Rhytm. Everything is about time.

Nightwatchman is also awesome.

And fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.

[snipelfritz]

I don' want to leave my bedroom ever again. The only problem is that there are no locks with which to lock me in.

[snipelfritz]

I want to sleep forever, but I already did that all day yesterday.

[Achtane]

There's probably a manual for it online.

[dubkitty]

i never do anything with the tone knobs on my amps other than dime them, so they're pretty much irrelevant anyway. you could put a cigarette lighter in there or something.

[Fuzzy Fred]

I use my tone knobs...

[Achtane]

I almost exclusively use the neck pickup on basses
And even then I play closer to the neck than the pickup.

Jazz with both on is okay, but I like neck more.
Jazz bridge is very situational for me. I don't like it for normal playing.
Jazz bridge + Ric middle is great though. As is neck-Ric. Or Ric. Or neck.

i'm with you 100%. i like the BOOOM aspect of bass best. there's also the factor that the low end is always the part of the sound that gets lost by bad amping, fuzz cutting the lows, etc. I do like to dial in some bridge PU on the Jazz Bass at times to get some of that growly attitude on the high notes, but the neck PU always predominates. i tend to keep the tone control on the bass turned way down, having read early on that "Duck" Dunn and Tim Drummond did likewise. i don't have a bass amp yet, but i expect that when i do i'll probably keep the tones pretty flat simply because hyping the top or bottom on (4-string) bass seems to just make the sound unpleasant to my ear.

i'm a total dinosaur that way. i believe that the world started going wrong when people started using banks of 10" speakers rather than 15"s for bass. it's called a bass, not a twangy-shit-at-800-Hz.

^ JUST MY OPINION

[Achtane]

I know what you mean. Although my tone control is always fully open 'cause I already cut highs and add a bit of bass. My strings are already either fat, flat or I'm using a bassy pickup too. But I still like some definition.

I would like a new cab...

I completely disagree with you. But it's still cool, diffrnt strokes n all that

edit:: this reminds me. I was listening to Red Sparowes "Every Red Heart..." today, and I was thinking to myself, "Man, some of these basslines are fucking awesome, except that his bass tone is so fucking muddy that I can barely tell what note he's playing. I wish he'd turn his fucking treble up a little bit."
