FYI I've updated LoopTube so that you can save your loops and share them or bookmark them. 
There are more ways for you to set the loop boundaries, with buttons, keyboard shortcuts or by dragging the indicators on the timeline. 

And you can slow down / speed up the loops with more precision. 

Here's an example: https://www.looptube.xyz/?vid=O10o3IuD-qo&start=18.375240979019168&end=22.831868028610273

I created LoopTube https://looptube.xyz as I wanted a web app to be able to quickly load a song and select a segment to loop, slow it down and move the loop around different phrases as I'm learning it. 

It needs a youtube ID or Link to load the song you want then you can control the loop length to focus on the area you want. 
Still working on it so let me know if you have any suggestions. 

You can also embed it in your own site - see the About page for iFrame embed code.

 

 

I made an online tool to practice by making loops in YouTube videos. 
Heavily inspired by ASD but you can just paste in a youtube link and do it in the browser. 

I also worked on the team who made Riffstation mentioned above

Working on an improved v2 of LoopTube at the moment. 
Hope you find it useful

Yeah you can use the youtube timeline but sometimes I guess that hides itself. 
I'll look at adding more info to the progress bar so you can see where the current playpoint is

New site is beautiful and a pleasure to use , well done!

Pity about the PMs - they were useful for sale & trade history.

Fortunately I managed to find most of my conversations in my gmail, using search term:

May be helpful to others

Any interest in a trade for a 75 vintage reissue jazz?
Based in Ireland...

Yes the ports in the enclosure! So I might notice a lack of high frequency? Will check it out.

I have an old Trace Elliot GP12 combo. Which still works ok, although I've noticed it overheating and cutting out after a long session.

There was something loose rattling around and it popped it out through the air hole. Not being to knowledgeable about the electronics side of things, I'm not sure what it's function was and how it affects the amp when missing.
Can someone enlighten me?

It's not a BP100. Looks very similar, just that it doesn't have the clips, but flat round discs that stick to the bridge. The clips look handy.

My amp is Markbass CMD 151P http://www.markbass.it/product_detail.php?id=71
Impedance of 8ohms. Not sure where that leaves me?!

Sounds good, I'm hoping the engineer at the recording session will know what to do!
I recorded with the pickup last night, and yes I guess I'm trying to get the same sound that I hear when playing acoustically which is just not going to happen!
I'll have to use the pick-up for live playing, but must look into using a mic instead.
Thanks

OK, yes nasal and scratchy is what I'm getting most of the time. But sometimes it clears up and sounds ok! Can't identify what causes it to change.
Not too sure on the impedance front, I'll have to look into it.

Would some superglue be a bad idea??

Also, does the positioning of the pads really matter? Once they have good even contact with the wood I guess that's the main thing?

Thanks for the help

Direct to amp at the mo. I have a fishman pro EQ, but I haven't been able to configure it to sound better than direct!

I would have thought adhesive tape would be worse as it goes between the pickup and the bridge, but I must try some and see if it improves things.

I'm trying to amplify my double bass for recording.
I'm finally making the move from electric standard to upright.
At the moment I'm working with a cheap Thomann kontrabass, and K&K Twin Pickup.

After a bit of moving around and testing, the adhesive on the two pads is wearing off so I used some gaffer tape to keep the stuck to the bridge!

I tried a few different placements too and found the pictures positioning best so far.

I also have worked on the EQ on my amp to get best sound. I'm getting a bit much grating from changing notes and moving fingers.

Any advice based on my attempts so far and looking at the picture of my pickup placement?

Thanks

I think this was the first tune I heard, fantastic cover of The Meters' Cissy Strut

Oooh yeah. Discovered these on a compilation last year, really great isn't it?!

Still Available?

Yep on my one you browse by folder. And you can browse while an album is playing. Takes a wee bit of learning but it's fine once you get the hang of it

I got a Pioneer one last year from here http://www.incarexpress.co.uk/view_product.php?partno=DEH2320UB
Have an 8gb USB key and it's very handy. Good to have the standard auxilary audio input at the front aswell so you can play any portable device.

Hi mate,
Just sent the man a PM on the Swedish bass forum, we'll see what he says. Would expect it to be gone, but in these times you never know!
Take care,
Matt

Thanks Matt,
I saw the LPB one on pratabas (if that's the same one?), was still available in October, so fingers crossed! It looks great.
Google translate was very useful!
Thanks for trying for me.
Brian.

No problem, I've sent him a PM with a link to this thread.
Good luck and hope you score one, the FSR jazzes are awesome!

Hey, do you know if that FSR is still available? Would you mind linking me up if so?
I've been on the lookout for one too!

Cheers
