Built a one string bass out of a length of plywood, my old squier pickups and a poker chip case. Will get audo.

[URL=http://img857.imageshack.us/i/picture006we.jpg/][IMG]http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/766/picture006we.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Piezo pickups inside the case :v:

[QUOTE=LasGunz;29094907]That's fair enough then. In that case John Mayer is the perfect example of when the bassier pickups can be awesome live or in a mix, when he plays with the John Mayer Trio it's usually all done like that. [editline]10th April 2011[/editline] Currently have my amp set around 1-2 watts and I'm getting an awesome tone from it. I love this amp for using in the house.. I've got a really nice shimmery glassy blues sound (SRV-like) that's slightly overdriven and then my Tubescreamer clone gives me a boost in volume and gain, then my fuzz pedals are set to how I like them, Wah and Modulation set up right to reduce muddyness in my sound. My chain currently goes like this: Big Muff > Wah > Swollen Pickle > Tubescreamer > Marshall Regenerator (modulation) Soon it will be Compressor > Big Muff > Wah > Pickle > Tubescreamer > Phaser > Delay > Regenerator > Reverb With an expression pedal for the Regenerator off-board probably. I might find a spot for my Double Muff again but I don't use it much currently.[/QUOTE] Mine is Digitech bass whammy > M-87 compressor > red ripper though when I'm just playing at home by myself I play through a Digitech BP200 it's all pretty boss [editline]11th April 2011[/editline] actually the M-87 is a boss pedal so I suppose that's more boss than the rest [editline]11th April 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=blezzy;29098499]hi guys i havent posted in here in a while hows it goin what should i do with my bass im clueless (songs to learn etc) hoping to jam with some bros next weekend woot ps i love camper joe[/QUOTE] if you can handle it, learn some Primus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rush, maybe some Mr. Big you'll have to fight the women off

flea is a monster

you forgot jerry was a race car driver ;~)

[QUOTE=blezzy;29100682]you forgot jerry was a race car driver ;~)[/QUOTE] But primus sucks...

i've always liked their bass version of master of puppets much better than metallicas lol, thanks for reminding me [editline]11th April 2011[/editline] wow way to fuck my automerge

[QUOTE=Siminov;29100598]My Name Is Mud Shake Hands With Beef Their version of: Master Of Puppets That will take you a few months, have fun[/QUOTE] lacquer head too

have any of you heard of hexen? They're a really good thrash band with an insane guitarist. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMkLYMnYWds&feature=related[/media]

[QUOTE=Knorre;29095808]Solution: Get a 7 string.[/QUOTE] Or just get thicker strings?

[QUOTE=LasGunz;29093400]In a band or on your own? If in a band chances are you have your amp louder than everyone else or it just sounds plain bad in the mix. Unless your amp settings favor mids and treble over bass, as in lots more to buff out the warmth and bass of neck pickups.[/QUOTE] In a band. I like the beefier tone of the neck pickup, it pairs well with any kind of overdrive, plus it doesn't make that twangy 50's sound the bridge pickup makes. But it's only for one song anyway. :v:

[QUOTE=allyhaxorz;29102434]Or just get thicker strings?[/QUOTE] That or a baritone scale guitar. Simply having a 7 string guitar wont help unless it's extended scale.

[QUOTE=TheGuru;29104410]That or a baritone scale guitar. Simply having a 7 string guitar wont help unless it's extended scale.[/QUOTE] Then again most sevens have an extended scale afaik

Been learning some racer x lately, I love the harmonies.

Who's been talking about drop Z here? I hit drop Z with my 80 gauge strings deeper tuned than a damn 5 string bass. :colbert: I think I remaster my doomy little sample I made in that tuning then post it here, it sounded weak and horrible compared to my new pr0 m4ster skillz. :downs:

[QUOTE=Knorre;29104424]Then again most sevens have an extended scale afaik[/QUOTE] Most 7s I've come across are 25.5" scale, just like your typical 6 string Fender scale guitar. My RG7620 is 25.5" in scale, and it really isn't long enough for the low B in my opinion. If I ever buy another 7 string it will either be 27" or fanned from 25.5"-27"

I love playing on heavy strings but god damn it why does my favorite brand of strings have to have a wound G? Looks like I'm going back to Ernie Balls unless I can find a decent coated set that dont have a wound G
