I just installed a 10-band EQ and noise gate into my combo...


...by velcroing pedals to the inside of it...



*Pics to come, prolly in the "show your amp" thread.

YES!!

What combo is it? I think this would awesome with a couple of pedals awkwardly perched on it.

Oh no, it's a nice combo, 1980 Fender 75, and the pedals aren't perched on it. They're inside the amp

Not gonna lie, that's kind of awesome.

..........wut.

I just went ahead and bought 2 instructional/practice aid books. I haven't bought anything like this in a LONG time. One is called Bass Aerobics. It has 52 exercises, suppposed to learn one a week, they get gradually harder. It has a CD to play along with, a track for each exercise. I have heard really good things about this book.
The second is Extreme Metal Bass by Alex Webster. This book is geared toward 5 string playing, I just got a 5er a bit ago. I know a bunch of tricks for playing brutal music but figured what the hell?!? The book covers speed and technique, scales and modes (for a 5 string), and has a CD to jam with too.

I am not in a playing rut or anything because I have always thought books like this are good for beginners or people stuck in a rut, playing the same sounding stuff. I just want to expand my technique a bit. i got both books for under $30 off of Amazon. I'll let you know what I think after I get them.

Yeah...too much drama there, and that's saying something for TB. For example...

...hoo boy.

I've been looking at that title on Amazon as well...let me know how it works for you , please.

Delta mentioned it in a PM to me, Mudd, and I jumped on it. I've been jamming it. Totally dig it. It's stuff I haven't done in about a decade. Always good to take a look back. But it does advance to some stuff that's challenging, too. Other people will say they could find it all online. That MIGHT be true....but it being a book I bought keeps me honest.

Why don't we have an ILF P&W worship team?

Thanks Sousa! I'd rather have a hard copy myself as well, and the disc is one reason why. And I can ALWAYS use technique exercises...I need all the help I can get, usually.

Volume pedal - EHX Big Muff Pi - EHX Small Clone - EHX Bassballs - ProTone Raven Dirty Chorus - Boss Bass Overdrive.
I use almost every effect during the service, hardly ever use a clean channel. Church has really grown and gotten away from their religiousness

That's a pretty dope rig.


Also, churches (real churches, none of this weird Bible belt megachurch shit) usually have really cool acoustics.

YEah, I felt the same way as Sousa about having a hard copy. I am trying to structure some of my practice a bit more instead of a riff fest and effects throwdown only. Still going to do that a lot too but some structure and reworking on some basics is great. I used to be able to sight read, no I can sight translate, at best...

I've had a book called "Bass Fitness" for a couple of years now. I have hardly opened it though. Not because it isn't a good book, but because I apparently care more about gear then I do about becoming more proficient. I should start back into it though. I too like the hard copy better. This may be motivation!

Yeah, but I wanna be a musician on a team.

How 'bout: DIVAS (Deadly ILF Ventriloquist Assassination Squad)?
