The reverse delay model in the old Zoom G1on, G1Xon, B1on, B1Xon, MS-50G, MS-60B and MS-70CDR is pretty damn great, actually.

I finally pulled myself together to upload "Hole Song" by an old musical project Janosch, that I was one half of together with Markus (Jesper Marcussen), on YouTube. Originally released on the compilation "Danelectro" Lead vocals and rhythm guitar: Jesper Marcussen Lead guitars (except guitar solo*), bass and backing vocals: Jacob Læby (me) Backing vocals: Michelle Kappel Drum machine, synth, *guitar solo, production and mixing: Per Chnöeldh And genre wise we are around some relatively lo-fi indie rock/pop. Recorded somewhere around 2001. (cover/video art is from the 4 track EP "Inhere Outhere" by Janosch, that was released previously to this track, I shot the cover photo) - And the latest actual worthwhile serious track that I made, although not that new, is a remix of the track "Elastic2" by Fencepost, per request. But this is with my solo drone/ambient project, Fjernsind, and something entirely different, experiemental dark ambient/drone. Rather radical remix might I add, and created and released in July 2019. I even made an actual animated video of sorts for it:

Yes, and that despite me specifying that I played a 5 string bass, so...

Ok, this doesn't look like me at all:

As I also mentioned it could be that the magnets are stronger too. To give an example the DiMarzio Model P and the EMG Geezer Butler P, both passive pickups, and while they both have just about the same DC resistance, which would indicate similar amount of coil wounds, the magnetic field of the Model P is much stronger than that of the Geezer, which results in the Model P having a considerably louder, hotter output than the Geezer.

Pure nickel, I would say. Forget that, I misunderstood the question, this is obviously the other way around (no pun intended).

P pickups generally have more wounds on the coils, increasing DC resistance, which increases output, the two halves are also connected in series, which again, among other things, increases the output. The J pickups only got on coil, and usually with fewer wounds on the coil than your typical P pickup. Finally the strings vibrate more nearer the neck, and less towards the bridge, which effects the strength of the "input" signal to the pickups. The signal the J pickup picks up is simply weaker to begin with than the signal the P pickup picks up. Other than that it is possible that the P pickups got stronger magnets installed, increasing the strength of the magnetic field, which again increases output. It's pretty common by the way that the P in a P/J Bass is louder than the J pickup. But they can be balanced, if one uses a weaker P pickup and a stronger J pickup. Often though in a P/J you just use the J pickup for adding extra upper range flavor to the P pickup, and usually won't solo the J pickup.

Oh, it is definitely an EHX POG in some form, yes looks like the Mirco, if OP should want to nail the exact tone. But just about any decent polyphonic octave up pedal should do.

Well, the octave up would be blended with parallel clean signal, my best guess in about equal measures, just using the regular dry/clean signal blend on your octave pedal. And there is a keyboard playing too, which might confuse you.

Digital polyphonic octave up, blended with parallel clean signal, maybe a hint of reverb or very subtle delay, I think that is basically it. Mind there is a keyboard playing too, which might confuse you.

I decided to stick to the format/concept of single track bass improvisation, with only edits done to it in a simple Wav editor, so here I bring you: The astonishing psychedelic Faux Electro Dog Simulation™ : Take 1 of a free improvisation with some minor post production edits in a simple Wav editor. Played on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I named "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the 4 upper strings of a 6 string bas in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string), through my "amp-less" setup, directly into a hand held Zoom H4n recorder.

Here you go: Based on an old concert photo : Based on a more recent selfie: I can't say any of them are particular accurate to my actual looks.

I might have to initiate my Boss RC-500 Loop Station for the next contest, and perhaps even utilize the Zoom recorders ability to record 4 mono tracks/2 stereo tracks. It's not a promise, but something I will consider. It might still end up with just a single track improv like the other tracks I've contributed with.

I just released this on Bandcamp a couple of days ago, here's the album description: Piece #911 3 freely improvised tracks First 2 tracks are single track recordings, played on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I named "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the 4 upper strings of a 6 string bass in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string), through my "amp-less" setup, directly into a handheld Zoom H4n recorder, and only edited with a simple Wav editor. - "A Dorian Ody-C#" : Here I take you on a timeless, time dissolving, musical folk drone journey slowly flowing down a fluctuating colorful stream of consciousness. Take 2 of a free improvisation. (full length, uncut, version of the track I entered the BassChat Composition Challenge April 2025 with) - "Lament For Burning Bridges" : Improvised 1st take. (minimalistic black gaze?) - "Hail Satan" : Primarily played on my Santana 3/4 classical acoustic nylon string guitar, on which I scratched out the first "n" and the last "a" of the logo, so it is now named "Satan". Freely improvised 1st take on top of a programmed drum track. (black noise core/metal?) - Can be listened to an downloaded for free here: https://fjernsind.bandcamp.com/album/piece-911

The Dorks (well here I both swapped a letter and made it swap position, not sure if that counts?)

Is to be found in an uncut version, along with the tracks "Lament For Burning Bridges" and "Hail Satan", here, where it can be listened to and downloaded for free: ▶︎ Piece #911 | Fjernsind https://fjernsind.bandcamp.com/album/piece-911

Take 2 of a free improvisation with some minor post production edits. Played on my 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro Bass, that I named "Mr. Growly - The Noodlemancer", tuned in G# standard tuning (as in one half step bellow the 4 upper strings of a 6 string bas in regular B standard tuning, plus a high E string), through my "amp-less" setup, directly into a hand held Zoom recorder. Here I take you on a timeless, time dissolving, musical folk drone journey slowly flowing down a fluctuating colorful stream of consciousness, with the help of my brand new EHX Pico Deep Freeze sample sustainer.

I have solved the issue. I found an online free Wav editor and used that to cut out small parts of the track, to get it down to ever so slightly less than 5 minutes. This primitive way of doing it does make the track kind of jumpy at the points where it has been cut, but I kind of like that effect actually, so will post the track soon.

@lurksalot So I finally got an idea, thanks to my newly acquired EHX Pico Deep Freeze sample sustainer pedal, and recorded 2 takes of a drony and folky improvised bass solo/solo bass piece that I named "A Dorian Ody-C#", however I think take 2 was considerably better than take 1, which turned out sounding a bit rushed, take 2 being played in a much more, fitting for the track, relaxed and carefree manner, and additionally take 2 also had a slight jazzy vibe that take 1 lacks, only issue, in the nature of free improvisation, take 1 is 4 minutes and 32 seconds, which does fit within the time limit set for this competition, whereas take 2 runs 6 minutes and 1 second. So the question is, could you possibly, in the name of artistic freedom, make an exception and allow my entrance for this month to exceed that set time limit with 1 minute and 1 second? I promise this will not become a bad habit, and I'd really rather not have to record another, third, take, as I know it will ruin the immediate, spontaneous and authentic vibe of this being a free improvisation. Mind this was recorded exactly as it was played, no post production, and I do not do edits, and currently got no means to make them either. Also I don't think that my track running slightly longer gives me any advantage in the competition, I would say likely rather quite on the contrary, though I do realize why the time limit was set (I assume to not force people having to listen through five, or however many, 15 minutes tracks just to be able to vote, and I do agree that in this regard about 5 minutes does seem reasonable). However I of course would understand if you see this as a slippery slope you'd rather not take a step out on.
