Starts with:
BC-1X compressor, the only essential bass effect, to speak honestly. Always on.
Into MXR Bass Synth MB301 for funky vibes, on as needed
Or
Boss SY-1 for new wave/futuristic vibes, on as needed
They feed into the NS-1X input - the pedal ignores them, always on.
NS-1X noise-suppressed loop then starts:
BB-1X bass driver, which I only use as a preamp, always on
Darkglass Microtubes X for actual gritty drive, on as needed
Valeton GP-50, mostly used as amp/cab sim, always on.
I swear, I'm done, I swear.
Yes, Flea is a machine. Matt Freeman is a beast. Lemmy was a formidable presence. I love Jaco and feel bad for him.
The list goes on, but two guitarist friends got me thinking. They're obsessed with "heroes", copying their gear, their tone, their technique, following their life events.
Even on forums, people seem to want to mimic celebrities, using them as constant references.
We can all be proficient, creative, we can all come up with great music, tones, and our own playing. Those "idols" we have might be great, but they're not an obligatory yardstick.
I raise my coffee to all those who don't really care about famous bassists - though we still enjoy their music.
Hi guys,
For those who have an mp3 playlist playing in the menus/library screens, in Big Box, has the latest update killed it for you?
It plays one song when I launch it, then it stops and only plays a fraction of a second of the first song every 5-6 seconds or so. Doesn't move on to the next one, doesn't react to previous/forward controls.
Any help is appreciated.
