At the risk of sounging a bit too stiff, I think that harmony alone is not the right term to use. Harmony is one of the pillars in music together with melody and rhythm and refers to something specific.

Learning how to walk the bass will give you that and I genuinely believe that there is no substitute for that since it requires: 1. Improvisational skills - walking bass lines are created on the spot 2. A level of understanding of harmony 3. Good rhythmic skills 4. Stamina - walking the bass is not that easy 5. A good melodic sense in order to make sinuous bass lines that effortlessly move between chords

Interesting you get noise with P basses. Have you got to the bottom of it? Any noise source in your place? eg neon lights

tuning the guitar in Eb doesn't mean they moved away from 440Hz. they transposed

That is a great way to put it! I agree 100%. Also, semantic is quite important. Words are important, and we shouldn't take the meaning out of them, or just attribute them a meaning they don't actually have. I think here we've been confusing "music business" with music itself (the art).

just saw this at the National Museum of Musical Instruments in Rome - not from the 80s though

maybe we can file that under "improving"

Some good info here too

plus the processing time, that might not always be sub millisecond

BTW I was assuming you have the sound module and are looking for a way to load/change sounds on the fly, but I just realised you might mean you're after a sound module that does that.

You'd need to make sure that the sound generator you want to play via MIDI accepts Program Changes MIDI messages, and at that point you can use a MIDI controller (anything from a pad controller to footswitches, as long as they send the right MIDI msg) to load the preset/sound on the fly. In order to better understand the details, you'd need to share more info about the sound generator.

Are they P basses?

Not reggae, but heavily influenced by dub. Bill Laswell's use of envelope filters to get that sub sound is great! https://billlaswell.bandcamp.com/album/tala-matrix

Most likely just semantic, but all the things listed above aren't music. I agree that being a pro musician has all these competitive aspects though, similar to other jobs.

I think music is art. And as such, there might be some competitive aspects, but I wouldn't say it's a competition (eg car races).

But, glad to see they are making more lefties anyway.

Not after a bass atm, but I always liked to see (ehm... have) a Fender Boxer, lefty! Not sure they even made it lefty though.

Not only the best bassist, but also stronger than Lemmy... just saying https://youtu.be/0puHj2viLc0

The MXR M82 seems really versatile, but I never played with one. That said, on YT there are several good videos. Months ago I got this https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Eden-CaliforniWAH-Bass-Wah-Pedal-with-PSU/4UX6 And I am happy with it. It's still on sale. It seems less versatile than the MXR, but nontheless it has personality. It is dirty and squelchy if you want, but goes low as well with the right settings. 2 things about it, it wants its 15v psu (that comes with it), and the size. Everybody thinks it is big, but it is not. It's as big as a Boss pedal, but sits horizontally instead of vertically, if that makes sense.

I don't have the amp, but I recently watched a video on the official page where they say only the send goes through the valve, the return doesn't

To exceed the 8-10 ch, usually one wants to use analogue + adat. So, an audio interface with an A/D/A converter. Ie Clarett + Octopre

Exactly. I should have said that, the mixer is fully analogue
