how to

I just discovered that if you run the Digitech FreqOut in the "Low Natural Feedback" setting (with no clean signal blended in) into a Sub'N'Up with the "Polyphonic Organ Generator" Toneprint loaded you get an effect that sounds really close to that a typically analog emulated "strings" effect...

Hoping someone can help me with my understanding of these knobs. I did search for this topic on TB and found one thread from 2018 about AMPEG amps and I did watch it for the AMPEG approach. I have also read statements on various sites like: "gain should never be higher than master!" and "master...

Hi Rockers. Im kinda new into gear. And for my new band i have to get a Pedal chain. But im a noob when it comes to cables and stuff. My equipment will be: Spector Legend 4 Bass Fender Rumble 500 Combo - Polytune - Sansamp Bass Driver programmable DI - Boss Ceb 3 Chorus - Boss FB-3 Flanger...

I´ve been asked to play with a quartet - me, sax, trp and drums, so neither piano nor guitar. Any advice/hints/records to check out?

I tried adding the correct one on top/last added as a pic, since the one it was showing (the back of the instrument) was at the top of the list, which seemed like the last one uploaded.. but its still showing the back image in the FS thumbnail. Any help? thanks

Hey, guys! So this summer I will be studying in Valencia, Spain at the Berklee College of Music. I was wondering what the process is of getting my bass from the States to Europe. Is it safe? How should I do it? Do I just take it on the plane? Will materials be an Issue? Any information and tips...

So. I am trying out a B7K Ultra in the parade-o-preamps, and thus far the dirt in it has surpassed what I got out of the MXR M80 (last one of those I had started cutting out weird so I returned it anyway). I like the M80's dirt, but it's just a little too... woody sounding (?), for lack of a...

Context then question: I wanted to fix this, but couldn't get much movement without feeling like I was going to break something. Rib was detached from the lining, lining was still in the right place on the back (with a bunch of cleats from where someone repaired it before). The top of the...

Hi All, I've been trying to make bass cover videos (Instagram/YouTube) lately and I'm still trying to figure out how to remove the bass from the original tunes (mostly mp3 files) in the most efficient way. I have FL Studio 12 and audacity on my computer. By knowing how to do this properly I...

Someone in the UK is going to be very lucky! L2000 in Sonic Blue 3A Roasted Flame Maple neck.

Let me paint the picture for you, because I haven't seen a single helpful post about this concrete issue: I bought a new bass, a Marcus Miller V9, 4 strings. The thing is that the strings were strung through the bridge, and I prefer them through the body, so I changed that, and also adjusted the...

I though about putting this in Gigs/Humor. But (imho) not so funny. Welcome to NJ. Hide your daughters. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Pardon my lack of knowledge, talkbass gurus and wizards. I recently acquired an svt 5 pro with a hartke cab . It sounded AWESOME, but for the type of drop tuning we play in, I couldn't get the volume from the 4x10 due to it only having 400w. I traded STRAIGHT ACROSS for an ampeg svt 7 pro...

Heyo! So I have a lovingly beat to death '58 P that came to me in an equally beat to death replica tweed case. The challenge is that the bass moves around a *ton* in that thing and so I never feel very comfortable transporting the bass in it. I'm more of a player than a collector, but I don't...

There must be one or more threads on this somewhere, but I have not seen them. I have done plenty of local transactions for cash, face-to-face, try-before-you-buy, mostly on CraigsList. Buying and selling, basses, heads, cabs, and misc other (non-musical) personal items. I have yet to do any...

So I made a post in this thread Dropping the bass - love at 50Hz yesterday, and haven't got any answer yet, and probably won't since the thread and post will most likely, and in fact already have, be buried by other threads and posts, so turning to this this sub forum instead for my answer...

Yes, every given volume pedal can in fact be utilized as an expression pedal. You might already know, but to me it's new. I found this piece of information while I was searching for some information of weather input 1 on a Boss FV-50H was connected to output 2, since I then intended to use it...

Edit the track, choose the third tab "Permissions", then enable the download permission in the upper left corner of the dialog.

I have tried now for about an hour to figure out how to open up my new Dynacord Bass King amp but without luck. My plan was to change the 16 Ohm output from the output transformer to the speaker out to the 8 Ohm pin, but the damn thing wont open. Also need to know this if I am going to change...

