After a few weeks of tweaking, randomly conecting stuff and fooling around, here's what I managed to set up as what I believe is my dream tone: Guitar ---> whammy 4 --dry signal-->MXR blowtorch --->Sansamp RBI---->TE gp12smx (300w)--->TE 1048h --wet signal from whammy-->DOD Juice box...

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I know this thread is ultra old, but it's one of the top three or so that come up when you google "charles mingus moanin music sheet". There's everything you need to improv' to that song.

Man, first fretless basses steals girlfriends, now this... Seems a fretless will do so much harm to my hearing, my playing, all those new possibilities, that beautifull tone...Why would anybody want that kind of instruments then ? What evil mastermind invented those instruments?

How about this one ? Good/bad ?

So I see, most of you advise me to buy a guitar a little bit off the budget I can justify spending on a fretless :) I think I'll go with the VM Squier, as far as tone goes I'd like more of a Jaco sound and I think a Jazz Bass would be the way to go. Plus : if I ever stick to fretless and...

Well, for starters, I thought there would be a great deal of cons regarding fretless basses. Since nobody pointed anything out, even better, that It could actually improve my playing, well, I think I'll just get that bass next week :) I'm not sure about that lined/unlined thing...It seems a...

I've done some quick research, just to be sure and I don't know, The Police work seems to be not succesfull enough for me :D

Ok, so none of you guys convinced me into NOT buying a fretless. What are your thoughts on those VM Squiers Jazz bass ?

Here's the drill : I have some cash to spend on stupid stuff, my main target is a second bass, a cheap one, so I can leave my main bass at the studio and don't have to carry it around all the time, just so I can practice at home. I want it to be fretless... Why shouldn't I buy one (knowing...

Ok, so apperently the guys at the store I usually buy strings and stuff had a set like this because it was "custom" made by that luthier for a friend of mine (i forgot that he plays a 5 strings tuned one step lower), so that set may work in that case, but I trust you guys know best what to do...

So I see :) I've changed the strings earlier today, spent almost an hour playing. Those Prosteels are indeed an improvement...But it's still not what I wanted. At least as it goes for tension... And what if i went stright into something like this : 65 85 105 125 145 A Polish...

I lurked a bit on their website, they seem to have some pretty interesting stuff...Unfortunately, I live in Poland, so it's going to be a pain in the ass to find a dealer nearby. It's hard to buy anything that isn't a world renown brand...And waiting for something to be shipped to me never was...

Isn't that Justin Chancellor of Tool who uses both in the studio and on stage a guitar cab ( Marshall 4x12, no idea which speakers in it) ? I was actually thinking about using that sort of setup for my next recording session. The band I'll have in the studio have already done some recording in...

I forgot to mention : my guitar players use drop tunings...I leave the bass in a standard tuning (B E A D G ) :)

Judging by the manufacturer's informations, this Prosteel set should have a few pounds LESS tension on the G and D strings, lamost 10 more on the A string, around one pound less on the E and about the same tension on the B string than the set I'm actually using. As I said, I try to appraoch...
