    What year and COLOR is Dee Dee's Bass?

    Yeah, I was thinking maybe he had an issue with his bass just before their set and perhaps borrowed someone elses bass that was nearby and available. OP, if you're really interested in going further down the rabbit hole of this bass, maybe check to see who else played at that festival that day...

    Underrated but vital bassists UK/Ireland thread.

    Pete Trewavas is one of my favourite bass players. Super underrated in my opinion. Just try playing along to this and you'll understand how great he is:

    Been experimenting with a visual metronome — interested in bassist feedback

    Dune, not agreeing or disagreeing with what you are saying in regards to the visual aspect of the metronome, but what would you say to coyote based on their experience which appears to be basically the opposite of yours. I've personally pretty much always used digital metronomes that don't have...

    Would a Stingray HH sound like a Stingray H with the bridge pickup soloed?

    I currently own both HH and H rays and there's no appreciable difference between the bridge sound on them. Anyone who says there is, in my opinion, is not comparing basses properly. The only true way to test this would be to take an HH ray and record some stuff with the bridge pick up solo'd...

    Does your band follow a set list?

    I'll echo what it seems most others have said. Yes, always have a set list prepared ahead of time but we also might skip a song here and there depending on how much time we have left or other factors. Sometimes after a set we might discuss and make some changes to the following sets on the gig...

    I recorded cover with my twin sister - what do you think?

    Why? The title of the thread says they recorded a cover.

    I recorded cover with my twin sister - what do you think?

    Moises is another one that it could be to get the stems. (also Canadian). I even recorded an album once with the same producer of that particular Billy Talent album, though ours was significantly worse by many magnitudes.

    What type of bass sounds like this tone?

    I gotta disagree with some others. Based on my own experience with midi, it would be much easier to just record that bass part as it is than try to program a midi bass. Yes, it is easy to program a midi bass track but to do it with all of those inflections and sound good would take a lot of...

    I recorded cover with my twin sister - what do you think?

    Benjamin Kowalewicz & Ian D'Sa. It's a Canadian band so no one should expect that anyone here would know who they are.

    Mohini Dey 30th birthday party - did anyone here go?

    I forgot about the AI thing but otherwise it pretty much is.

    Mohini Dey 30th birthday party - did anyone here go?

    You must not be on talk bass too much either, which might not be a bad thing. She's been getting a lot of negative reaction here lately because of her choice of outfits and her fast playing.

    MXR Textures granular synth engine

    This does quite a lot more than the Super Ego, no? I have a Super Ego+ (I believe that is what it is called) but I haven't used it in a couple of years.

    Help getting this tone of The Smashing Pumpkins

    Doesn't look like she's playing all downstrokes in the video.

    Help getting this tone of The Smashing Pumpkins

    Play with a pick, obviously, but also pay attention to how you are striking the strings with the pick. Might want to strike with a bit of the edge of the pick rather than just the flat side of the pick, that will give the notes a bit more of that sharp attach. A P bass or Jazz bass solo'd on the...

    MusicMan Sterling and Flatwounds

    I recently put some D'addario half wounds on one of my Stingrays (the one pictured on the left in my display pic) and it sounds great. Not a Sterling as I don't have one like yours but they definitely sound great on it so maybe that might be an option for you if you want to do sort of an...
