Reaper is a great place to start with video... 

Lovely... very relaxing.  Sounds good on the bluetooth speaker and laptop here, I will check it out on monitors in the studio later..

cool as.. enjoyed muchly.  thats a lot of video/audio to sync and mix... good job!

Wow thanks. I can honestly say that the tone was not even thought about. My acg with eq flat, di'd straight into amplitube free version. Using the preset 'bass 3' with a touch of the bass rolled off.  Although I may have also moved the virtual mic back to give it a more open roomy tone. 

 

But literally it was a 20 second job!  

 

Interesting wee point yo make too is that caeilas part was just audio from the video on her phone. Not a proper mic! It's not perfect obviously, and not exactly radio ready, but it's quite astonishing the quality that anyone with a smart phone can record! 

 

 

Wow.. 20 second set up!  Gonna have to try amplitude again..   looks like it could help in the search  for a decent bass vst.

Vocals sound fantastic,  considering the phone mic/ room acoustics, etc - the fx are a bit heavy for my taste, still stunning tho'...

How do you vary the pitch or mod changes - are they pressure sensitive so you more you press them the more mod / pitch you get?

That would be better, but they are just on/off with adjustable switching speed for pitch and toggle/momentary for mod -  enough to get going with...

pitch bend +/-  and mod buttons to the left, below octave +/-  and sustain... work well too.

I use one of these, lurks... 35 notes on amazon. 

Still for sale... Offers?

Sorry Bard, only just seen this.. ( no notification came up), will check out price and pm you...

The Joyo American Sound and Orange Juice both have a lot of hiss compared to the Tech21 products, which only exhibit noise when you crank the gain.

Just don't get that with my HB pedal, example vid needed...

I had one of these Joyo American pedals. It did make a righteous sound - truly glorious - but....... it was a noisy bugger, even with low gain levels.

I have the Harley Benton copy - haven't tried bass through it, but I'd say it was as quiet as the Fender amp that I often use it instead of...  Maybe yours didn't like the PSU you were using or something.

F###in' excellent! 

 Really lifted my spirits after I just got back from another hospital visit, holding my wife writhing in pain, sp#wing bright green matter due to her f###ed pancreas...  

As you said , what else can you do under the circumstances. Thank you, you're an inspiration! 

Got hold of the cheapest Behringer to try ages ago... tried different valves in it (including a Mullard), just to give it a chance to sound decent.  You can certainly alter the tone with different valves, but I didn't like the sound of it whatever I loaded into it.... 

Bump it up..... 

Basic easy to understand starter video....  (edit: didn't notice sexist banter at beginning - please skip to 0.07 to miss it)

Left handed Tanglewood, Solid Mahogany top and back, discreet B Band electrics with volume control just inside soundhole.

In excellent condition.Well setup and plays beautifully... just fitted new GHS silk and steel strings..

Thank you,  and yes very, very rare to see a lefty- rarer still one  up for sale ....

After much deliberation, I am letting go of my faithful Jazz... I bought her as used from a Northampton music shop late 80's , and was my only bass for decades.Has some dings and scratches but really nice condition for her age.

The original pickups started to get a little less bold, so the  Duncan Designed pickups were a quick fix for an upcoming gig(but the originals will come supplied).

Beautiful figuring on the maple neck and perfect frets. Wearing Ti flats and comes with a road worn homemade case. Rare opportunity to grab a quality vintage lefty...

I didn't touch the nut.  @OldG's advice sounds fine.  I just don't want to cut the nut until the lad has tried these strings.  He might want to go back to the 10s.  In either case, I will keep that in mind for further down the line.

 

That's the beauty of this..  works for any string gauge you want to put on ( the bottom of the slot and string is a constant) - I set up basses like this too .

forgot to mention.. with light strings the nut has to be spot on - or there will be zero chance of staying in tune at the lower frets. The following method has served me well for years...

1) fret string a the 3rd fret

2) tap string onto the top of the first fret (the wire itself), you will almost certainly feel the string move ( too much clearance) before you hear a metallic click.

3) very carefully lower nut slot (keeping the break angle) until you feel no movement but you still hear a click as you tap (any further is to far and will fret buzz). Err on the side of caution here until confident.

4) repeat until all strings are at optimum.

That looks fantastic! Get him playing some power chords through an overdriven amp and you'll have him hooked... Easy cheezy like rhythm parts for Anarchy in the UK,Teenage Kicks and Sin City to get him going - play along to help out too, if you can.

10's on a les paul will feel like 9's on a fender.. i find that I need 10's to get any chance of chords without them squirming around too much due to the lower tension.
