Dave. Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I'm generally a fan of Ampeg Bass Amps but I'm actually really glad Chris stopped using them. I know it wouldn't be the main reason but during the Showbiz tour his tone was borderline laughable. Speaking of basses. When I first started playing in my band I also exclusively played on the Jazz pickup (my bass has a P and Jazz pickup) but now I'm playing 90% of my stuff on the P. Its really odd.

Crowella Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm generally a fan of Ampeg Bass Amps but I'm actually really glad Chris stopped using them. I know it wouldn't be the main reason but during the Showbiz tour his tone was borderline laughable. Which is odd, because I love a lot of the tone from the Showbiz album. Didn't sound as tight and restricted as the other albums. The Hyper Music video sounded pretty bad. Sounds like the recording wasn't great in combination with an average performance. Speaking of basses. When I first started playing in my band I also exclusively played on the Jazz pickup (my bass has a P and Jazz pickup) but now I'm playing 90% of my stuff on the P. Its really odd. That's normal. You're learning to love P pickups. I find they are less noisy and have a smoother suitable tone. That's my go to pickup on my Bass Collection and Fender Precision (P/J config) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthijs Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 On that configuration I'd mostly use the P with the J added for some growl. Still not sure, should I get the GEB-7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Question for chedda: Boss GEB-7 for 40 euros. Worth y/n? yeh I paid £40 for mine and would buy another, it's very useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 There's a new Polytune if anyone's interested. As far as I can tell it's almost exactly the same as the old one though really. Brighter screen and ever so slightly more accurate (wasn't exactly imprecise before though). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMk1fjWbrlI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 On that configuration I'd mostly use the P with the J added for some growl. +100%. The Jazz pickup adds quite a lot of growl. I don't normally dial the J pickup all the way up but I'll either 50/50 blend on the BC or turn the P to full, J to 50% on the Precision when I need growl.

That's my go to pickup on my Bass Collection and Fender Precision (P/J config) On the album he has pretty decent tone. But live it just fell apart, his overall tone became much better after the change to Marshall in my opinion. The only times I use my Jazz pup is on some RHCP songs and to add more power or growl as you said. But I'm still naive when it comes to bass set ups. I mean, I don't even know whats strings I have to get when I have to change them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so sure it was a troll at first. So many staple songs of this entire tour just ditched for epic rarities/bsides! When was the last time a set didn't have KoC!!! And we thought it was crazy when Yes Please/Agitated showed up at the last stadium show... They wore the panic station outfits, with tons of people dressed up and dancing on stage, including Tom Kirk. Morgan had the school girl uniform on! I am actually surprised Muscle museum didn't show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never going to sound right until the pedal is unearthed. Supro came today What are you planning to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
