just a feeling I got, I feel like most people who gig out there use it to help them keep their dynamics from getting out of control I also feel like it's esp helpful for slappers and poppers.. to maintain better volume when switching between s/p and finger plucking

Do most of you have compression pedals out there? I feel that a compression pedal is essential, but maybe I am mistaken. If so, what kind of compression/limiter equipment do you have, and do you like it? edit: to clarify, I don't have one but am considering that my next purchase

are you volunteering? I can offer $10/lesson, and maybe 2% of flight costs :)

question is - if I've been playing a certain way for 5.5 years, how do I play differently now? Also where can I learn about differing my finger techniques to produce different tones? From a completely amateur viewpoint... it all looks the same: two fingers alternating and plucking a string...

thanks for the advice. I'm willing to accept that it's my fault and not my equipment that I'm not getting the tone I want (playing technique). I have tried a few different strings, but none really helped. Sorry I got a bit worked up, bad day at work today. But nevertheless, I was hoping...

I need to just buy the whole wall of strings and try them out one month. It's such a slow process to find strings you like...

You know, while I appreciate your help and time to answer my thread, being condescending doesn't really do anyone any favors here. I'm sorry I don't remember the size of the speakers in my cab right now, although I'm 95% sure they're 10". I honestly don't see why that automatically means that...

because of my bass, my amp, or my speaker? I have fairly low end equipment right now, but I do have some money to spend. I'm trying to figure out if I should replace my bass or my equipment first: Bass: MusicMan SUB head: Ashdown Mag300H cab: Avatar 2x10" (MAYBE 15" I can't remember now)...

I was hoping to get some opinions and advice :)

I've been playing bass for almost 4 years, but sadly I have hardly practiced any slap bass. Even though the styles I like to play don't have much slap, it's good to add it to my bag of tricks. When I play slap, I think I've formed a bad habit of resting my thumb on the E or A string when I go...

I can't get the link or the PDF to work correctly :(

Thanks =)

Yeah but if you have the envelope filter adjusted so it's very subtle, it's plausible isn't it?

For example, in the bass solo in "Naked in the Rain" where you can clearly hear his tone, it has a very distinct growl/crunch to it and it is almost comparable slapping but obviously not near as much attack. It's hard for me to describe in words the way it sounds, but what gives him this tone...
