Today I did a brief training session on my short scale Bass using only the 19-inch rack mount effect.

I configured the effect with the Leslie FX, a system with a rotating speaker rotating drum and many other parameters which you can also overdrive to get nice crunchy sounds.


The photograph composed in total darkness shows a dark background with a digital display and several illuminated buttons. The display is lit in Amber and shows the letters "Lesl." Below the display, there are several buttons, some of which are lit in red, and a few in green. The red-lit buttons are arranged vertically, with one directly below the display and others spaced out. The green-lit buttons are located at the bottom of the image, with two sets of four lights each. The overall scene is set against a black background, emphasizing the red and green lights.

Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

Bass Guitar Amplifier Adjustment

Adjusting a bass guitar amplifier involves setting the EQ (equalization) and other controls to get the best tone for your style, venue, and preferences. Here’s a step-by-step guide to dialing in your bass amp settings:

1. Set Initial Controls
Gain: Start with the gain at a low level. Increase it gradually until you hear distortion, then back off until the sound is clean. If you prefer a grittier tone, leave the gain slightly higher.
Volume: Set the volume to a comfortable level. Adjust it based on your playing environment, such as practicing alone or playing with a band.
2. Adjust EQ (Bass, Mid, Treble)
Bass: Controls the low-end frequencies. Increasing the bass can add warmth and depth. For a more defined sound, avoid cranking the bass too high, as it can make the sound muddy.
Mids: Mids are essential for a clear and punchy tone, especially in a mix. Higher mids add clarity and presence; reducing them can create a scooped sound often used in slap bass.
Treble: Controls the high-end frequencies. Increase it for more clarity and definition, or roll it back for a warmer sound.
3. Use Shape/Contour Controls (if available)
Many bass amps have a "shape" or "contour" control that adjusts the mids for different tones. Experiment to see how these affect your sound, especially if you want a quick, scooped tone.
4. Experiment with Extra Features
Compression: Some amps have a built-in compressor, which smooths out your dynamics and adds sustain. Start low, increasing only until it’s just noticeable.
Drive or Overdrive: If you like a more aggressive, gritty tone, use the drive/overdrive knob to add subtle distortion.
5. Room Acoustics
Adjusting your EQ based on the room’s acoustics is important, especially for live gigs. Rooms with a lot of bass resonance may require turning down the low-end or cutting certain frequencies.
6. Test and Fine-Tune
Play different styles and techniques, like slap, fingerstyle, and pick, to see how your tone holds up.

I am going to link a long article here which I need to post on another Fediverse account

This post does not come from my brains; I've copied it over after I've seen that everything checks out as factual.
The post is from another Network

It turns out that I can use the Behringer Bass overdrive pedal well β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή when I want a slight amount of effect applied to the Bass signal. Make no mistake it is also achieved with any of the Joyo Overdrive pedals. The difference is that with the Behringer it takes longer before the effect is prominent.

I've run an early Bass session today. The setup of my effects are in the photographs
I can dwell on them, if you would want some extra information; the hashtags tell you which brands of pedals I use even though they are clearly visible in the photographs

@altbot

The photograph depicts a vertical arrangement of illuminated lights against a dark background. The dominant color is red, with the word "TREM" from the effect tremolo, prominently displayed in bright red neon letters, suggesting a connection to a effect system. The letters are vertically aligned, with each letter separated by a small gap. Surrounding the word "TREM" are several red lights, some of which are rectangular and others are square, creating a pattern that could indicate operational status or signaling. Additionally, there are a few green lights, which are less prominent and appear at the bottom of the image. The overall effect is a stark contrast between the bright lights and the dark surroundings, emphasizing the illuminated elements. The photograph was illuminated with a warming light and was also filtered with an 85 f warming filterThe photograph shows a collection of Joyo Bass guitar pedals arranged on a fabric with a tropical leaf pattern. The pedals are connected by unstable tip sleave cables, and some have illuminated LED lights. The top pedal is red and labeled "JOYO DARK ME..." Below it is a silver pedal with a knob and several knobs and switches, a Behringer pedal. The central pedal is red and labeled "JOYO GLOAM," with a green LED light on. The bottom pedal is black and labeled "JOYO D...," with a red LED light. The cables are connected to the pedals, suggesting they are part of a Bass guitar effects setup. The fabric background has a dark blue color with green and yellow leaf designs. The photograph was composed with a warming light & was also filtered with 85f warming filter, giving interesting look to the scene

Has it been this long? I should have written down what I've done in between with my Bass Journey. I made contact with few people playing the styles that I like, in a musical jamming environment. These musicians are seasoned have been playing for 50 plus years and know their instruments. I've interacted with a Tenor Saxophone 🎷 player a trumpet player, and a bass player

The session was extremely short and basically, I did some fine-tuning of certain critical parts of the Short Scale base.

After verifying that the fine tuning was done properly, I'll run the Bass session later this night

In this photograph you can clearly see the limitations of a very small image sensor in relationship to a highly Dynamic scene.

My Nikon bodies and my Sony body which also takes my Minolta Lenses, here 50mm f1.2, have much larger sensors and would have never failed in such a horrible manner.

In this scene I portray how good the lighting arrangement is on the Behringer rack mount effect

Do you want to guess which instrument I was playing with?

The photograph is a hint. The musical style is metal. I have thoroughly enjoyed playing with my Short Scale Bass

Still kinda sad I found an interesting Ibanez 2030 short scale #bass locally for cheap but the person never replied to my message (even sent shortly after posting) and then yanked listing.

It kind of matched all my requirements - short scale since I want to see if that helps with my back and hands, it's definitely something different than the normal and it was quite cheap. I have a number of other oddball basses so it would have been right at home with some early 80s #matsumoku basses and a late 90s #ibanez #sr800

Ah well, I guess I'll just have to be patient and see what else floats around the local markets. Sometimes interesting things do show up.
