Finally getting into the fretless world. It only has one neck pickup for a thumptastic sound. The thing is kind of yuppy, unusual for me, but I really like this thing. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Hey all, This is electronica. DeadMau5 beat. Scroll ahead and get to the drop C heavy grinding beat. Yes, I know a vibrating string isn't going to come close. BUT. For my techy comrades out there, tell me what's going on to that signal in its digital processing. What is giving that REALLY...

Hey all, I want to trade my Ampeg BA115 that is in good condition for a gently used GK MB115. I'm sure I can get a guarantee on quality for the trade and have a warranty. He wants the Ampeg + $130. I think this is a little much as both amps are pretty comparable in price. What would you...

Here we can see Beethoven with his vintage... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I'm currently studying in Bonn, Germany. The birthplace of Beethoven. Enjoy all.

I bought my Warwick Standard Corvette off ebay two years back and never had it professionally setup. One day a clumsy friend of mine made the bass take a dive onto its face which destroyed the nut. I had a millwright friend of mine make me one out of brass, because you know, it matched my...

I've been playing my Ampeg BA-115 for a few years and it serves nicely for sculpting many tones under the Sun-which pleases me still. However paired with my Warwick Corvette it definitely has an emphasis with the mids. We recently started playing Reggae and mellower Jazz stuff. I feel it's time...

I'm rolling on three years of bass playing and I still have a massive crush on my Warwick Standard Corvette. I was glued to it the first time I saw it. I find myself starring at the warwick website wanting everything shaped like it but still the bubinga has me sold. I have other basses but they...

I've had to set my bass down for a few months while I study abroad in Germany, instead I picked up an acoustic guitar and been having a good time. I search now and then on the tab sites for some inspiration to songs I like. I am so upset by the sheer disrespect I see on these tab site's...

Hey Guys, Below is our first track we made. It's our simplest and most repetitive. It's closest to, I believe, the Island Reggae genre... We have no drummer because she moved away a year ago. We had a lot of fun making this stuff and I am very pleased with the tone and subtly that came out...

Hey all, Moved to Germany 2 months ago and I couldn't bring my bass with. 2 weeks in I cracked and picked up an acoustic guitar which I've been playing like mad. I miss my bass dearly and reading this forum never helps cure the itch. From a music standpoint, moments like this can be really...

Found this video. Pretty sick sounding bassline in the intro http://hackaday.com/2010/04/28/part-arcade-part-guitar/

I'm sure many have seen this. If not, take note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzXgL9V8Qm0 Poor guy-poor bass. :(

Anyone?

I recently purchased a Warwick Rockbass that had its frets removed and filled with wood putty and sealed it all with tung oil. He did a wonderful job, neat and tidy. However, the neck still doesn't know how to behave. When I look down the neck and from the side, I can see that the neck is...

A while back I messed around with a few amps of friends and was wholly disapointed by them. One in particular was a Line 6 Combo amp, all it could do is BOOM, barely any real tone control. Then I found ampeg BA-115, a 15'' combo with great tone controls. However, since playing with it for a...

So in a few months I'm traveling to Germany for 5 months and I'm pretty sure I won't be able to bring my Warwick Corvette Standard Bubinga. Because of its natural oil finish that is exposed to the outside world, it strongly recommended that the bass is waxed with beeswax every 1-2 weeks. So...

Link Removed Anyone have any dirt on this pedal? Would it be worthwhile to checking it out? It is obviously tailored more for gtar, but I'm curious.

I just found this guy who mods the Boss 7 Band graphic EQ to a lot lower frequencies. I find this rather nice. My love for the GEB-7 has dwindled since I got back on my real bass amp and really listened to how it affects my tone. One complaint I had was the high-end treble on the pedal...

I'm looking for a set of strings, probably nickel, that will give a hefty low end and cut the mids. I play a warwick corvette standard 4 and the density of the bubinga wood has a strong high mid sound. The best description I've heard is 'farty.'--very true. Using the "Wind Tasting" chart I've...

I've been wanting to step up my string gauge, I play the standard .45-.105 but I was hesitant because I figured that I would have to replace or modify the nut in order to house them? Is this an issue?

