  1. IE Xerograph, OnkartGromt Funky Fellow, FI.
  2. This has both options: https://www.roland.com/us/products/fs-6/ https://www.thomann.de/gb/boss_fs6.htm
  3. Listen to Brothers Johnson and wonder why the StingRay slapping sounds like that. Well, he used to use flats. SS RW isn't the de-rigeur choice for slapping. My basses are all strung with SS RW (GHS long scale plus or similar D'Addario, 40 - 100 (120)).
  4. Sorry, dear Q, I am not able to help you, but please specify latching or non-. Might help with the offers.
  5. This is the answer: nearly year old strings. I tend to change strings 2 to 4 times a year. M. Miller changes strings after three hours in studio...
  6. *-* and hands These alcohol based liquids for cleaning hands could work well, but they may dry your hands a lot if used extensively. My fingers are not compatible with most detergents.
  7. Then you might like the late Pekka Pohjola. He was considered first as a composer and then as a bassist and a bandleader. Give this a try, there's even a solo.
  8. We were having the same issue few years ago. We heard that Soundcraft 16 and 24 have different mic preamps, so we bought the Ui24. Good choice, there are never too much channels. We had a strange issue with the wireless. It nearly worked every now and then. One colleague said that the IEMs have to be further away from the desk. 1 m / 3 ft was enough and now the system is reliable. Cheap, light, functional and has a nice set of presets like comp, eq and so on. Learning curve is quite short because 3 out of 4 singers can use it already, after three years! The rack is a must, buy a short one.
  9. If you play with any acoustic instrument, your tuning should not be calculated from some basic "sixth root of two" because instruments like piano cannot be tuned mathematically straight. Otherwise they would sound funny (read: terrible). My Peterson SAM has tuning temperament for bass. It tunes lowest notes slightly too low. Works and sounds like a dream. And yes, our band has a piano player and some brass. The answer to the original question is: "No". I would be far more interested in the stability of my bass necks than the tuner accuracy. Modern quartz tuners are very good and stable - and I have half a minute to tune my carbon neck instruments before the rehearsals or gigs start, so I will sleep my nights just like before.
  10. Mouradian CS-74.
  11. My dear father had somewhat similar issue with his iPad. Updates were not happening anymore. I did not find the answer right away. The problem was that the updates are already 64-bit and they won't go in to an older 32-bit system. Solution: went to a store and bought a newer unit to him.
  12. An all white Moon with a mic has not been mentioned. A 36" Overwater C... what else? Yes, a two string fretless played with slide! Adventurous people, have to say.
  13. Where's Billy Sheehan? Stan the man? Phil Lesh (Modulus, Alembic, Ritter...)? I love those experiments, not so much the basic models while talking about "signatures". Stingray is a Stingray. And after saying this, the Pensa-Suhr of the late Victor Bailey looks good, while I do not like the maple colour of MM's bass.
  14. It can be read through several comments here already, but I want to point out that adjustments should be done with a new set if strings. Old, worn and dirty strings may give strange results.
  15. Some obvious and some not so obvious suggestions: - Daring Audio Phat Beam for comp and LPF - an auto wah, like Subdecay or IE Xerograph - an octaver, like the small Cog T-16 or Valeton OC-10 - a decent distortion or fuzz combined with the octaver and the comp would make... noise!
  16. A red Guild Ashbory, Clevinger 5, Misa TriBass, Kramer Ferrington, Ibanez Ashula, Moog Prodigy... I still own the Clevinger and the Misa, which hasn't been to gigs.
  17. Jerry Auerswald (DE) is the maker of selected Prince's instruments.
  18. Here are two variations of the theme. Easy to play, pretty light, compact body, lots of sound possibilities...
  19. Heavier in weight than the blond (fretted 4) but pretty easy to play. I do love the 19 mm string spacing.
  20. I could look after that fretless 5 as well as the Zon...
  21. Series has the sound and high level, single can be slightly compressed and has that edge. At the moment I might use only single and humbucker in my basses.
  22. You actually want two sounds only. The functional choices are: 1) series - parallel 2) series - single coil Parallel and single coil are so close together that it is pretty hard to hear any distinctive difference between them while playing. Parallel gives slightly more output, but only so little that the difference is very close to nothing. On the other hand single gives slightly more edge (compared to parallel), although we are talking about really tiny details. If you need a boost sometimes in your act, consider the second option, single / humbucker.
  23. Weight? Setup? This kind of monster may be a real steal now, and if the builder gets lots of orders via reputation, the price may rise to unobtanium or similar. Of course the bass may be one of few this guy will ever build and you could get a good deal. If I was not able to test drive a bass, I'd be careful, as always.
  24. SS RW sound very good on a fretless. Me like.
