ped

This is why I tend to like pedals with a battery option. Often I just want to take one pedal, or add a different pedal before my pedalboard now and again - batteries make this really easy and most will last a very long time. If you get a 9V battery tester you can see how many hours remain so it's fairly safe, and spares are easy to carry.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of you who have supported the site this year—whether by becoming a Supporting Member or purchasing tokens for the marketplace. Your contributions enable us to keep improving the site, reduce our reliance on advertising, and dedicate time to supporting our community. I mention this now because December typically sees a noticeable drop in revenue, and with the challenges many individuals and businesses are facing right now, I’m especially grateful to those of you who continue to renew your subscriptions. Of course, I also deeply appreciate everyone who visits the site, shares their knowledge, and offers support to others. A site like BC is only as valuable as the knowledge contained within the membership. So, thank you once again. I’ll be taking a bit of a BC break over Christmas and New Year, so I want to wish you all a relaxing, joyful time with your friends, family, and instruments 🎸. Cheers, Ped

This. @Bass4real I’m glad you’ve got that off your chest but you might like to consider that we have rules too.

Their loss is our gain, I’m sure…

Obvs I came in late because I couldn’t figure out/be bothered to figure out how to do a count in

I didnt do a video this time but here’s a cool intro track by Jeff Cascaro gettin' started - 13:12:2024, 13.41.mp3

😉Dude 😂

Nice one 👍🏼

Marvel?

That's the one (Gear4Music). I believe it comes in grey, blue, green and beige too.

I’m sure I can find some equivalent threads from 2008ish

I didn't know the basses in the test beforehand but I was able to identify the J, P, MM, Spector, Tbird. I mistook the Rick for a Jazz. I really think the differences are clear. It was definitely easier to recognise them with fresh strings.

Does it accept a 3.5mm input? Asking for a friend

It’s got a dedicated input for me in the top corner

How are you pronouncing Fooger 🤣

Thanks for being a supporting member 👍 Do stick around and help others with your experience

I don’t care, if it sounds good it’s good. I’ve had good and bad versions of each. I really like mechanical things and for that reason the passive setup appeals to me. What the magnets and wires do feels like magic, instead of powered by electricity. Probably makes little sense but nevertheless…

That’s right, I did suggest that the word flange isn’t pronounced ‘flang’ but he was having none of it.

A mate at work is starting to play the bass so I’m lending him some things to play with, including effects. I mentioned a flanger to him the other day and he laughed at my pronunciation which I have always used. I don’t like flangers so haven’t ever seen videos or talked about them before so I guess I haven’t heard it said properly. I say Flanjer sort of, whereas he says Flanger rhyming with Hanger. Tell me he’s wrong so I can throw it in his face tomorrow

What a cool selection of basses, really enjoyed looking through those!

If it’s not a Vigier Passion II then it ought to be!
