It's too hard to make money doing this...I gave up at that lol. I'm kinda introverted but also agreeable so I can fit in pretty well with anyone, tho a good hang is nice, too; sometimes it seems like my entire social life is just comprised of my family and bands I play in. So for me, the most...

I've been thinking about getting one and setting it as a "scooped slap tone override" kinda thing, so I can just jump right into that from my normal mids-heavy fingerstyle tone.

Kind of a dumb question but, is the switch loud? I had a Carcosa for awhile and the switch was really loud.

Great player and singer! RIP. He always had cool basses, too.

When I was younger I played octaves with my index and ring fingers but over time I've switched to using my index and pinky instead. It just feels stronger and nimbler. I even do power chords on the guitar that way sometimes, too.

If these were passive and the headstock was reverse I'd be tempted by the green one.

Check out The Dirtbombs. Turn of the millenium garage-rock revival but with a Detroit soul edge, and there's two bass players: one on, uh, regular bass, and the other on fuzz bass. It actually works pretty well. Also two drummers sometimes I think?

I've only used the BOD, so correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't a second sub-octave be of little use with bass guitar, unless you were playing way way high up the neck? Or is it just for adding a touch of deep rumble?

Dunno if these would be tough to source, but how about an 8-string/4-course set? Regular EAD and G strings, then the second course/octave A and D strings, tuned up a step.

PJ Jazz, very cool! The only thing that kinda puts me off these is the headstock.

Sorry to derail slightly but can I get any more info on the Orange Juice/Burst pedals from y'all who suggested them? I always suspected those might be good for bass since they have a 2 band EQ. Oh and to contribute to the thread, Behringer Vintage Phaser is a solid no frills knock off. Just...

Satin is cool but ya gotta love that mint, and it looks great with the blonde neck. Maybe a clear guard would make the burst a little prettier tho?

His playing may not be "great", and he does sometimes play pretty simply, depending on the song, but he also has some really creative, lyrical parts; "Something" and "Penny Lane" come to mind for me.

Maybe Stevie Wonder? Child star in the 60s, by the 70s he's making super ambitious art-prog-RnB, then even stuck around into the 80s for "Master Blaster" n such.

Both people really have to want the same thing out of the situation or it just won't work. It's hard to find that balance, but it's necessary.
