    About to Give Flats Another Try on My P Bass - La Bella DTF Content (+Chromes)

    I have Labella flats on two of my basses and they really sound more focused and fuller than rounds at least for my playing.

    DR Hi-beams...Tone Heaven

    I use several brands but on my 75 Avri Jazz Bass I love Fat Beams, sadly I switched to Hi Beams just a few days ago, what a disappointment, they sound present but cheap. I am definitively going back to Fat Beams.

    Timing Practice.

    Yes I know what you guys say, Any how don't get me wrong, I like to play with a feel when making music, I just do that other thing when practicing only and then I LOOK afterwards how it went, this practice routine quite has helped.

    Timing Practice.

    Playing against drums or machines practice. Lately I have been recording and practicing to play dead on the beat/grid, and I mean to the millisecond and less, inspecting the waveform on the recorded material. I focus mainly on the downbeats and 8th up beats. On the 16th up beats I admit I give...

    I Am absolute GARBAGE when recording.

    Make sure you are monitoring yourself properly, no delay compensation and those sort of things, those things when recording can really throw you off. Live monitor signal is a must. And then obviously playing it properly as stated before on some posts, but first make sure your monitoring chain...

    Humans with perfect internal tempo? Do they exist?

    I used to play live with a drum and a bass player that were pretty good, two consecutive night we multi track recorded those gigs to be mixed later on for promo stuff. So came the day to mix those shows. Me, guitar player ( I play Bass as well - no booing please ) and our singer were working...

    EHX Tri Parallel Mixer

    I just got this EH pedal. It arrived this morning, it is a great pedal. I was in doubt as some user reviews reported some clicking noises but I am sure is user error as this thing just works great. It has some combo keys to select several modes and I guess some people accidentally do this and...

    What kind of strings do you use?

    It really depends on the bass and the application ... for a 75 Jazz Bass I love Fat Beams 45-105 so I thought to try same set on a Stingray ... well they are not that great, that Stingray loves Labella Flats. I have two other precisions and they love Dadario XL, also Labella Flats.

    Some of the Best P Bass replacement pickup(s)

    I have a PV63 and a PV58 both pickups are awesome and so different. The PV63 is on an American Elite P that I turned passive, the ergonomics and wood resonance of that Bass is great but I wasn't happy with the active thing and installed the 63, great sounding P. The 63 works really well with...

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 8)

    I have two precisions … one has the pure vintage 63, a very well balanced pickup … On the other P which is an American Original 50s which has the 58 pickup … we’ll let me tell you … that pickup is what I think is what you are looking for … so raunchy. May be you can test that Precision 50s in...
