The iOS bass player thread, PART II. (Jamup XT, Audiobus, Multitrack DAW and more)

[adambomb]

I'll take a wild guess because I'm hearing it through my iPhone speakers right now.....the hiwatt

[Rip Topaz]

I can't accurately guess because I don't have all the proper information. Duke has ALL the addons in Jamup, including the guitar stuff (most of which I have never heard).

That said, Marshall.

[AaronMB]

Rip claimed the Marshall, so I'll take a stab at the Red, with a touch of SANSAMP presence? (Be kind, I'm a rookie and have little basis for comparison!) My excuse will be ignorance and laptop speaker.

[adambomb]

I was also thinking the red because we have been talking it up so much and guy really hasnt had too many clips with the red. but i took a wild guess with the hiwatt because we know he loves to try out the guitar amps (like rip said he has all the add ons)...or maybe the mesa 20/20. I'm probably way off

Check Sweetwater, still $99

What amp did you use? Can you tell us a bit more about the project?

You came quite close!



I do not have all in app purchases in Jamup, yet.....
But was curios about the Metal Zone pedal as it has mids control. I think it gave the redhead some nice touch of OD muscle.

Well, you know me well!! I love the Marshall! But I wanted to take the kindest amp and give it a boost!


How is your shape? I guess still lots of pain?

[Rip Topaz]

Oh yeah. The last 36 hours have been the most PAIN I've seen in my life!! This has been the worst of the surgeries so far.
Can't wait to see what they do next!!

[Duke21]

Where is your injury? And how did you get it? Lifting 8x10" Ampegs??
I really hope this period will pass fast for you. I never sustained any serious injuries even though I did/ do some serious mountain biking and lots of roller skiing.
I broke/ fractured my ribs several times and got my shoulder dislocated. The last one is the worst I had. Took me almost a year to get the shoulder close to 90-95% OK.
Fractured ribs are only 3 weeks of easier training and then all is OK.

My injury is in my lower back, initially disc L5/S1. Unfortunately, the fusion to fix it was botched, and after several other attempts to relieve the pain from the original injury, the decision was made to instal a device called a Spinal Cord Stimulator.
I had nothing but problem with the device since day one. Within six months of installing it, my body rejected it and it had to be moved to my abdomen.
Two weeks after it was moved, the battery in my abdomen flipped over!! Another surgery repaired it.

After that it never worked right again. So on Wednesday it was removed by the new group of surgeons. Unfortunately, there was a complication because scar tissue has pretty much cemented the leads attached to my spine between my shoulder blades, and they were forced to cut through the muscles in my upper back to remove the leads.

I can't raise my arms above my head at all, and every movement this morning feels like I'm being completely ripped in half.

Imagine being drawn and quartered, and they quit halfway through.

[Rip Topaz]

Oh, and here's the funny thing. I originally injured it lifting a Crate amp, because as I was unloaded a shipment at the GC I was working, I came across an amp I assumed would be very light.

Crate amps are notoriously lightweight crap, and I saw the logo on the box, the size of the box, and figured it would weigh 25 pounds, tops.

Oops!! That particular Crate amp was a brand new (that year) TUBE model, and it weighed about three times what I was expecting.

Everyone in a fifteen foot radius heard the disc pop. Yet my bosses accused me of faking it and made me work through it, until six months later I was caught using Percocet to get through my day.

The whole thing was a workers compensation NIGHTMARE.

Could not happen in Norway, the boss could never force you to work.

[Rip Topaz]

There were a million things done wrong in my case, from the bosses accusing me of faking it, to the workers compensation people who made it impossible for me to even see a doctor for almost six months (they actually followed me and cancelled my appointments, and told the doctors I couldn't pay), to the "surgeons" who botched every single surgery.

Thankfully, a new group of doctors is working on me now, but they've got their work cut out for them, since they've gotta fix all the damage that the other group caused!!

Luckily your iPhone 4S will not damage your back!!
Are you able to play bass now?

Otherwise, as you have seen, I've tried the Redhead with the Metal Zone distortion in front. The Metal one seem to be quite interesting for bass as the mids sweep knob is going from 200hz to 1000hz. Seem to work nice with the SWR and gives us additional adjustments regarding the mids due to the para EQ on the mids.

I tried last night. Actually had to drag it across the floor to my seat, couldn't lift it. When I got to my chair, lifting it to playing position was depressingly painful.

I'm still VERY sore. After playing about three notes, I realized that I wasn't ready.

Hopefully later today I'll be able to try again. Right now the pain is so intense that I'm sitting here perfectly still and breaking a sweat!!

[Rip Topaz]

I was wondering about the Metal Zone pedal. With the EQ options , it should be awesome on bass. Any low end loss?

I will made a clip later where I'll be switching between with and without the pedal so you could hear it
It have more lows then a tube screamer. Not sure about the Rat. Probably not as much as lows as the BDDI.

[Rip Topaz]

Hmm. I'm sure there's a way we can make it work for bass!!
