Hi all, sorry to revive this thread but I'm looking to do the same thing (silent band rehearsals) and was looking at the Zoom Livetrak and some analog options (mixer with aux outputs + headphone amp with "more me" functions). Any feedback on the Livetrak and how it might compare with the...

Btw that's a pretty elaborate setup. All that just to amp your headphones?

Thanks man. I actually hauled my bass all the way to the shop today, which was a bit far, and tried out the Audio Technica M30, M40fs, M50 and the Beyer DT770s. I have to say the volume was quite a bit lower on the DT770s, but they really blew the other headphones out of the water in terms of...

Awww, no one?

Hey dude I just saw this thread. I posted one on pretty much the same topic earlier. Did you find a suitable pair of headphones in the end?

Hello, I'm looking for a pair of high quality headphones to use for practicing through my Vox Amplug (Bass). I'd get some high-impedence HPs but I'm a bit doubtful as to whether or not the Amplug will be able to drive something like the Beyer DT770s, which seem quite popular. Does anyone have...

Hey thanks. Now I know I can stop trying to get my J-Bass to sound like that.

You know, in the audio recordings that come with Slap It!?

I am working my way through Oppenheim's Slap It and am wondering how exactly you are supposed to play the two-note "chords". The only way I can get a good tone from slapping both of them is lower my right hand so that my thumb is more or less pointing at the ceiling when I hit the strings (D and...

Tks for the encouragement. I am working various left-hand techniques like muting and ghost notes and whatnot. But I just can't seem to get the definition in the groove. It's like my bass (J Bass MIA 2006) is drunk and slurring. I'm just wondering to what extent this is my playing and to what...

Am trying to learn how to play Chicken. The notes are not a problem. But it doesn't sound like Jaco (surprise surprise) in terms of getting the groove "texture". I guess that comes with years of playing and feeling. Specifically, when he hits the low F, he makes the note swell up and fade...

Bohemian Rhapsody. I don't particularly like it, but it did leave me speechless...

Ok let me be more precise. I don't think it's a harmonic cuz harmonics are usually quite high pitched. It basically sounds like a normal note, except it cuts out really sharp, bright and fast, like the string just broke or something. You also hear it in the chorus of Come on, Come over. Is...

Ok thanks man. And hell yeah Red is an awesome album. I just wish we had a melotron!

BTW, what do you call this technique?
