[QUOTE=Akira;13447647]I like that alot. What are you using for the fat fuzzy distortion, and for the higher track that comes later. Hot tones.[/QUOTE]

Higher track? :p It's all looped, baby.

The fat fuzzy distortion is my ME-50B with a mid-boost and the metal distortion. The higher pitched part is the same two, plus a chorus + delay combo, and an octave up effect.

Akira 10-15-2006 07:25 PM

I meant higher in pitch. I really like that tone. The octave sounds ace.

It sounds like total a[size=2]ss[/size] on its own, but layered with other effects, I've found it to be extremely useful.

Akira 10-15-2006 07:30 PM

Would you recommend the ME-50B? It looks pretty cool. After using my BP200, it is so appealing to have everything labeled and not digitial in one screen.

Oh, absolutely. I find that having it totally analog is a great way to go. My biggest complaint is that sometimes I want to use 2 effects that are in the same section, but that's alright. I've had mine for 1.5 years and have really put it to use.

If you don't use a wide variety of effects, though, it might not be worth the price.

Akira 10-15-2006 07:35 PM

I probably won't get it because I don't use a lot of effects. I want to get a distortion unit, and maybe a delay. Along with my chorus, I think I would be pretty much set.

BenJammin 10-15-2006 07:37 PM

Yeah, in that case, don't bother. The money you'd spend on the ME-50B could be put toward individual pedals.

Someday, I plan on selling it off and buying individuals, but that's far from being a priority. I want to upgrade my bass and buy a cab first (in reverse order).

Akira 10-15-2006 07:44 PM

I think a six string comes before pedals. I have recently really been wanting the extra room. Only I am not going to be able to try out a BTB, so it is now between the SR506 and a Tune I played at Sam Ash. I suck at making big purchases - I hate spend large amounts of money at once.

:lol: I know the feeling. I want the gear, but don't want to spend the money.

Anyone watching the game?

I heavily regret not playing baseball when I was younger. I would've LOVED to be a pitcher...

BenJammin 10-15-2006 07:56 PM

I just never got into baseball.

What's in Poland?

I quit playing baseball about 2 years ago.

I played baseball when I was younger.

One of the more boring sports to play. I played that for two years. I also did track and field for two years with the 100M dash and high jump as my main events.

Wrestling was my thing, though, and I did that for six years. Coaches begged me to come back when I trasnferred back to my old high school. :p

PainKiller8191 10-15-2006 08:02 PM

holocaust memorial stuff, we're visiting all the major concentration/death camps and touring poland in general
anyway, i'm gone

They are tricking you.

They are actually going to gas you when you go into one.

[QUOTE=BenJammin;13447890]Wrastlin', eh?[/QUOTE]

Yes, wrestling. Everyone always seems to think it is just some homosexual sport since guys are rolling around on mats together with their tight, little singlets. :upset:

Radiobass81 10-15-2006 08:03 PM

To all who played: What's the oldest you could start (for pitching) and still be good? Like, to play college baseball, or whatever?

Pretty impossible for me, huh :(...

Eh...it really depends if you were a natural at the sport or something. A lot of players start out when they are young or when they first enter high school, so it really just depends.

How old are you? Hopefully no later than 15 - 16, you have a lot to learn and practice.

I started learning at 11 and totally raped my wrist at 14 :lol:
Don't throw splitters, kids.

Haha, no worries, man. I used to be in a primarily grappling martial arts, so I spent my fair share of time rolling around on mats with other guys.

No tight little singlets, though. :p

Radiobass81 10-15-2006 08:07 PM

16, 17 in February... :upset:

Damn.

BassVirtuoso 10-15-2006 08:09 PM

I need to relearn how to throw a football.

Yeah, I have been meaning to start up with martial arts. What did you do, or was it Brasilian Jujutsu? I know they train you to fight on the ground.

I am going to start up and training in Muay Thai sometime soon once I find a place nearby. Finding places that allow you train for that are hard to find here.

Yashnaheen 10-15-2006 08:10 PM

Don't give up on it, especially if you really want to do this.

Starting late can be good motovation for trying with everything your have, or can make you not even give it an effort. That is all up to you. Its quite possible yet if you put in the effort. Starting at 16 isn't the end of the world :chug:

I took sambo, actually. It's a Russian martial art, if you're not familiar with it. My instructor simultaneously taught us kung-fu too (he called it samfu, but I refused to acknowledge that name), so it was a pretty well-rounded experience.
