This is a very interesting thread. Thanks for posting the question. Where I come from, a couple of years ago there was no realy local music scene. Music basically consisted of commercial oriental popstars. In the late 80's some metal bands started emerging and concerts were organized and...

Used to say that too until I heard the 8 inch ;)

Yamaha HS50M. Those will give you a nice sound, but not enough bass. I don't think a speaker with a cone smaller than 8 inches would satisfy a bass player.

I got the TC-Electronic Powercore compact. and it comes with several bundled plugins. One of them is Tubifex. Has been doing everything I want for recording. I don't like to use soft plugins live or during practice though.

Very well said ! :bassist:

you probably meant high pass ?

Haven't gigged for almost 2 years and I am on here frequently, and learning something new every day. So by the day I start gigging again, I'll be kicking !

1.) Bass 2.) Sansamp DI 3.) Strap 4.) EBS compressor 5.) Fastfret

There's no right or wrong here IMO. This is how people come up with new techniques. They experiment, see what sounds good and is comfortable. Whatever works for you without hurting yourself is the way you should do it. But to cut a long story short, most of the people find it easier to slap with...

Mute the track while you're recording. Turn the mix knob down to the left, maybe at around a quarter. Set the latency to 512 or 256 samples. Make sure you don't let your computer go to sleep. If it did already, try opening the System Configuration and change the clock to SPDIF, then back to...

This is quite sad. I remember when I was 12, it took me a couple of months to convince my parents to buy me a used classic guitar. When I switched to bass 3 years later, I spent almost 8 years playing on basses that weren't mine. I'd spend hours after school was over just to use the school bass...

Very well said !

Try a lighter gauge. Or make sure the action is set correct. It might be due to E-String hitting against the frets. Had that happen on my bass.

Exactly ! I don't think he's the first person to think of this.

Back in '98 I had my Ibanez stolen at a gig. After I went offstage to talk to friends and some of the audience. By the time the entire show was over, I went back behind the stage to find it was gone :S. One doesn't learn for cheap I guess. Ever since I keep my eye on everything when I am out.
