    How do buffered pedals and dedicated buffers work?

    Now that you mention it, I have not. The cable that goes off of the Ditto Looper and into the amp is a 20ft Fender cable. From the looper to the MojoMojo which is the first pedal on the chain are 3 PlanetWaves patch cables, an EVH patch cable, one small path cable that came with a pedal I had a...

    How do buffered pedals and dedicated buffers work?

    I sold my multi effects pedal a few months ago because I hated feeling limited by the effects that it provided and not being able to choose my own individually based on taste. And so, I sold the unit and began my journey of trying and buying different individual pedals. I play indie rock...

    Tuning machines for Squier VM Jazz bass?

    The bass was made in 2016 so I guess they're the newer type of tuners. I've called the music stores that are around my area and none sell individual tuners and the sets are roughly $60. This turned into an expensive problem fast

    I picked up my Squier VM Jazz Bass today and I noticed that one of the clover head machine heads was bent. When I tried to straighten it, the clover head part snapped leaving me with an unusable machine head. Where can I get a direct replacement for this type of bass? Buying genuine Fender...

    My bass lessons aren't fun

    I think there's an electronic music elective. But, they teach it on and off depending on the number of students that sign up for it. I didn't see on the course list for next semester, though

    My bass lessons aren't fun

    Why am I studying music? Well, I don't like business, science or anything that your standard college/university and the only thing that genuinely interests me in this god forsaken life that we live in is music. What am I gonna do with it? I have absolutely no idea. I can at least tell you that...

    My bass lessons aren't fun

    I want to say four left since it's the bass lessons plus 3 sight reading classes, harmony, repertoire, basic piano, counterpoint, music history and ensemble. This is all without me adding the classes that I have to take for my other major since I'm planning on graduating with a degree in...

    My bass lessons aren't fun

    What would I rather learn? You know, I've never been asked that question, before. I have no problem with the arpeggios and scales that he's teaching me since that can and is applied to every style and genre of music. I just want him to meet me in the middle in terms of the styles of music that...

    My bass lessons aren't fun

    So, it's been a while since I've posted on this forum. But, I'm in need of some bass/musician related advice. As part of my bachelor's degree in music at my university, I have to take one on one lessons with a professor as part of the required classes (I chose bass since the guys that run the...

    How do I tame a loud bass?

    Hahahahaha, I tried and it still distorts. I even plugged in my jazz bass and violin bass into the amp and they sound fine

    How do I tame a loud bass?

    It only has 3 knobs. One for volume, one for bass and one for treble. How about getting a compression pedal. You think that would work?
