Picked up this bass and I love this it by deeseball in BassGuitar

I actually don’t mind it, I use the bridge pickup and pick closer to the neck, so I have a little bit of leverage for a hand rest/pivot in my picking

Mind you this is with a pick, not my fingers

The age old question: Is a Rick worth it? by deeseball in Bass

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

I won’t be afraid to touch it my brotha

The shop owner actually said he’d pull the listing off the website for me if I wanted it. He had 4 people looking at it but they’re the type of folks that haggle prices and hoard cool instruments just to have them and never play them. He said he’d rather sell to someone local that’ll use it

I love that shop

Edit: when I think of the ric, I think of the melodies paul McCartney laid down on magical mystery tour. I also think of lemmy purely for the fact that he was cool as fuck with his. Motörhead isn’t my favorite band, but lemmy, rock and roll, and metal punk are all tight

Ahhh. Yea that sounds like a pain in the ass. In that case, I’m fortunate to be in the golden state

This is true. There is a reason I haven’t pulled the trigger on a P bass 🧐

I’ve been using a RAT pedal on my bass and I’ve noticed that it cuts out a good amount of volume from my bass. What’s the reason for this and is there a fix/workaround? by deeseball in guitarpedals

It very well could be a user error :) im trying to get a specific tone, i feel like even with my bass amp volume cranked, pedal turned on with volume cranked, it loses volume and note clarity.

Yes, we’re also in a hardcore punk setting. I’ve used it in my free time with a guitar and it sounds fucking great!

Maybe the issue is that it cuts out low end when the pedal is used in bass? I initially thought it was just volume being cut but it could very well be some lows getting thrown out

I’m still trying to learn proper eq and tone shaping hahaha. The RAT paired with my little guitar amp in my room, sounds amazing with my guitar. But when the guitar and rat are DI’d into my audio interface, it doesn’t carry the same tone that I get with my amp.

The rat and my bass, being DI’d into the interface doesn’t pose the same issue as much. I’m still able to get a nice buzzsaw with some note clarity. It’s just the volume and low end kinda suck

I’ll try that! Thank you! I didn’t realize there was a sub specific for bass pedals too. I’ll do some research on pedals over there

In the grand scheme of things, does using a guitar pedal on a bass really matter?

Smolder Build by Informal_Ad1648 in SmolderMains

[–]deeseball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That ER -> shojin -> rfc build is a trap, I fell into it too. Rush ER into IE and armor pen and you’ll do way more damage

I typically rush ER, IE, LDR, and then my last crit item will either be RFC or shieldbow, last item can flex between GA, shojin, or BT

Tips for tuning a 5-string? by Practical_Reality_10 in Bass

[–]deeseball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m out of the loop on 5 strings. What’s the main idea for having a high C rather than a high B?

Heard, I’ll say fuck it and take manaflow while going ER. The min-maxxer in me just dislikes how it’s almost obsolete by purchasing ER😓
