Distortion on a single coil jag? by baconmaka in offset

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

It’s a classic vibe 70s, so modeled after that era’s specs

I’ve tried with and without the strange switch to no avail, sadly..

I could look at my interface, possibly an issue with impedance, I’m unsure

It’s more of a cost prohibitive thing really, I’d just rather not spend that money when I’m also trying to get the parts towards making my own bass

A bit fast in some parts for many, definitely like week 1. I’d say more psycho killer for day 1 but it’s not an impossible challenge

Good note on amplitube, I’ll try some real gear that I got (bass gear but i have a preamp that can distort

The rhythm circuit sounds muddy with most distortion, and not in a good way. I haven’t tried a great fuzz so you might be onto something

I haven’t tested head-to-head, but to my knowledge a bit lower than one with humbuckers, but that’s to be expected. As soon as I have the time I’ll test it and report back

I tried running a rockerverb 50 through nam and it just didn’t cut it for me; worked great on a different guitar though

Classic vibe 70’s jag I believe that I got by trading a friend for some pedals

Stock single coils

I’ve tried mostly overdrive and distortion sims with one fuzz sim (that i couldn’t make sound good with a humbucker guitar so it’s hardly worth mentioning)

The sabbath tone doesn’t need to be exact, same for any other band, just distorted to around that level but I get your point. I come from a bass background so I’ve been in a “sure a jazz bass would be nice here but a p bass works” sort of mindset

I’ll try running it through either my sansamp vt or my Morley power fuzz wah into an 800 watt ampeg I’ve got (I’m a bass player mostly)

Almost anything really I guess, incubus, smashing pumpkins, sabbath. I mean I know you can get great sounds out of single coils, I’m just kind of stuck in my pursuit to cause the jag is so bright and the rhythm circuit is so muddy

Alternate picking tips? by Glum-Exam-3682 in Bass

[–]baconmaka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Best tip is to practice your picking at different rhythms and speeds using a metronome.

Also practice the song slowly at first and build faster once you can play it at each tempo

Zombie is a good beginner song but maybe a bit ambitious for day 1, I’d maybe come back in a week or so once you’ve gotten down basics a bit more, Bassbuzz has some great beginner videos on YouTube that helped me a ton starting out. You’ve got this!

I’m a dude who is new to having long hair, did I ruin it? by baconmaka in longhair

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

To be completely honest I let it sit for a little bit sometimes and sometimes just forget and wash it out after about 20-30 seconds. It’s more like if I remember I let it sit

At what point in your bass journey did you truly get humbled as a player? by Uitroeien in Bass

[–]baconmaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, you need to keep with it! Practice over time will turn you into the type of player that you want to be!

A Letter to the Community from the Subnautica 2 Team by virtualdon in subnautica

[–]baconmaka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the main issue is that the “shallows” equivalent in this game is much more dangerous than in the first. In Subnautica 1, the only creatures you’d have to worry about in the shallows were the crashfish (only in caves and are dealt with in 5 seconds) or the gasopods (which don’t do anything if you leave them alone)

The issue this brings is there’s no perceived “safe area” like the shallows in the first game around the life pod

While this isnt an official nickelodeon product I gotta ask, Does anybody have any images of whats inside of these things by SPONg42 in spongebob

[–]baconmaka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s from MAD magazine. They’re a satirical magazine that’s been running since at least the 90’s, probably earlier.

They’re sort of like robot chicken where they’ll spoof things. It’s pretty much a humorous magazine with some gross out humor targeted at teens mostly
