But you really shouldn't use a pedal like a TU-2 to do intonation. It just isn't accurate enough. But apparently that Sonic Research one is much more accurate, so it would be appropriate. Most respectable techs will use a actual high end strobe tuner to intonate.

I think if that's what you have it will get the job done if your on a budget. I bought a peterson strobo-flip some time back for better setups, it works ok. It's a slight learning curve from using a tu-2 for so long.

More info on this jamtrack? Existing music or are you programming drums or something? I use a ton of different programs messing around.

Btw love reaper too, might be able to suggest something more specialized though depending on what you're doing.

Lazarus.Bird · #**763** 12-17-2012, 04:17 PM

Haha I use my Korg CA-30 for intonation... just saying its not ideal.

I've been trying to make a jamtrack for myself but I've ended up creating a pretty monstrous cluster**** in the process.

What happened to that super-awesome Rat King you had a while ago?

Hi, welcome! I agree with what's already been said, Reaper is a very good option for a free DAW. Good quality, relatively easy to use, plenty of decent VST based plug-ins available free or cheap.

Pretty much. But hey what showmanship he didn't miss a beat.

The Korg Pitchblack is my second favorite, big easy to read display, and tracks a low F without using harmonics, no other tuners I've owed do that...even the sonice reseach...again sometimes too acurate

I use the Korg Pitchblack too and I`m completely happy with it. I tune down to C with no problem in tracking.

Nolifer · #**768** 12-17-2012, 04:43 PM

Thanks for the welcomes!
I've downloaded an evaluation version of Reaper but I think I'll try to make use of it on a later project.

Stopped by Fuller's vintage guitars today. Had some sweet grestch basses and 2 dusty hill p basses. All sounded great especially the dusty hill basses. Also played a uke bass… ridiculous…ly awesome. It sounded HUGE. Sounded like a double bass. Seriously, if you guys get a chance play one do it.

Nope, sorry, I bailed on social networked a couple years ago. I did go onto the Dunwich Amps FB page and look at the other pics though.

I want that black and maple single coil precision. If it were the walnut stain looking type...I might asking you for their phone number right now. honestly, I have never played one, I just love the way they look. I could make it sound good, for that level of mojojojo.

I've got my eye on it, plus all your sh*t just looks super cool, so I look at that page at least once a day.

**LOCOPELAND** · #**774** 12-17-2012, 05:08 PM

Speaking of P basses, I played a Squier VM the other day. Great sounding, great feeling. I could definitely see myself owning one.

HydrasBreath · #**775** 12-17-2012, 05:11 PM

I've always wanted some kind of P bass. I love the sound of a nice P but I can never get along with their necks.

+1.

I can totally see my next bass being a custom P from Warmoth.

Jazz neck, blocks/maple. red p black guard. cream pickup covers. bridge cover. mmmm. thanks for the gas.

It would have to be under 8lbs though. Closer to 7, the better.

Niff · #**777** 12-17-2012, 05:37 PM

i can see my next bass being a short scale SG bass with a rick bridge pup, and the one after that being an old school Epiphone Rivoli for that delicious semi-hollow Animals tone that QOTSA shamelessly rip off. heeell yeah.

one of my band-friends has a black 70s P with lindy fralin pickups in it - godlike P tone. it used to have EMGs which were quite unpleasant.

Welcome! That rat king was pretty awesome. Although it was just a standard RK that I had Ry add a clean blend on to it. I unfortunately had to sell it as I was pretty much unemployed at the time. After a ton of testing and A/B'ing with my other Rats I found that even though the added features were cool I just used my other two Rats more and it didn't make sense to have 3 rats. Now that I'm employed again one he first things I did was order the demon king (custom color, clean blend, and had the footswitch order switched) since I liked that RK so much I wanted some of the same features but with a different sound so the DK seemed like a good option for it. I'm stoked for it.

Remember how we were talking about doing a Dropbox thing for tunes to share?

In about an hour I'll be posting the first one. I figure I can do this once a week for you guys to grab some stuff.

This week

-Sleep
-Om
-Truckfighters
-Elder
-Clutch

Some essential bands everyone in here should check out (or own).

demon666 · #**780** 12-17-2012, 05:56 PM

On a side note I got an SVT-3pro in trade so I'm gonna go check that out tonight through the rig. I don't really have high hopes but we'll see. Also I'll be getting my Acoustic 450 back finally and dropping off the Traynor tomorrow. It's good to have amps again.
