    compression pedal for bass?

    +1! I've bought one used this weekend and honestly, I've never thought a compressor would improve my tone that much (Fender Jazz Bass MIA)! If you play finger style, it's just awesome! :hyper:

    Of course, it's a reference to Full Metal Jacket. :cool:

    Choosing headphones

    +100 on HD600/650's. I bought a pair of HD 650's last year and never looked back. These are my cans for the next decade! :hyper:

    The drum software thread

    I'm using Superior Drummer 2.0 too. I usually modify the settings on the mixer to get a little bit more overhead. I'm also using different outputs for the kick, snare, toms, hihat, cymbals/overhead. I like boosting and eqing a little more cymbals and overhead. I sometimes use a compressor to...

    How loud do you need to record a bass amp?

    Hi guys, I've tried the e906 this weekend on my bass cab and the sound was very decent. Maybe not as good as the mics you listed, but still works pretty good if you EQ it. The RNP rules!

    How loud do you need to record a bass amp?

    I asked the same thing on the TGP forum Invalid Link Removed From what I understand, mics are pretty transparent... it's just a matter of what tone you want to get... I thought that if you recorded louder you'd get better results by not cranking the preamp too much...

    How loud do you need to record a bass amp?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering how loud do you set your amps when you guys record your bass tracks (not how loud the bass should be in the mix like a previous thread)? Side question: Did anyone use a Sennheiser e906 to record their bass amp? Thanks!

    bass headphones!

    Lucky you! If only our band's guitarist/singer was as cool as your guitarist... he left us twice because he had babies even though he promised to call us back a few weeks later :mad: :bawl:

    MXR Bass Octave Deluxe - Tracking problems on G string

    Actually it was a brand new bass at the store, so maybe it needed some setup but it seemed pretty nice to me. The other thread Ant1977 linked talks about dead zones on Fender basses, very interesting. In any case, I can play the notes on the 3rd string and it works beautifully, so it's not that...

    MXR Bass Octave Deluxe - Tracking problems on G string

    Hi everyone, I tried an MXR Bass Octave Deluxe yesterday at the guitar shop and I thought it was pretty nice until I went up to the G string. For some reason between the 1st (G#) fret and the 5th fret (C) the tracking was really off and the note would go up and down randomly. :confused: All...

    VT Bass and Amp Sims on PC

    I have tried several amp simulators on PC such as Amplitube, Guitar Rig, etc. Most of them sounded average at best IMO. Amplitube Ampeg wasn't all that bad... My main problem is the soundcard latency. I managed to get it down to 6ms but can you still hear a delay between your plucking and the...

    jazz bass sounds empty

    You just said out loud what most of us think silently... :p Why change the stock pickups anyway? I'd rather have different basses of different styles than trying to put humbucker pickups on a Jazz :rolleyes:

    What do you think of the Surf Green color?

    One of my collegues sent me this photo! He's making fun of me :spit: :mad:

    Question on my new Ampeg BA115T (used)

    Hey guys! Yes, I have used the search button :smug: I bought a used Ampeg BA115T yesterday and I'm quite happy so far. I have a question for Ampeg owners... there is a line out on this amp (XLR). I want to record my bass using this line out into my M-Audio sound card. I don't have a 1/4...

    What do you think of the Surf Green color?

    I like that bass color! I just realized the guy is 350 km away from Montreal. Ouch! :(

    What do you think of the Surf Green color?

    I know it's not a bass but I've seen a used Stratocaster w/ Surf Green color that I might buy. My collegues think it's ugly but I think it's really nice! But I'm colorblind, maybe that's why... :confused:

    Ibanez sr500 or sterling sb14?

    It looks like my old Ergodyne Bass. If it's anything like it, it sucks donkey balls compared to a real bass guitar (i.e. Fender USA). It's OK for beginners but once you try a real instrument you cannot go back. :)

    Ampeg BA115T

    Very surprising... I'm about to buy a BA115T used too. Those who say that they hated it, can you explain why? What should I check on the amp before buying it?

    Boss TU-2 Tuner - good value, or are there better for the money?

    A friend of mine has the KORG Pitchblack and it's awesome. True bypass. I'm going to buy one soon.

    Is my bass really active?

    There is a difference between an active bass and active pickups? I thought an active bass was a bass... with active pickups :D

    Is my bass really active?

    Well if there's a battery I guess it's an active bass. One of my basses is an Ibanez Ergodyne w/ active pickup but I've never tried to play without a battery... I usually change the battery every time I change my strings. Unless you bought it used and somebody replaced the pickups w/ passive...

    Fender MIA Colours

    I love surf green too. It seems that they only make standard colors now and nothing unusual. I guess sunburst is everybody's choice these days. I've got a cream-coloured Fender Jazz MIA (1999). I've bought it used and it has a black pickguard. I'm planning to replace it for a tortoise...

    If you had to be another bassist...

    Whoa, I don't know most of the bassists you've added. I would go with Paul Simonon from The Clash, Carlos D from Interpol and of course Geddy Lee from Rush. Runner ups: Chris Squire (Yes) and Dee Dee Ramone (Ramones) Roger Waters? I mean, the guy can be groovy sometimes but technically...

    Show Me Your Basses With Stickers

    I'm not sure I would put stickers on my bass :) Maybe a "PRESSURE" sticker just because I lub Paul Simonon from The Clash! :hyper:

    Recommend me some headphones.

    Hi! This is my first post on this forum. Bought an used Fender American Jazz Bass (1999) last week to replace my sh***tty Ibanez Ergodyne bass... now I'm hopelessly addicted to it and trying to find out more gear to buy! Anyway, I'm also a HUGE Sennheiser fan. I opened my wallet last...
