    Who played the 4001 Rick with 3 P-pick ups in serial (I'm blanking on the name)

    It had three split coils, like right out of a P-bass in a row where the ones on Lemmy's bass were.

    Who played the 4001 Rick with 3 P-pick ups in serial (I'm blanking on the name)

    Hey Talk-bass community This is driving me crazy. There was a desert rock/stoner metal type band who had a bassist that played a 4001 Rick with 3 P Pickups in it in serial. Does anyone know who the band/player is? I'm blanking. Thanks

    Anyone using Th-U? Share your amp sim recipes with me

    I've been mixing some 2017 studio sessions and the various amp sims have been really helpful - I apply it to the bass bus which includes both the DI track and amp tracks. Sometimes I leave the mic track raw and blend it w/ the amp sim DI being dominant. On guitars, I apply the amp sim to the...

    Club RickenFaker / FakenBacker - Show Your Fake Rics!

    Here's my finished Ali Baba neck through bass which you can see in it's earlier form here I wanted to give it a Pistachio kind of theme, since it's a big part of my favorite deserts and my culture. The push pull Nordy pickups and gold Warwick bridge came from Talkbass community advice. I use it...

    Help me optimize my signal chain (PBASS RME, DBX, Strymon Deco)

    The Active DI has an XLR out but it needs phantom power so I have it plugged into my Babyface. It does have a 1/4" through output that is available. I suggested using that to feed the DBX. I usually plug my Strymon in first because it's easiest. It would probably make more sense to switch it...

    Help me optimize my signal chain (PBASS RME, DBX, Strymon Deco)

    I'm trying to use my favorite gear in a signal chain and my DBX168a comp only takes XLRs. Here's how I have it plugged in: Pbass - 1/4" to xlr- DBX comp-xlr to 1/4" - Strymon Deco Tape Sat/Flange - Active DI - Babyface That gets it all in one track. Another option I was thinking was Pbass...

    Music Man sound and pickups

    I'm working on a rick inspired parts-bass, I've presently got the body and a Warwick bridge. I want to use it for a modern rock/funk sound so I was thinking of putting in a Nordstrand MM style quad-coil pickup in the MM position, with a toggle switch. I was thinking of adding a nordenbacker...

    "slappa da bass" cliche origins are as lame as the phrase

    I don't blame it on US centricity. I'm from NYC, I've lived in Boston & Philly. If you're from any place with a large Caribbean diaspora, you will know that's how Jamaicans literally refer to their own dialect. Patois. I get that there's a French origin, and b/c of that it's probably also an...

    "slappa da bass" cliche origins are as lame as the phrase

    LOL I appreciate the defense. I'm originally from NYC, and the Caribbean immigrants there also refer to it as Patois. In fact the dialect is referred to ocally in Jamaica as Patois - truly Google is a great resource. (Jamaican Patois - Wikipedia). Also that Das Racist song... they're from...

    "slappa da bass" cliche origins are as lame as the phrase

    and just to be clear - I have no bad feelings for any of you fellow forum users. Don't feel like I'm casting a judgement on you, my issue is with these norms

    "slappa da bass" cliche origins are as lame as the phrase

    Hey my guy @MattZilla! Patois is the generally accepted term. I'm out in Toronto, where there's a huge diaspora, and you can bet people call it Patois. Check out the Das Racist song Fake Patois, kind of sums up my feelings. I guess with the movie, I was always wondering why the line came out...
