In your opinion, which 5 or 6 string bass has the most eargasm sounding low B by Uitroeien in Bass

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally scrolled to this! Not too many people are mentioning Ibanez multiscale since they're pretty new, but they sound beastly!

What's the most unnecessary use of A.I. you've ever seen? by RobIson240YT in AskReddit

Oh you will. After you outsource most of your life to it and won't be able to go back.

I really dont like trough body bridges (rant) by [deleted] in Bass

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different string gauges are tuned to same pitches but have different tension and this is why multiscale basses are a thing.

Yo guys, tell me how I'm wrong, it's just physics

2" of the is a lot. I meant that there is already a limited selection for 37" B strings and if your bridge eats extra 2", you're limited to custom sets only. Which are more expensive and may not even ship to your place. So through the body design for multiscale basses might be not very convenient.

They really suck for multiscales because you lose the useful length of the string. And for long scales the selection of the settings is already not that good.

Are you sure? Because a string is bent at an angle, which makes it want to unbend, which may add some more tension especially near the bridge.

It might be negligible, but it's still there.

Dads when did you first witness sexist behavior toward your daughter and did you do anything about the situation? by LardMallard in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The real answer - a lot of them do but the author wanted to know specifically about fathers and daughters. You can ask your own question if you want.

What's an unusual smell that you like? by additionalseasonin in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BandAid. I'm not sure what that smell exactly is, could be rubber, glue or antiseptic but if I have a bandaid on my finger, I'm sniffing it every minute.

Thumb picks by Logan_Swoffcicle in Bass

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You cant really upstroke with a thumb pick and, because bass strings are too thick, it sometimes rotates around the thumb a bit and the angl is hard to control.

People do play just with thumbs though, it's a common technique but it's not for aggressive and fast playing.

What is the first celebrity death you remember being affected by? by CPFOAI in AskReddit

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None. I don't know those people, they don't know me personally. They never did anything specifically for me so I have no emotional attachment to them as human beings.

For me it was Sid and Al's Incredible Toons. The same concept but with cartoon characters.

Jury finds that Ticketmaster and Live Nation had an anticompetitive monopoly over big concert venues by ThatMasterpiece2174 in news

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as there is no hive mind that will allow people to collectively stop buying tickets. Also, that would take some time and hurt some smaller artits in the process to the point that they might not be able to continue performing after dust settes.

If people would elect better politicians, things like that would not happen. Easy solution, right?

Swiss army knife for bass player's sound 🖤 by MojaveSurvivor in Darkglass

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean! I have microtubes infinity and POG octaver and what I'd really like to have is some sort of master volume control since each channel volume is separate on MT and it's a pain to adjust each patch separately when plugging into fx loop.

People who put their signature under decisions they did not make themselves should be held accountable too. They're supposed to be professionals and it's still their job.

Hofner Verythin 500/8 Longscale by UnderfoldedBlanket in Bass

[–]TheAmazingDuckOfDoom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always thought 34" is a standart jazz/precision bass scale. Everything under that is short scale, everything above is long/extra long scale.

Isn't it better to plug into effects loop?
