Nice. A good strap for a heavy bass is pretty essential.

Spaceman Spiff 07-09-2009 06:22 PM

I love my guitar. I don't even feel it even after an hour long set. It's a feather.

Been trying to sell my Wasabi Delay for ages! It is a good one actually :) Very natural sounding. Doesn't stick to my pedalboard though. Definitely got a good deal for $50.

Never really thought about delay for a walking bassline, but I could imagine it sounding pretty messy! I tend to use delay mostly with volume swells.

fatbandit 07-09-2009 06:26 PM

Also, to power your pedals, something like a 1spot would probably be ideal.

Delay on a walking bassline would be completely awful unless it was extremely short and even then it wouldn't be nice to hear. Too many chromatic notes being delayed over eachother, chord tones from one chord delaying through over the next bunch, it'd be a disaster.

I dunno, I think it has the potential to sound cool. You would obviously have to recognize what tones can follow others, but I'm sure you could get a nifty sounding walking bassline using delay.

gaslight 07-09-2009 08:53 PM

Maybe at a very slow tempo, but at anything uptempo the delay would butcher the hell out of it.

Crapdragoon 07-10-2009 12:25 AM

oh hell yes i just got my redstar 212 cab in the mail today, man this thing is heavy.

I wouldn't say [I]anything[/i] fast.... you'd just have to make some adjustments so it sounded tasteful.




Cd: how heavy is the cab?

gaslight 07-10-2009 12:39 AM

Maybe if you take all the chromatics out of it but that's like making a steak sandwich with just bread.

What's Red Star, is that what became of Sovtek?

Red Star audio, a Houston Texas based cab making company.


amaze, its exactly 80lbs.

gaslight 07-10-2009 12:54 AM

That's not too bad really, my cab is very very light and it's about 60 of your lbs.

Crapdragoon 07-10-2009 01:00 AM

what is it?

Nah, if you just change the dynamics and timing of chromatics, I'm pretty sure you could nake it work.

gaslight 07-10-2009 01:15 AM

It's an Epifani UL212.

I just don't think this walking with delay thing will work, if someone posts a recording of it I'll evaluate it on its merits but putting on a delay pedal and and walking through a chorus of [i]Stella[/i] just ain't gonna work in my mind.

:amaze: 07-10-2009 02:28 AM

Well it definitely wouldn't work for [I]every[/i] walking bassline... haha

burtonbassist_102 07-10-2009 02:56 AM

om nom nom nom

m-dirnt_fan101 07-11-2009 06:18 PM

havent played in weeks, and Im playing tomorrow night...my hands are SLOW!:mad:

gaslight 07-11-2009 11:27 PM

You'll be okay, practise up overnight.

Spaceman Spiff 07-12-2009 08:58 AM

So close to finishing this album. I hate having a schedule that doesn't let me record every day.

gaslight 07-12-2009 09:58 AM

Where are you recording?

Convectuoso 07-12-2009 05:44 PM

Sup casual

I was thinking a single, quick delay, possibly reminiscent of a slap back or even just to make it sound like I'm playing every 8th note instead of every quarter, but not delaying over each other. I could also try to time it so the single delayed note is the swung 8th note.

Foxfire 07-12-2009 09:08 PM

Hey guys.

Spaceman Spiff 07-12-2009 09:32 PM

[QUOTE=gaslight;17358987]Where are you recording?[/QUOTE]

Friend's house with some pretty not bad at all equipment and a guy who has almost 10 years experience recording music.

Crapdragoon 07-12-2009 11:19 PM

hmm odd so i used my 212 cab i just got at practice over the weekend, and its actually louder then the 410 i was using at same volume level (2 out of 10 on master)

gaslight 07-13-2009 12:19 AM

That's not too weird is it? I'd expect to get better results from a 212.

fatbandit 07-13-2009 01:27 AM

My 212 is louder than my friend's 4x10 and 1x15 stack.

Crapdragoon 07-13-2009 01:29 AM

heh i dunno i just figured the extra 16 inches of air the 410 pushes would make a diff

gaslight 07-13-2009 01:33 AM

212s are awesome, I love mine to pieces.
