Can the main bass riff for this be tabbed to a 4 string ? I'm trying my best, but right now all I have is my phone and I can't hear the bass at all. I heard it in the car and the bassline caught me. Kinda funky_groovey... I'd do it myself self, but I literally can not hear the bass on my...

I've getting very close to punching the ticket on a gk legacy for some sort. But I have questions. I'm looking at the gk legacy 212 combo or the gk legacy head with the neo 212 cab. Is there really any difference? Both amps are 800w. Both the combo and seperste 212 cab have neo drivers...

Saw this thing for cheap, but I am not familiar with the brand. What is it?

Besides the power difference, what else is different between the mb 212 and legacy 212? Does the legacy have better drivers? Better features? Is it better built? There are precious view videos about these amps and none I could find comparing them directly. I know my not combo will be one of...

I'm not somewhere where I can try gk cabs in person. I'm looking at 3 combos. The mb series combos (210bs 212 and the legacy 212 combo. What's the difference in sound? In my experience, 15s are usually a bit brighter with more mids than 10s, but I know that's not a rule so I don't want to...

I dont know why. Classic looking but also "different" looking and every sample of one I've heard sounded great. Ibanez needs to being these back. I think they'd do pretty well in today's market if the price were kept "fair". If nit, license it out to another company. No reason for these cool...

My bass can make a lot of sounds, but not this sound. Is that flats or just the bass? I dont really mess with flats so I don't know.

The rumble 500c is pretty good. For my taste i rate it somewhere between 7.5 and 8. It's got the volume. That's one thing i really like about it but it doesn't sound as nice when you start leaning into the volume knob. I feel like the bass could be better controlled and something about the...

I've been listening to "jazz" all day on a streaming service, but it doesn't sound like typical jazz to me. It sounds like funk with more movement. Is this a sub genre of jazz? It's definitely not straight funk, but it's not as abstract as I typically think of jazz. Whatever it is, I like...

If you know me from this section, I experiment a LOT with strings. I've been really digging fst beams though im currently strung with Hi Beams. I stumbled across the ghs super steels. I haven't tried these yet which is surprising since I've used a ton of ghs strings. How do the super steels...

I dont usually worry about people's tone, but this video confuses me a little. Is it just the sound of his bass making the non slapped tone or is there a pedal off camera? It sorta sounds like a wah to me at times. Charles bouncing back and forth between that slap tone and that finger tone...

I'm going to skip over the "how" this happened so I don't go on a rant bashing the person who did it. Just know the bass is a ibnaez sr 800 and the neck has been glued with tite bond. So, the neck is glued in and glued in well. Ibanez did an EXCELLENT job with fitting the neck. I can't even...

I can proudly say I am right at home playing "good times" now. Thanks in part to some of you guys help and a LOT of experimenting with note placement and note length/expression. The second part really threw me for a couple days. I am now able to "play" with the song a bit. Adlib here and there...

What basses out there have the best record for sounding amazing straight di or just plugged into an amp without a bunch of eq? I've recorded several, but even basses of the same type can sound so different. My current bass needs a hefty cut at 250hz to not be pure mud no matter what amp or...

I haven't really heard a lot of basses sound like mine. None really, until now. From what I understand , it's likely a 70s p played on this song. (Anyone know for sure?) Thing is , I REALLY don't like this sound. Not from my own instrument. To top it off, my bass is an ibanez sr with nord...

What do you call this. I was messing around earlier with finger style. It kinda sounds like triplets, but it's 4 notes then a slight pause then another note, between every snare hit on a 4/4 120 bpm beat. Best I can notate it is all d string 54x3 0 54x3 0 54x3 0 54x3 0 I tried to count...

I've never seen anything like it, but i kinda dig it. Except maybe those tuning heads. They look weird on that head stock. Is this thing legit?

I've ordered a MM clone and I know it's no music man, but I'd like to get close as possible. I've been playing an ibanez sr for so long, and it just doesn't make this kind of sound. I know the new clone ive ordered won't make a real mm sound either, but I figured I'd put this video out there...

I can play most anything with a little practice, but I am STRUGGLING to "feel" some funk songs. Some I can pick up the feel right away, others not so much. My most current example is "good times". I picked up the notes quickly enough and I can play it in time, but it doesn't "feel" right. I...

Anyone playing with these? They look... different.

