Standard E and Standard Eb in the Same Set? - How Would You Do It?
paul_5 replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
Personally I’d either go for a four string with an octave pedal or a pitch shift pedal to drop everything a semitone - unless it was a studio gig. -
I’ve got one for my 17 year old iPad- plugs into the headphone jack then plug your bass and headphones into the adaptor and run your software (I use GarageBand on there) - useful practice tool. Mine doesn’t ‘shake’ though!

For me, Ric necks should ideally follow the radius and dimensions of Jazz bass necks. I love everything about the sound of Rics, I just find them too skinny!

Popped my flats back on my p bass (augmented with a mud bucker a la Billy Sheehan) today - got a gig coming up that needs a more ‘vintage’ vibe - and the amount of low end through the ‘bucker is IMMENSE!! Such a huge difference from my usual rounds!!

Dunno, technically it’s not allowed, but it could be argued that it’s essential; have you ever used an unshielded fuzz pedal? I don’t recommend it!

You're thinking of 'Squirt-it'...

Speed Is The Key - The Sugarcubes

Generally a lower action helps, as does sliding into the note slightly.

Just as a side note - any compressor will add noise to your signal.

When I first started playing fretless I used open strings wherever possible so that I could use it as a reference pitch to determine whether I was in tune or not. As I got more experienced I substituted the open strings for fingered notes for consistency of tone, but it's an exercise that served me well.
