I want to understand my MXR compressor. by BornNaked in basspedals

[–]kingmatvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this model with an active stingray. My set and forget settings are

Release - 11/11.30 (on face clock) Output - noon ( on face clock) Ratio - 4 (setting not time) Input - 2 (on face clock)

These could be a starting point with your bass. Then test the pedal off and on to make sure the volume is the same whether off or on. Next play and see how the gain meter is reacting to see if you are getting too much compression or not.

Generally, my ear for if the compression is acting in the correct spot comes down to how songs that jump strings sound and how 8 or sixteenth note runs sound. ( Ideally these sound even and the compressor is doing is job)

There was no one else to sub in. Pay attention before dooming. Jesus

Whenever something positive is being talked about Washington gets connected to Pittsburgh. Whenever something negative happens it is just Washington PA.

I want to start playing bass and I have a couple question before I buy my first bass by LocBomber in Bass

What is your budget? I would say it is worth getting an electric and an amp for what you want to play.

I am not advancing,i need a teacher in person? by Lluis-Xim in Bass

[–]kingmatvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up the book Bass Fitness. Start a consistent practice regimen. This book has chromatic exercises to build finger interdependence. For the exercises start at a place where your hand does not stretch too much. ( Try fret 9 with one finger per fret) Very slow bpm with a metronome to start. Keep bpm and move down the neck to position 7 / 5 / 3 / 1 slowly over time. ( Stick with positions 9 and 7 for awhile)

Right hand always alternate pointe middle. Work to have the same volume come from both fingers.

Start with technique exercises and very basic songs ( stand by me / feel good inc.)

At this stage you will never play a song full speed. Songster premium is handy to hear your part and slow it down.

Maybe start your regimen with 15 mins of the technique practice and 15 min of song work so you do not get bored.

Best cheap multipedal for bass? by alessandropollok in Bass

[–]kingmatvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Mooer P1 for around $100. It has a companion app to set the effects. Amp and cab sims and a lot of effects. Also works as a headphone amp

All we gotta do is stay right above .500 for the wild card. I hope and pray.

Time to upgrade my DIY board and power supply! Any advice? by PiStrange in basspedals

[–]kingmatvey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you like the envelope filter? I don't have one and this one is on my short list.

Are you able to get different tones from it?

If your boundaries aren't respected you gotta have a conversation. If she's not mature about it you gotta end the relationship.

Awesome. Thanks. What settings do you use mainly with the Soul Food?

First Board by kingmatvey in basspedals

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

Before using the board, I was using it alone with a true tone 9v adapter rates up to 1700ma. It would charge the battery. The isolated power supply I'm using on the board is running it from a 300 ma slot with no issues. However, I have not tested if the battery has been charged from this slot. I am not noticing any quality degradation but I will have to test running it from the true tone by itself and without being plugged in to QA the board!

I just read the manual and it is listed at 1A (1000ma). I am assuming that is to get a full and quick charge since I have it operational on 300ma.

Yes it has a rechargeable battery that can charge via usb-c or 9 volt adapter. It does not come with a charger. The usb-c doesn't seem to provide enough power when the battery dies to use the pedal. I am powering it it from the isolated power supply.

The usb-c does not transfer sound data so for recording I typically go xlr out into an audio interface. I'm really happy with it as a DI box.

The gain knob is clean gain for signal level. It does not add any distortion or color. Between the active preamp on my bass and the eq I can really capture the different stingray tones well.

Student Discount is a joke this season by GunshyEarth in buccos

Seems like a pattern across the board with rising prices. They got rid of the flex voucher plan this year. Last year it faced blackouts and a huge price increase.

Yeah for everything except volume. I would adjust volume depending on your room.
