I use an ms60b for quick recording of ideas. Just plug it into the laptop and off we go.

Wouldn't ever gig with it though, everything but the delays and tremolo effect on it is pretty poor quality. The od and fuzz effects in there are horrible and the amp modelling is a joke.

Get a used market bass pod xt or a pod x3 instead if you want something that does it all.

Me I'll stick to analog stompboxes. Pricey but much more satisfying.

OTOH be it just a little teeny tiny bump.
You selling them all voodoosnake?

Bizarredust. (Bump)

Stainless.

Nice! I tried several types of strings on mine before settling for standard slinkies. Low Riders sound very very good on a lolphin as well.
Not that I care a great deal about strings, I just find it convenient to use the same on all basses. The others were all wearing slinkies already so...

If I'd sell my Ric 4003 stating its a copy, while it isn't ... would I be haunted by mr. hall?
That would be like a copy infringement using real rics. Is that illegal?

Ow never mind.

Compressor comes last unless you got some EHX pedals that can't handle the signal coming from an active bass and start to fart out - then you put the comp in front and lower the signal level going through the rest of your fx chain.

Anyone tried the defretting effect... Is it any good??

Yes... No, Boss do a better job at defretting effects.

Yawn.

The bass playing is what sets metal bands apart (as with any music).
If the bass is off or simply uninspired (played like a guitarplayer would) the band will be boring and crap.

Bass no function in metal? Get informed before spewing out more nonsense.

My amp is an old trace elliot rah600smx, which has two output stages with a lot of options. I have been testing things using a 410 and 115 cabinet. Crossover frequency can be set anywhere between 250hz and 1khz.

Ended up running the amp in dual mono mode and skipping the crossover section completely. Crossed at any freq over the sound was simply horrible.

Todays 2x10 and 4x10 cabs are tuned at what, 40hz? There is no need for using any form of corossover anymore.

You could split the signal and run one pickup through a bass stack and the other through a guitar stack with crunch/overdrive though. That rocks!

I went from a 40kg 4x10 to a 55kg 2x15. Why? The 4x10 had to be lifted into the car. The 2x15 can be tilted into the car without really lifting it. Handles and casters attached. Much better!

My Precision has a fret less.

No bassman344. Apples and oranges.

I play rics, jazzes, precisions, warwicks, ebmm. All are great sounding and playing basses, no issues there.

Each bass model has their unique voice and qualities. Whether you like a certain tone has nothing to do with quality, we call this "personal taste".
For heavy/modern stuff I bring the Warwick or EBMM Sterling which sound pretty hi-fi. For slap I got this Marcus Miller signature active Jazz and for oldskool tone nothing kills the Ric and Precision sounds, of which I use the Ric most as it is capable of more different tones (Precision is a one trick pony really).

If you can't get along with a Ric either your technique is simply poor or you bought the wrong instrument for your personal taste.
Simply blaming the instrument is rather foolish.

Others before you got great results playing their Ric, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Justin Chancellor, Trevor Bolder, Geezer Butler, Cliff Burton, Roger Glover, Glenn Hughes, Paul McCartney to name a few.

UK based sellers are somehow always more hesitant to ship outside the UK... I have always wondered why.
I sent instruments from NLD all around the globe see, never any problem.

So how come?

Don't let anyone tell you what is good for rock and what is not.
Anyone who attempts to is clearly more of an asshole then he will ever be a musician.

Haven't clicked the link but you must be talking about Marta. I like her vids because you can see she's having a good time playing bass. To me that is a lot better then most of those showoff hey-I-can-play-like-wooten vids out there.

Money. It brings out the worst in people.

Guitar players.

Ow I'm fine! Thanks for asking buddy.
Here's some eyecandy....

Any reason to buy a bass is a good reason, within reason of course.

Hello Basschat btw. It's been quite some time.

My Dolphin Pro1 is getting a custom truss rod, just got a call the materials for constructing one are on their way.
The original removable two way aluminium truss rod does work but not good enough. Replacing it with a one way rod that has more strength and range.

That '84 is in AMAZING condition man. Nice!

Update.

The fretless still hasn't happened yet due to err well... Stuff.
Ric has been getting the extra shielding which destroyed any humming going on.
Warwick Dolphin 5 is at the doctors getting a custom made truss rod.

Oh and I did get some extra basses in the shape of a new Nate Mendel sig Fender P and a 1998 EBMM Sterling bass. It kills.

Here's some pics

Darkglass B3K. Kills any other dirtbox period.

I have one of those. Great, punchy & powerful sounding bass!
