Johnny Nash - I can see clearly now

I think I irritate some of my bandmates. I always tap my foot to the music, but not neccessarily on the beat... I also have a tendancy to lock into the snare and hi-hat patterns rather than the bass drum...

I personally prefer no amp - DI straight into the PA. Failing that though, a good transparent amp is second best.

I do pretty much default back to adjusting my strap to approx. sitting height. Every now and then I watch too many videos of Peter Hook or some such and it creeps lower, but a bit of wrist pain brings me back to my senses!

[quote name='FretNoMore' timestamp='1380558145' post='2227059'] Can I ask what you guys use your tremolos for? Music style? Certain songs? [/quote] Still experimenting with mine. I wanted something that could go to the extreme, choppy style, but at the moment I'm mostly using it on a much milder rotary-esque setting (love Led Zep's Heartbreaker bass tone...).

Well, good luck! These are not easy to come by... May be worth looking into the Fishman Fission Bass Powerchord - essentially the same thing but on the market now!

I love my '99 Jazz, but it's build quality is shocking! The newer builds are far better, and (I think) 2012 models onwards have the vintage-style pickups in them that sound awesome.

Comfort and good technique is important if you don't want your hands to be crippled in a few years time. Cool is what you make it...

Old-school singlecut, yeah, cool. Modern style singlecut, hmmm, undecided. This: [quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1380494430' post='2226274'] [/quote] Just...no...

Still prefer this intro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh_9NY56Sxw

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1380450149' post='2225310'] Love my PN-2, goes from gentle swells to fast chop and is a weird turquoise green! Lovely :-D Si [/quote] Agreed. Just started using one and very happy with it!

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1379712297' post='2216186'] What you talking about?.....loads of space up top above the Boss/Prunes Si [/quote] Anyone have a recommendation of a wide, but not very deep pedal?

Update of mine. Latest is the Boss PN-2. Space is pretty well used up, but I still have one power output underneath... hmmm...

[quote name='bakerster135' timestamp='1379601241' post='2214688'] I think Steve Lawson may be doing exactly what you're describing here!

Though I don't think I can afford one of those old Lexicons... Think the discussion here has shown that there are ways of achieving this, but not really anything in one (relatively) compact unit...

Tried that too! Ebow is tricky at best of times, especially on the fly...
