I do apologise for the essentially explicit thread duplication....

[quote name='Tuco' timestamp='1441387247' post='2858578'] Yup, I got the ring mod next.. then the freqbox.. then the MP 201 [/quote] How's the freqbox for you? I'd love to see how it interacts with the LPF and what is possible. If it's funky I'm gettin one

The Sterling 5's have the exact same pickup and electronics of the Stingray 5's that came before them = solid fuk'n bass tone. Stingray 5's now have actual Stingray electronics (pretty much)

Sterling 5, aye. They only came into existence relatively recently

[quote name='operative451' timestamp='1441367586' post='2858300'] That is awesome... [/quote] Pornosonic? It shouldn't be legal

I'm looking at freqboxs now. And ring-mods. Dammit Moog.

Vine is good. An example, we shared this vine video on facebook with the caption "[color=#141823][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Whilst mixing one of our scarier songs I became increasingly paranoid that my Chinese calendar in Spanish was putting me off and perhaps out to get me... "[/font][/color] https://vine.co/v/M5KxUehnBYW Got a few laughs.

I agree with you on the Qtron and DOD there. I've just got my hands on the Moog LPF which is phenomenal - funkiest I've experienced by a long shot. I think it is often overlooked because it's marketed as a 'synth module with endless capabilities when connected via CV to other moogerfoogers and control voltage equipment'. Forget that, it's FUNK in a cool box It ain't cheap, but it ain't Mu-tron money either.

I bought a Moog Low Pass Filter last week - this thing is ludicrous. I've owned all sorts of envelope filters and this one is the king. It is so warm, thick and squelchy, but it can do theremin and laser gun sounds. Couldn't recommend it enough. Getting an expression pedal today!

Good info, thanks for that

The same sound here - this guy is ridiculous! Just a wah and a phat fuzz? Microsynth? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZCE4W-J080

Thanks for the advice chaps, will let you know what happens!

[quote name='TheRev' timestamp='1430762458' post='2764381'] Sounds great to me... The beauty of double bass is that you can keep it simple and still sound interesting. Don't try to rush things, allow your sound to develop in its own time and with the sound of your band. If you had fun playing the gig then you're doing everything right. [/quote] Thanks for this nugget of advice. I think my sound is already progressing from when we did that first gig... something must be right if I haven't touched my Sterling in weeks!

Hello experts My bass, a gear4music, beat up piece of crap plays and sounds great. I've got the innovation psychoslaps fitted which are a godsend. The only problem is, as it is such a cheap bass, the fingerboard seems to be made of a light wood (can't tell what exactly) with some kind of black finish on it. There are a couple of dings in the fingerboard, revealing the wood. These psychoslaps are white, nylon, with a low tension. Since I've been learning to slap, the undersides of the strings are getting coated in this black finish - some of it going all around the string. It rubs off when I'm playing, and feels horrible. I'm pretty sure this isn't just gunk, I think the slapping is just not what the finish is designed to cope with. So I'm considering just removing the finish. Just a little sandpaper should do it... am I mad? any pearls of wisdom or insults would be appreciated Cheers Z

Thanks guys. We'll be playing at The Hobbit in Southampton next weekend, if I don't have to work - let's see how the 2nd gig goes!

I used to own 3 musicman bongo basses (why, I don't know) - they were phenomenal instruments. A bit ridiculous, stupidly hi-tech, pristine sounding and in mint condition. Then when I started renting my own flat, I had to sell them to live. It was torture.. I got a nice lump sum once they had all sold, had no bass for about a year. THAT was torture. I had managed to save around £400 over the year, and spent it on the cheapest, most beaten up MusicMan I could find, which was a 1993 Sterling. Never looked back, it is my only bass, and got me through a tough time. It's a keeper for sure...I can't imagine owning anything better!

I'll change it to public It's fun to use the bare minimum drum set up. I think his snare and my bass gel nicely together. We are definitely going to get some more gigs, I'm excited to see where we can take this kind of thing!

Thanks! That's the kind of encouragement I need I can't even remember learning bass guitar, it's just second nature now - it's weird learning something new. I think practising with the band is the way to improve - you can really hear what works / doesn't work and you're forced to relax into it and play for longer. Forced to relax...hmmm.

I've been tinkering on the DB for a while now, always found it impossible to play for any length of time or achieve a desirable sound. Must be a technique thing :/ We had our first ever gig , last tuesday. Something clicked - breezed through the set, sounded pretty good, never wanted to stop. Have a look / listen - is there anything I can focus on to possibly have another revelation? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XCARY7xMrQ[/media]
