    Tone Options Ibanez sr755

    So I'm running this bad boy as my main solo tool / funk machine. I have a high C installed and wouldn't mind some techs or pedal savvy guys throwing me in the right direction. It has nordstrands in it, with a maple / bubinga dual body. I want to know if im able to grab a pedal that's going to...

    Stu Hamm is the best solo bassist period.

    Random reasons why you like the dude, I really like victor Wooten because he's great at playing and he's humble? Cool

    Decent at playing tell me how to slap?

    I've got the double thumb Marcus miller pluck down I can slap actual notes but every time I hear blanks on a track I don't know what the bassist is doing. I have good rhythm is there any way I can mentally understand how to mute the slaps? Is it just constant right hand slap while the left is...

    Why do people think that more notes = better?

    Someone's probably said it but I'd day it's to do with personality types man or how people grow up can definitely influence what they see is good

    Not a poll, but do you prefer active or passive & why,,

    I'm really into good passive pick ups with the option to switch on active to give it extra grunt and clarity above the 12th fret. My fingers prefer the active set up since I don't dig in as hard to get the grunt :D

    Do you judge a bass player based on the brand that he uses?

    Of course, intial thoughts are based of statistics. Doesn't mean their either good or bad, you only assume.

    Looking for growl under $1500

    I own a Ibanez sr755 and it definitely growls with the nordstrand split and single coil pick ups. Ernie ball Round wounds with a pick and a GK amp and cab boosted 3/4 high mids. It's a subtle growl that can be pushed with some tweaking and putting the amp on boost setting.

    Performing after a couple beers

    Alcohol is good for that man. It's all about feeling, know your body and how it affects you. There's not much to it if it works great EDIT: I reread what you're saying in this thread and from the sounds of it you probably shouldn't be playing on stage if you're prone to serious anxiety and...

    Does my jazz bass sound weird?

    How's the condition of the pick ups? From what I hear it does sound a bit like you're plucking at a metal wire. But it's not terrible at all, does it sound the same with a pick? Could be a potentially dud string? Every bass sounds different honestly it sounds like you're getting a more high...

    NBD - Fretless - P Bass - Parts Bass

    Looks sweet BAG, the chromes will definitely settle down. I'd keep the fender logo on but that's just me, everyone's brand hungry in the SYD will probably add to some value haha. if you feel like it, id love to hear just a snippet of the bass in action :)

    What red flags to look for in a fender standard p

    Always ask about the truss and check it if possible. I've bought guitars that have had straight necks with dead strings. Put new strings on the neck has bowed like Legolas' go to. Then for some reason there's no more room to turn the truss? Weird hey

    So fender vs squire...

    I understand if someone's playing aggressively with couple day old strings on stage. It's gonna happen, but honestly if you've got problems with them maybe stop oiling your bass.

    What do you reckon is the better fretless deal??

    I asked the owner to send me a Soundcloud clip of the bass. (Obviously to hear the pickups in their glory), he sent me a muffled recording of a song. He's taken 3 weeks of being pretty vague to get back to me. Nothing to do with the bass. So I just said no to another toy. If you get it hope...

    Red P-Bass or Black P-Bass, but what color Pick Guard?

    I reckon red with black is a winner either neck would look mad. But because it's pretty hot I'd go maple for the bite

    I just can't gel with this bass I thought I'd love....

    Ok so the necks wide, is that something you can work around? I prefer the Jazz profile necks and will only use them. A tip from me would be play the octave with your pinkie finger and skip out on the ring finger. I play a p5, I sacrifice think neck for tone. As for the amp from every...

    Stage etiquette.

    What do you guys think of bands, specifically band members performing obviously drunk as headliners at semi-serious shows? I pretty much just saw a band that I had a load of respect for trash their show due to the fact they thought it was more important to hang on to the emotional drawn out...

    Flea plays the National Anthem at Kobe Bryant's last game

    That was terrible, I'm a fan of the Peppers older stuff. I don't think he even knew how bad that was. I feel sorry for everyone having to listen to that poopie respectfully, especially Kobe. Time to hang up the bass mate.

    Tell me more? What does the tone styler do? I love the stock tone as well. It's slightly muddy recording, would the tone styler tighten the sound?

    Cleaning up a Squiers' signal

    That sounds like the way to go! I'm going to change the pots as well because they're obviously cheap. The tone pot has a undefined 4/10 flat setting towards the end of the tone off. Thanks for your help :)
