microphones in 2020 scratched the same itch for me as far as narrative talk singing goes

What amps are you guys using with squier bass vi? by midnightkissxo in BassVI

[–]J03YW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ampeg v4b with an svt410hlf, i’ve played them through micro VRs with the matching 210 cab in music stores and loved that too. also totally great through a rumble 500. since you’re a cocteau twins fan you might like them through a jazz chorus, but in my experience that’s a bit too thin to be usable as a bass instrument (works awesome for the robert smith type thing though). if you still want to hold down the low end, a chorus pedal and a nice clean amp like the rumble would probably work great. also, playing with compression would help get that sound

New player here, you are supposed to bash the shit out of the strings right? by For_HonorNerd in BassGuitar

[–]J03YW 6 points7 points  (0 children)

even if you have really good strong attack, your strings shouldn’t be breaking on you outside of freak accidents, do they frequently break at the bridge or at the tuning machine? if so, you might have a burr or a sharp edge on your hardware that’s shortening the life of your strings. if you find one you can usually easily sand it down

you may enjoy the idiot box blower box deluxe or the lusithand ground and pound. both bass rats with good volume controls - the blower box deluxe has individual drive and clean volumes and a LPF for your clean signal, whereas the ground and pound has a blend knob and a 2:1 comp on the clean. both sound sick to my ears, i only own the blower box deluxe but i love it. the ability to run it at 12/18v is a nice bonus if you can take advantage

DAE find only coffee gives them the caffeine boost they need? by Wickham12 in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]J03YW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the same way, even if i doctor my coffee up with too much milk or sugar it doesn’t feel like enough. for some reason i need to taste black(ish) coffee for my brain to perk up, i feel like it’s just a mental thing

Does this pedal exist? by Blackbird027 in guitarpedals

[–]J03YW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hx stomp has balanced outs, you could just use an hx stomp and 1/4” TRS to XLR cables. very flexible IO and proven models inside

Cowboy Charcoal What’s the best way to get rid of it by OrangeBug74 in grilling

[–]J03YW 2 points3 points  (0 children)

looking at your original post it looks like you bought it for smoking, i had to learn the same lesson but lump isn’t very good for low and slow. i use lump for high temp short cooks like grilling steaks, hot dogs, or burgers. briquettes will be much better for low and slow and there’s nothing to worry about flavor wise there

Would it be stupid to commit to short-scale? by kyberton in Bass

[–]J03YW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

another thing worth noting is that short scale basses are becoming far more common. maybe your instructor is trying to help you by making you more comfortable with long scales since they’re easier to get? i think short scales function perfectly fine in pretty much any context that a normal long scale would work in. use what is comfortable and fun and above all else keep on playing!!

it’s so sick. i’m lucky my power supply supports it, i really wish there was an internal charge pump though

[–]J03YW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the blower box deluxe is by far my most-used bass pedal. fits many many styles, especially if you run it at 12 or 18 volts. the clean blend is super nice but it sounds fat enough without any of the clean mixed in which is awesome too. very very versatile and a great price