Hello TB! I've just started using effects on my bass after 8 years of clean playing. Acquired the Zoom B3 because I consider it has a little of everything to start. But got a few questions: 1. Why does it change the output sound when switching the order of the pedals of a Zoom b3 patch? And in...

Cant seem to get a signal thru the xlr inputs... Any ideas?

Been reading about the Bi Sonics, Dark Stars & Humbuckers. How do I tell them apart ??

Hello there! I have in my stock of basses one ibanez SR...dont know the model. I have found serial number and its says it was built in 1995 in Japan, Fuji-gen Plant Factory. The serial is F514748. Dont know how much is worth and i want to know. Thank you for all you help!

First of all I am not clear what some of you probably much better understand. The differences between what one gains by carefully ( not ruining the basses authenticity ) adding active electronics / higher boost pu, and frankly, the labels bassists give to these changes! "Punchiness" "sustain"...

How does one take a recording (say mp3 or equivalent) and process it to isolate the bass? I see all these isolated bass youtube recordings and would like to do the same for my songs library. I have Logic Pro if it helps. Thanks

Hi, I recently bought an Eden WTX500 bass head. Nice amp. I also have a Aguilar Tone Hammer pedal and I was wondering which is the correct way to use the tone hammer as the preamp and just the Eden amplifier stage, I mean to bypass the Eden preamp to avoid messing up the tone by adding one...

Step 1) Move away from the computer. Step 2) Sit on the couch. Step 3) Do nothing. Once you are sitting on the couch doing nothing potentially you could be doing anything, including playing bass, splitting the atom, discovering the meaning of life literally you could be doing anything and the...

There seems to be some sort of film on the hardware that makes it look a bit dull. It doesn't just wipe off with a cloth or fingernail... What can I use to wipe it and make it shine? I'd rather not remove the bridge, just want to wipe it down

I'm trying to learn a bunch of new songs to record, and they are very synth, bass, and low piano driven recordings. It is almost impossible to hear the exact articulations in the bass, the way it is mixed. I tried to find a song that is similarly dense as an example. But the song I linked isn't...

I've sent 3 emails, called 7 times. I simply can't reach them. How did you reach them? Where you able to place an order? How did you order, via email?

Hey guys, I recently started using Amplitude as an alternative to my Ashdown amp for at home/at night practice, and I've found using it with guitars to be great, lots of features and stuff to tweak, but when I plug my bass in I cant seem to be able to get a clean sound... It constantly sounds...

Hey everyone, I have an SWR Workingman's combo that needs some repairs. I figure that this old SS amp is a good thing to learn on. I got this amp for free many years ago and it had a crackly input that would cut out. I left it in a friend's rehearsal studio where I promptly forgot about it. It...

Hi, guys! I'm looking for a student (maybe two) who wants to get some lessons (level beginner - intermediate.). I would like to explore my pedagogical tendency and ready to give 4 lessons for free. By that time we can get to know each other more and you can decide if you want to continue this...

Help is much appreciated: I removed the grill, removed the screws around the speaker rim, and... then what? Seems like there should be some access to the rear of the whole shebang, but I don't see any. Do I just pry the speaker out? This is an SWR Redhead original, if that makes a difference.

I am a Bluegrass guitar player and have been for over 40 years, but now I want to learn how to play Bluegrass Stand up bass so I can sit in with an established band. What are the best resources to use, and most essential first things to learn when trying to accomplish this? Any and all...

OK guys, I am currently in a 3 piece(so far), I have my Royal Blood rig with me at all times. But my Bass VI is underplayed. I bought this instrument cos I love it but have no idea what to use it for. Bass VI users, what do you guys use it for?

I put this bass together a while ago. Have gone back and forth on it for a while and just realized that the issue was the neck. Didn't jive for some reason. Anyway, put this USACG neck that I had on another body on it and it all just works. Unfortunately, I think it could be a little more rock...

I have bought a new SVT-CL and I want to connect it with my 810e with speakon cable. How it should be configured? 1+, 1- on amp side and 1+, 1- on cabinet side? Or as it's with mono-bridge in SVT4pro: 1+, 2+ on amp side and 1+, 1- on cabinet side? There is no clear info in amp manual. Best
