[quote name='interpol52' timestamp='1480532956' post='3185199'] Sir Mix a lot - Baby Got Back Have look on youtube! I must admit that when I saw the title 'I like dead flats' that song sprang to mind instantly! [/quote] If you mean my you tube video then i use new strings and various amp settings etc. In order to get as close to SH sound as I can, but when I play my own tracks I prefer the dead flats sound on my other Pb to the blue one or the growly jazz bass. I find the dead flats sut better in my mix.

[quote name='Vinny' timestamp='1480529812' post='3185164'] ...and I cannot lie...etc. Sorry. Extra coat, please, it's very cold out. [/quote] ?

I've had roto SH flatwounds on my PB for over a year. They sound dead but I like the sound especially with little overdrive. They sound good in the mix.

I am always sceptical signing up for anything like this as it's all about receiving newslwtrers etc. Well I gave it a go again.

[quote name='Dad3353' timestamp='1480504926' post='3184856'] Well, technically, reverb is, effectively, a combination of a multitude of 'delays' all superimposed, such as the effect of a cathedral, or large cavern. A single 'delay' is often simply a single repetition, as an echo from a mountain cliff. In practise, they are different effects, which can be used together or individually to great effect (groan...). Do I have any luck with this..? I have, amongst others...) a Fender Bassman 50w, an 'old-school' valve amp. I play guitar through this, into a Fender Bassman 2 x 15 cab (see pic...). To obtain a more fulfilling sound, I play through a Boss Fender Deluxe pedal (in the pedal-board on the right in the photo...), with which I can add delay, reverb and/or overdrive. It sounds fine to me (bear in mind that 1 - I'm 'old-school', and 2 - getting progressively more and more hard of hearing. I've used this same rig for the last 40 years or so, though, so I'm beginning to know how to set it up for my 'style'. If we're talking home practise, that may be a bit too voluminous for some (not for me; I have all the space I need...), but the notion of playing at home into a (quality...) bass amp, with a reasonable pedal or multi-effect, seems fine to me. What's the alternative, if one is really looking for 'that' guitar sound..? A Fender Twin..? At home..? An inexpensive combo would be fine, but the Aguilar rig will do a good job, too, I'd say. [/quote] Very cool rig

Just get yourself a fender mustang I v.2 You won't be disappointed.

If I'm off work I'll go. Never been to one so hoping for goodie bags!

Fender Mustang. Free software, plug into laptop/pc many downloads available.

I treat my strings to a holistic massage with almond oil. If they go dead I take them to an osteopath or chiropractor.

Catastrophic!

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1480209796' post='3182581'] It's ok if your Jimi Hendrix because well your Jimi Hendrix and that's the sound you need, if your playing a couple of Hendrix numbers amongst dozens of artists then you are going to need a couple of distinct sounds imo. In a previous band our front man had a strat for most of the set but he also needed a Gibson for some of the songs, he had a guitar tuned really weird for some killers tracks I think they were and one that was totally detuned a semi tone, the other guitarist just used a strat and a les paul. The guitarist in our trio has a Variax [/quote] Just a polite grammar correction. Your= It belongs to you You're = You are

I haven't had chance to play myself in past months. Babies age and won't be forever. Enjoy whilst you can.

[quote name='D'AddarioUK' timestamp='1480006588' post='3180987'] ProSteels are one of our brightest sounding strings, we make many of our more popular gauges in short and medium scale sets in both steel and nickel plated steel. If you're still interested in trying some nickels from our range our NYXL Bass strings are the brightest nickel plated steel strings we manufacture. [/quote] What d addario strings do you recommend for my jazz bass. I'm after smooth strings that deliver a growly and bright sound. Thanks

I'd say a common sense approach is a good starting point.

Is it set up properly?

Often the bands suck or the town has poor night time economy.

Don't know what the complaint is. Free rehearsal room.
