Thanks for your reply. Just not happy about the tone I'm getting when I play back recordings through the PC, despite a lot of playing around with various settings (AmpliTube). Thinking now maybe the best way to remedy that would be to upgrade my monitors.

Question: Nowadays I play mostly through a PC, using a DAI and amp modeling software. Would like to improve my sound. So does using amp modeling software make a unit like this Ampeg SGT-DI redundant for me? Or could it be used in tandem with the software, or in lieu of the software, to improve...

I've tried many of these types of software, and preferred RIP-X. I like the one-shot buy vs. the subscription model. I've owned RIP-X for two years now, and so far they have been really good about free updates. The ability to edit individual notes in RIP-X is very helpful, because every one of...

Otherwise, we could move the old Hot Deals forum to the main forum list, maybe next to Misc. I think this would be the best solution, by far. Just my two cents.

I had a black G3 I purchased in 1979, and was my only bass for three years. Very sad what's happened to this one. I've got a lot of nostalgia now for mine (traded in 1982 for a 1979 MM Sabre I still have). But I wouldn't pay a dime for that travesty.

Guitar Pro has a Transpose command in the Tools menu that brings up a box with numerous transposition options. I believe you should be able to transpose your tuba score to bass guitar with it.

That's pretty cool. My first quality bass guitar was a black Gibson G-3, with a maple board, only difference is mine had a white pickguard and an ashtray over the bridge, if I recall correctly. Purchased in 1979. Traded it four years later for a Music Man Sabre. Gigged that Gibson a lot but...

Got one back in November for about $1200. Mine is a 1997 based on the serial number. I would concur with CTW68 and Dr. Cheese's opinions about this bass. Quite happy with it, especially for the price. String-spacing is tighter than any other bass I've owned, but I got used to it. Neck is thin...

I should add that a lot of the problems with using Guitar Pro in this way, are related to the fact that when you are using tab, Guitar Pro will (by default) put every note at the lowest fret possible in the tablature, even when that would be an illogical and difficult manner of fingering for the...

OK. Your question caused me to investigate a little more. After some research I did the same copy/paste from my 4-string transcription to a new Guitar Pro file set up for a 5-string tab notation. Then I selected all 199 bars in my 5-string file and went to the drop down "Tools" menu at the top...

As far as I know, I don't think you can take a Guitar Pro tab that is set up for 4 sting bass and turn it into a workable 5-string bass tab. To try to answer your question I just tested it with a 4-string transcription I had done. I created a new file for 5-string bass and copied my 4-string...

I use Amplitube 4 as a plug-in with Ableton Live and an Axe I/O interface. Cheap Sterling monitors-pretty good for the price though. I always have to play with the settings on the "amp" a lot in Amplitube. I use very few effects (occasionally a compressor, every once in a while a chorus) And...

Hands triplets. I wear an XXL Cadet golf glove.
