I love your StingRay too. And mine😁

Does he usually make these predictions at least short term? I dont recall many, so if its rare, it seems curious

I see you like series with filter based on the switch. Seems like just about everyone prefers the regular series mode so its interesting to see some variety! Do you ever switch around?

No plans for Natlan characters. Maybe if through story or kit something starts to appeal to me. Out of reruns maybe Kazuha and Ganyu

One of my bands likes some oomph in the room even if we are all digital except for drums. I dont need it and wont take the amp to gigs but will use backline amp if provided (and usually sounds like shit).

I dont mind it, but I dont need it, the less stage noise the better

Thanks for this. I will try to find some more mileage out of triads, even if the last paragraphs worth of music fu might not be happening anywhere in the near future 😁

The triad and arpeggio thing keeps baffling me. Yeah, I know 1, 3, 5 and add octave for arpeggio?

What more is there to learn after it? Isnt it always the same outside minor/major 3rd?

But I guess the part I would still need to learn years later is how to make anything out of it. Everything I make out of only that recipe sounds the same and then I feel I play the same stuff every song.

I feel I havnt unlocked the most important part of that lesson and I still dont know what it is. But playing 1, 3, 4, 8 has never lead to anything meaningful or that good sounding for me. I mean it works, but its really close to the bassist memes about bassists just going 1, 5, 1, 5

I feel for me 2, 4, 6 and 7 are almost more important lol. Maybe through feeling 135 is too basic?

I started just to see how bad it was as I kept reading. Boy were they wrong

In general you have to be pretty deranged and delusional to ship any fictional characters where no relationships exist. Its all bad and you need to go out

Its not like most of B0 you hear is actually the fundamental either. You would here plenty of E0, but it would largely be the overtones, just like with other really low notes

But did he drop the Ernie Ball or the Sterling Ball?

If you hit 3 enemies with the cat box, I believe the amount of shielding you can get is rivaled only by zhongli.

EBMM really drop the ball with the naming. The bass in picture is a Made in America bass, model name Sterling. Basically a Stingay, but it's a bit smaller in some aspects and has a bit hardware (compared to a regular Stingray) but I hear they are fantastic basses and many prefer them. It however has nothing to do with the "Sterling by Music Man" basses, which are the cheaper asian made licensed versions.

The name originates from Sterling Ball, the son of Ernie Ball. Sterling Ball is the current CEO of Ernie Ball. So he borrowed his name to both this smaller size model as well as the cheaper asian models.

But a real Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling, like in the picture, is a great bass to pick up. A lot of "Sterling by Music Man" basses are too, but they come in so different price ranges that you cant generally compare 200usd basses with 1500usd basses, but they sure have both.

And yeah, like the others mentioned. Music Man is the company that Leo Fender had, it was later bought by Ernie Ball, so thats how it became Ernie Ball Music Man. Then as I described above, Sterling (Ball) was added in to the mix both as a name for a single model as well as the entire asian import bass family

Basses I gig with: Spector NS Pulse II, Spector Euro LT5 and EBMM Stingray Special 5H

Rest of the rig: Quad Cortex, usually running a modeled SVT and a DG cab. Sometimes modeling GK 800RB too.

While I've not been wowed by any AM Pro 2 I've played, but this sounds a bit silly. You buy THE precision bass and then try to make it into a Warwick lol?

Why not just buy a Warwick in the first place. The AM Pro 2 (should) sound like Precision bass, and a precision bass does not sound like a Warwick. SD QPs are probably fine but its also not the P bass sound.

But yeah, kinda confused as to why did you buy a P bass when you didnt want a P bass? The money couldve gotten you a pretty sweet Warwick

But yeah, it's kinda the reason why I have just about every style of bass, but not a Precision lol. I just want it to be a little more, while I can tame some of my basses to just do the usual "just work in the mix" stuff when needed.

Do you know you do this outside recording as well? Im wondering if it could be a latency issue with hardware/software, since you bring up the problem in recording context?

Remember that it's not just about the added 4 low notes (when talking about regular tuning). But for example the low F (first fret of E string) can be pretty far if you are playing around 5th-8th frets otherwise, so you can use the 6th fret of the B string. This is probably the biggest lesson alongside muting: its not just for the low notes, its also for the easier fingerings

Yes and no. There are tones you cant get with fingers and tones you cant get with a pick. But whether that matters to you or your projects is the question. Its better to at least manage with both even if you default to the other
