How do you Power your bass??

[FuryZ]

I guess it could have been my eq, or I could have been using the wrong cheese. You did allow the sheep to defecate on your head though? If not, try eating some whey.

 

[quadebass17]

I like to boogie. And by "boogie" I mean "bring the funk" and by "the funk" I mean unwashed gym wear. And by "unwashed gym wear" I mean raw eggs. Protein = power. For bass. Yes.

 

[Valerus]

[rockr4Christ]

Guitarist... As a student of physics I found that with all the notes he was playing, he was maybe getting about 5% efficiency (95% of them were superfluous) so I hooked him up to a generator to use his power for good.

A funny story similar to the battery thread, but not involving bass: I once convinced my friend that his car was low on headlight fluid, and he went to sears and asked how much they charge to change it. Great day.

Consider a wild badger for a vicious, growling tone.

 

[Vic Winters]

I use the power of rock and occasionally Force Lightning, Palpatine style.

There are other means? I didn't know that.

And what's with the poll? Is that necessary?

Alembic is one.

 

[musicelectronix]

I only use will power and "the force" when I am powering up my bass.

 

[Ninja>Pirate]

btw, i don't find it 70's vintage. i get a good funk slap out of it though.

Nope, just funk from cottage cheese... the wrong kind of funk.

What if you don't know how to really regulate the amount of "force" that you exert?
