It’s back from the dead! The TB Mega Thread.

[Gearmond]

never actually took the time to listen to Nuclear Rabbit and i'd have to say that y'all is one of 4 bands i'd actually consider "primus" genre wise. the others being Primus (durr), Something Involving a Monkey (sorta), and Dureforsog.

i actually started on 5 strings and i wanna go back, but get a high c instead of a low b.

[My name is Mudd]

Good to see you here, dude!

And this right here...

...honestly, I'm not into bass music AT ALL...

...is my new sig, since it's too good to pass by.

[Mudfuzz]

you guys are making me blush.

mudfuzz - namm kind of sucks for trying to get a good sound... especially at a bass speaker booth, where the namm sound police are stopping by every 5 minutes because another endorser was playing way too loud (and bragging about it on his twitter) and your turn comes up and the owner of the company is all paranoid that his booth is going to get shutdown and asks you to play for a very short amount of time at a volume that someone watching could snap their fingers and it would have more "bass" (no, I'm not bitter). youtube "flip the switch eos" which has a ring mod and formant filter or "nuclear rabbit samurai robotics" which is a thick fuzz. over the years, I've use flangers, phasers, distortion/fuzz, delay, octavers, etc. on various recordings. the solo bass cd has mostly delay and reverb for effects but there is some reverse delay. does the studio version of that song sound "chirpy" to you? as far as the erb scene - honestly, I'm not into bass music AT ALL (no matter the number of strings) so I don't even pay attention to what my contemporaries are doing, hope that doesn't sound like I'm jerk - I just don't get into it I mainly do it because maintaining a band most of the time sucks and provides a good challenge for me to try and write interesting music by myself and if other people like it =

I went back, not the studio version is a lot better [ ] what I list as "chirpy" is what most would call hi-fi and I just hear it on so many touch and ERB recordings/demos/whatnot that after a while it starts to get to me... I can say [and do] about a lot of acoustic music... that's all really... Hey, I'm a picky fuck what can I say? But I do genuinely like what you are doing.

And I guess I'm with you on "bass music" since it has become a style now I guess... My question though is what makes bass music bass music? When does it stop or start? Going by what a lot of peeps would list as it I could say it is the same thing as solo guitar music played on a bass really, other then range I have never seen that much difference on the other hand I have a project that is solo bass and is noise music, is that bass music? Is that even music?

[behndy]

yes. yes it is.

[Mudfuzz]

yes. yes it is.

Hmmm... On one hand I want to agree with you, one the other I miss when noise was noise and was offensive On the other I love that doing what interests me WAYYYYY more then it should is more excepted now.

[warwick.hoy]

Muddy,....I think you'll find the Phil Jones Bass just has that "hi-fi" toanz and a lot of how they sound is dependent upon where the are placed in the room.

I've always been interested in checking out one of PJB's super small rigs for a big sounding/low volume at home practice amp but the cost hardly justifies it and I have no idea how these things sound with effects.

[behndy]

lulz. Jamez, Erukus.... y'all some silly trolling motherfuckers.

POTATO PONG.

[Fuzzy Fred]

You guys troll talk bass so much... it makes me smile

[behndy]

oh yah! for SURE. i'm tottttttttttttalllly not complaining. it makes me laugh 'cause some people are like, "fuck yeah! SHOVE A PING PONG UP THE ASSES!!! YEAAHHHHH!!!".

then there's somebody that's just "i don't.... what...... why..... i don't get it..... ping.... PONG? WUT.".

peoples that get angry are the bestest though.

Someone had an 8x4 setup at a Colorado gtg a few years back. Sounded really damn good. Very modern, but still really really good.

[behndy]

jia. i playes through Le Jean's pair of PBJsammiches for a bit at the last Oaklandish GTG, sounded niiiice. seemed to handle effects just fine.

Tooooooo many knobz.

And it's got a master volume.

Basically, that's almost as lame as a clean blend.

Excuse me, I need to go back when I was an evil gleam in my father's eye.

Phil Jones cabs are awesome because they don't have tweeters. We have one at the shop (a 9x5" WTF?!) and it sounds great. Aggressive as fuck but also stupid heavy. Front heavy even, so when I tilted it forward once to read the label on the back it almost fell, and I nearly Newstead'd myself trying to keep it from doing a faceplant. I've had it on sale on TalkButt for like 7 months now, nobody is willing to ship it because that shit is dumb. It has the coolest casters ever, I believe you could load a Boeing 747 on top and it wouldn't mind.

I know nothing of their heads. If he actually built the 1,000 watt tube head I would lust for one. Scratch that, I lust for the PJB 1,000 tube head. Even if to get it into distortion would require playing a stadium without PA support. Hmm. I suppose I lust for that as well.

[Joe Gress]

Lol warickywicky is apparently and idiot troll now.

If the goal is to finish your beer, couldn't your one teammate just take a long time finding the ball on purpose so the other player could chug the beer?

Oh, wow, i'm dumb. I'm gonna go back and edit that....the OFFENSIVE team is the one that drinks.

Makes way more sense now. That sounds like an awesome game. Might have to try that on Saturday
