Stone/Doom Bassists Thread Part 39: Flip Flops & Zubaz!

Well I don't really buy into everyone in the band using the same tuner. I've never done that and I've never run into issues. I think as long as people aren't using broke tuners and try to stay in tune, everything will be fine.

But you really shouldn't use a pedal like a TU-2 to do intonation. It just isn't accurate enough. But apparently that Sonic Research one is much more accurate, so it would be appropriate. Most respectable techs will use a actual high end strobe tuner to intonate.

I think if that's what you have it will get the job done if your on a budget. I bought a peterson strobo-flip some time back for better setups, it works ok. It's a slight learning curve from using a tu-2 for so long.
 
Hey guys, I've been a quasi-lurker here for a while but I've always felt a bit too awkward to start posting here as a habit. Anyways, since this is pretty much the friendliest place on TB, I was wondering if anybody could give me some tips on mixing/syncing tracks on Audacity or point me towards a more intuitive program. I've been trying to make a jamtrack for myself but I've ended up creating a pretty monstrous cluster**** in the process.



What happened to that super-awesome Rat King you had a while ago? :(


Hi, welcome! I agree with what's already been said, Reaper is a very good option for a free DAW. Good quality, relatively easy to use, plenty of decent VST based plug-ins available free or cheap.

Sonic research strobe tuner is the best pedal tuner I've ever used. Very accurate, almost too acurate, and actually requires you to learn how to use it. But I never worry about if I'm out of tune or not (but a lot of times my guitarists are).

The Korg Pitchblack is my second favorite, big easy to read display, and tracks a low F without using harmonics, no other tuners I've owed do that...even the sonice reseach...again sometimes too acurate

I use the Korg Pitchblack too and I`m completely happy with it. I tune down to C with no problem in tracking.
 
Stopped by Fuller's vintage guitars today. Had some sweet grestch basses and 2 dusty hill p basses. All sounded great especially the dusty hill basses. Also played a uke bass… ridiculous…ly awesome. It sounded HUGE. Sounded like a double bass. Seriously, if you guys get a chance play one do it.

I want that black and maple single coil precision. If it were the walnut stain looking type...I might asking you for their phone number right now. honestly, I have never played one, I just love the way they look. I could make it sound good, for that level of mojojojo.
 
I've always wanted some kind of P bass. I love the sound of a nice P but I can never get along with their necks.

+1.

I can totally see my next bass being a custom P from Warmoth.

Jazz neck, blocks/maple. red p black guard. cream pickup covers. bridge cover. mmmm. thanks for the gas.

It would have to be under 8lbs though. Closer to 7, the better.
 
i can see my next bass being a short scale SG bass with a rick bridge pup, and the one after that being an old school Epiphone Rivoli for that delicious semi-hollow Animals tone that QOTSA shamelessly rip off. heeell yeah.

one of my band-friends has a black 70s P with lindy fralin pickups in it - godlike P tone. it used to have EMGs which were quite unpleasant.

Welcome! That rat king was pretty awesome. Although it was just a standard RK that I had Ry add a clean blend on to it. I unfortunately had to sell it as I was pretty much unemployed at the time. After a ton of testing and A/B'ing with my other Rats I found that even though the added features were cool I just used my other two Rats more and it didn't make sense to have 3 rats. Now that I'm employed again one he first things I did was order the demon king (custom color, clean blend, and had the footswitch order switched) since I liked that RK so much I wanted some of the same features but with a different sound so the DK seemed like a good option for it. I'm stoked for it.
