    Tone Options Ibanez sr755

    So I'm running this bad boy as my main solo tool / funk machine. I have a high C installed and wouldn't mind some techs or pedal savvy guys throwing me in the right direction. It has nordstrands in it, with a maple / bubinga dual body. I want to know if im able to grab a pedal that's going to...

    Stu Hamm is the best solo bassist period.

    Random reasons why you like the dude, I really like victor Wooten because he's great at playing and he's humble? Cool

    Decent at playing tell me how to slap?

    I've got the double thumb Marcus miller pluck down I can slap actual notes but every time I hear blanks on a track I don't know what the bassist is doing. I have good rhythm is there any way I can mentally understand how to mute the slaps? Is it just constant right hand slap while the left is...

    Why do people think that more notes = better?

    Someone's probably said it but I'd day it's to do with personality types man or how people grow up can definitely influence what they see is good

    Not a poll, but do you prefer active or passive & why,,

    I'm really into good passive pick ups with the option to switch on active to give it extra grunt and clarity above the 12th fret. My fingers prefer the active set up since I don't dig in as hard to get the grunt :D

    Do you judge a bass player based on the brand that he uses?

    Of course, intial thoughts are based of statistics. Doesn't mean their either good or bad, you only assume.

    Looking for growl under $1500

    I own a Ibanez sr755 and it definitely growls with the nordstrand split and single coil pick ups. Ernie ball Round wounds with a pick and a GK amp and cab boosted 3/4 high mids. It's a subtle growl that can be pushed with some tweaking and putting the amp on boost setting.

    Performing after a couple beers

    Alcohol is good for that man. It's all about feeling, know your body and how it affects you. There's not much to it if it works great EDIT: I reread what you're saying in this thread and from the sounds of it you probably shouldn't be playing on stage if you're prone to serious anxiety and...

    Does my jazz bass sound weird?

    How's the condition of the pick ups? From what I hear it does sound a bit like you're plucking at a metal wire. But it's not terrible at all, does it sound the same with a pick? Could be a potentially dud string? Every bass sounds different honestly it sounds like you're getting a more high...

    NBD - Fretless - P Bass - Parts Bass

    Looks sweet BAG, the chromes will definitely settle down. I'd keep the fender logo on but that's just me, everyone's brand hungry in the SYD will probably add to some value haha. if you feel like it, id love to hear just a snippet of the bass in action :)
