word of advice: don't ever sell that bass. i guarantee you will regret it at some point.

it's getting harder to find genuinely positive and constructive people in the world these days. and JRA always seemed to be supportive and kind in every interaction on TalkBass. RIP Jim. Hope you are adding some FUNKY deep pockets to that great gig in the sky!

so you stiiiiiil, haven't foooooound, what you're looking foooooooorrr....??

+1 for Westone! i like that you can purchase various different db filters. i use the 15s for drums and 8s for bass. best not to skimp on ear protection, especially with so many great options these days!

as a kid, i loved watching terry bozzio, neil peart, tony williams. these days, i'm really diggin adam deitch, alan hertz, nate smith, and benny greb, and the list goes on.... too many amazing options to choose from! oh, and Joe Russo is like a human version of Animal from the muppets.

love me some Sneezeblood eyeball...especially on the electrolux!

....and while the QSC K-series is a preferred unit, I've had pretty good experience with my CP12 for similar applications. a bit easier on the pocketbook, and a slightly more compact design. it might not cover as much low end, but works well in plenty of smaller room applications.

i'm all in for a vocal preamp! i get why you might not want to dive into effects processing, but maybe an efx loop so users could add some flexibility. ...shades of Echomaster

every now and then (especially when i hear old recordings of it) i really miss my L-1505.

For wildcard, my go-to is Red Panda i frequently remove my tensor from my board to make room for other stuff, but then i always put it back on because i miss what it does., especially with an expression pedal.

if i had to keep it to 2-3 (and assuming my base-tone is covered via amp/DI/comp as desired) i'd probably go with: envelope filter (i like the josh-wah or Fwonkbeta) Octave pedal (i like the MXR options) dirt/boost (i like Sushi Box preamps or a TC Spark, or pork/pickle) if no compressor in...

yeah, i misunderstood the OP's original thread. i stand corrected. 👍

You might consider a source audio C4. So many pitch shifting options!

my good buddy has two cheap Jay Turser versions, and he is one of the funkiest bass players i know. he also has some of the most unique playing technique so i think the tighter string spacing works in his favor. but it's a great reminder every time I play with him that the truly talented...

rhythm is everywhere!

drummer here.... if the drummer is working on specific parts of tunes, maybe engage with them about it, to understand what they are working on. if the drummer is tuning/tweaking the drums constantly, maybe it is an effort for them to try to get their kit tuned up to the room (there's a time and...

i've heard "glowing" reviews about the Tarantula Fuzz from Sushibox FX.... https://www.sushiboxfx.com/product/tarantula-fuzz/ no first-hand experience (yet).

From what I've read here, More doesn't really break up, it's more of a clean headroom preamp to just give you more of whatever you run into it. More -> Elementary sounds interesting, but i have not first-hand experience with those pedals, so not sure Watt it will sound like. maybe others will...

yes, i think there can be a point of diminished returns, especially if you are not keeping gain stages in check. my current board has a UA at the front and Finally at the end. i find that the UA provides enough saturation and tone shaping to help feed everything down-chain, the Finally is the...

the Finally is my all-time favorite (replacing my space heater), and i don't even have the newer version with the hpf. seems like you are wanting More tube goodness, so perhaps that's the answer ;)

i don't have either More or Greenhouse, but i think you can't go wrong either way. Greenhouse could give you more versatility, especially if you want to add other pedals into the loop, but folks seem to really love the MORE-ness. maybe get both and flip the one you don't prefer...?

YES! 10/27 dancin-franklins with young and juiced up brent getting really comfortable in the band! that run is spectacular!! thanks for the reminder ;)

the work horse chooses you....

my pleasure! I've found so many great bands/shows on this app.

I am thoroughly enjoying this in-depth analysis of an improvised jam from 27 years ago! They were definitely loose back then, and taking a lot of risks on stage. some nights they were extremely tight, and some nights they were less so. so grateful for all the quality recordings of this band...

the drummer: Alan Hertz Alan used to (and still does) throw long syncopated phrases all over the place to keep the rhythm section on their toes. those Spring 98 shows were some of my favorite live shows ever (to date). so much freedom and energy. And Bobby was at the center of it all, keeping...

thanks!! added to the queue for Relisten...early Brent years has some excellent energy! and some of my favorite tones from each respective instrument/player. greater than the sum of their parts.

and i wonder if my lack of first-hand experience (only recordings for reference) and feelings of excitement colored my impressions at the D&C shows. there's a particular crispness on those late 79 recordings that sticks out to me though. i'm sure it was a combination of factors, including the...

that bass sounded so good at Golden Gate park! ...those late 79 shows, the bass sounds so thick and growly. i always wonder why it didn't stay in the rotation very long.

hey, does anyone have a good source for the small screws that are used with for the pick-guard, etc.? a few of mine have rusted substantially, so i'm looking to replace, and not sure if they are a standard or custom type. thanks!

that bass looks amazing!! stoked you got a custom inlay... that was not an option when i ordered mine a few years back.

Juan and (Nick) turned me on to so many awesome pedals on their YT channel. but more importantly, they showed the musicality of the pedals, and how they work individually and with others....it's so good to see him again, and i hope the sale is a big success for him and his family.

i have not tried finally with vocals, but i have run my glass butterfly and space heater through my efx loop on my board, and they both sweetened up the vocals significantly. i bet the finally would add some really nice character to vox signal for sure!

+1 on the Diamond/Mesa combo....so much fatness!

i have had pretty good results with Jamkazam, especially when using a metronome or drum machine (usually provided by the host, or person with best internet service). and the speed/latency improves signinficantly on off-peak hours. we usually go without video to clean up the signal. they have...

I'm so sorry Nathan, this is just terrible. I am dealing with much of the same reality in my line of work, and i am really worried for my industry as well. (we've actually paused all imports from China temporarily, due to the high tariff rates, and uncertain conditions moving forward). It's...

welcome to TalkBass! you've found the right spot to gain a lot of information about the bass. this does seem like an atypical first bass, mostly considering the string gauge vs scale length as you are becoming more comfortable with the instrument. i'm sure you could get your bass set up...

...by all means, bro! don't postpone joy :cool:

yeah, i saw his post in Instagram as well. the comments section reminded me why i cannot be on social media (aside from TB). it's really frustrating to see so many supporters of these tariffs doing all the mental gymnastics to rationalize a completely chaotic and irrational policy platform, as...

....and what about things that cannot be made in the U.S.? and who says a manufactured trade war is ever going to benefit the "common good"?
