Thanks for the suggestions. When I looked up the boss ce-5 it turns out some of the artists (Simon Gallup, Justin Chancellor) I listen to that use chorus use that exact pedal, so I will definitely be picking that up.

Yeah it's super solid! And so cheap too! can find the for 30 on ebay and built like a tabk. I made a mistake of trading mine for a nicer(more expensive) pedal and kind of regret it. Got a tc gravy chorus (mostly wanted the vibrato for guitar) and it definitely lacks the flexibility/shine of the ce-5. Smash it Smash hit fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Jan 23, 2014 |

When I was recording with my old band, we must have spent 2 hours trying to track down an elusive buzz on the bass track, before the engineer finally suggested raising the action on my bass. You could try a heavier E string. I personally would want at least a .100 for a short scale bass.

I have fixed it a bit by pulling back the volume on my neck pick up. Its a simulated hummucker so it has that deep thick growl but, a bit more pleasing than the EB-3. Also, I took apart my cab two times because it seemed to come a bit more out of my emperor. And it is almost completely resolved, it was one loose screw against a metal grommet. And it wasnt even "loose" it just wasnt tightened as hard as I loving could. Everything sounds much better now, I think I might switch back to a .100, I tried .90 on recommendation from a friend. Is there any particular reason that this would be better, I went in with the assumption that .90 would be better since it would be tighter? Am I completely wrong. I have always been an amp nerd and just learning the completely ins and outs of guitar build and would love a little tip or explanation. I replaced to the .90 when I noticed a buzz in the same area but, it should be noted that since getting a fret leveling I have not tried the .100s

A lighter gauge string is always going to be a bit looser and less focused than a heavier gauge due to the lower tension. The short scale of your bass will exaggerate the effect even further. Think about it this way, if you tuned your A string down to E, and it somehow remained playable, how do you think it would sound? Probably like one of Kirk Johnson's farts. Likewise if you tune any string a step or so higher than normal it will sound tighter and more focused.

What should I consider replacing it with, I might just buy a replacement E and see how that goes.

Gretzky may not have been able to teach, but he could loving play (and father a loving hot rear end daughter). Fieldy can neither teach, nor play.

It's basically at the exact opposite end of the scale from Fieldy's; Nasal honking instead of mud farts. Jaco was an amazing player but I don't think I could ever actually listen to him for enjoyment.

Although maybe in his case it's a combination of dope and multiple head injuries. Also I think Jaco got a better tone out of his fretted than his fretless.

Its almost the same as saying "hey, this bass is the least versatile thing you'll ever play, that'll be $2000 please" I personally wouldn't equate vintage tone with Jaco's tone, but I think that's probably the reason they use the term. It's really just designed to appeal to the nostalgia of the bassist version of Bluesdads. When you think of the range of different sounds and styles that have been played on Fender basses over the years, 'vintage tone' could mean any number of things (which probably have far more to do with how the bass was recorded than anything else).
