I've cone across this video and love the bass sound starting @ 1:20 mins.Particularly when Homer plays the scale.Any ideas what settings they are etc. Sounds like Flatwound and pick. https://youtu.be/YPhO5g39vpg

[quote name='BigRedX' timestamp='1467126081' post='3081344'] Being US-made it will require an Imperial sized key. Best therefore to get a set of 10 metric and 10 Imperial allen keys. Still only about £10 and you'll never need to buy another allen key in your life. [/quote] This. I got my for about £4.99 from Machine Mart

Machine Mart. It even has the size for badass II. Good price for a set.much cheaper than b and q.

[quote name='anzoid' timestamp='1464358288' post='3058834'] Not exactly sure how to title this or if I've even got the right part of the forum, I have searched but I don't even really know exactly what terms I'm looking for, anyway, here goes... I want to be able to play along to MP3s on my computer with my bass plugged into said computer and listen either through headphones or a pair of speakers. I doubt I'll ever do any recording though that is a possibility. This is mainly for learning stuff and when I have to be doing so quietly and can't move my bass rig to where my computer is. I've been looking at various USB powered audo interfaces but the info I can't find is whether I can, basically, play along to the song I'm listening to and have my bass come out the same speakers. Pretty limited budget for purchases - max about £40 (just bought an MTD KZ5 and then got asked by a friend to play on something he's working on which I need to learn...) On my very short short-list are the Behringer 302USB Xenyx 5 Input Mixer and ALESIS Core 1 USB Audio Interface - sound quality isn't a huge issue... would be nice for it be halfway decent though. Any help and advice greatly appreciated. [/quote] I use Scarlet Focusrite 2i2. But I like the amp sound recorded via a mic not the di sound. It came with Ableton live lite daw.

With your avi don't expect replies. On a serious note. Have you tried you tube?

[quote name='dincz' timestamp='1291918470' post='1053151'] Maybe a bit too weird for export. Apparently it's a Jolana Disco Bass. [/quote] You're correct.Was my first bass. Awful pups.

I have one of these. I modified the shape of it though.Thinking of re modifying it again :-)

.

I use Focusrite scarlett too and a single SM57 mic 1 foot from the centre of the speaker. Check out my you tube videos.

Ordered comfortstrapp strap yesterday.Arrived in less than 24 hours.Looks good but unsure about it's quality.Will updated once tested.

https://uk.pinterest.com/explore/guitar-storage/ Since I somehow managed to end up with 7 guitars, I Know it's not enough by basschaters norm, I need storage. I considered a rack. But to me it looks untidy and guitars gets covered in dust.So I found some good ideas on pinterest.I particularly like the ikea cabinet. Can you contribute to this thread with ideas to help each other out.Also how do you store your cables?

Thanks all for your replies. Financially I'll stick with SM57. I managed to get good results. As per my You Tube video 😉

[quote name='woodenshirt' timestamp='1464720676' post='3061877'] My opinion, for what it's worth (not really a Maiden fan, I play with a pick etc. etc.) It sounds good to me. Playing seems pretty spot on and if you're trying to achieve the Harris live sound, your close.... plenty of clankiness (wasn't the studio sound a bit more rounded.... compressed?) I take it that you are using big fat roundwound strings (preferably Rotosound SH signature). Nice one mate, Mart [/quote] Cheers Just learning how to use compression.I didn't want to kill the sound so left it raw as it came out the amp. The strings are Flatwound SH Sig rotosound. The sound and video is not quite sync.but good enough for me.

[quote name='SubsonicSimpleton' timestamp='1464625960' post='3060939'] Maybe you need to ask yourself what you are trying to achieve with your videos - it's difficult to give good constructive criticism without knowing what you are trying to achieve, e.g. a good performance video of you rocking out would have different criteria to a more educational playalong aimed at showing viewers clearly how to play the song in question. [/quote] Achieve nothing. Perhaps criticism on sound as in does it need better mix compression etc

[quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1464623544' post='3060902'] This article might help; it talks about compression and a whole lot more: http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep12/articles/mixing-bass.htm [/quote] Cheers.lots of good info

Can anyone advice How to correctly use compression on bass during mixing.Thanks

[quote name='lowdown' timestamp='1464344713' post='3058613'] Although for W10, there is a thread running for movie editors. If you check the specs on the suggestions, I am sure there will be stuff for W7. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285632-video-editing-in-windows-10/ [/quote] Thank you

Can anyone suggest a good movie maker/editor for windows 7. I've got the standard pre installed live movie maker. Is it sufficient to start making my own videos, you tube videos or is there anything better. Thank you P

[quote name='AndrewJordan' timestamp='1462910372' post='3046936'] Listened to a track you've been covering for years and realised you've been playing it wrong? [/quote] Sometimes. Luckily there are isolated tracks on you tube channel.:-)

I've no experience with garage band.Did you make sure you selected the correct input in Garage band ie the same you plugged your bass in.Also on Focusrite interface box you can flick between instrument or line input depending if you use guitar or microphone. Have you tried options menu in garage band and in preferences selected the correct audio. I once phoned focusrite tech and they were helpfull.

[quote name='Gottastopbuyinggear' timestamp='1459513117' post='3017286'] Having thought about doing a 2x10 build for a little while, but being a novice at this sort of thing, I've decided to have a go instead at the basschat 1x12 (or hopefully something very much like it - I'm building in advance of the full write up, and my DIY skills aren't always the best!). There's a few reasons for going 1x12 for a first build but most importantly it's the opportunity to build the thing that I've been reading about for some time, and the fact that it seems to be pretty well received by the (albeit relatively limited?) audience that's heard it so far. I've bought enough materials to build two cabs, although only ordered a single driver so far, since the cost of the driver itself is the best part of half the cost of the cab. I plan to build both cabs and once I'm sure that I'm happy with the sound I'll order the second driver. I got the ply from Avon Plywood in Bristol, and they've cut it (very accurately) to size. I've gone for 18mm Poplar, so it wasn't cheap - just a shade under £60 +VAT for the full sheet, so a total of about £82 including VAT and cutting. The small cutting cost seems like an absolute bargain to me - I don't have a circular saw, and I didn't fancy using a router to square every edge. I'm not sure whether to reinforce every joint with a batten, but I've cut enough to enable me to do so. Raw materials so far, including template for routing the baffle: [URL=http://s1172.photobucket.com/user/andrewjdowden/media/1x12%20Build/IMG_0442_zpsctww53in.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r573/andrewjdowden/1x12%20Build/IMG_0442_zpsctww53in.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1172.photobucket.com/user/andrewjdowden/media/1x12%20Build/IMG_0447_zpsfv93bgxe.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r573/andrewjdowden/1x12%20Build/IMG_0447_zpsfv93bgxe.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [/quote] The final product looks of a higher quality than some Chinese makes.Where did you get the dimensions from and would you share it?

I was going to start a similar thread but hope you don't mind nipping in. I got myself a lovely sounding accoustic guitar last weekend and recorded it with shure Sm57.Very good result. The mic was on axis pointing at the guitar opening hole about 20 cm away. I since watched many you tube videos on recording accoustic. Here is one of them https://youtu.be/F-_xkBoAuJw I also look for amother reasonably priced mic for recording accoustic.

Thanks for advice gents
