So, the OP is trying to sell this for $200?

Sorry you can't have mine!

I hate a 'stiff bass'. I'd much prefer to pick it up and have it go completely flaccid. I mean who hasn't wanted to play a bass that melts out of your hands.

Bingo

It's a steal compared to the few grand Yamaha will ask you for their patented "acoustically activated body" or whatever it's called.

Bingo

I've been using this for years on my strings to make sure my reggae groove is as deep as it could be.

Trust me, the baby is stiff as it can be. Any fast lick gets me stuck badly. Will post the A recording in about 2h.

Okay, I just thought you were actually unable to play faster licks, and that something like this device would fix that

 

[bassfunkman]

You ARE the dude from the TV show Friends.

Sorry, quite the resemblance from the vid!

Getting that a lot...singers announce me as "Chandler Bing on bass" all the time

I'm always cracking up about my bass-faces when I watch videos of myself playing bass...can't help it

Eh. Before and after samples & "trust me, you'll be amazed." Yeah.

Nope. I almost can hear "down line" somewhere in that pitch.

bassfunk, the way to satisfy the naysayers is to take down your "before" sample, re-record a new one but don't post it until you also post the "after."

When you post them just name them "A" and "B" without telling us which is which. Wait a few pages of rabble rousing and then reveal the answer.

IMO you should put new strings on prior to doing the "before" recording, to eliminate the variable of your 10 year old strings "waking" up from the vibrations.

what did the ToneRite do that you didn't like? Didn't make a difference, or made your bass sounds worse?

Still, unless you're guaranteed the same amp settings (precisely), bass settings and/or identical attack and performance, this is an exercise in futility.

Well, assuming we trust him to report honestly, it's not hard to replicate any of those things, outside of attack and performance, and even that shouldn't be too hard to replicate within statistical tolerances.

Does the source of the vibrations make any difference? If you left your bass on top of the washing machine or drove around with it in your car would it work?

Tks for the tip. Thought about doing that in the first place, but the results with all my basses have been criminal so far, colleagues from a gospel group where I always play my Smith asked me if I got a new bass?!? The naysayers will say nay anyway, that's why they are called naysayers

Those strings would only wake up if they were from Transylvania

I do not intend to persuade nobody in any way, just sharing info about a pretty cool tool that is probably unknown to most members.

You mean Makita?

Woah.

Tell me - is that star a dog?
