| ______________________________________ [Mar 12,2009 11:56pm - Beorht-Dana ""] For anyone who's interested here is a link to a brief article Steve DiGiorgio wrote about his playing style. Nothing super profound, but interesting for bass nerds probably. ;) http://www.insaneguitar.com/mc/FingerStyleBass101.pdf |

(Specifically "someone who can get along with everybody in the band.") if you mean me then, it was not getting along, it was compromising with what the band wanted and not what you just wanted. What was best for the band! Sorry if you were called out, but being in a band is compromise and working together! Giving and taking and not telling others you will and then dont! |

| _______________________________ [Mar 13,2009 7:00pm - Seth ""] I would if you could do sixteen notes without putting triplets in there and singing in key! Thanks you. Sorry if i use normal english! |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 10:29pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] This thread isn't about band drama or your hurt feelings. Start a new one and I'll respond and lay out all your bullshit for everyone to laugh at. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 13,2009 11:23pm - Seth ""] Please keep believing my feelings are hurt. Sorry but you are mistaken for hurtness when I mentioned about a band. Then you had to take a shot at me about blasting!! so you started the drama. Go an read back before you say things. Thank you! |
| _________________________________________ [Mar 14,2009 12:37am - DestroyYouAlot ""] Ok, other thread now. This should be fun. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 14,2009 12:52pm - KPANZER ""] On a serious note, I am ashamed to admit the only gear I currently own is my bass.An entry level BC Rich Warlock.If you've seen me play live you can see why I'm not going to lay down alot of cash for something I use as a weapon.My amp/cab set-up of choice is the classic re-issue Ampeg SVT and the eight ten cab.I used to run two 8/10s.One on either side of the drums.Keep in mind I was competing against two full marshall stacks on either side.I play mainly with a pick, but I spent about 10 years playing strictly fingerstyle.I use an overdrive pedal insted of distortion.I try to go for a blend of Lemmy,Geezer Butler & Jon Entwistle.I also would cite Steve Harris,Duck Dunn, Berry Oakley and Allan Woody as major ispirations.But above all-CLIFF BURTON & GREG DELARIA |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 14,2009 6:20pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] I've been trying to figure out, in essence, Lemmy's playing with fingerstyle. That's where the downward fingernail strumming thing came from - playing Ace of Spades with no pick. Ended up sounding cooler than I expected, so I've been developing it from there. |
| ________________________________________ [May 5,2010 12:02am - DestroyYouAlot ""] This thread needs to come back. I just started playing my bass a) through the SansAmp, with b) the wet output through a shitty chorus, c) the dry output through a shitty guitar distortion, and d) the two sounds mixed into an A/B/Y pedal (wired backwards), into the front of my SVT. I'm still getting a lot of volume loss from the A/B (need to figure out a better signal loop solution) but turning up the SansAmp to compensate got me back into the "almost clipping" zone at the front of the amp. Sounds crazy, with the levels set right it "mwahs" like a fretless. |
| __________________________________ [May 5,2010 1:47am - narkybark ""] I have a really strange setup and it gives me a really strange sound but I dig it. |
| ________________________________________ [May 5,2010 3:50am - cobra slarship ""] i recently got my hands on a trace elliot v300h, its a hybrid tube/solid state head and i love the fucking thing. needs to be eq'd weird for the "klaus fluoride filling in for alex webster" sound i like, but once its there it sounds ballsy as hell. |
| _____________________________ [May 5,2010 7:34am - blue ""] Hahahaa cobra slarship I think my next conquest in bass nerdland is to finally upgrade my hartke ha3500. I'm sick of making my sansamp do all the work, I want something that growls as hard as I want it to. |

That wont really get you much fuzz, more like grit. For fuzz you want to go with the bass big muff, it lets you blend the clean and distorted signals, pretty rad |

| ________________________________________________ [May 10,2010 2:49pm - matt_sways_in_the_wind ""] on the subject of fuzz. colorsound fuzz pedals are hands down the best bass fuzz pedals i've ever heard. the tonebender and bass fuzz specifically |
| ________________________________________________ [May 10,2010 2:55pm - matt_sways_in_the_wind ""] sans amp... sounds like a bass signal plugged into a rubber glove. i used to use one all the time, until i realized i needed more mids in my life and considering the sans amp has fixed mids the only way i could get more mids was to lower the bass. who wants to pull out bass? needless to say i keep it around for that just in case moment. |
