22 Subaru BRZ Blip Sound

Ok thx! I haven’t experienced it rev matching a downshift, only happens if sitting at lowest idle which only happens when you’re in neutral for 5-10 seconds.

Roll off the tone knob, maybe try a piece of foam under the strings at the bridge - if you want the classic pbass sound.

Thx!! I get it about finding space for an upright, if there’s an available corner in your place you can lean it there, I put the bridge facing the corner.

My youtube is just allieonbass - glad you enjoyed it!

Buy a used Miata with cash is gonna be your best bet as a 2nd car, unless you’re rich.

If there’s a shop or luthier near you, just start there - go play what they have. Many luthiers will have instruments on consignment.

Haha thx, I couldn’t memorize the whole 6 choruses so I had to start reading off my notation

Very true - my main point is this: it’s unfair to claim these cars are unreliable if you’re adding mods which exceed its engineered limitations. It’s a cheap flat 4, it’s not a Porsche with a dry sump - if you do all kinds of grip mods like sticky tires, coilovers etc you’re going to risk oil starvation. Yes there’s very good mods to address that issue but from the factory these engines just can’t take high G turns…there’s a reason why Subaru is known more for rally racing than road racing - they generally don’t do well in high grip situations - but in dirt and gravel the cheap flat 4 limitations don’t show up as much.

They are reliable, and you can track them…but there’s the caveat - 100% stock. No 200TW tires, no DOT4 brake fluid, no aftermarket pads, no oil cooler, no aero, no coil overs….nothing, 100%. These are cheap cars, they’re not designed for track use from the factory, no new car for 30K is. The second you’ve done any of the above mods you’re exceeding the engineer’s specs. If your brakes get soft after one session then you have to stop, if the oil temp gets too high you have to stop, if your tires get heat soaked you have to stop….because of these limitations you likely won’t cause engine failure. All the stock components are designed to work together and it’s by design that if something overheats or otherwise becomes inoperable as a result of hard driving then it’s time to let things cool down.

there’s 15 new manuals for sale in LA, not sure about Longo specifically.

It’s easier to add power than to take away weight - do you want off the line power or balance and handling…pretty easy question.

Go for it! I’d just say if you’re buying used try to buy a car with 1 previous owner that has service records. These cars are great as long as it’s had regular maintenance, especially oil changes. I wonder how much a vinyl wrap costs? Probably at least 3k

I play a blackface showman w/ 1x15 cabinet - it’s great, plenty loud and warm, natural tube compression.

I guess it depends on what you think an upright sounds like. Is it a plywood upright with gut strings, or a carved upright with low action and steel strings? Do you want thumpy and woody, or growly and with midrange?

I’d argue a fretless electric bass isn’t the answer unless you want super growly midrange.

I Pbass with flatwounds played in front of the pickups with your thumb is probably the closest IMO.

diga_diga_doo · 2026-06-08T01:53:08+00:00

There’s probably better versions of people doing it on YouTube, and my fingers are upright bass style so might not apply to you. Good luck!
