Jeff Goldblum posted:So my amp head did a weird thing at my last show. About halfway through the set it starts making these intermittent popping sounds, which seemed to be associated with vibrations of the amp head, itself. At some point I pressed down on the amp, around the input, and got a bunch of noise and what sounded like a feedback loop. I was lucky my speakers didn't blow. If you're so inclined you could get the DMM out and test some key components?

Bass nerds: Pedal companies seem to love to make "amp in a can" preamp pedals these days. Sansamp has been doing it for ages, of course. Anyone know of a company doing an Ampeg V4 in a pedal? They make a Scrambler but I'm specifically looking for the V4 magic.

If you aren't ripping all of your pickups out for some Novaks or Porters then you clearly are not playing guitar but rather your small peepee that is unworthy of love.

Anime Reference posted:I liked the headstock shape until I noticed A.) it's flamed maple B.) the top edge is a slant rather than a straight line. gently caress that. Because the pickups are stereo out (I assume for bi-amping) is why two of them are next to each like that I guess.

I would just use the old timey method of a "clap" where I would hold the bass up to the camera and slap the strings then use that event to sync the audio and video. edit: oh it's a "thin/tinny" sound that's the problem. I would start pulling things from the signal chain until I identify the culprit that is a very strange issue. Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Dec 29, 2023 |

Also, Bass Thread, I got a Squier CV 60s P-Bass and a Cali76 compressor and the official Ampeg/Brainworx SVT-VR plugin to go with my UA Volt 2 and copy of Logic Pro. I'm so happy with the sound, it's exactly what I wanted. 😭

Kevin Bacon posted:speaking of tone though, how does sam wilkes get his insanely crisp and snappy tone? obviously technique, and he uses rounds, tone open i imagine. OD and a lot of compression? anything else? Generally speaking, you bury the low mids and slam the upper mids, I think?

Pickup most important factors: Resonant peak, Q-factor and location of the pickup. That’s it.

Bass thoughts for today: I spent more on a compressor than I did on my bass because I know where real toan comes from and also I’m just starting and don’t have my bass legs yet so I need something to smooth things out. Although, I’ll probably just become dependent on compression oh well.

For punchier tone I play closer to the bridge. If I want a huge sound I play closer to the neck.

BrianRx posted:Looking online, the H-22 appears to out of production and difficult to find for sale. For anyone more knowledgeable than me, what would make that bass sound so much different than, say, a Fender Jazz bass? Any recommendations for something similar in the sub-$2000 range? Three things: 1) The pickup is very close to the neck. Pickups close to the neck tend to be bassier and "rounder." 2) The scale length of the bass is 30" as opposed 34". This, too, emphasizes a slightly deeper tone (as opposed to more mid-focused). 3) The pickup itself. Whatever it is, it has a specific resonant peak that emphasizes certain frequencies that you find contribute to this tone. edit: apparently the H22 pickup has a cult following.

Filling in, possibly permanently, in my friend’s punk band on bass. Very excited to play fast, loud aggressive music for slow, loud drunk people. Unironically. edit: First practice was super fun and I got to test my little HX Stomp XL + two QSC K10.2 powered speakers on bass with a full band, including two guitarists with jcm 800 half stacks. It held its own, I was very happy about that. Dang It Bhabhi! fucked around with this message at 06:57 on Mar 14, 2024 |

Man my only concern with that fix is the slots could wear down over time faster than a nut would on its own but I ain't no luthier. I'm more familiar with shimming to get the job done but I would love to learn more about something that is durable that you can just add to the slots.Shageletic posted:P bass is the way

Don Dongington posted:I've been considering grabbing a Joyo Voodoo Octave Fuzz to mess around with - if anyone has any experience with those I'd be keen to hear about it. At $65 AUD it's pretty enticing. It's an Octavia, right? They're sick. It's a pseudo octave up so it's narsty. It definitely is on my guitar.
