    Piano-like clean bass tone

    Oh, and bright marcus miller dunlops strings on order... I love the lack of string noise in half rounds (much preferred on fretless, although Jaco didn't find them needed... wonder if I can EQ the string noise out to a degree?

    Piano-like clean bass tone

    Thanks for your suggestions. I actually find a pretty nice "clean Fender" sound out of the bassman amps (supposedly poor bass amps) although lacking somewhat in low end. Perhaps with some EQ to boost the bottom?

    Piano-like clean bass tone

    I have a Mike Lull bass 5 string which was custom built, and built with the intent of having a very clean, bright tone. It has an alder body and maple top, and maple neck. Bartolini preamp, J-style pickups (Dimarzio I think), a million tone options on the bass itself, which I am keeping flat...

    Favorite drive pedals for bass?

    Where in the chain does the drive lie? Obviously at/near the beginning. Any compression before/after the drive?

    Dual Fx Loops, 1 out, 1 in?

    Have recently gotten an Axe8 to replace my Axe-Fx XL rack mount setup (no more lugging a 4U rack setup - yay!). It's very impressive, and I'm getting more familiar with its many capabilities on my weekly gigs. Would love to have dual amp blocks, though... My present setup is to use Output 1...

    Marshall 1974x 18W

    I'm helping a friend configure his Axe Fx, and he's asking if I can reproduce the Marshall 1974x 18W. He has a boutique clone of that amp which is his main go-to amp live. Any way I can tweak one of the other Marshalls to mimic this sound?

    Any master list of which amps are used by each preset?

    Hi folks - Has anyone created a cross-referenced list of which amp models are used by which presets? So if I want to find all presets which use, say, a super reverb or matchless, I can use them as starting points when developing a preset for a specific amp (same with cabs) I started to work...

    MFC Setup & organization suggestions

    So I'm helping a friend get set up with an XL+ and a MFC 101 Mk III. He's a very good musician but not too tech savvy. He's given me a list of amps & effects he'd like, and its pretty easy to get in the ballpark with some patches. The challenge for me is the MFC config. I'm thinking of giving...

    Cello sound: automate volume swells

    OK all you Axe-Fx gurus: I am trying to create a patch to have a bass guitar imitate a cello, or a bowed double bass. In general, I'm trying to automate volume swells, with control over the volume curve. I've tried doing this manually with an expression pedal controlling the volume, tweaking...

    LCD screen getting faint

    Had an Axe-Fx II with this problem -- faded over 1+ years, eventually got to the point where it was unreadable. Fractal support sold me a replacement LCD, brain dead easy to replace. $40 if I recall. Fixed the problem, although the screen was still a bit dimmer than I would have liked, even...

    Axe-Fx Out to PA XLR: serious noise issues

    Tried different cables, different channels. Alternative I'm forced to do is bass->DI box, rather than bass->AFX->XLR out->PA

    Axe-Fx Out to PA XLR: serious noise issues

    Only the AFX and the Furman in the rack. Though about trying AFX unbalanced out to DI box (haven't tried it yet) but then that means digital->analog->digital. Also wouldn't the Fx out be too hot for a DI box?
