How to get tone in RHCP factory of faith? Did flea use any effects?

Hi all, I am new to bass effect. I just got a vt bass. My amp is a genz benz shuttle 3.0-10T cab or with ampeg SVT210AV cab. Should I connect the vt bass in the effect loop or before the amp? I found that I have so much gain that I need to either turn amp volume/gain down, or the level on...

EXACTLY! That's what happened to me! The thing is I am not even good at bass yet!

I got bass encyclomedia book but struggle to understand what those moveable box shapes trying to do. How do I make use of them? Am I suppose to practice playing them? Thanks.

Thanks for all the replies, it is encouraging. I can hear that I am off pitch and struggle to find the right pitch. I may take some lessons but not too worry at this stage as long as I still have hope in bass playing!

For some reason, I just struggle to sing in tune. It actually get worse after I started playing the bass guitar for some reason (well it may not be related). I have heard that bad singing is related to bad hearing. Is this true? Does it mean that I cannot be a good bass player? :scowl:

This is an interesting thread. I was in the same boat a few days ago when I was jamming with a few friends (some I have not played with before). The other players just pick up a song and play. No chord sheet, nothing at all. And I just sat there unable to play anything. The only one that I...

Thanks everyone, that makes sense. I am actually keen to use it as tone control but just wonder if I need another overdrive pedal. Seem like I don't for now . Thx again.

First of all, I am a newbie and have never used any effect pedal. I have been considering the tech 21 VT bass just to have a bit of fun and get some variation on tones. However, I see people use the VT bass with other pedals (such as overdrive etc). My question is - why do you need to use...

Just want to say thanks to Andy from Genz Benz (and others who have helped here) for sorting the problem out. The amp now fixed. I am so happy to be able get it working. I have heard a lot of good things about GB customer services in the past and this experience just confirms it. The amp is...

Thank you so much for your reply. I really didn't expect to hear from GB so quickly during holiday! I have PM'ed you. Yes, it does sounds like it. I was surpised that the speaker cable shell is actually one of the speaker terminal. I have now put a heat shrink around it to avoid the same...

Today my GB Shuttle 3 developed a loud pop during turn on and off when the amp enter and exit standby. I did not notice it before so I think it is new. I think I may accidentally touch the speaker terminal (the cable has a metal connector) with the guitar lead. I wonder if I have accidentally...

Thanks for your inputs, that sounds like a good choice for me.

Hi, Anyone tried usng Genz Benz Shuttle 3.0 head with Ampeg SVT210AV? Do they work well? How does it compare with the Shuttle 3-10T combo? Thanks.

Hi agedhorse, I did not realized that you are from Genz Benz. Thank you so much for chipping in. BTW, can you confirm that the 10inch extension cab is discontinued or is it still available?
