I really like my Catalinbread SFT because its pretty darn touch sensitive and seems to not color the tone too much if you play lightly enough not to overdrive it, but I know next to nothing about how it compares to other pedals.

I wouldn't say the Catalinbread SFT is good to fill in the mids per se. But I really like it for being touch-sensitive. It cleans up very nicely if you use a very light touch. I don't hear much of a mid scoop in it naturally, but it doesn't have a mid boost either. Its got that whole...

Yup. Oh well... Thats sorta my attitude as well. I just love how it sounds and feels to really dig into some 50-105 chromes that are a year old. Sure, I don't play intricate basslines and fancy stuff and I could break a G string and not even notice for a few songs, but thats the kinda bass I...

Really folks? You show up to tryout for a country band with a 5 string and and get laughed at? Are they not even gonna let you play if you bring an non "standard" instrument? What happens when you start playing is what is important. What Matters: Don't ever step on the vocal. Play...

Disagree respectfully. Tuner is great if the recording your listening to is exactly tuned to standard A 440 tuning. But a lot of them are not, particularly if they are from the pre "everyone has cheap electric tuners" days. There a little flat or sharp. As part of ear training you should be...

I know its not symmetrical, but I think that the headstock looks way more balanced and ascetically pleasing with the tuners moved to the correct position. Anyway, great looking bass!

I took the squire logo off my affinity bass with a green abrasive dish pad. It was a matte finish and you can't even tell it was there now. YMMV

The real question is how are the stairs doing?

Loss Leader? Considering that he is getting how much free advertising by everyone at TB talking it over and then if he is lucky a whole bunch of people buying them cheap, and posting how they like them, then he sells even more at full price... Ahhhh, the internet. How else can you have 19,000...

I have a sneaking suspicion that some people are mistaking a pro for having a light touch when really were just seeing them having great economy of motion. Its easy to see someone playing hard with fingers flying all over the place and whacking strings. But someone that has a really stable...

Gain control is your friend, and its directly related to your tone. Learn to play at the same volume with a bunch of different gain settings. Bass played lightly but with a lot of gain sounds and feels a lot different than playing hard with a lower gain. Both are very useful. Try playing as...

My guess is that its partially because its decent sounding bass to begin with, its passive so it doesnt get as much of the super low low bass that can muddy things up, its only got a tone knob so you can't create a bad sounding setting by setting an on board eq badly, doesn't have a second...

Unless your in my band, then the band leader doesn't understand that dead air is deadly to a good show. Heck, I'm not even sure he thinks its a show. I think he has the mentality that as long as the songs are good, nothing else matters on stage. 6 weeks till I'm done...

Ok, now for a non-smartarse reply. I think part of the problem is that we are constantly comparing apples to oranges tone wise. Everyones idea of good tone is subjective. And not only that, but we are listening to recordings where the most important issue is the PLAYER. We hear a thick...

Blasphemy. Burn the heretic.
