    String change for recording?

    in Recording

    Posted

    When is the best time to change strings before recording? I thought if you changed them on the day of recording you would have problems with them going out of tune and they would be to "metally" sounding, same with changing them a few days before. Would it be correct in changing them say a week in advance, giving you time to break them in whilst also maintaing the clarity you get from new strings.

    What method do you use?

    Optima Strings

    Hey guys.

    I normally use Optima strings ( chrome 45-105), mainly because i know the main dealer and i get them cheap :rolleyes: . They [u]seem[/u] to do the job but what does everyone else think about these strings?

    Also, i want to try out new strings to compare but can't afford to go out and buy a load, so can anyone share their knowledge with me and give me some advice on what would be best. I know different strings suit different styles of playing and what sound your going for and to acheive this you have to find whats best for you, but as i said i'm a poor man :) . I play with my fingers and the sound im trying to acheive and the style im similar to is dirk lance (incubus-science) and josh paul (suicidal tendencies-free your soul and save my mind). So i want nice lows when keeping it to a tight groove with warm highs when doing a fill or doing a bit of tapping/slapping. I've got the equipment to pull the sound off, just need the right string and gauge for something like this.

    Any advice welcome!

    Tuner to Amp?

    in Effects

    Posted

    Hey guys, finally bought the korg dtr 1000. As you know im terrible with the workings of gear!

    Basically, i can't get my korg to work with my ampeg, im following the instructions. They are telling me to connect the output at the rear of my tuner to the tuner out of my ampeg, im doing this and have tried various ways but i can't get a signal from my tuner unless i directly plug my bass into it. I've tried the same but plugging into the rear input in the tuner and still nothing. Obviously the main reason i got this is so i can tune my bass easy with out plugging in and out. It's most probably something really easy but i havn't got a clue!

    Please get back to me asap, much appreciated.

    hey guys, im thinking of getting the Korg DTR 1000 as it looks pretty good. Just a question, as i dont know that much about gear. I think ive got a 4u rack case, its holding an ampeg svt4, it looks like i could fit the korg in, im just double checking with you guys before i buy the korg that all is good.

    Thanks in advance.

    As i know nothing about the details of amps, impedance.... , Im just wondering if an ampeg svt4 would run efficiently with a mark bass standard 106hf, also in the near future im looking to get rid of my mark bass ta501 head for the ampeg svt4, im looking for a tone that can cover various styles of music without really changing it for a certain parts of a song if you get me. Something like incubus, faith no more, i find with my ta501 it gives me a nice clean tone but doesnt give me that drive which the ampeg should give me.
