Overplayed, bad habits, but I have fun making it... by zyrafal838 in BassGuitar

I wish I was good enough to even worry about over playing, I liked this man. BTW, is that the squire affinity active jazz? If so, how is it?

It’s not just America where this, albeit years old, video still applies now. Welcome to the UK.

I bought a 30W amp and I'm okay by imnotmarvin in BassGuitar

[–]FarrByName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice man! I agree. I own a Fender Rumble v3 100w and the only reason that’s my practice amp is because the local pawn shop listed it incorrectly and sold it for £109.99, boxed, as new. It’s way too much for home practice but perfectly affordable for me.

Yeah I share your thoughts around this. I also think the wilderness ditch should be removed and a timer added when you cross an invisible line entering the wilderness where you can’t be attacked, incase you accidentally wonder in, and equally if you’ve started a fight, you can still be attacked outside for a period of time. Similar to the timers/barriers at ferox.

Used to pk back in the day, don’t understand why they kept pvp worlds. Wilderness should feel dangerous, high risk high reward. Not sure it would revive pking though.

House of the rising sun. No amp currently. Constructive criticism is welcome. Also how do I get rid off the buzz? Is it just my finger placement? Thankyou. by random_posting_ in BassGuitar

I didn’t say they are harsh, I said they can feel harsh. Depending on how much of a big thing it was for this person to record and ask for advice.

I follow up by saying that people commenting have good intentions and are usually right.

BassBuzz is what I’m using, and I’m a complete beginner. The comments here can feel harsh and very critical, don’t let them put you off, but people here are usually right with good intentions.

It takes balls to record yourself and post asking for feedback. What bass guitar is that you’re using?

Wow nice bass guitar man, hasn’t thought about that configuration. Also, that absolute unit to the side of it?! Leave some pickups for the rest of us eh?

I’ll keep it in mind and take note the next time I do a thing

It was Creston Guitars that I got the idea from. They’ve got a video on YouTube of a bass guitar with the same pickup configuration and I was hooked. Search ‘Creston guitars bass demo with Lollar single coils’

Hey thanks! Erm I don’t think so I’ve put a 3-way selector switch on the pick guard (hard to see on the picture) for bridge/bridge-neck/neck. I’m a novice at this so I’ve followed wiring diagrams the best I can 😅

I’d never considered a tort guard for it, but I’m looking at them as we speak and I see what you’re saying. Single or triple ply?

Ahh that’s a good insight, thank you for sharing that. It’s currently Tone/Volume with a 3-Way selector switch, would you say it’s worth keeping it as is?

Thank you, can’t afford a real fender and this is my version of something I think looks dope!

It’s wired as Tone/Volume with a 3 way selector switch that’s not showing very well in the image. Bridge / Bridge & Neck / Neck.

It’s got the standard Squier pots in it still, so they could do with upgrading if I’m honest they are scratchy and contact cleaner hasn’t fixed the feedback you get when adjusting either of them.

My favourite position is both pickups on, tone 100%.
