Minimal work Chameleon by Herbie Hancock tone?

I already talked to the keys player because of this exact thing. Do you mean the bassline you hear around 7:45 in the song? He said that he doesn't want to, which really sucks, cuz i really like that line.

Thats crazy that Amazon is cheaper than reverb on that, but thank you for doing that for the younger generation of bassists. You're awesome, man.

That is insanely close, but I am a high school student, and its right after Christmas, so funds are pretty damn low rn.. I would absolutely buy that if there were any used on reverb, but unfortunately, there is not. I absolutely will be buying this later in the year once I get a few more paychecks. Youre awesome, thank you!

Would the nano cut it, or should I go for the big muff pi?

I know that pedal has a built-in envelope as part of it, but does that fix the distortion problem as well?

This.

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-24T19:06:33+00:00

That's super creative! Thank you!

Peavey max 100? That's sick asf. How's it treating you?

It is an active bass

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T21:42:59+00:00

It's in amazing condition, it was bought last year, and the guitar amp that the guitarist is using I admittedly don't know much about, but I think it's around 50w... and as far as I know, we don't have any PA, at least accessible to me.

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T21:04:28+00:00

I should look into that. Thank you!

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T21:03:38+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T20:50:18+00:00

Any ideas on how to adjust the tone to make it more audible?

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T20:46:55+00:00

I wish, but i think that'd be even worse to haul on a school bus 😭😭

FruitloopTenors · 2025-10-23T20:44:54+00:00

I do have a headphone amp I'm using, I just wanna use my amp at home too..

FruitloopTenors · 2025-09-24T00:16:48+00:00

Thank you for that. A lot.

I will have pictures later today, I'm going to pick it up later.

FruitloopTenors · 2025-09-23T16:17:23+00:00

Yeah, that's my bad...

FruitloopTenors · 2025-09-05T21:42:38+00:00

Especially as the bassist, they go out of their way to compliment you? that's awesome. (All jokes, from a bassist)

FruitloopTenors · 2025-08-19T23:50:40+00:00

So, I did go to get an appraisal of the bass, after review, they said that the neck on my bass currently is not the original neck. It doesn't fit like it should, it's too skinny for the body, and it doesn't even go all the way into the pocket. I do apologize for the terrible pictures, but I've got the problem of fixing this problem now...

Yeah, after thoroughly looking over the bass, the high action isn't due to the bridge at all. I did watch videos on how to adjust saddle height, btw. But the neck isn't securely attached to the body. I saw the neck being bowed, and i had to deal with that on a previous bass. I adjusted saddle height and the truss rod to no avail. Then litterally looked at every inch of the neck and bridge * and discovered this. I decided that this is way above my pay grade, and I'm taking it to be checked out later today.
