Still don’t love jinjer... even though theoretically I should as they tick all the boxes about metal that I like they just don’t seem amazing... would prefer old system of a down where even though it’s some pretty crazy metal at times they just bridge the clean / metal better / more accessible? I know that seems hypocritical from a DEP fan!

can’t wait to hear what you cook up with that thing!

yeah. it’ll be a bit of a learning curve for me. (nothing like the octatrack, etc., thank goodness.)

maybe some day i’ll play some gigs where i’ll be able to use it. :meh:


@theunknowndude. sorry, you are very, very wrong. you *do* like them. really, really like them. ;)

Anyone doing anything ambient with an upright? I just managed to acquire my first ever DB in a trade.

I used to have an upright. It was cool, definitely helped with the ladies in college when I'd bust that thing out...but I was never able to do anything remotely ambient with mine, but that was never my intention.

not me personally. i haven't played upright seriously for a while. i did do a more groove-oriented track on upright recently.

i feel like i've heard something that veered ambient on upright, but can't remember who/what. probably one of the bands on hubro or runegramaphone.
