    Chris Squire sound from a pedal?

    I don't think any of the shhit mentioned itt this matters; I think his right hand technique is what mattered You have to do borderline pinch harmonics on every note to get that super overtone-y sound, and once you can riff with that technique you can dial in your mid highs and highs to...

    bass amps and "color"

    Yeah, hard to stay objective in a thread about amp color. I stand by what I said and I mean it when I say the sound that comes out sounds like the bass that's plugged in; my reference for this is the fact that I can plug 4 different basses in to my mesa bass 400+ and they all sound really really...

    bass amps and "color"

    I got a Quilter bass block 800 and so far it's the most transparent thing I've ever heard in the sense that it sounds like whatever you plug in to it. Despite the contour knobs, it truly lets the characteristics of the instrument shine through at any setting.

    Question about timing

    I'm sure most everyone stops subdividing actively after a few years studying music. However, an instance where I do find myself subdividing is in and around any tempo change situations. It makes it much much more cohesive when everyone is mentally subdividing during a decellerando or even a...

    what other instruments do you play, and how do they affect your bass playing?

    So true about the interactions between instruments. I feel like many composers starting out get stuck on what an instrument can do on paper, so they just write a blob of notes that might in theory work and be playable and may even be interesting in a vacuum, but doesn't necessarily fit in with...

    what other instruments do you play, and how do they affect your bass playing?

    Violin is my other "main", so I play way too much melodic material and can't sit still on a groove. I don't bother looking for people to play with because I know I'm insufferable :roflmao:

    Are You A Brand Loyalist?

    Haven't read the thread, just replying to OP: Yes, I'm a brand loyalist on two fronts; I have two '80's Yamaha BB's (400 and 1600), an 810E, a Mesa Bass 400+, and a Quilter Bass Block 800. I've never met an 80's BB that I wouldn't buy given the owner would let go. I've never met a Quilter...