I'm looking for rather simple songs with fun fills. Think "smoke on the water". The actual bass line, not the famous guitar part. It's got some fun, groovey feeling fills.

Low cost, NOT fender , "good" classic j sound. What's out there?

I'm 99% sure my jack is just dirty or suffering corrosion. A quick lick (yeah I know) of the plug tip solves the random burst of static/crackle for a couple hours. Should I replace the jack or just clean it? If clean it, with what?

I had my big singles installed by someone years ago. They have a white, black and grey wire. I just assumed they were installed correctly. I just noticed the white and grey wires are connected. (Hot and whatever the grey wire is). Nord states that the grey should be connected to an active...

Do you guys clean your strings? I know some people use cleaners. Others wipe them down. But do you guys submerge them? Have you found a best way or best solution to out them in? My gc is out of my strings so I've been having to order strings and it sucks waiting. I got desperate and gave my...

I'm overall satisfied wirh my recent purchase of a fender rumble 500 combo. There is just 1 thing bothering me. The tweeter. I considered padding it, but reducing its volume is not really what I want to do. It's not too loud. I'd like it to be crossed over a bit higher. There is a bit too...

I have a keely pro comp When I use comps in the computer, even clean ones, I often use them to accentuate the highs. I user them to bring up upper harmonics to enrich the highs and give them a little more texture. Sometimes quite a bit and I'll often use a comp instead of eq for this purpose...

I took my measurements before I found the rumble wiki. The rumble wiki states that with all knobs at noon, the response looks like this. My measurement looks much more flat. I thought it was scaling , but it isn't. What's REALLY throwing me is, ALL my other measurements line up to the wikis...

I went to gc cause the site said they had an ampeg rocket in stock amd I wanted to compare the 210 rocket to the 210 rumble . Well when I got there they said they didn't have one in stock. What I did see was a used mesa 800 plus in MINT Condition. My gc has a bunch of used cabs right now so I...

These are the plugins I use the most. I'm only using the eq for the high pass filter. That's an easy one. I'm using a tube simulator with a clean/mix control. I'm also using a tube emulating compressor. I hooked my cab up to the computer and was able to dial in almost my ideal tone using...

I didn't know where to put this thread. Sorry if it's not in the right place. My hands have been super dry due to work and I messed up and put lotion on them. Well it must have been some really good lotion cause my calluses got super soft. I have to rebuild them now don't I? I can feel...

The more I play on the rumble 500 I just got, the more I'm thinking I may keep it. I've got 3 things that's need changing though. Knobs. I really don't like the stock knobs. Anyone know where I can get different. Replacemet knobs ? The silver grill cloth definitely has to go. I'm thinking...

If you had asked me just yesterday I would ever own a fender product, I'd have laugh at you. I am an absolute brand snob when it comes to fender. I've been having a hard time choosing an amp can cab for practice, but I couldn't Take the muddy sound of my hand me down crate bx80 for one more...

When is too much carpel tunel? My left index is acting up. There is ZERO pain while playing, but when I first wake up, the finger is stiff. If I bend it under its own power I dont notice anything. If I relax the finger and use my other hand to bend that finger, I cab feel slight nodule on the...

This bass us very sterile but also has a lot of basst/low mids. I'd like to fatten up the sound a good bit and ge thighs sparkling. I have tons of software plug ins. I can get a quite an acceptable tone in the box. I have too many bass enhancing plugs, plus sims and all kinds of saturation...

I'd like to accomplish a few different things. I was playing almost exclusively with a pick. I'm trying to move away from using a pick and want to use fingers, but my tone is stale with my fingers. Part of the stale, sterile vibe im getting is I'm just not as good with fingers as I need to...

I have a newish set of hi beams I only had on the bass for maybe 20 minutes, but they are mixed into a pile of used fat beams. Unfortunately I change strings frequently so the used fats have no visual sign of being older. Is there any way to tell fat beams from hi beams? I can't see any...

I dont know the name of the size. It's common. It's what bart and nord uses for normal soap bars. Does anyone make active pups in that size? Can active pups be used with an active pre?

Found this note generator. It plays random notes and you can also change the bpm. It plays a tone a the beginning of every bar. I've been using it both for driving home the notes and also to run arps and inversions. Figured it may be useful to others. Random Music Notes and Chords for...
