Joe Dart, the bassist is so damn funky, its ridiculous

catching up a bit. While they are clearly very talented, something is missing, a little too tight and clean I think. I much prefer Vulfpek.

edit: man it is so much easier to hear the bass in funk, if only...

Thanks I'm really looking forward to getting it. That plus I have an Orange AD200B on the way as well. Really pumped to get to try that out. I'll probably get two OBC115s to go with it eventually too.

Just playing Saturday morning catch-up(prior to various home improvement projects), now that I can listen (not at work).
Corey Y- Wow, really like! Nice work.

Haha. I love seeing 115s that weigh more than my 215

Yeah I hear the Orange cabs are pretty beastly. Should be easier than moving my 810AV that I have now though. That thing's a b**** to get up/down my steep basement stairs.

@bassboysam

just checked out your guys' bandcamp. Sweet stuff! I just bought both your albums.

The_Janitor · #**929** 11-17-2012, 08:53 AM

GOOD MORNING! Crashed out early last night, beer and band practice made me sleepy. Getting ready for a day of hiking and an evening of drinking with a old friend. Today is going to be alright.

thanks man!

Corey, that track sounds great, and the mix between guitar and bass is right where I like it.

The_Janitor · #**932** 11-17-2012, 09:21 AM

Corey - the track sounds great! I'd totally play drums on that ****.

Well......

There are probably too many to list but these are the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

Bluebeard
Grey Stache
Supercollider
Tall Font Russian
Pharaoh
Box of War

Sam Beat me to it. I would start with a Grey Stache or a Bluebeard... They seem to get the most love in this thread, but the Tall Font Russian, and Box of War have pretty solid followings as well, and to the best of my knowledge are variants of the same circuit.. Not sure what circuit the Pharoh or Supercollider is based on but I think the Supercolliders can get pretty beastly from what I've seen online.

-> Awesome Corey... very full, lots of low end.

Also have some Jam-Time scheduled with my drummer buddy tomorrow while my lady is out of the house... AND it looks like I'll be making it out to OM & Dan Higgs Friday! Also, thanks for the Holly Hunt.. Band sounds sweet..

TDSLaBassiste · #**934** 11-17-2012, 10:00 AM

Thanks guys, I'll check out Bluebeard, I've heard some clips and it sounds pretty nice.

Semi-related: Anyone ever use that Sunn Preamp pedal? I think it was called Eclipse, but I may be wrong. I just remember it was supposed to emulate the sound of a Sunn head, including the fuzz. Any idea what I'm talking about?

My solution was to get a different animal entirely.

I also found it far too uncontrollable. I like a more rounded, focused fuzz on bass and you just don't get that with a Muff. I could see it being useful in the studio, but not so much live.

In way other news, I just cannot stop listening to Porcupine Tree lately. Again.

The_Janitor · #**937** 11-17-2012, 10:27 AM

I use the EHX BBM. I've been struggling to find a useable tone from it. Blend, normal, bass boost, all sort of meh. I gave up getting a thick fuzz out of it and decided to use it for low-gain grit, but even that it just kind of mushy and farty. My black NYC muff sounded better, even though it cut low end.

Sadly, I actually prefer the ODB-3. That should tell you something about the BBM.

I think that having an old Big Box Muff is kind of a right of passage, Hell, Cliff used one and it sounded awesome... then again it sounds best during the solo, when there's nothing else happening... I had the pi, and it didn't do it for me.. I still found myself getting drowned out in a mix.. A lot of people have modified the muff circuit(s) over the years... I'm currently using a Monolith

Lodestone... I partially bought it just for the sake of owning a monolith that actually got completed. However, it has been my favorite muff variant to date, from what adam, who owned it previously, said it's fairly close to the coveted bluebeard. I think any muff is going accentuate more of the higher frequencies than the lows, but I have found a lot of flexibility in the lodestone by tweaking the Tone and Fuzz settings and using the Volume to maintain unity. I think some of the Grey Staches have some options / mods which probably makes them that much more versatile...

Nice Family pic man. I think I will just keep an eye out for a good deal on both parts and basses that are almost there. I should pick up a soldering gun and start practicing to be my own pickup pit crew.

Of those, what do you like playing the most?

Corey Y · #**940** 11-17-2012, 12:42 PM

Thanks for all the positive feedback on that song you guys. I'm pushing myself to keep working on it and get it completely finished.

I got in a cheap pickguard and pickup yesterday that I bought on ebay, so I can piece together the Squier Precision parts I have laying around. The jack that was already wired up broke, but a friend was nice enough to solder a new one on for me. I just need to get the tuners on and string it up. I'm probably just going to sell it on CL, the parts have been gathering dust long enough.
