In my experience, the EQ from your amp should have no effect on the DI sound but only affect the sound coming from whatever cabinet you're playing through on stage. I have used a number of different DI options, but they've always been connected from my pedal board (or the cable from my bass)...

I mean.. outta that list: Sabbath, Zeppelin, Korn, Slipknot, Rush... all great. Honorable mention: I don't know how Rage Against the Machine's best album never made the list. That album helped change music in the early 90s.

My first bass ever (still own it today) and the lightest bass I've owned is a Fender Precision Lyte. 7lb 7oz (3.5kg). (Not a true P-bass as it has the PJ setup, but gets those precision sounds with the neck pickup isolated). I was watching a documentary on Carol Kaye a little while ago and...

Interesting to read the diversity of comments/opinions. It's a great question by the OP. I don't differentiate between rehearsals and practices.. (although I guess when we have a show coming up we do tend to stick to the set-list chosen for the show coming up and don't work on as much new...

I thought that's what I was seeing there. Inventive. I would be worried it would fall off... but I have also popped off strap locks due to excessive stage movement. :)

LOL! Is that a coil spring adjuster for a motorcycle? That is thinking outside the box my friend.

Man do I ever like that bass! I play predominantly 5 string now because the type of music calls for it and drop tuning just doesn't do what I want it to do. That new Fender looks very well designed and I might like it more than my current 5er, (which is saying a LOT cuz I LOVE my Warwick...

Whether I play fingerstyle or pick depends on what the song needs. Most of my bands songs are originals, and my bandmates give me the freedom to decide what sounds best.. (although I take into account their feedback obviously). I adjust my EQ and volume for the song(s) as well, but not...

I cannot believe that this thread on a bass forum has 2063 PAGES! I actually don't like cats (dog person), but my wife does and so she's got 2 of em, (along with a few more that are no longer with us). I love my wife so I buy them for her and let them live with us (and of course pay for all...

That is great to hear! Nothing is better (as a bassist) than being happy with your tone. It's rewarding when research and asking questions pays off. Good luck with the rabbit hole, and the never-ending search for new things that don't compromise the tone you like so much. (Good luck to your...

I think one of the things that is important to point out is that the frequency of the EQ isn't always consistent just because it says Low/Mid/High (or other). For example, on my Markbass Amp, the "low mids" and "high mids" adjustment knobs boost/cut a different mid frequency than on my...

does the fender neck/headstock on there help with the neck-dive? It looks like you shed some weight with that smaller headstock and the p-bass neck.

Fabric-wrapped instrument cables, and learn to use the "roadie-wrap". You'll never have to un-tangle an instrument cable again.

I also have a MIJ Fender Precision Lyte.. it was my first bass and it's the one bass that I just could never sell. I have other basses that I play more, a 5 string Warwick Streamer and a Jaguar VM 4 string short scale, but I just have such a soft spot for that Lyte. Sentimental I suppose. I...

I'm not a huge fan of Pete Wentz (or Fallout Boy for that matter) but I do appreciate the fact that a professional musician in a popular band doesn't have to play the most expensive basses out there to get the tone he wants. IIRC correctly, his original signature bass was a Squire(?) and now...
