    Getting a Good Tone with my Sansamp BDDI

    in Bass Guitars

    How are we doing on your tone? Sounds like dead strings and neck joint shenanigans are causing a fundamental problem with your tone. This unit should produce a good clean tone and potentially overdrive grit but more distorted tone's been hijacked by Dark Glass and this won't replicate that sound. Good advice previously to go flat and play in context bringing the tone shaping. Pretty confident good things will happen....

    RIP Vangelis

    Oh dear...

     

    Very musical... and a partner to our Chris Squire led musical chums Yes... and Jon Anderson's solo excursions...

     

    Also, dare I say it, the silent collaborator on aforementioned singer's solo album, 'Olias of Sunhillow'

    Multi-scale basses

    Interesting point Lfalex (whatever your latest version is). Ibanez in particular have experimented with different fanned fret loci as you can choose where to to align the multi-scales against each other, as well as how severe you make the fan, i.e. 35, 36 or 37" on the 'B' and 34, 33 or 32" on the 'G'. Not seen a reverse 'long-low, short-high' design but I'm sure someone's done it.

    So Anderton's latest bass vid got me thinking - are multi-scales set to become the norm or will 'uni-scale' basses remain the default? I suspect the latter but this trio still look, and sound, very intriguing.

     

    Which did you think sounded the best? They all had their moments but the Dingwall maybe?

    The best one I’ve been to was in Manchester about 15 years ago. It was held in a music venue, and was more performance orientated with just a few stands from manufacturers and distributors.

     

    I remember Jonas Hellborg being there, along with Janek Gwizdala and Yolanda Charles.

    Yes, me too. Although a different year. Billy Sheehan and Victor Bailey were there. Victor was phenomenal and Billy was super nice - although I think worryingly he's got hearing problems Shuker and Goodfellow were there too. Both wonderful. Overwater had a great stand too.

    Agree with comments above. Here's my pic from this am. This is it - well Ibanez off to the left out of shot. 

     

    Long stand on the right was Bass Direct who had a good stand with Mr Dingwall on it too.

     

    I've been to the Manchester shows of old and one in London and they've been great.

     

    This was very disappointing and disingenuous of the organisers really. I accept lockdown hasn't helped
    but simply adding it to a drum show as if this added to attraction was a bad move.

    Those new pickups sounded the best of the lot there for me, I like that BTB.

    The sixer? Yes me too. Hope the 17mm string spacing is not too tight. Hoping to have a go at the imminent Bass (and now, electric and acoustic guitar) Show.
