Sorry. Amp settings. My bad

What are settings for some really good tones? This a thread for any tone, slap, metal, jazz, funk, anything!

Alright guys, my awesome music teacher let me play bass for a concert on the 27th. I play baritone saxophone regularly in band, as bass isn't a "concert" instrument. (Junior high can't buy double bass). But anyway, I'm kinda goin' all out. (Pink strings for breast cancer awareness, school...

I guess I should've added that I've been studying the structure and terminology of swing for about two months now. I've gotten a pretty good clue of what to do, except reading bass clef. I have played alto and bari saxophone for 4 years now, so whenever I try to read bass, it just comes out...

Don't worry, I've had a gym personal trainer since I was ten (just started weights at 12 and a half or else it would be harmful) and I am investing in on of their neo speaker models. I tell ya, I am pretty happy to be born in the age of light amps, as much as I like a vintage '73 fender with an...

So I will get a solid Markbass Little Mark 800 paired with a Markbass 104hf 4x10 at 8ohms in may. (I am only 13 which means no job, so money takes a while to accumulate)

Thank you! Will keep in mind. I wish I could afford an upright or even just a fretless, but right now, I've been dealing with an Anpeg BA-1x8... Ouch

Alright, so I'm doing jazz band for my school, because I decided it would be a great oppurtunity to learn a whole new genre. I usually have only played Metal, Funk, and Classical solo upper register stuff. We play a crapton of swing so far, and I was wondering how I could get that sweet, smooth...

Yeah. I know it's a little early, but they did. I don't want to think about tho. In so much pain! Ugh Just part of it. Money is a little tight in family right now. I don't care much because I love them

I don't play professionaly yet, for I am 13. So I can't get a real job with school and stuff. Plus, my wisdom teeth were just taken out and I have to pay $700 down for it. Kinda low on cash...

I got the GC little catalogue today in the mail and I saw that the head I've been saving up for is $700 instead of $800. Should I invest (I have $750) or risk it and wait until Black Friday to see if there is a better deal? Thank You

Don't worry, I have a Warwick ;)

Thanks man! That really helped!

I have been experimenting with many different tones recently (which is hard to do because I have an Ampeg 1x8 at the moment) and I was wondering how to get that sharp, Metal, crunchy, metallic sound. I doubt it has to be a specific bass or amp, but tell me if so. A song example with this sound...

First of all, that was my question. Why the string unwinds over time. How is that not a D-String? It's just a 65 gauge. Is that the B string? Hmmm. And that must be a typo in my account. Not trying to lie here... And that is how warwick strings are made. They have the weird winding at the end. I...
