After playing bass for a long time I came to realize some things. -Playing in the bedroom makes us approach music in the wrong way. Bedroom tone, lots of distorsion on bass and guitarist that want a thick tone (ocuppying the whole sonic space). Most of the times, not good for the band. Bass in...

Thanks for the answer.

That's really interesting! Thank you.

At first I had the same idea, because I wanted to hear in the stage the same sound as in the FOH. But, those FRFR are very expensive and not the ideal thing for bass, maybe a better option could be a barefaced, fearless, or something like that. However, all of this are expensive, and most of the...

I'm saying the opposite. I don't have the 31Hz fundamental on my 4-string, I want the 62Hz to be prominent (my fundamental). So a HPF wouldn't work, maybe LPF, but in metal I want those grindy highs. The power chord thing is interesting because you get back the odd harmonics of the low B...

Hi, I don't want to play the Low B, I just want to emulate how it sounds. The Low B fundamental it's barely reproduced and heard. It's the overtones that make that sound. But, as a EADG 4 string has those overtones, theoretically we could boost that frequency range and we won't need a 5th...

Hi, Actually, I'm not interested in the fundamental, neither I have a low B. I would like to know, if the emulation with EADG standard tuning can be done with a EQ and other devices(no octaver, I'm not lloking for the fundamental). Because, theoretically it doesn't seem to be a great challenge...

Hi, I would like to know, if a standard tuned 4 string can reproduce 62 Hz and the fundamental of the 5th string (31Hz) cannot be heard, why we cannot tweak some knobs, process the signal and get that low and powerful sound? Theoretically, we could just enhance those low overtones and we will...

I was speaking about jazz bass 60 Hz hum...

Hi! I play a Sire V7, usually in passive mode. I'm not interested in tweaking knobs, because I have a preamp pedal to shape my sound. But, I use a 5m(16ft) long cable and I was wondering, if I raise the trim pot to get a hotter signal in active mode, I could reduce hum and improve sound quality...

Hi! I have just tried this. No, it doesn't force it to line/phones; neither does enable cab sim. Thanks for replying anyway. What I'm actually looking for is the opposite, automatically disabling while amp output is chosen. The strangest thing is that, the gadget is supposed(boss manual) to...

Hi! I use the Boss Gt-1b with IEMs and/or FOH, so I always use it in Line/Phones mode, with the cabsim always on. But, then, I rehearse with an amp, that I bypass, so that I use my sound always from the multiFX. In order to get a nice representation, I would like the cabsim off, but although I...

Hi! IMO the best mod is setting up properly. If you don't have enough skills to do it yourself, then a luthier will do it for you. Honestly, that's the best improvement. A good bass must satisfy this conditions: -Having a clean sound(not fret buzz, no pickup noise) -Proper string...

Hello! I will ask here my question as it is related to the original in order no to create another thread. In some of the songs that I play I try to play in differents spots to get different tones. I've seen many bass soloist doing that, but their volume in the mix is much higher. I play in a...
