[Mar 11,2004 4:49pm - TheGreatSpaldino ""]
Ibanez SR485 (piece of shit)
Yamaha RBX180 modified slightly (piece of shit)
Trace Elliot AS200s head (decent I guess)
Peavey something 4x10 cab, 700 watt capacity (decent)
[Mar 11,2004 9:27pm - Anthony ""]

Sunn 2x15 cab (original vintage from the early 1970s- not the Fender knockoff crap)

[Mar 11,2004 11:44pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
i wanna know what the "serious" bands are playing at their big shows and or little tours. and where is the drummers at? what are they all playing?
[Mar 12,2004 12:01am - Kalopsia ""]
my main bass is a Spector Euro 4 string in black and blue stain with stock EMG pickups and i installed an Aguilar OBP-1 active preamp in it. i finally got the bitch to work right and it sounds absolutely incredible. i couldn't be happier.
my backup bass is a Schecter Stiletto Deluxe 4 string in black. it plays great, but shitty wood, so i'm looking to trade it in for probably a Schecter Stiletto Elite neck-thru. i'm really impressed with how good Schecter basses play and how they sound.
both basses are strung with D'addario XL roundwound strings, .055-.110 and tuned low C, F, A#, D#
i have 2 other basses, a Carlo Robelli 5 string and a Jackson JS-40 4 string, both of which suck donkey balls and i'm either gonna sell them or destroy them.
Samson AG1 airline Wireless
Boss TU2 pedal tuner
SansAmp Bass Driver/DI (by far the most essential part of my sound)
SWR 550x amp head
SWR Goliath III 4x10 cabinet
Monster Cables
Dunlop Ultex picks 1.14mm
i can honestly say that i am completely happy with my gear. now that i have my Spector working, i am finally happy with my sound. if anything i'll add another SWR 4x10 cabinet, just because i can, but that's about it

Hey, any bass players out there have any recommendations for new active pickups? I'm getting really tired of my soapbars that I got on my bass. I'm thinking about humbucking EMGs, but have no idea which ones.

go with either EMG, or Bartolini pickups. i think you'll be happy with either one. i have EMG P&J set up in my Spector and the thing sounds awesome. and it has an extremely high output too. i would suggest Seymour Duncan Basslines as well but they're passive

Its the lower price one, not a export, i cant remember off hand. I put all good skins on on them and tune them the best i can.
Mk-012, yeah those are a good bargin for the buck.
Typo: i have the e602(the kick mic) sorry. Audio tech has 2 differant tom mics that "from i heard" sound good. you should check them out.
I also forgot to add my Monster cable collection(ruffly $325.00 worth)

cool those cheap pearl sets are the forum series. i got the akg d112 on the kick i like it, i hear the e602 is real good on bass too.

Yeah, I'd like to know how many drummers out there use AXIS pedals or what they think of them?
[Mar 12,2004 5:27pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
i do know that the world record for fastest double bass was around 1020 kicks in one minute set using an axis longboard pedal- i played one at mars music before it closed it was pretty fast and almost effortless to use but i like the power of my iron cobra and the feel of DW pedals
and siberia where is your list?
[Mar 13,2004 12:34am - Dissector ""]
The main reason I bought the Iron CObra was becauase I like G.I. Joe. Plus its a cool pedal.
But anyways:

Thats about all I need.

SmallBrownRatFuck said:P&J? I'll definitely check it out. Thx man.
well P&J means Precision and Jazz. i have a split-coil (Precision) and single-coil (Jazz) pickup in my Spector, hence P&J pickups. but u said u had soapbar pickups. so you should look at the EMG extended series pickups instead.
[Mar 13,2004 3:17am - TheGreatSpaldino ""]
soapbar pickups are pretty boss...
fuck magnetic pick ups... get some lightwave optical pickups. =)
[Mar 13,2004 8:50pm - Anthony ""]
Kalopsia is right about the EMG PandJ pickups sounding amazing. All the Euro spectors I've played sound incredible. In terms of EMG soapbars, I know Digiorgio and Webster use a 40DC set in some of their basses.

hahaha you must not understand compression. EQ compression and how they interact make up all the dynamics of a recording.
bottom line without a good compressor your recordings will suck, and they help alot live plus this is an 8 channel gate too with high and low pass filters

Compression for bass, unless 1) you have a lot of pedals & 2) expect to play out of a PA, is not completely necessary... as far as I know.
The pickups that are currently in my bass are active, and they seem as though they're the stock pickups. Shit, I wish I knew more about this bass.
[Mar 16,2004 1:07pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
no i rarely use a compressor on bass at all even when recording unless it is just to pull the sound forward a little but if you use a compressor properly with an EQ running to it on a side chain the you can cancel out overtones that cause low frequency distortion thus allowing you to play at a higher volume with less feed back and distortion

Josh_hates_you said:if you use a compressor properly with an EQ running to it on a side chain the you can cancel out overtones that cause low frequency distortion thus allowing you to play at a higher volume with less feed back and distortion
Hrm, maybe I should start using a compression pedal. I run the Boss Bass Overdrive pedal (ODB-3)
and, if I want a nasty dirty tone, I need to push the treble up... unfortunately I get tons of
feedback. The compression would solve that, no?
[Mar 16,2004 1:26pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
hey josiah if you play metal you may not want those k-series they are wicked thin and typically use for jazz. look into the paiste dimensions series
[Mar 16,2004 1:30pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
the compressor would help the feed back IF USED PROPERLY i havent tried using a feedback destroyer but they make those too BTW i would recomend rack gear for compressors not a pedal-unless the compression is built to a pedal but then i dont think it will have a side chain input which you need to cancel frequencies
[Mar 16,2004 1:36pm - josiah the black ""]
Josh_hates_you said:hey josiah if you play metal you may not want those k-series they are wicked thin and typically use for jazz. look into the paiste dimensions series
ya i've heard that before but they just have such a nice sound, i prob would end up getting the a-series, i like zildjian more than paiste, just a personal preference tho although paiste are pretty fuckin sweet
by the way, can you do ultra fast drum kicks a la morbid angel, amon amarth, among many many others? i've gotten to be kinda fast but not anywhere near my goal, i was wondering if there was some kind of leg exercise (besides obviously just practicing and practicing) such as doing squats or something? if anybody knows any "secrets" fill me in
thanks

I noticed that jogging helped my leg's a little, in terms of dbl bass.
[Mar 16,2004 1:44pm - SmallBrownRatFuck ""]
heh, you could always get a trigger. BLASPHEMY!
[Mar 16,2004 1:48pm - Josh_hates_you ""]
triggers help those proffessional guys out alot-- if you play heel up or heel down it might make a difference-- some of these guys can do double kicks almost like a double stroke - which is done through a slide technique step down toe then slide toe back and the slide on the way up should be your second kick=4 kicks in the time of 2 wich is hard -- best excercise i am aware of is the Dave Lomabardo methos which is basically to do dbl bass while leaning all the way back to stretch your stomach muscles to add resistance do this as long as you can stand-ankle weights 5 lbs help and when practicing always make sure you are steady if you go too fast and you hear the flow break then slow down and control it ---- speed = nothing without control
