We're doing some recording at the moment and are tracking the instruments on top of drum tracks that were done to a click - my most hated form of recording (which may well be relevant to the problem I'm having).

 

When I look at my bass tracks in the DAW, I am consistently just ahead of the beat, regardless of song or tempo. And I can't seem to correct for this... It doesn't sound overtly wrong but I wonder if getting this right will tighten up the general feel of things - and even if it is working as-is, I think I'd like to develop the ability to actually play on the beat too.

 

What are the panel's thoughts? I can't decide if this is just how I play, if I'm just in need of practice or if I am somehow hard-wired with crap timing. Any pointers as to how to work on this would be very much appreciated.

It it sounds right to you and the others involved then it is fine. It's undesirable to try and achieve quantization-like timing. I'd bet you could look at many famous bass and drum tracks in software and find the same thing.

I’m a Warwick fan, not least because they have a big range of lefties. 
 

Does anyone have the knowledge to filter left handed only on shop.warwick.de?

I've never been able to find a way to do this. I generally just open the product page and search for 'left'.

I bought a pedal from Lunoxx. Great comms and fast delivery. The pedal was in pristine condition as advertised. I’m very happy. 

Pm sent re Broughton.

Pending a new family photo, here are the latest additions. A 2022 Fender Player Plus (white) and a 2021 Fender Player (black). The black one has an aftermarket pickguard and the hi mass bridge.

Lovely basses. Can you tell me where you got the replacement pickguard from?

@JohnR - there you go, fixed! 😋

 

Now that is downright cruel. 😂

Sigh. I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was left handed.

This would be a dream bass for me if only it was long scale. It is beautiful. 

Great device. I bitterly regret selling mine.

Spin it over and pretend you are the Hendrix of bassists 😂

Ha. I’m not even the Noel Redding of bass. 😂

Need something to play whilst you’re waiting 😂

 

It should only rise in value between now and then 🙈

I would have been very interested but I'm a lefty. 😆

Source Audio Atlas compressor - £170 delivered in UK. Purchased in August 2022, home use only, in pristine condition with box and PSU. 

Lovely sounding compressor and able to do the magic trick of running two compression patches simultaneously allowing you to have compression at the start of the chain and a limiter at the end of it. 

Potential buyers are welcome to demo in Glasgow. 

I'm waiting on a German built Sadowsky with an ETA of February 2025.

Do you feel that the little things like small foots or corners had been improved.

 

The weight are even more amazing now.

They are the same as before. I chose the cab for tone and portability so understand some of the design decisions made to achieve that. 

I bought a new version AT210+ recently from Bass Direct. It has the full carbon top and the new cloth speaker grill. I previously owned one of the old designs and much prefer this new model.

I just transcribed the bass line to Frank Wilson's tune Do I Love You.

A tasty chunk of northern soul which one of my bands has decided to learn.

Sadly, as we play mostly parties and pubs, the audience want songs it knows and can dance and sing along with. So the pattern will be, learn it, pay to rehearse it, spend time getting it tight then play it to an indifferent public and eventually drop it. 

No matter how often this happens they will continue to choose 'cool' unpopular music and quite frankly I am done arguing with them.

I'm 59. I've been through my 'cool' years, now I just want to entertain folk.

I occasionally dep in a band who recently started doing this song. It has gone down a storm at every gig. 

I bought one to use around the house and as a spare but the master volume pot crackling has sent my OCD into overdrive. Looks like it’s going back. 

I have this exact bass in a lefty. Love it.

Best cab I've owned in 47 years of playing. Sad you didn't get one. I similarly can't get a mesa d350 in the UK till at least sometime next year😥

I've previously owned a 410+ which was an amazing cab. I wanted to downsize and replace it with a 2x10.

I just wish they'd produce and ship the products they already have. I gave up waiting for a carbon 2x10 to become available.

On hold pending.
