Ontopic String's and Adi's gear & pedal thread

Yeah I know what it does and it’s fun to play with in the bedroom, but is it something you’d use in a bad. They seem to destroy my tone in a mix. Octave pedals too. There cool as heck, I just can’t mix them in very well.

Bootsy Collins, Larry Grahm and countless other bass players use filters all the time.

Cool. I’ll give them a listen. Those are funk players, right. I know Bootsy is. Not sure I’ve listened to Grahm much.

I’ve never been in to funk much, but I need to start cause my band likes funk and R&B

Here's an example of a bass player using a filter in a not really funk way.

It's a Mutron I believe.

In and out, i.e. few seconds here, few seconds there is my theory on them. RIght about when people notice, you should be leaving that tone behind. :lol:
It's a bit much. . . unless maybe you are in a pure stoner jam band. Groce.

I'm also.totally digging my new 316 Bass Guitars fretless. Ebony board. Mahogany body. Hippie slurp exotic neck. Bolt on. Nordstrand MM. 5 way coil selector. Couple pull pots which do mid shift and shit. True telecaster shape. It's the voice I've been looking for all my life, with feel to match.

Course I'm not exactly monogamous with basses. I hope this relationship lasts.
 
I get paid to mofo stomp boogie .
We regularly play Punkys in Lancaster. I'll nod at ya ahead of time next month. It's a shit kicking town. Lotsa country. Lotsa hayseeds.
They think I'm Joe Pesci.
I’d love to come see you play. Hate I missed the last invite.
