    High gain tight drive metal pedal?

    Looking for suggestions on a high gain drive/dirt/distortion to stack in front of my low gain overdrive. My modded rat is fun and sputtery but, I need something tighter/quicker and thicker for the metal band I’m in. Currently playing a 5 string with two 7 string guitar players in the band...

    Short scale bass with narrow string spacing?

    Hi, I am originally a guitarist, now playing bass, and far more comfortable playing short scale (30" scale or shorter) basses with narrow (~14mm) string spacing (though, not guitar spacing [~ <13mm], so that I can comfortably play fingerstyle). I have been surprised to find very few (i.e., none)...

    Amps with fast, tight bass response.

    Hi folks, I am in the market for a new bass amp and unfortunately can't try much where I'm at. What I want is a fairly clean amp capable of some warmth, lots of slam, with a modern tight bass response, good built in compressor is a plus, though not neccessary. I currently use a TC RH450 and I...

    Do you have a bass that doesn't sound "tight"?

    Help me out with this experiment. It will cost you, maybe a penny. If you have a bass that just isn't as tight feeling as you would like, maybe the low B doesn't sound as good as you would like, etc. Tap the pickup and see if you get any hint of a rattle from it. This will typically happen on...

    The tight, punchy bass tone! But...how do I get it?

    So it’s probably me being very analytical again, but I’m curious as how to get a really tight sounding bass tone that is really focused. I have a bass with flats, which are often agreed to be the epitome of punch, but I just want more. On watching a video from a seemingly really intelligent guy...

    Double Bass Too tight Bass bag?

    Hi Guys! So I recently bought a new double bass but the bag I have is tight around the bridge area. I don't think it can be a big problem but I wanna be sure. Can a bag be too tight against the bridge? Cheers, Simon

    Double Bass Orchestral strings for a bright, tight bass

    I need new strings for my bass. I play it exclusively in orchestral/classical situations, so arco performance is the biggest consideration.

    How is this obtained? It must be more than just new strings. The bass in question is a G&L L-2000. Examples: 6:20-6:45 (Anthony Jackson) 1:42-4:30 (Anthony Jackson) 0:59-1:30 (Michael League) Thanks!
