RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE

God no! If you can play guitar as well, all the better . If anything, your dexterity should improve. Enjoy;)

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1367085312' post='2061193'] That's too confusing for me I'm afraid. [/quote] I totally understand thanks for helping tho'

What I'm doing at the moment ; drum app from ipad- into irig - toneport - garageband. Then, remove ipad . plug bass - into toneport - then garageband. Then, believe it or not , I plug ipad back into toneport and, using headphone out socket from toneport record onto the ipad version of soundcloud . Hope that's not too confusing;)

Is that the woman who sings with her eyes shut,and has loads of teeth? Sorry, but it brings back painful memories of '70s disco. Glad you're enjoying it tho'

[quote name='Zenitram' timestamp='1367078337' post='2061071'] What do you do on the iPad that you can't do on the actual computer? [/quote] Thanks for replying. I use apps on the ipad, that are not on Mac mini .

Not the food variety . I use garageband on my Mac mini / line 6 toneport ux1 (podfarm) and an ipad. I have recorded a few bits this way on soundcloud( mellowcat;) Reason I was thinking of using a mixer, is that it would be less fiddlly than what I am doing at the moment. For example, would I be able to use 2 things at once ( ipad and bass) going from mixer into garageband? Or should I not bother with a mixer at all? Please advise. Cheers

Surprisingly , even on you tube there isn't much to go on. Did you manage to play any songs with the rest of the band? I'm intrigued as an 8 string can be overpowering.

Wouldn't mind reverting to the old one again tbh.

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1366910384' post='2058989'] I use TC BH500 and BC212 matching cabs x2. I use a fender jazz with dimarzio dp123 and j-retro. [/quote] Okay, I've heard of TC amps but not actually heard them to my knowledge . Are your pickups active on the Fender? Regarding amps ; from personal experience I found Trace Elliot to be boomy , muddy , but not very clear. Eden nemesis combo fantastic and much brighter than the Trace. Maybe you may need a sans amp or similar. Also, regarding the action of the Fender, I would not adjust the action for sound. It's how comfortable you play. That's all I know, now back to the other Basschatters to help

That was good. Cool cats

[quote name='badboy1984' timestamp='1366902663' post='2058809'] What i mean by clanky punch tone is the flea bass tone. I'm trying to get that tone on my jazz by boosting mids and treble and striking the bass with force but still no clank or that punch i'm looking for. I got to admit my bass is not low action. Will low action and abit of fret buzz will give me that funky punch tone? [/quote] Active pickups are good for the flea tone. Status basses are also a must ( graphite necks as already mentioned); what amp are you using?

[quote name='Jack Cahalane' timestamp='1366898484' post='2058737'] I thought my amp was broken too last week in rehearsal when it kept cutting out "F***ing Marshall crap breaking twice in one f***ing year, f***'s sake, piece of f***ing s**t. Oh hang on my lead is dodgy" Next time I'll check everything before assuming the worst [/quote] Brilliant

Nice one

Cool;) I was unaffected . Nice one

Did it happen?

Denmark street/charing x road.

It's been going on a few years now. Queensryche and 80s hair metal bands have done it. whatever rocks your. Boat .)

I can't drive . Used to be ok when living In central London . Since living in suburbia , Mr.Drums was always the main man in the band

Crazy

[quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1366363744' post='2051417'] Don't buy it. It's those f***ing grey squirrel guitars that are to blame for the lack of red squirrel guitars. If I were the maker, I'd have it so that you insert the lead's jack up it's arse. That'll teach it. [/quote] Brilliant!

Nice baaaasss:)
