It's a mic'd up Ampeg BA115 (with a chorus pedal in front of it) : I put reverb on the track afterwards but not specifically on the bass. Thanks for the feedback :)

Thanks! Ha, it's British born and bred :) ...It's me singing/synth & bass (as well as the mixing and introducing my guitarist to effects pedals - probably a bad mistake!)

I recommend a P-bass - perhaps a Squier if the cost is a concern. Personally I find putting a wadge of foam under the strings and the bridge helps add more of that 'thump' that you find in reggae. That and learn your basic major/minor triads and *bam* = INSTANT reggae vibe :)

It's all about right angles between the pick and the string, if you can beg/borrow/steal a n electric guitar and learn to strum some chords with a pick: it will make your picking hand more fluid and natural - something that certainly benefited my picking technique! Good luck,

Hey, I've just started recording some cover songs, the first ( of hopefully many) being at 'Tonight, Tonight' [Smashing Pumpkins Cover] - YouTube I'd appreciate any feedback or advice on how to improve my recordings in the future from you TB'ers Thanks in advance,

@iamthebassman ...They're all pretty similar, the neck pickup is marginally louder : how would I check the output jack? It's been back to the shop once where they gave it a look over and said it was fine :/ but it still doesn't sound quite right to me :(

Nothing wrong with a Bronco bass IMHO, I couldn't find fault with the one I played...and it's cheap enough that if he doesn't take to Bass (and if he does they're meant to withstand a fair bit of punishment) - then you wont have spent too much cash...Personally I'd rather go for the...

Second on the Jaguar bass...no-one who picks mine up can ever get their heads round the switches and knobs. Also, it's not a bass but the old Vox organ guitars are very knob-heavy... Redirect Notice

Hey all, I've had my Gretsch Jet Baritone for the last half a year, and have persistent problems with it being very low volume output, furthered by the fact that it's impossible on this model to raise the Humbuckers any closer to the strings...anyone else have volume issues with this or anyother...

Hey, I've been looking into the Squier Mustang bass...it all looks sound hardware wise, but part of the aesthetic appeal of Mustangs for me has been the 'racing stripe'. My question is...is the stripe on the Mustangs painted on...is there anywhere where one can buy a stripe to add to the...

Thanks, that's really helpful, I'll report bass when I'm with the Gretsch :D

Hey, I've been flicking through this thread recently and I hope to be the proud-owner of a Gretsch Baritone by the end of the month... I was hoping someone might be able to suggest some songs to play/learn to help me adjust to the 6-string bass from a 4-string bass background?!
