It's the first or physical button on this processor. It has a few different preset compressor types (mild, high band, orange, fat, etc) I'm not much into effects especially for bass but after so much reading I knew it would be to my advantage. Some of the guys I play with now are older...

My buddy and I have played for years together. He's always been front man. Plays rythym guitar and know lyrics to quite a few songs. For years we just messed around, he played and sang whatever he wanted, I played bass and sang backup harmonies. We've both been in bands and the drama that...

I posted up about this last week. Not sure where... The RC-600 IS a lot to get my head around at first. Some of you advised me to go smaller and simpler but there's just too many good features on this, doesn't really fall short anywhere. I still have about 3 weeks to return it but I won't...

I've been posting up quite a bit lately... Currently have... Boss GT-1B Processor Boss RC-5 Looper Boss RC-500 2 LOOP Pedal Primary concern is playing solo. I've had the GT-1B for a year or two, use it through a Rumble amp(s) for bass and guitar. Very happy with it, it's not going...

As I've said in prior posts, I just started to play my first paying gigs, acoustic duo with my bud. A few weeks ago we did our first one. As usual he randomly picks what he decides to play next. He's the front man, IDC much its fine. Well he picks Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles, figuring...

I got the RC-5 two days ago. Ordered the RC-500 for vocal tracks. Last night I was able to put together a nice loop modifying the drums, getting a specific sound from my GT-1B for rythym guitar and laying down a good bass line. It's there whenever I need it !!!! Have an older Kustom 2...

Long Story I'll do my best to keep it short. Buddy and I got together and formed a duo. I've never played a live paid gig before. Approached a local VFW for a gig. They've never had live entertainment. (I'm sure at some point over the last 50 years ???) Anyway I'm talking price with the...

Tonight I'll be playing out in an acoustic duo. Most of the songs I'll be playing my bass straight into my Rumble bass amp. A few songs I'll be playing an electric guitar. I'll be plugging both guitars into the AB/Y, and using the toggle function on it. Has anyone else done this ? Thanks...

My buddy cleaned out his closet and brought a bunch of stuff into work. I figured it was all junk, but I'm already needing and using the Kustom pedal on my Boss GT-1B, the metronome I used last night to try and slow us down on a song. Has a light on top that always blinks. Pull a knob on...

Hi Guys Girls, A few months ago I downloaded a driver from the Boss website that allows me to record straight to DAW via USB. It went well after a little reading and setting adjustments. I've added two more control switches for CTL2 and CTL3 (the foot switches), and you probably know once I...

I've been moving forward and trying different things. In the process acquired several Fender Rumble pieces and my GT-1B. Right now I'm working on playing out either myself or as an acoustic duo. TBH it's looking more like a solo act. Yesterday at work I was talking about this situation and...

I ordered and received my first set of TI Jazz strings and I'm pretty excited TBH. The black Ibanez is my go to and gets used the most, it has chrome flats. The fretless, I've been having a ton of fun with lately and I have no idea how long those flats have been there. More than two years...

The 45-105 on the top back isn't making sense to me. I know they are most likely 105, 90, 70, 55. I'm going to measure/mic them before I put them on. The more balanced Dia is what I'm looking forward to trying..

My buddy came across this last weekend at a flea market, I got it for $80. It's in good shape, a few minor dings/scratches nothing to bother me. It has the pushbutton straplocks I think that was from the factory. Can't wait to put the Fender Flat Stainless on and set it up !!!! I've never...

How many attempts/ rock bands did it take before you found one you didn't walk away from ? I'm playing with this band about 2 months and last practice the drummer ( whose has the practice space and put this "secondary" band together) pulls some kind of dramatic dick move on me. The next day I...

SUNNY is the brand. Listed on FB market place for around $100. Thanks, Joe

A new set of chrome flats to replace the round stocks that my SS came with over a year ago.... Played it all night. Gave it some love and cleaned it up a bit too....

Just an exciting (for me) adventure that starts tomorrow. My buddy builds guitars, cheap ones mostly. I have two from him and would never part with either. Anyway another friend sent me a Craigslist ad last night. Someone is selling the raw bodies of the cheap inexpensive kits at a big...

I plugged this into my Rumble for the passive Pickups tonight. The sound was incredible and I hammered on it like a guitar. Never thought I'd be using this again but I had such a ball !!! Also a pic of a MIM Fender Jazz my buddy got at an estate sale. I plan on plugging this in soon as well...

That's what I want. My local builder says just get a body and he'll order the neck, design it how I want. It'll be interesting for certain. He's pretty creative and I find most of his work nice to look at. This one isn't mine but I could probably ask what my son's friend wants for it. He...

I just gotta share it here. I've sung backup/harmony in bands I've been in. Kind of seemed like an afterthought sometimes...I know there's a few that I can handle lead on, just never really got the chance. This new bunch, everyone sings. There is no lead singer. Practice tonight I...

I recently aquired a used Rumble 100 for Practice. I also recently acquired a new Rumble 500 Combo with a 2X10 cab for Gigs. I should note right off the bat I'll only be taking the combo not the cab which should be 250-350 watts Not 100% sure which...It's only 500 watts with the additional cab...

Within the last year I got everything together to start laying down my own stuff. After all was said and done I'd spent a considerable amount (laptop, interface, software, midi controller) I'm casual, I'm not polishing my songs, I'm having fun creating and recording. I know I need some...

I looked through my settings, everywhere I could, turned on what I could, signatures and emoticons don't appear in my feed. It is sort of a bummer, any suggestions ? Thanks, Joe

Last Thursday out of the blue I texted my buddy and said I was wondering what the odds were of him babysitting me while I did my first set up. I'd noticed the neck on my SR had bowed and the action was getting too high to be fun anymore. Note I didn't want him to do it, he'd set up one or two...

Recently been turned on to the rumble in several sizes and got a new 500 combo last weekend. I'm already trying to find time to research, acquire a good cab match. I'd rather stay in the used market if possible, Be checking craigslist and FB Marketplace. Output jack says 8 ohm 250 Watt. Just...

Hello All Good Day to You. I've been playing about 10 years and my first amp was/is a GK MB115. It doesn't have the option to hook another powered speaker to it. Now I'm in a band and playing smaller gigs but I can already tell i need or want or both something bigger. I use a GT_1B processor...

Hi everyone This is my first real post and I'm happy this forum exists It's already helped me countless times. Whenever I ask a question Talkbass usually comes up, finally occured to join. Antway our band is doing Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. At 168 BPM it's the fastest I've ever had to play. I...
