    Best bass overdrive?

    As always, "best" is subjective. I can tell you what I do: Joyo Orange Juice into a second Joyo Orange Juice (always on) into a Joyo F.O.H. (always on). Low end for ages, grind, bite, punch, definition, *anything else you consider great* WITHOUT that disgusting farting sound I find in 99,9% of...

    Want to see something really scary? (FedEx content)

    This is what happened to me in Italy some time ago: I had this pedal sent me from Venice. I live in Crema, just east of Milan. This is the path it should have done to get to me: instead it went from Venice to Udine, then Bologna, then Piacenza, then Turin, put on delivery in Settimo Torinese...

    Replacing speaker cabs to increase sensitivity

    It's already there. Two cabs. 8 ohm, 200 watts (some say 260). Still, with a Mesa PH 1x15 cab (4 ohm, 100w output from the head) it's monstrously louder. Why don't I just use the PH cab, then? Because it weighs a ton (the whole Ampeg rig weighs less than that single cab) and I don't want to...

    Replacing speaker cabs to increase sensitivity

    I love my Micro VR rig. I really do. My only gripe is the cabs have a fairly low sensitivity rating (95, IIRC) and I wondered if replacing speakers could help me increase it. Sometimes I have to push the head harder than I'd like (I have to SVT210AV cabs). Last time I tried it with a single Mesa...

    does anyone mic their amps live instead of going DI?

    I'd love if so-called "sound guys" here in Italy did... I have never met one. So I went my own way in order to "cabsimize" my DI sound. Like it or not, it's a cheap combo... and to me it sounds magnificent, with both the P bass and the Stingray. The advantage is that whenever I need to tweak...

    Which strings do you use/like/prefer on your P Bass?

    EB Slinky Flatwounds. Not cheap, but they have the advantage (totally subjective!) on sounding equally great both when brand new & zingy and when old, broken in and "warmer". I would normally replace strings when they get "thuddy" and lose presence, but these ones sound so great to me even then.

    Can you quit bass?

    That's pretty much what happened to me with drums. I still have them. Heck, I will occasionally sell and buy cymbals, still....but I don't have any more drive for any live/studio duty. It's just gone. I guess I am both satisfied by my record AND sick of doing it once more. Whatever. BUT: I still...

    Stingray Special & SBMM Sterling: Comparison

    'Tis the reason why I sold my Special.

    If you could only have two…

    Thanks! It's a Sterling Stingray 5, satin mahogany finish. Got it for less than 300€ with a f...ed up preamp (previous owner wanted to mod it by adding a coil switch and ended up messing it up). I replaced that with a Seymour Duncan preamp (and pickup) which did cost me more than the bass LOL...

    what brands of basses have you owned... or not?

    Rockbass Epiphone (gone in 60 seconds...literally!) Squier Fender Sterling Music Man Some will call this blasphemy but I sold the MM as it didn't give me anything significant more than the Sterling. I still own all the other ones.

    VT Bass - Still on your board?

    I used to have the Deluxe version, many years ago, and I never liked it, it always sounded as if it was "subtracting" something from my sound rather than "adding". Spent years and lots of money trying basically every iteration of the Bass Driver available, always ending up taking it off the...

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    I had to move my Stagebug as far as possible from the side of my Cioks 4 because I was getting lots of hum from it. I tried all kinds of cables to no avail. Is it just me?

    Brand new EB Cobalt Flat string broke while installing it

    Never understood if after step #3 I have to start wrapping it the other way around, like an "8" shape, or start winding it in the same direction. It says to make the first wrap on the outside but I don't understand if it means the side facing "out of the headstock", assuming there is any...

    Patch cables, PSU and interference

    I'll try to keep it short. My board is a Rockboard tres 3.1, and I used to attach the PSU and its adapter on a small additional platform called "The Tray" attached on the bottom of the board. On one side of it, I had my DI box, a Radial Stagebug. This is "the tray": Later, I replaced "The...

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    It seems to track really well. Half step down is what I use it for. Two steps down on the open low B still sounded great on a quick test... didn't try below that, didn't care for the octave settings.

    Tone Control?...I don't need no stinkin' tone control!

    As far as I'm concerned, my ideal bass would have neither a tone knob or a volume knob. I've always had both maxed out and never, never, never needed to use different "settings". (Passive P bass)

    Which bass do you still want, even though you know you don't like it?

    1- A 5-string Thunderbird. Either reverse or non-reverse. I owned one in the past and it sounded awfully muddy and "sloppy". I want to believe I got a lemon. 2- A 5-string Cabronita, but I am sure I would LOVE that. So, if anybody knows someone in the EU which builds it, let me know, thanks.

    Meanwhile, in Italy ... ...that's for a 5-string set. And it's even lower than a month ago (it reached 72€).

    Who is actually using a multi-FX live, and is happy with it?

    Boss MD-500. All the mod effects needed and then some. I would usually have all the other pedals into the MD-500 FX loop, only to be able to individually set up every modulation as "pre" or "post" loop.
