bass guitar setup tips

Posted by relapse on 27th August 2010 in Kids Bass Amps

What is the best way to establish a test for heavy metals - Where do I put the amps?

Also, some tips to concerts? We do not have monitors, so what is the best configuration of guitar amplifiers, voice amplifier, amplifier bass and drums, so you can hear each other enough to stay together? Let's do some outdoor concerts and indoor concerts for some 100-200 people. Our amplifiers are tube amps and the volume is not a problem. We play mostly Metallica covers.

It is difficult, without monitors, but I'd say your best option is to all the amplifiers and drum set behind the band. In this way the sound has to pass first time. Try to place their amps so if the sound came in straight line of each amplifier, all lines that intersect at some point in the middle of where we are all standing. That way you can hear all the instruments, but the bass is a little closer to your amplifier to listen to himself a little more, guitarist to be close to your amplifier, etc. This is not a situation perfect, but it's hard to get much better without monitors.

bass guitar action height

bass guitar action height
What is up with the "perfect action" in a bass?

I'd say about 1 cm (10 mm) is almost perfect, what you think? I just play heavy metal for I am not worried by slapping or popping, etc.

large personal preferences I have mine set fairly low. Less than 1 cm. I like the strings as close as I can get without vibrating against guitar. if you play metal cords may have point and therefore less tense so you may need more space

bass guitar nut

Under help repair the guitar?

I have a low, like a month ago, so I'll try to describe what happened as best I can. Something happened to taking the guitar where the cable will be connected to the amplifier. The nut and washer on the cat came out, and now I can hear something inside the guitar and singing I connect vibration the cable into the socket. Can you tell me what is wrong and how I can fix it? I do not think there is a back plate. If it helps, p-bass is a Squier.

Hey Jason No fret here .... just open the back of the bass. You should see loose piece fall when you shake a little low, once the cover is removed on the back. Whatever you do, put the jack back inthe hole from the inside, now screw the washer and nut on the back. simple. You longnose pliers and without excess. That's it. Plug it in and play at will. If not, my email and I explain what they are doing wrong.

bass guitar effects pedals

Posted by relapse on 29th March 2010 in Kids Bass Amps

Opinions on bass guitar effects pedal?

I'm looking to buy either a fuzz, or some sort of synth pedal for my bass. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,I'm a music tutor and professional bass player with 20 years stage experience.
The pedals that i wont play without are as follows,

Compression-This will help you control the basses wide dynamic range(volume),especialy if you use a funk/slap style.
It will keep your sound smooth and even

EQ-This allows a wide range of tone to help emulate many different bass sounds(and used with proper compression settings will allow you to get a fretless feel)

Chorus-This will fatten your sound when used in moderation.
If you play on stage with just one guitarist,then a more agressive setting will fill in the gaps when the guitarist goes into leads

Hope this helps,
Rob
