    I took a listen to the tunes. from what I hear from the song goat, it sounds like a tube overdriven sound. give this patch a try and see if it works out for you. dyn comp: sence: 2, attack: fast, tone: 40, level: 90 ba tsdrv: gain: 25, tone: 50, level: 70, blend: 50 bass driver: bass: 50...

    It was a pretty good bass combo. it had a nice big sound. I use to own one and now I own a hartke lh500 bass head. great sounding bass head. I play it through a 1x15 cab and it sounds phenomenal.

    Owning 5+ basses is like owning a dog

    If you ask me, keep the basses you like the best and sell the ones you don't play anymore. that way, you don't have to worry about hauling a lot of basses and buying too many bass strings. I own 4 myself and I enjoy each one. I do find it kinda odd that you compare to owning 5+ basses to that of...

    Best gear purchase of the pandemic (...or even 2020)

    I've recently purchased a darkglass microtubes x and it sounds totally awesome. I do like the metallic versatility it provides. it can go from a thick heavy distortion to a bright punchy drive. at a certain setting, I can get a sound that closely resembles an ibanez pd-7. only less noisy than...

    Here's a new patch idea I came up with. this patch is a double feature. these patches closely duplicates the retro beefy tones of a gallien-krueger legacy amp. one has a clean punchy sound and the other has a crunchy overdriven sound. great patches for the gk fan in mind. Legacy punch znr...

    Bartolini active/passive push/pull: No passive tone control??

    I usually don't make demo clips on youtube, but I'll see what I can do when I get the bartolini preamp and pickups. my other choice for a new preamp would be a darkglass tone capsole.

    omg I remember celine dion and anastacia's cover of ac/dc's you shook me all night long. that was horrible. it's like seeing 2 drunk aunts ruining a birthday party. embarrassing.

    Mariah Carey’s secret 90s alt rock project

    Huh, I've never heard about this before. maybe it's better than that atrocious cover she did of def leppard's bringing on the heartbreak. don't get me started on how terrible that was. my brother and I were making fun of that cover for weeks at one point. he found it hilarious and terrible at...

    Bartolini active/passive push/pull: No passive tone control??

    That's pretty cool that you're putting a bartolini preamp in your bass. I plan to get one myself for one of my basses. I plan to get the ntmb preamp. I also plan to get bartolini pickups. I was inspired by a couple youtube clips on those pickups and preamps and I am immediately impressed with...
