  1. Sorry if this has already been answered or if this is in the wrong place.

    I'm using rounds a lot more now but I have a bass that's ad flats on it for about a year now and I wanna put some rounds on it. So if I wanted to re-use some flats at a later date… what would be a good storage method?

    Could I just use the package the new strings came in?
    Are there any corrosion risks, or damage risks due to being under different tension while in storage?

  2. I've been looking at those little 500 series racks for home recording etc.

    I figured a couple of compressor modules (1176/LA-2A vibe), nice EQ section (Neve-ish?), nice preamp in there as well, maybe a speaker-sim/DI or whatever; should work pretty well.


    My question is, has anyone ever used one of these in a live situation (ie at a gig)?

    In lieu of an amp, like literally... BASS ---> RACK ---> MIXER

  3. Mind you… if you're using a harsh distortion/fuzz and an overdrive/preamp you could use it one of two ways

    Fuzz first - The preamp/overdrive will make it louder as its boosting the signal after the Fuzz
    Fuzz second - The overdrive will send more signal to the Fuzz causing more saturation

    I favour the latter of the two because I don't crank my distortions all the way up. They're more for colouring my clean sound.

  4. I'd say more harsh distortions should be secondary.

    However if you're using something with a clean blend function, and you use another distortion first I guess that could provide some interesting results.

    eg - ProCo RAT and MXR Bass Overdrive. If you run the RAT before the MXR with the clean control set to half way you'd get half RAT, and half RAT + MXR because its letting some of the pre effect signal through. I bet that'd sound ace!
