Total Watts

  1. I’ve really enjoyed listening to Fink since discovering “Sunday Night Blues Club Vol 1” back in 2017. He’s just released 2 covers, one of Soundgarden’s Black Hole Sun & this…
  2. I’ve currently got just one bass, an Ibanez SR1000 that I bought new in 1990. Other basses have came & went, but this one has always been my “go to”. It’s undergone a number of changes to the hardware & electronics & even been completely stripped down & rebuilt. So just the one bass for me.
  3. Don’t let driver size put you off. Have a look at PJB combos & also the smaller Markbass combos. Though for in the house, I use my preamp into my studio monitors & for gigs it’s my preamp into a PA cab.
  4. How about a little Jazz/RnB. Probably my fave genre at the mo just for the fantastic & fun to play basslines!
  5. I’m hoping the OP hasn’t died. They’ve not followed up on here.
  6. Sorry, I’m missing this one too. ☹️
  7. I used to do something similar using a Moog Bass Murf.
  8. God told them?
  9. & here’s me just about to start with the pan pipes & penny whistle.
  10. Worship songs is one of the things I sure don’t miss since deconstruction. 😇
  11. Just learn the chords G, C, D & Em. Then put a capo on to suit. you might find most of the time you won’t even need all those chords.
  12. ‘Tis what I do. At home, if not going through laptop, I go straight from my preamp to a studio monitor (or as a portable practice rig). With a band, I replace the monitor with an active PA cab.
  13. I’ve had 3 different sets of Flatwound strings on my Ibby. First was a set of TI Jazz flats. Great strings, but the D string snapped after about 2 1/2 years. I replaced them with a D’addario Chromes. They were on my bass for 10 years & but not changed them for the sake of a change. I now have Rotosound 77 flats & they're still a little bright & zingy for my liking (almost roundwound sounding), so I’m hoping that they wear in, or I’ll go back to the Chromes. Each set does sound very different & so far I’ve liked the Chromes the most. But the TI Jazz were very good too.

    Maschine

    There’s not much menu diving on the Maschine when using it with the software. Once you load up your sounds/samples/loops the majority of what you need is on the front panel. Most of my time has been spent playing with the expansions that I have (I got a load with Komplete a couple of years ago & then another 10 of my choosing when I got the Mikro). But my plan is to make my own sounds & samples to use in it. It’s a lot of fun playing chords on the pads with my left hand & doing lead or bass on the Roli Rise with my right hand. Yes, I could play chords on the synth. But I can set the Mikro to play extended chords with a bass note, which is otherwise impossible with one hand. 🙂
