Nice gear though!

Very cool..
Is this V amp good?

I will post my gear very soon... In fact I can't remember if i have a pic of it LOL

But I will take one \o

Look,

Tho overdrive work incredibly well on my bass and amp, It sounds heavy and strong. To get you an idea the overdrive one sounds like the "Muse" effect (I'm pretty sure you have listened to them somewhere, an example of how it sounds is the song "hysteria", that pedal sounds like that). The problem with that pedal is that it doesn't sound too good on the higher notes. from the 12th fret to the 21th.

I don't like to use it to play "anesthesia" for example. or for solos, it's kinda "betraying" at times. and that's beacause it was designed for BASS (and keyboard).

~

The v-amp. I think it's my favorite of them. It has 99 presets. Delay, reverb, flangers...distortion. The ones I use the most are the delay and the distortion effects. Somehow is easier to make artificial harmonics than the other pedal. It screams with the distortion, it's pretty much FUN. I fucking love that pedal xD

THE PROBLEM. It's not good to play clean Bass parts with it. The low some of the low frecuencies "get lost", and the higher ones are more noticeable. From the 12th fret it almost sounds like a guitar (clean), perfect...but 3rd ot 5th notes sound a litlle bit "weak". When I play Holy Wars, I unplug the pedal and play straight from the amp.



The other problem with these effects is that your amp must have the power and the size to hold them.

When I play I don't turn the volume more than the 25%. I should have a amp with at least a power of 50 to be comfortable with myself
(the power of my amp is 30.). with a power of 100 it's more than perfect.

(I don't know how are the power thinghies in other countries, I can explain it, but not in english, sorry :b)
cooool!..

This pedal could be named 'little purple devil" ! hahaha

Try to boost a little bit your gain and you will see how great it can be! Otherwise..is your bass 'in shape'? I mean. well regulated .. you know?

I use a Meteoro bass amp.. Its power range is like 200W very good sound, a 15'' sized speaker and a horn these two can make a lot of punch and harmonics you know?!
take a look:

Spoiler: click to toggle


and I have a BOSS P-10 V wah.. very great wah, because it also has a distortion/fuzz.. It is perfect to play For Whom the Bell Tolls and some solos...(Cliff 's you know..)
this one:

Spoiler: click to toggle


Aaaaaaand i still have my little 'dirty' secret.. hahaha My Hartke VXL Bass Attack Pre-Amp. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAn I gotta tell ya. Very very good sound! You have no Idea!
Take a look.
Spoiler: click to toggle


I like Newsted 's sound a lot.. and this is the way I found to get very close to it..
We (my band, Garage Inc.) have a rehearsal recording.. I will post it here to you hear.... I Think the best one to you hear me is ORION.. :horns2

It's good! I mean the "purple devil" :lol: I should learn some Muse songs. The thing with my pedal is...they are good for being SO CHEAP xD
I see you go for serious stuff, So I recomend you to buy real pedals xD

Last time my bass was in good shape was almost one year ago. you know', I haven't played with a band since a loong time, so, my Bass has been a little bit neglected. :c

200w?? Nah, It can handle anything like a Boss :lol:

DAT WAH. I wish I had a Wah so I could play some weird shit or learn some "the mars volta" songs xD

Nice, It's good to have a pre amp (I dun have one neither, I'm too amateur xD). One of the best things I have worked is with a mesa, I don't remember the name of it, neither I remember the name of the amp I got plug in the gig. What I do remember is that the amp was way taller than me <3.

You know the Orion solo? NICE. I can play the solo, but it turns out pretty lame always :lol: and my bass doesn't have 24 frets, so I try to make A.H, to deal with it -______-

if you upload you Orion cover, write to me ;D

Conclusion: I want to have your GEAR!!!

:heart: :heart: :heart: :heart: :heart:

Listened it, great cover. I love the guitars <3 The sound of the snare drun is raw, I think it's pretty fitting somehow.

This songs sound a little different played with a pick! I actually can hear a lot more the notes in the backgorund.
But, you don't use effects in the bass solo? how many frets does your bass have? In the beggining of the solo I tried to make it sound with a higher pitch, artificial armonics. I kinda missed that.
But the song was well played. I love how I can hear you in the last part. pretty strong.

also(5:58, that part kills me, I'm trying to figure how can I play it .____.) advice?? .____.

What did you use to record it?

nice cover, too bad I don't live in Brazil :v

It's not an instrument per se, but I'm so happy about it I just HAVE to share it with the world!! :D

I'v increased my vocal range again!

I'm now officially known as Lyric soprano, and my range goes from F3 up to B5. I AM FRICKINGLY HAPPY !!!!!! :nanner:

One year ago, my range was G3 - E5.... heh, Can I say that I'm happy AGAIN!!! lol :dance
Sounds great!
How do they measure this vocal range? I'm figuring I must have a limited range.
here's a representation of the different ranges on a piano. Middle C is C4. Your vocal range is what you can sing comfortably. SO neither croaking nor wheezing count! :lol:

:blush: I just realized that not everyone knows how a piano works, so for the local guitarists....

If you take a standard tuning, F3 is the first F on the first fret on the low E string.

B5 is on the seventh fret on the high E string.

thaaanks a lot!!!
we worked a lot on guitar sounds! about the snare the drummer is always doing somenthing to get this kinda sound.

for sure, I play it with pick. Dunno why... but the next i will play like Cliff \o

I used effect in the bass solo,, but it was tooo fucking loud and they had to use a filter... that's why it sound a little bit weak . like u said.

I have a fuzz with plus boost on solos..

thaanks agaaain! I love to share this informations with ya! You know what you're talking about :horns2

Well, do u have the Orion bass track? Thats how I learn all songs.. I had to listen it a LOT and then i tryied to play.. We are playin it so much better now..
We used Protools to record( same metallica sofware to record songs) It's pretty good you know?!

Too bad you dont live in Brazil Arch because we will play in July 21th.. \o

I will make some videos and post 'em here \o

Hey.. do u like Of Wolf and Man? We recorded it last month, when we decide to play it =]
