perfect tone.

[Bassinator89]

I have it right now, coming through my hartke ha3500 and a pair of 15 dollar radioshack headphones. Figures, eh?

Also, why does it seem I always play late at night so amazingly. I dunno, today was a breakthrough day for me, I broke my slap rut of the same patter over and over and started tapping. I LOVE BASS!

[Left Shoe]

your muscle memory is better when you are tired, maybe thats why you play better?

muscle memory? what is this? the memory for muscles? eh?

[White_Summer]

yeah, it is, haha, and whats with the eh? you trying to be over canadian eh? n e ways you play better at night maybe because there is less distractions as well

[I play that funky music]

I didnt know your muscle memory is better when your tired. That is pretty nifty because I always end up jamming at like 3 in the morning.

[faelun]

i do the same but i still havent broken my stupid octave slap pattern!! it angers me greatly

[neatobassman]

That doesn't make sence, but explains alot of things. lol.

[White_Summer]

perfect tone is a myth by the way, it doesnt exist, after a while you will find something you dont like about it

[Radiobass81]

My perfect tone:

Musicman Stingray > Hartke amp (or possibly SWR Super Red Head)

that is a myth too. some people are incredibly non-fickle about tone

[Mr. Pickle]

perfect tone through hartke equipment... definitley not for me anyways.

Oh hush :p.

Not even aluminum-coned Hartkes?

[Mr. Pickle]

well, i started with aluminum (behringer) and got tired of it. i then moved onto paper (current cab) and i'm finally starting to realize what kind of tone i desire and i'll probably be needing aluminum cones for it, even though i thought i'd be a die-hard paper guy.

The aluminum hartke cabs sound great, the paper are junk, but i just dont think i'll ever be able to get a perfect tone out of a hartke.

I've been kind of thinking of cab shopping, big red is keeping up anymore. any suggestions on a good aluminum 4x10?

[Radiobass81]

Only brand that I know is Hartke (or the Behringer Hartke ripoffs). :-/

[Mr. Pickle]

yeah, i might have to go with a hartke, unless i find a paper 410 that suits my needs.

punch > warmth

[Radiobass81]

Just get the Hartke cab, and get the head that suits your tonal needs.

[White_Summer]

My perfect tone:

Musicman Stingray > Hartke amp (or possibly SWR Super Red Head)
i heard they stopped making super red heads, if this is true get one before they dissapeer, they are amazing, i love em

[Mr. Pickle]

do you have any personal experience with avatar jorge?

[bbbbass]

HAHA! Perfect tone is as subjective as favorite foods.

[Mr. Pickle]

^^Yeah, did someone say else wise?

[ZMM]

I think Ashdown has a 4x10. It might be a combo though.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

do you have any personal experience with avatar jorge?

Avatar cabs are nice.

I've played through them before because my friend Nick has a 1x15 and a 4x10 from them. He's a member of these forums. His username is either Sporksbassist or Sporkbassist. I don't quite remember. He doesn't sign on much.


And my perfect tone comes from my Peavey Series-400 head. It's my 1x15 Carvin cab that ruins it, though. It's too woofy. I'm thinking I'm either going to need a 4x10 or possibly an 8x10 for my tone to really be just that much more perfect.

ahahahaha 123. :smash: and the equipment companies love that.

and ashdown has a 4x10 combo, as well as just a seperate 4x10 cabinet. Yet to play through them though. They dont carry any near me.

AHHHHHHHHHH ok. I must have missed that little piece of info. Thanks man. Ok back to the topic. Sorry again folks.

[kilian]

^^That's ok.

I always dislike my tone at home, but in a bandsituation.. it works perfect :lol:

I think I need to live with that.

[tim_commerfordism]

I never have the perfect tone. Im getting there though :p

[Radiobass81]

i heard they stopped making super red heads, if this is true get one before they dissapeer, they are amazing, i love em
The heads and cabs, yeah I think, but the Super Red Head combo is still available. :)

Mr. Pickle: Nope, sorry :(.

Plueperfect: Sporkbassist? Tell him to log on! He's been gone for ages!

Yes, him! Nick!

I told him to log on sometime soon.

He lives not too far from me, and I haven't seen him in forever. :( I like the fact that I met him through MX. That kind of rules.

Hmm...
His band just put up their demo, though, and I'm going to see his band for the first time in a long while on the twenty-first. I'm excited!

[JadedBass]

hell I got my perfect tone, cept the perfect tone for me, is not the tone my jazz band teacher, nor my metal bands wants, nor fits.


but it exist but definally different for everyone:chug:

[SporKsBaSSisT]

Hey you sheep boys! Stop that jibber jabbin'!

So uh what am I here for? My cabs? Yeah they sound good and they are pretty loud. Well, the sound good when the player is good. Pluperfect kinda sucks so he sounds bad. He's just a washed out guitarist anyway.

By the way Nik, the reason you havent been to one of our shows in a while is because either A) you are lazy or B) youd rather get drunk with a bunch of girlpant wearing homies. the funny part is i have nothing against them as people, i love eric and all them haha. i just resent them for stealing neek.

[peeted]

i finaly know why i play beter at stupid times in the morning
