  1. I assume that is to cover the extra production expenses for installing a pickup switch, including extra routing, unlike the first version that had both pickups full on in parallel permanently all the time.
  2. Nobody knows your personal preferences better than you!
  3. Get a tube preamp that can approximate the tone you get through your tube amp.
  4. Who was the best bass player ever? Did they take drugs frequently? There you got your answer!
  5. Bob Dylan couldn't sing, and nobody ever heard from him since... You don't have to have wide tonal range, or be able to sing powerful, heck you almost doesn't even have to be able to sing in tune, all it requires to be a great singer is dedication, given in and staying true to the lyrics material. Letting your voice be/live the lyrics...
  6. When I joined my first band non of us had the faintest idea of how to play our respective instruments, and never had single lesson, not even from a book. Best way to learn how to play your instrument is playing in a band. You don't learn how to play with other people from sitting alone at home and playing with yourself. Find the right band for you and join it!
  7. I really should stop spamming posts about the same two basses, each time I've made a slight visual modification to it, but just this last time, my Ibanez GSRM20B Mikro Bass, and it's most recent incarnation:

  9. Paranoid Chant - Minutemen
  10. Anyone ever made a cabinet of clay, like a ceramic cabinet? Beside the obvious disadvantages, I wonder how that would sound. I mean apparently, according to Phil Starr, lead cabinets exists, so why not?
  11. Forbidden Beat - Bad Religion
  12. I've read up on it a bit, and allegedly it is based on a Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal, but heavily modded. I however didn't find any mention of EQ or dip switches under the hood, or clean blend. So you can actually blend in clean sound, or is there always a fixed amount of cleans bended in, that you then can adjust the EQ of, under the hood, or? I assume there would be some kind of overall master level control under the hood too?
  13. What you describe is exactly what happens when the hot wire/circuit is touching the ground/shield somewhere. Look again.
  14. Mary Bell - Stina Nordenstam
  15. Perhaps the Gemini Pickups Mountain Lightning J pickup? https://www.geminipickups.co.uk/bass/jazz-bass/mountain-lightning
  16. That is all fine and dandy, but you forget to tell them about the 3rd one! I feel obliged to let you all know then that the 3rd one in particular will elevate your bass playing into outer alternate sub space, and leave you flabbergasted with transcendent and meta crispy interdimensional swag. Please record yourself doing a double backflip, and send the video to me, then I will reveal The 3rd Secret™ to you! (for a minor fee)
  17. This! Galopping is really hard both with 2 finger plucking and using a pick, it is however really easy when utilizing 3 fingers, that is index, middle and ring finger. Try practice that. For me personally I found it really hard with 2 finger plucking technique, and even harder using a pick (and mind I am rather proficient with pick playing), but came easy, almost naturally, when using 3 fingers.
  18. Drive after reverb and delay after reverb can sound freaking damn astonishing, it depends on the application and context though. And personally I prefer chorus and other modulation before drive. But you disagree with my taste, while your taste is the universal truth? What the f***...
  19. And yet you go right on and claim they sound universally better that way. Again... It's like you only read the last 4 words of my post. As I already said it entirely depends on personal taste and specific application/context. Drive after reverb and delay after reverb can sound freaking damn astonishing, it depends on the application and context though. And personally I prefer chorus and other modulation before drive.
  20. That's a matter of taste and specific application/context, it isn't a universal law.
  21. Maybe I'm Amazed - Paul McCartney
