We've seen upwards of 120 at times. Truthfully, after 105, you don't even notice the difference.

However, it's a dry heat. I can only imagine what 107 + humidity feels like. *gag*

for the most part on really hot days around here humidity is pretty low right now it's 91 with 31% humidity.

Conversions:
43.89 degrees C (for everyone else)
317 K (for the science geeks)
570.7 R (for 6 or 7 engineering people on the planet who actually use it)[/quote]
Holy ****. I can't even stand 30 degrees C.

That's because you're in nuu zeeland. Where I'm living people around me rug up when it goes below 20. I'm so glad I was born in the south. It virtually doesn't get cold here, the coldest it's been in the dead of night lately very rarely gets down near 5.

Hottest days here are only mid-high 30's but it's so ****ing humid it's ridiculous. That's why no one wears clothes here and the skin cancer rate is higher than anywhere else. And people who're 30 look about 60 with leather for skin.

20C is too hot for me :(

Lol 20C is the temp we put the heat pump in our room on.


Temperature is so god damn relative.


When's your album dropping Fatty?

Pix or it never happn'd

Thanks for checking out my old band's EP Joel :).

No problem mate, it was a fun listen man!

Next time I post some of my playing it'll be tastier bass recordings for sure.

PS, please spam all your friends with it :p. There's never going to be any more of it so I'd just like it to go to good homes.

We never have more than 10% humidity unless it's monsoon season.

Like, never.

Ain't been much humid around these parts lately, chilly season.

What are people up to? I'm having fun transcribing an old Jackson 5 bassline.

Gig coming up. Hello nerves.

Last night, a guitarist I'm gigging with on Saturday asked me to come up with a really dirty sound (or as he described it: dirty, like a smelly pirate cooter). I ended up using my BBM Pi to split the signal. I used a dirty OD signal for the low end, and sent the clean signal through an octaver with some Digitech guitar distortion pedal after it, and combined it all back together for my amp.

It's a disgustingly dirty sound with two octave and two different distortions. It's rather gag-inducing and almost synth-y in nature, but I suspect that's the octave's fault. I might try a different distortion & EQ setting for the octave to make it blend a little better.

Man you are like a chef cooking up distortions.

What kind of music is this album fatbandit? Grab a free copy of my old band's EP if you feel like it, thread is in the bass forum.

[quote=gaslight;18085627]Man you are like a chef cooking up distortions.[/quote]

Gotta do it, man. Different situations require different types of distortion. In this case, I'm combining two of the situations (clean, low notes & synthy, high notes).

The octave helps to fill up the sound (the band only has one guitarist, who writes very simple lines and does vocals).

Half a bassist's job is doing other people's jobs.

"Want You Back" by Jackson 5 has a tight as bassline, Wilton Felder giving it the Motown sauce.

Uh, it's kinda like modern prog? Bit heavy, but melodic, but no solos and wanky stuff like that. The guitar forum would hate it.

PS, get a gated fuzz pedal, and be happy with disgustingly awesome bass tone forever.

I've been considering a fuzz. Any suggestions?

what would you guys recommend for overdrive, perferably non-digital. Is there such thing as analog overdrive? or is that just tube distortion?

[quote=Gattsu347;18085755]what would you guys recommend for overdrive, perferably non-digital. Is there such thing as analog overdrive? or is that just tube distortion?[/quote]

Correct.

Although it's digital, I really like SanSamp stuff. It's probably the best bang for the buck that I've found.

cool ill look into it. i recorded my friends piano the other day and put my digitech bass distortion in the line and it sounds pretty gnarly, but would probably sound amazing if i could get an "analog" overdrive sound on it.

playing a show tomorrow night at Fort St. John's college. I'm stoked beyond reason.

issue?

because it's all my own stuff (save for a Fugazi cover) I'm playing... guitar. :upset:

The flaming lips put on one hell of a show..

holy crap its puke boy!


you might better remember me at irishslappop

Hey gearheads, I need some recommendations for music listening headphones. Budget is preferably under $500, though I am happy to browse links of more expensive ones to marvel at them.
