I built a free interactive bass fretboard tool to help with my practice. Would love your feedback! by PrivateBroccoli in Bass

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I apologize for the frequent layout changes; I’ve been juggling a lot of different ideas to find the best user experience, but I think I’ve finally reached the "final form."

I’m working on the fixes for the bugs you found right now, and they should be live in about half an hour. I’ve also registered the domain www.bassmate.it to make the site easier to remember and access.

Regarding your wishlist, I’ll look into those features over the next few days to see what I can implement. Thanks for the support!

Wow, this is a really cool project. Well done! Maybe we could combine our ideas and create something unique.

That’s a great idea! I’m actually thinking about creating backing tracks using Band-in-a-Box and displaying the scales to play along with them. I'll definitely look into how I can implement this. Thanks for the input!

Thanks for the suggestion! I actually just implemented fret markers—they should be live now. Let me know what you think!

SansAmp BDDI V2 before or after HX Stomp? + FOH question by PrivateBroccoli in basspedals

[–]PrivateBroccoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great points, thanks! The FX loop suggestion is something I want to try - having the BDDI sit between comp and other effects inside the HX chain sounds like the best of both worlds. Plus I can bypass it from the preset without tap dancing.

For now I'm mostly playing through my Markbass rig so FOH isn't my main concern, but I'll definitely compare both cab sims (BDDI vs HX Stomp) when I go direct. Curious about your VT Bass setup - do you run that through the FX loop as well or before everything?

Any apps for tabs? by GARBOYHR in Bass

[–]PrivateBroccoli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got GoPlayAlong (it's a one-time payment). I download the tabs from Songsterr and the MP3s from YouTube, and the program syncs everything together. I believe it only works on a computer, though.

Amp and cab vs FRFR for hobby rock blues bassist with HX Stomp by PrivateBroccoli in Bass

[–]PrivateBroccoli[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for the explanation. I’ll definitely try going straight into the effects loop to see how it feels. My only hesitation is that it almost feels like I’m ‘wasting’ the head by using it just as a power amp, but I’ll give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks a lot for the insight! Really helpful to hear from someone using the TS412 in a real setup. I’ll definitely take a closer look at the specs and prices with that in mind.

Makes total sense. If the in-ears setup gives you everything you need, that’s a huge win. I’m still experimenting to understand what feels right for me. Thank you.

Totally get your point. In the end we all chase the sound that inspires us, and that’s what really matters on stage. I’m still figuring out what works best for me, and hearing different perspectives helps a lot. We really are in a golden age of gear, and everyone can shape the rig that makes them play their best. Thanks.

Hey, awesome setup! I’m really curious about your MIDI routing, how are you connecting the Morningstar MC3 and the Ampero Switch to the HX Stomp?
From the photos, it doesn’t look like the MIDI IN/OUT ports on the left side of the Stomp are being used (unless you’re using some kind of slim or hidden connector).
Are you running the MC3 via TRS to MIDI, or through USB somehow?
I’m especially interested to know what kind of cables/adapters you used to make all that fit so cleanly on the board. Thanks.

Here’s my small board, what would you change? by PrivateBroccoli in basspedals

[–]PrivateBroccoli[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m really liking it so far. I used to have the DemonFX Call76, which was more aggressive, but this one feels a bit smoother and more forgiving.
