[quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1491815068' post='3275479'] Quite surprised no one has mentioned strings yet. Do you have rounds or flats on there? Flats would make it less bright [/quote] This. Although if you want to play about with the capacitor on the tone knob then I think the standard is a 0.047µf and a 250kΩ pot. If you swap it for a .1µf then you'll drop the cut off frequency. As a rule of thumb, larger capacitor values send more of the treble to ground (making it disappear from the output signal). Have a play about. It's a much cheaper option to buying a set of flats - capacitors can be had for pence.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1441714003' post='2861075'] Why not add the reverb post production.. Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick? [/quote] I tend to have a couple of reverb busses on the mixer and have a master guitar bus with a high quality 'verb on it; it's more to do with amp modelling and effects.

I've seen worse. It's got a 'Westone' vibe to it, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

When I was at music college I almost bought a Wal fretless for £700. Ah well...

Proco Rat. Nice.

I play in a metal band, so rehearsals and gigs are fretted but only so that I can get the clacky 'metal on metal' sound. Playing everything else (depping, home practice, writing and recording) is a job for the fretless. I just prefer the sound of the fretless and the amount of expression available is vastly superior to fretted basses (in my opinion).

Have we had the ubiquitous Behringer BDI-21 yet?

I'd do it, but then again I've got some [i]really[/i] good shoes to look at

DHA VT1 EQ for me. Squier VM fretless Jazz with Dunlop flat 45s into the VT1 - lovely sound with just a hint of breakup. The trick is to balance the 'input' and 'gain' controls with each other.

Could buy a DHA VT1 EQ for half of that!

Ampeg SVT-iiP preamp off the bay for £200. Makes me consider moving my DHA on, which was unthinkable for the last few years. It's awesome!

Alas, 'twas sold 😞

I've just messaged him. You never know.

Ya Mama by Pharcyde. Funny as you like!

Refer yourself to a Physiotherapist. It's not cheap, but it saved my bass playing. Years of poor technique resulted in chronic posture problems which manifested themselves in my fretting hand thumb. Got it sorted, changed my playing position and it's never been back.

Dunlop 45 to 105 flats on my fretless Jazz. Love it.
