Eh, my opinion. The import was lighter which was a plus for me. Honestly I found the sound to be punchier. And in a mix, I truly believe 99.9% of people would never be able to tell which one was the "expensive" bass. Upgrade the electronics and even fewer. Sure if I had the money I'd buy...

This is a great thread and nice to hear I'm not the only one who thought the little $300 bass sounded wicked sweet. I would even go so far as to say I thought the SUB Ray "cheapy" felt AND sounded better than the $1500 EBMM. I'm currently putting my Ibanez SR 1005EFM from '06 up for sale then...

Yes powerful active like sound = high gain/input. I'm bad with words haha. But thanks 2 fingers, ill have to check that out. I have a fender strat with that in it, 3 single coils tho that u can hum buck together and get crazy range of sounds. Didn't know any basses picked that idea up...

Currently at a gig at a spot I loathe here in fairfax VA and yet again I am struck by a smooth criminal: Narly static interference. Now, I've been told it doesn't particularly matter if its active or not, but not from my experience. It seems everywhere I go I have a different issue of...

Anyone know of any websites or anything where you can find some simple like 3 or 4 chord jazz loops, even just guitar chords, to work on creating walking lines within the keys and working on effectively using chromatic and diatonic leading notes and more so to just creatively screw around. I...

Lately I've been messing with how I play as I am now playing in a new band which is much more calmer than my previous punk band and I really am working the fretboard more and getting into chords in songs as I play now with an acoustic guitar, 2 vocals and a 2-piece drummer with only hi-hat and...

Personally I tend to feel certain techniques really come natural to different people. I for one have always had such ease with 3 finger playing, however I am still desperately struggling with getting my up-down thumb crap together after months of practice. That being said to the OP and...

I vote real. There are kats out there who are that...bad. And don't get good cooperation In music.

Wow thanks for all the tips, its great cuz i never have used a pedal for bass. Always been keen to a straight clean sound playing just punk and christian contemporary. Getting in funk and more experimental stuff now so expanding my play. I appreciate the tips, ill have to check out the...

Hey all, I recently have been doing some work and playing around with my fathers new digitech bass multi effects box (which I hate) but I have found a lot of fun (and use) with the wah pedal. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good wah pedal for live use. Are there any that...

Where at in VA are you located? Rehearsal wise...

Buddy Legs Jones at your service!

What is really sad is that a lot of people really believe this. Why do you need more to be in a band? If ur 1x15 has a di out ur solid for any size venue lol. When will people realize gear does not equal talent. this is really funny but also sad cuz it's an all too often post on CL lol.
