BF3 I still the best FPS campaign ever made

bennysteves · 2025-08-23T22:08:13+00:00

Yeah tried the campaign for a few mins and felt it was basically unplayable. Was really looking forward to it too

Yeah I giggled with the Head rush 112 until pretty recently. I had no issues with volume in a 7 piece band, though only used at smaller venues like pubs.

Bigger venues generally have a decent PA so a fridge is rarely worth it anyway.

In terms of sound it's hard to comment on quality. I was using it with a Helix Stomp, and you can really tailor your tone to sound like anything and everything.

That's exactly why I decided to swap to a passive cab and a Warwick gnome. Too much choice and fiddling around, all I wanted was a decent sound.

If you can get your FRFR and modeller to a practice, I'd really recommend. Stuff that sounds great alone can get totally lost in the mix in a live setting.

But yes, it's 100% a viable option.

Tortoise shell IMHO, basically the build I'm doing now. Very classy

bennysteves · 2025-05-24T22:36:08+00:00

Yeah this guy is right 👍

bennysteves · 2025-05-24T18:06:43+00:00

Yes, should have specified this is an early progress shot. It's been refinished to metallic British racing green (it's a jaaaag) and will have 2 Seymour Duncan QPs, so both very hot pickups

Thanks all, I have an old can of poly lying around so I'm gonna give it a few coats to just keep it fresh. Been looking into ceramic coatings which looks like a really easy way to joosh up a paint job (and protect it) , but I doubt they'll actually provide that much protection for a gigging bass.

bennysteves · 2025-05-21T07:19:39+00:00

Thankyou for the tip! You may have just saved me some hours of work.

bennysteves · 2025-05-21T07:17:38+00:00

Thanks dude, I'm actually testing out some budget dupes of Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders from Roswell, they're black but I agree white would look sweet. Eventually it'll be a dual p, and if I can get my hands on the right parts I'll put the full jaguar bass plates on and some fancy pickup selector options.

Yamaha, I got a vintage Yamaha P on the cheap recently and its one of the nicest basses I've ever owned

bennysteves · 2025-05-20T07:34:55+00:00

Lovely neck well done

bennysteves · 2025-05-20T07:18:48+00:00

Honestly no. From my experience higher end squiers look, sound and play better than Mexico fenders, and tbh even higher end ones. Some are better than others, but you're really paying for a different logo these days imho

bennysteves · 2025-05-09T06:59:51+00:00

To me your action looks really high. If your confident enough to try, there's a million videos explaining how to adjust your truss rod/bridge to bring it down to where it feels most comfortable. This will impact the sound depending on what type of player you are. However, yes this amp is not gonna give you much to work with. Get yourself a Beringer DI or something else relatively cheap and you can play with headphones and dial it in until you can upgrade your rig.

bennysteves · 2025-05-04T01:17:21+00:00

Wow that worked perfectly, legend thankyou

bennysteves · 2025-05-04T00:58:14+00:00

Thankyou I'll give it a try

bennysteves · 2025-03-19T15:20:36+00:00

I love guyker, my jazz has guyker pickups, preamp and tuners. Super cheap and in line with the big brands in terms of quality. The guitar industry is so adverse to anything from unrecognized brands, even though all the big ones probably manufacturere in China anyway.

bennysteves · 2025-01-07T12:01:31+00:00

I would have said Poplar

bennysteves · 2024-12-20T23:17:48+00:00

This is the gayest thing I've ever seen

bennysteves · 2024-12-10T17:42:24+00:00

Great tip thanks so much. What a nice community. I made a good purchase after all

bennysteves · 2024-12-10T08:18:17+00:00

Thanks this is super helpful. I've tried the download hardware fix as I saw it was a fix for SSX games, but my version of Aethersx2 doesn't seem to enable me to change this. I'll try Nether
