In the first post you had it tracking with no perceived latency, then in the next you'd conceded that blending in your dry signal glossed over the latency, but you still found it to be very consistent, then finally you've said it misbehaves occasionally. Glad I didn't rush out and buy an RME interface...

If I've still got to use it for something then no, but if I'm done playing and the person is behaving like an adult then yes.

When you go stand in front of a decent sound system, what else is going to impress you but the frequencies that are making your drink wobble, not to mention your insides.

Stick on a Boss OC-2 with the -1 Oct and Guitar signals dimed and play what you were originally playing up an octave. There is basically no problem that cannot be solved by the application of a Boss OC-2.

I've never had a bass I'd never sell. I got a '91 Thumb on eBay a few years back for about £600. That was the bass I'd always wanted, and I played them a lot in shops in '91 when I was a beginner. I sold it last year. It was an amazing bass, played like nothing else, sounded like nothing else, but ultimately it was just a piece of wood. The two bass guitars I have now are basses I've assembled myself. They both have issues (the J is heavy due to a Moses neck, the P has a body that is basically scrap) but they sound right and feel fine and I don't really desire anything better. I think people can get too hung up on this stuff to be honest. Just play what you've got and concentrate on the music. Last weekend I went to meet up with three guys I was in a band with in sixth form back in 1992 and we played our old demo. I had a Godin Acoustibass fretless at that time which sounded great but I was more pleased with how tight I was and how adventurous my playing was when I was 17 and I'd only been playing a couple of years. Concentrate on playing like a teenager is my advice.

I gave it a try earlier. It's quite quick sometimes but 'sometimes' doesn't really do the job.

Surely there must be noticeable latency on low notes? I've never used a pitch-tracking plugin than didn't add 40ms or so. I will try the demo tonight and report back!

I hate them. I am also a bass player from Leeds and was living and gigging in NYC at the same time in the mid '90s. Todd Rundgren even hung out with us, *and* I'm taller than Langdon but I never bumped into Liv Tyler. :/ Hate that ****in band!

I had one of the first Acoustibasses back in 1994, mine was a black fretless, sounded great but sucked to play live because of neck dive. Used it to record for a few years though.

Fishbone. Reality of My Surroundings cane out when I was 16.

I think the problem really is that a bass guitar doesn't sound very nice when it's played really fast. Especially when it's been set up super-low. There's very little opportunity to hear the note, just attack noise. He's clearly a great player but the fast stuff turns me off completely. Not just when he does it - there are lots of 'showboating' players who sound bad.

In the pub one night, a friend introduced me to a well-known local brass player and said 'This is Kev, he's a bass player'. I said 'I'm glad you didn't tell him I was a musician'.

Max at SFX would be a good person to call.

It's embedding fine now. Weird. No I'm using Chrome I've been a developer since IE5.5 was about.

Is anyone else finding that Youtube vids aren't embedding properly today? I'm just seeing a narrow black bar.

Well then it would be a two-minute bass solo, so it would suck more. I like Jaco's playing and I even like his playing on this, but I wouldn't choose to listen to it.

I've never liked Roland's sliders interface, but if it's under a grand (well it's Behringer so maybe it will be) I'll gake a punt.

Ultimately you're going to have to wear it, so of course looks are important. Unless you don't care what you look like in which case you probably shouldn't be spending time on stages, really.

[quote name='Thunderpaws' timestamp='1468653805' post='3092352'] Get a Febder Aerodyne. A bit more expensive than a new pickup but then you'll have two bass guitars and he aerodyne will do P and J. [/quote] Or a Yamaha BB bass.

Used to get that when I was a kid but my diet was terrible when I was a kid. Don't get it any more.
