    Making a bass sound like a not-bass, but what should that sound be?

    Let's say a keyboardist has a really cool bass synth patch to use for a song and suggests that you still do something for the song. just use pedals to act as a synthy, swirly, blarey, or whatever sound effect. Hypothetically, you play no other instrument. What pedal combo would you go for?

    You play loud, then you play quieter, and it repeats for that time for until the next time of a loud sound, depending on how loud you set loud to be.

    Emulating a clavinet with bass guitar

    Without having any of the things around to experiment myself, my starting point would be some sort of drive, an EQ, and a compressor.

    What's the formula for subdivision given tempo, time signature, and milliseconds?

    The Memory Boy does not have a tap tempo. Therefore, you gotta do math to get dotted eighths. What's the formula?

    Signal join as a side effect and not the main purpose?

    Before I traded away my RV-6, I was a bit sad to learn that you can't use it as an incidental signal joiner; one signal will be normal, the other with dry killed. Is there a stereo pedal that incidentally works as a signal joiner, assuming you're using a single output?

    Foot-controlled bass questions: Yamaha Reface YC

    A Reface can be controlled with an external MIDI controller; the manual says so (and Yamaha probably doesn't like getting sued). There exist MIDI bass pedals. Does it follow that you can play bass with such a controller and a Reface? Even better: your hands (hopefully) aren't doing anything...

    Feeling discouraged concerning playing with others.

    I want to play with others now (obviously not *now now* but you know what I mean) but I have tenuous plans to leave my state when I'm done with college on the basis of career. It feels like a waste to build something that won't last over two years, but I feel like it would be worse to wait. What...

    What to cook your band members for dinner?

    If given that one's band buddies are driving to your place, then one can't serve beer. Cheetos and greasy finger foods that soil the fingers are also in poor taste to serve. What's some foods that are especially practice-worthy? Assume a full meal.

    How to use delay on bass without sounding like mud?

    Here's a corresponding question: I also have a Canyon. Other delay settings don't do this to me, but I have an incredibly hard time having decent timing if I use the octave mode that doesn't happen to me if I use other settings that sound more like the original signal. Does anyone have a remedy...

    The mute piece of gear: a video camera

    I want to record me and the boys playing music in my space. I don't want anything fancy, I just don't want to look like I travelled from 2007 when recording home performances. Also, how does audio sync with video when you've got a line out?
