Hey guys!

I'm looking for a bass rig for a bassist in a pop rock band. These guys are recording a profeional album and we're looking for a rig to get the bassist setup for both live and in studio. These guys are lost when it comes to gear and bass isnt directly my specialty.

THE BIG ISSUE: Budget is around 1500$!!!

Im think something from ampeg like the svt 4 pro series and one of their cheaper cabs but thats slowly exceeding his budget!!

Bassists please help me out!

Thanks in advance!

Hey Guys

i recently got amplitube 2 and am trying to get it to work in Pro Tools LE 8, however whenever i open an audio track amplitube is not even being recognized as a plug-in

Has anybody else had this problem? Is there anything i can do, or is Pro Tool just not compatible with Amplitube?

Thanks ahead of time

Connor

did you think about just maybe using a delay pedal for creating a helicopter sound by letting oscillate

the boss dd-3 works great for it-- Tom Morello uses it in the intro of cochise by audioslave by tapping the strings with a pencil- works great when i tried it out

also for what are these sounds going to be used?

Connor

i'll give it a try

thx alot

Connor

well i took them all out first then started one at a time but yeah that would make sense

would it be okay just to plug in and then perhaps move the bridge till i feel it's sounds louder?

awesome--looks really cool

that would make sense--seeing as it worked perfectly right before the string change

thx anyway

this model did actually come with the fishman(4T) pre-amp built in

i didn't do any wiring or anything

i changed strings this morning--and since then the 2 strings are barely audible compared to the rest when amped

Connor

hey guys im plaiying on a norman protege b18 tobacco sunburst plugged in--and for some reason i can barely here the high e and b strings when plugged in--everything else is working fine--

could just be the mic placement or malfunctioning?

thx ahead of time

Connor

Sounds like a great project!

the only thing is--is this even going to be the same guitar when it's finished seeing as almost everything is going to be changed:P

anyways keep us filled

Connor

2 looks very cool i find works well with the whole style

That is crazy stuff--thanks for filling us in:)

The lights on becomes a bit too flashy for me personally but i think it's a great idea---i'm sure it'd be a GOTM...

Connor

Do you have any pics for us?

sounds like an interesting idea

Connor

sounds great--i'll take a look into it

thanks guys

Connor

Thanks alot, i think i'm gunna take a look at the echo, just to mess around with, thanks for the advice.

Connor

i have been doing some reading on the danelectro fab effects, not as full time effects, but just for something to mess around with. i know it's only 15 bucks a pedal...but does anyone have any experience with them?--is it at all worth it?

Thanks ahead of time

Connor

i personally love it- it's stylish funky and retro, i would love to own something like that

Awesome design!!!

Connor

Looking great man

Awesome Project!

i wish i had one...

Connor

I would go with the natural with black burst

The Cherry is beautiful but i still find the black edges and transition of colours overrules it...

Great work

Connor

Thanks alot

i appreciate the input!

Connor

I have an ibanez btb 450 qm and am just wondering, how low can i actually tune? i was always told you can only tune to c# on a guitar. Is it the same with bass?

Thanks in advance

Connor

to at least try out a nine or ten string...so i can make a fool of myself

Connor

i think its all just a point to having more power and something different at your finger tips... why have a 6 string when you can have a 7 or 8 string...

for some its so that they can be different for some its to show off... i would love to own a 7 string so i could play and explore some songs that require all the strings, but yes a nine string bass is over the top... but its individual preference and its just the exploration of the concept of the guitar

everybodys different----for good reasoning

Connor

booohhhh

wow.... just wow

that is going to be magical Congrats it's beautiful

Connor
