low note lee

I'm looking a getting a whammy pedal, so what (apart from the rare and expensive Bass Whammy) can you recommend?

[quote name='Higgie' post='54871' date='Sep 4 2007, 03:26 AM']Tracking is how accurately the pedal "tracks" the note that you play in order to reproduce it. For example a pedal with poor tracking would warble on the octave'd note, or take a little bit of time to kick in, and a pedal with good tracking would accurately reproduce the note an octave higher/lower without the short delay.[/quote]

Gotcha. Cheers

What colour are you going to refinish the squier jazz?[/quote]
None

I was planning on covering it with cartoons. At the moment, I'm thinking Astro Boy. I might make a thread here asking what to do, though.

Aluminium, I think...
It's some kind of metal

'75 Mustang, '06 Fender Highway1 Jazz, '05 Squier California Jazz

top to bottom; 1975 Fender Mustang Bass, January 2006 Fender Highway1 Jazz Bass (it was originally Satin Lacquer, i've just worn the finish down a bit), 2005 Squier California Jazz Bass (originally black; I'm in the process of re-finishing it).



The Mustang isn't strictly mine, but my dad never plays it. It's always in my room, so I say it's in my posession

Fender Jazz Bass; I bought a black control plate from ebay, and I want to make a transparent scratch plate to show off the finish underneath it. I'll be getting a Badass II bridge sometime soon.

Squier Jazz Bass; I need to get a new neck and tuner set for it, as they are of typical Squier quality; shithouse. The tuners buzz, and the truss rod is buggered. I'm looking at a Warmoth Maple neck for it, but I won't buy that for a while. I'll end up replacing the whole thing over time.

I play through a Genz Benz M-Line 200W combo box with 2x10" speakers. I have 2x12" JBLs sitting around, but the cab is stuffed, so I can't use them. I'll probably need to just make a new cab rather than stuff around with the current POS i have.

The Genz Benz isn't bad, but I sorely want an Ampeg system. The 4 figure price tag puts me off, though

Hope you like my stuff

nice

i have a bit of a soft spot for Thunderbirds. A mate of mine has one in white (just as his idol, Twiggy Ramirez, does). Not as good as my Fender JBass, but not bad all the same.

Nice collection!

Is that squier any good? It looks nice!

A P bass might be a little easier to slap than a J bass because of the wider nut. The string separation at the bridge isn't any different, but the angle they go to the nut is different.

Have a play of one and see how you go

Higher Ground - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hush - Tool (it sounds awesome slapped)
Take The Power Back - Rage Against The Machine

f***yeah

What do you mean by tracking? It's a term I haven't heard before.
