, and I drop her at her place afterwards. I usually give the drummer a lift when I'm playing on another band. He's local, gets me gigs and is very good so that's OK by me. In another band, we only gig in London so the keys player gets an Uber to the gig and I give him a lift (about 2 miles) home after. Everyone else drives.

Not many of my trousers have carriers for wearing a belt. I rely on their elasticity; it can be embarrassing if this starts to fail whilst I'm carrying something in both arms, for instance.

I always say the my Nana told me never to trust a man who doesn't wear a belt. It's not true but it sounds cool. How anyone can go belt-less is beyond me.

Well after all that fuss and bother I plugged it in and……. …….it sounds AMAZING. Like really really really good. The new stainless strings give it a lot of - well everything, and coupled with the “vintage” style pickup and electronics with a 1f capacitor to make it a bit darker (apparently) it absolutely kicks ass. Way better than my Fender (which had older strings on so not a fair comparison). It almost sounds like an active bass it just punches through in every frequency and connected up to my GK 400rb and gk 2x10 cab it just slams like crazy, proper low end growl and really clear top end too. Honestly I’m amazed by it!!

Don't say that!! I'm just about to try to sell mine with flight case as it sits on the floor in the study/studio and I have other options to use for recording (also I quite fancy, and selling might go a way towards funding, a Darkglass Anagram)

What might be the benefit of a wound third?
