    When i read the thread title i thought this would be almost impossible, but then, this song came to my mind... amazing basslines by JPJ

    Pick vs Fingers - Strap length

    Well, i only play with my fingers, but nowadays i play my basses fairly higher than a few years ago.
    Back then i cared a little more about aesthetical reasons, but now, i only care about how comfortably and how efficiently i can perform.

    This how it works for me:

    I don't get the whole putting a Fender decal on a non Fender bass thing

    I imagine it makes folks feel better about their bass. That's a good thing right?

    Well...i guess so! :P This might be a mather of self confidence, or the lack of it. Somehow the bass player who "rebrands" his instrument belives the small part of the musicians in the audience will perceived him as a better players because of the brand he´s playing. The truth is musicians love instruments and allways look for that. The question is...are we so critical about other players habilities before they even start to play, based on the brands they´re using?
    "hey..that´s a squire ...that guy is a beginer ... or ... the vintage fender... must be a top level pro. :rolleyes:

    Cushioned and non-grippy strap

    I´ve been using a gruv gear solo strap neo (10cm wide).Comfort wise, it does a great job. It distibutes the weight very well and doesn´t have much grip. Before this i was using a planet waves (7.5cm wide) and the gruv gear is much more comfortable, specialy after a couple of hours.
    The dowsides: not cheap, and imo not the best design to adjust on the fly. Plus is a bit bulky.

    I just use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. Use a paintbrush for the bridge to free the dust so the vacuum can do the rest.

    I also use this hi-tech solution :)

    Not at all - the BDI-21 is like a Swiss Army Knife. You can use it to warm up your tone, go DI through the desk if you're amp fails and if you get taken short at a venue with poor facilities you can wipe your arse with it as well.

    Just checked mine. There is the standard amount of resistance in turning the knob that you would expect from any other quality pedal, the same as my other TC pedals. Have you removed the knob to see if the splines inside it are broken?

    I haven`t removed the knob. I tried it but it didn´t came out so i gave up. i was afraid to damage the pot. I belive it´s the issue is with the pot and not the knob itself.

    I just received a B-stock TC Electronic spectracomp from Thomann.
    The thing is, the knob/pot feels very cheap and turns positition with very subtle touch. I compared it to my ditto looper, and the ditto feels way better, and stays in place.and you have to use the right amout of pressure to turn the knob.

    Anyone had this same experience? I`m i beeing picky? Even chepest pedal,( harley benton ultimate drive) knobs feel better tham this one. <_<
    Should i retur it?

    Thanks in advance

    Should I accept this???

    Had a similiar situation a couple of years ago with a guitar i ordered online. As soon as i got it delivered and found the blemishes, i took a few pictures and sent them to the seller. I was proposed to send it back or a discount that pleased me.

    Distortion pedal help

    Well, assuming that you´ll need to get a diferente pedal, and you´re on a budget, i would take a look in to the joyo/harley benton ultimate drive, or the bass big muff pi.

    I would split the signal with an LS2 and dial in the distortion separately with a blend of clean to maintain the lows

    The feedback with hi gain distortion is always going to bite you unless you gate it off
    [/quote]
    That´s a good advice, but In this particular case, and since the pedal used can´t offer a proper distortion, i just can´t see how it woul benefit the overall sound. That would work great if you had a nice sound, but sacrificing the low end.
