    I use an Audix D4... I still haven't had a better recorded tone than that, ever.

    What's the best choice for an acoustic bass?

    Also... has anyone seen the acoustic basses a Canadian company called Larrivee used to make? I don't think they have them in production anymore but I played one once and it is still, to this day, the "One That Got Away", the purchase I will forever regret not making. Absolutely gorgeous sounding...

    What's the best choice for an acoustic bass?

    I'm interested in hearing more about a few of the fretless acoustics, because now that I think about it thats one of the most frustrating things about acoustic basses, that gross clicky-clacky sound that annoys the HELL out of me.

    Capo in the middle of a song for a key change?

    Other than that key change I really have no use for it, so I have no need to spend the $5 I could use towards paying off my music store bills haha :P Plus, the time I have to put on the capo is insanely minimal so its really not worth the risk since I know the part otherwise. Now to learn to...

    What's the best choice for an acoustic bass?

    Oh I do use a small battery powered amp just to get that extra little bit of volume, but I love having the acoustic bass to get into that vibe, its incredible how much of a difference it makes having something that fits in with the sound of an acoustic. In terms of the Washburn, not looking to...

    Just don't get the allure of vintage basses...

    For the most part, yeah, a lot of old basses are overpriced, but for my '72 P Bass, I played significantly less than I would have for a brand new American Standard P and it plays INFINITELY better than any other new P bass I've ever played. Of course, this may just be a case of getting...

    Just don't get the allure of vintage basses...

    I have a '72 Precision that does its job incredibly well, and will always be my number one, go to bass, but I'm also looking at purchasing a brand new Japanese Jaguar Bass, because I love love love the sounds I can get out of that bass, and its a really nice complementary sound to my P bass. I...

    What's the best choice for an acoustic bass?

    I've tried everything I can find, from Ibanez to Fender, and I can't seem to find a good acoustic bass. I know there are some out there, somewhere. Don't bother bashing them, I've heard it all before hahaha, but I love to busk with my band and have to borrow a friends unfortunately awful...

    4x10 or 2x15?

    I had a 115 running with a 210 for the longest time, and it always sounded amazing, but ended up switching to a 410 because I simply liked it better. I still get a lot of punchy highs and nice bassy lows with it, I wouldn't even consider adding a 15 to my rig simply because the low end is...

    Capo in the middle of a song for a key change?

    Although I'm pretty damn sure that this is the best idea I've ever ever heard. Too bad my drummer is the singer :hmm: :P

    Capo in the middle of a song for a key change?

    As awkward and weird as it is, I DO have it learned haha. I've never used a capo on my bass so I was wondering what people thought, because to be honest I've never heard anyone talk about it! But thanks guys, I now know to not even bother buying one :P

    Capo in the middle of a song for a key change?

    Hey, I was just wondering if any of you have ever used a capo in the middle of a song to change from an open position to a completely different key... I have this one song that I play that involves a lot of open strings combined with fretting and its absolutely ridiculous to transpose the...

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 3)

    My oh-so-lovely vintage P-bass... I wish I knew a little bit more about it though!!! The shop I bought it from said it was a '72 or so, and its definitely refinished, but its got the original electronics and sounds like god through my Ampeg SVT-CL into my Ashdown 410 Classic... yummmm...

    Orange Amps Releases New Terror Bass Combos

    Yeah, I was hoping to get some info on that on the Orange website, but I couldn't quite find anything about it. I've been looking for a really good sounding combo just to have at home so I can leave my big rig at my jam space and this looks like it would more than fit the bill, for the right...
