Bass players are obsolete. And if you can program drum machines, so are drummers. IMO. :D

You can get good bass tones from bass machines (and organ bass pedals; I have two digital Hammond organs, a Crumar Hammond clone, and a digital pipe organ, and they all have bass pedals; Hammonds have 25-note, the pipe organ has 30, but should have 32-note)

The ADA preamps all had factory presets, as did the MQ-1 (graphic equalizer). It was a pain in the ass to create your own presets from scratch, very tedious...what I did was find factory presets I liked, copy them to blank slots and tweak them from there. The MP-2 was even more tedious, it added a post-eq section to each preset, I think it was a 5-band eq.

That organ's pretty impressive even tho I don't know jackshit about them.

ADA had a separate equalizer as well? Wtf.. I've lived in a cave as I thought the MP-1 was their only product.

I can't afford to use anything but freeware for bass, as I have retired playing the downsy guitar in public.


I used to play in bands though, and I didn't even buy my own gear because who cares you're the bass player lol

Sometimes I wonder if I've should picked up bass instead of guitar as well, life would be so much easier.

This is kind of similar to that thought that every dude has at one point in their life "wouldn't it be easier if I was gay?"

I mean, yeah, it would be, but it comes with it's own problems as far as i understand it :ROFLMAO:

I'm just kidding bass players, yall are the mvps .... when you don't overplay

The feeling when I instantly understood the gay analogy.

Carrying the title of a bass player is a hard road to travel for sure.

I have the Alpha/Omega bass head. Super badass stuff.
I love it. Gots me two Mesa bass cabs, 1x15 and a 4x10.
Even scored a vintage Hamer Blitz bass (explorer) to go with it.
I also technically own two Acme B4 cabs. Long story....

Hopefully someone discovers something about his gear and tells us how everything we know right now is complete bs. The storm man, the storm..

Man bass guitars were actually cool back in the 80's..

They don't make them like they used to.. I mean both bass guitars and players.
