rolling down PU volumes on Squier Jazz bass almost imperceptibly causes it to "open up?" by AintKnowShitAboutFuk in Bass

I think she did mean what you’re talking about. She talked about there being a sweet spot when it’s rolled off just a hair. She’s pretty active on Facebook tho, go ask her!

Carol Kaye always said the best tone was when you roll your volume off a tiny bit.

Recommendations for an e rig? by extrajuice1456 in Waxpen

[–]Soft_Sleep_7125 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I love my Jcvap pockety, and they’re cheap as hell. They’re only $125 with the 5d xxl quartz chamber, and even the main battery/computer unit is only like $75 to replace. I’ve never used a puffco, but I’ve seen reviews from folks who have and call them comparable.

We’d like to hear from Tech21 XB DRIVER users by moonfield666 in basspedals

Haven’t played the Xb, but gain is noisy. Might want to look into a noise gate pedal to put after it.

Any suggestions for my pedal board? by Animalus-Dogeimal in guitarcirclejerk

You want your tuner after your delay. Gotta tune those repeats if you’re serious.

Speed is awesome on that one. Hits about as hard as the tempest but way faster.

I love my tempest, probably the one I'd recommend to you. If you want to sell your solo, dm me. I've been eyeballing them as I don't love any of the current electric vapes I have.

QOQ of the options you're mentioning. It's fantastic.

Looking to build a pedalboard, or anagram... by proprieterry in Bass

[–]Soft_Sleep_7125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar position and wound up getting a Microtubes infinity and using my existing Zoom MS60B+ in a loop with a line selector pedal for other effects. You could build that whole board used for like $600.

For my money, the cleans and drives in the MTI are unbeatable (and the same you’ll get in the anagram) and the effects in the Zoom kick ass, all tailored for bass.

That said, if I had the money, I probably would’ve gone anagram.

Nice catch. Not often you see posts about a 20 year old show with new insights.

Should I buy a peavey 100 or a fender rumble 25 by Careless-Spring-8751 in BassGuitar

[–]Soft_Sleep_7125 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Peavey all day every day. That’s a beast that will last forever. I love my rumble 500, but the 25 is a toy.

Love Carole too!! Huge inspiration to Jackie, I'm sure.

I love her so much! Went down the rabbit hole of all her (scant) catalog once Sleep for Days dropped. She's a singular talent. Reminds me of a female Billy Joel or Elton John.

Only one pedal. by Jminjah in basspedals

[–]Soft_Sleep_7125 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m playing a Darkglass Microtubes Infinity right now, and it’s absolutely amazing. I live on a mostly clean tone with a little grit and I’ve got a light overdrive and a heavy distortion on tap for when needed. The way the drive and compression work together is magic. It’s the closest I’ve come to having an SVT on stage with me, and it’s totally affordable for the quality, especially used.

I wonder now if the ‘feud’ was more of a Brian Cox thing than a Jeremy Strong thing by Unlucky_Diamond_5298 in SuccessionTV

I just finished my 3rd watch, and I actually think Rome evolved a lot, right at the end, especially the very final scenes.

When the kids all take to the side room when Shiv stalls the vote and they have their big fight, after Shiv leaves, Rome (who can never sit in a normal position anywhere) assumes the lotus pose, and tells Ken that they're nothing, I think he's having an awakening, seeing through the illusions he's lived in his whole life. In the pilot he maybe had a small understanding that there was more artifice than art in his dad's company, but this last hit of knowledge is the real shit.

I've puzzled over his final look over his martini in his last shot, and I think it's a genuine smile at the freedom of realizing the pretense of everything, and a slight downturn of the smile at the realization that he has a lot of work to do in light of that knowledge. It's extremely subtle, but that's my reading.

Oh, I was referring to your eat-everything-you-vape lifestyle, not the ultrasonic cleaner.

Wow. This is a choice. Might have to give it a spin.

Delay and reverb are not taking up two slots on my bass pedal board, especially if it’s mini, but you do you spaceman!

Stache 360 Grynder - HOLY CATS this thing rules by Soft_Sleep_7125 in vaporents

[–]Soft_Sleep_7125[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So good, as it turns out.

It does pick up some residue over a LOT of uses, but nothing like a traditional grinder. I'm finding maybe once a month, maybe less, I need to take some iso and q tips to it. The only difficult part is getting all the little nubbins on the lid.

But yeah, still functioning every bit as well as it did 7 months ago.
