How many drum machines do you have ?
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE's topic in Other Instruments
My first drum machine was a korg KPR-77, later I upgraded to a Yamaha RX-21, then an RX-11 with an RX-21L (Latin) This was in the 80s/early 90s and the hardware machines are now long gone. Now I only use the drummers included with Logic Pro X -

I've swapped several compressors and dirt pedals on and off my board, and I'm finally happy with the pairing of the BC-1X and BB-1X. I particularly like that the LED metering on the BC-1X makes it very easy to set up.

To get a feel of what a short scale such as a mustang might be like to play, tune your bass down two semitones and put a capo on the second fret. I play mustangs (currently own five) they're my favourite bass, especially the JMJ roadworn. The orange vintera II looks rather tasty and I have one of the orange squier classic vibes which is a very nice cheaper option.

How do you change your bass strings?
Jean-Luc Pickguard replied to madshadows's topic in General Discussion
I use flats so I probably do it differently each time — I can't remember. When I get a new bass though, I usually take all the strings off and treat the fingerboard as appropriate before putting on a set of flats. Am I the only person who makes sure a bass is spotlessly clean when selling it? -
Depends on the magnets in the pickup: Black for alnico, cream for ceramic
