Hello Basschat

Hi there, greetings from Devon.


My name is Ben and ive played guitar for 25 years now.
I write and record my own stuff, in a wide range of styles, but mainly Punk, Psych stuff.

I also have an incurable Fuzz pedal addiction and a healthy appetite for Rum tiki cocktails.

Ive owned a bass (Squier Jazz) for around 5 years, got it for recording/pc interface purposes , but have only just got around to getting an amplifier to play it through.

Its only a Rumble 25, but its really great hearing the bass properly and not through headphones.

Anyway, ive really started to enjoy bass a lot more, and want to push on and improve my bass knowledge and technique, and i know that this forum will help with that. Plus i’ll be haunting the marketplace frequently no doubt!

i already have a massive FX pedal collection, but zero strictly ‘bass’ pedals yet. Cant wait to hop on the bass pedal merry-go-round!

Many thanks, Ben.

Definitely, getting that amp and hearing the half decent low frequencies been a bit of a revelation to me tbh.

One of the marks of a good bass sound at a venue is that you feel the low frequencies rather than hear them.  If you get your technique and the right settings on a half decent compressor, you can do so without causing ear fatigue.

Headphones can't do this for you so you can't practice how to get there safely at home, you are relying on tweakage at the venue rather than any real experience.  With a decent practice amp you can get partway there before you hit the stage, as it were.