So my dream bass is the Warwick Zebrano by sheer looks alone...That's not a good philosophy when it comes to bass though. There are two youtube videos of people playing some Zebranos. I am hoping whoever you are, you are on TB. Tell me all about it, the sound, sustain, tone, knobs...

So the other day I was at two different shows, Rebelution a Reggae'ish band and Portugal the Man an alternative rock band. Both shows I was annoyed by how difficult it was to discern any of subtleties of the bass playing. These are guys who's bass lines just get me going, but I really didn't...

Hey guys, Can anyone tab this out for me? I hate my inability to tab things right now. But this would be a really sweet piece to practice. http://www.musicelectronix.com/clips/submarine.html Just play the sample song, it's the same each time but with different settings. Many thanks

Back in the day I was wondering the handling capacity of my solid state. I have an Ampeg BA-115- a 15'' 100 watt amp. In the day I had three boss pedals, EQ, Limiter, and Overdrive. Is it possible to destroy your amp if you were to turn the volume to max on everything (I'm not planning on...

Hey guys, can someone take a shot at this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq8rQkkG7Lc Great song. Many Thanks

How hard are roundwounds on a fretless? Would there be appreciable grooving after a year, 2, or more? My next bass is definitely going to be a fretless

Hey all, I was wondering if any has encountered, played, or owns a Rickenbacker 4003fl. My next bass is definitely going to be fretless and I'm kind of starstruck by the looks of the Ricks. Some of the descriptions the site gives describes it as having a nice upright bass sound, which I would...

Hey all, post exactly 1 album that you listen who's bass lines are one of your favorites. This could be the notes, rhythm, tone, effects, chops, whatever! If you could, find a picture of the album and tell about what 'gets' you. I'll start. Portugal the Man: Waiter! You Vultures Invalid...

I'm wondering how I see so many 6-strings on TB but I've never see anyone play one live? More importantly, what kinds of things do you play with them. With my little experience, meaning youtube, I expect see some guy come on stage with a 6-string and play Mario or Zelda music. Show me your...

Hi my name is lowregister and I'm a tone addict... For all of my bass career (i.e. 2 years) I have used the Boss GEB-7, a 7-band graphic EQ to help me change up my tone. In conjunction with my Ampeg ba-115 I can dial in a lot of tones. Naturally, I'm looking to move on to some more exotic...

Warning: noob content I have an older, bulkier Electro-harmonix Big Muff Pi. I'm interested in beginning to learn circuity and the like. So for my first endeavor, I'd like to change the boring red LED to something more fun like blue or white. (we all start somewhere) Link Removed I'm...

I just got this in the mail: Invalid Link Removed So each side has it's left and right. Our plan to record ourselves is to use two microphones, one XLR into the R and one into the L (i'm going to be super thorough) Once we have our audio tracks, then we are going to play over top of...

Hey guys, No searches turned up a general prefererence of delay pedals. I'm looking for a delay pedal that's at most $150. I'm aware of all those that are out there but I'm wondering what ones you guys like, and things that you don't. Tap tempo would be nice, but it's not necessary...

For my short lived life with bass, I've been going solo. It'd be great to find someone around where I live, who is a fellow TB'er

Hey all, It's overwhelming trying to find out all that I can from searching and reading so I'm hoping to describe my situation for recording needs and you guys can recommend a good DI box I play through an Ampeg Ba115 that has a balanced XLR output 1)First the stupid question-The XLR...

I am puzzled as to how his bass sounds like this. It sounds thumpy yet full of treble with no zing. It's from Rebelution, Safe and Sound. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I hope this is the appropriate place to post this.

I have 6 different sets of strings that I alternate about every 2-3 weeks. My natural oil Warwick Corvette needs to be waxed every few weeks so I usually switch the strings (i.e. flats to rounds to grounds) (surprisingly my intonation remains pretty true despite all the changing) I'm wondering...

So my other band member and I are grief stricken because our drummer just moved to California for graduate school. We are pretty discouraged that we won't find a drummer anytime soon. I once made the comment to someone asking about our departed drummer that drummers are just too rare these...

I'm wondering if anyone knows of any software that allows me to see the actual wavelength frequency a bass note makes E.G. I want to see the actual sound curve of a ringing open A. I'm curious because I want to see empirically how my pedals (graphic EQ, compression, and distortion) affect...
