The last band I subbed for play rockabilly/early rock(Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Eddie Cochran, etc.), so i use a fretless to play along with the recordings as the tuning is always all over the place. Practice was always a huge pain because of having to use ancient recordings as reference. Im a...

Nope, words are just confusing me. gotta go with the tattoo on the palm. Left palm: wife’s bday, right palm: high pass filter, torso: whatever the heck bussing on mixers are.

"High pass" removes the lows. "High pass" removes the lows. "High pass" removes the lows. "High pass" removes the lows. I always get the concept of high/low pass backwards. Gotta get that to stick in my head. Thanks for spelling it out simply. You're a good writer, by the way. Sounds like the...

I forgot there was even a think called a blend pedal. More researching to do! Thanks for the advice.

And the "Iron Ether Nimbus" is a great name. Though I prefer the "Steel Oxygen Cirrus" myself . but I kid. Now I have to research this even if just to find out where they got the name from:D

Thanks for replies. I'm not even sure of the terminology to talk about this accurately and had to reread everything three times before it started to sink in. Ill read up on the Iron Ether Nimbus and maybe get back to you to see if I understand correctly. I even just found the talkbass wiki and...

Thanks for the reply! I'll do some digging on the TC Electronics Hall of Fame. Appreciate the response.

Hi All, I don't have a lot of experience with effects and currently only own a zoom b3 multi effect pedal. When playing alone, or at least not with a full band, I like reverb as an effect on the higher notes of my fretless jazz, but not so much on the lower notes as it muddies it up. Any...

I hardly ever have much to add, but I also use GHS pressure wounds for what you are describing. A bonus is when they start to sound a little too dead for my tastes (after 4-6 months) I soak them in alchohol to clean them and they sound almost like new. Last forever for me and still have enough...

Thanks for the input folks. I was practicing a bit on my mim fretless jazz bass and tried slapping just to fool around. It got me thinking about point of contact to create vibration. Thanks again for the replies!

Hi all, Wasn't sure where to post this, so I thought miscellaneous was safe. Feel free to tell if a better location is present. When you slap and pop on a properly set up bass is the string you are slapping making contact with only the highest fret (fret closest to bridge)? Or is the slap...

That is a beautiful looking bass, especially with the black strings! Congratulations. A bass with style, right there.
