Got a temp ban on TGP

Yeah, for Motown or Blues. Doesn't work very well in many other genres.

I think Steve Harris/Iron Maiden has been using the P Bass/Flatwound formula since way back. At least part of it has to be the player's physical approach to the instrument. That said, P Bass with flats isn't what I'd reach for when I wanted a piano-like, percussive bass tone.

Flats feel good on your fingers.

As much of a Harris fan as I am, and I am, his tone isn’t something I ever strived to emulate. Geezer Butler favored dead rounds. It’s hard to judge his tone by the same parameters though since all that old sabbath is like a step and a half down.

McCartney used flats on the Ric and the Hofner. Nothing special about his tone either. As is almost always the case the player makes it sound good regardless of the minutae.

It’s also worth mentioning that gear and mixing techniques can overcome the disadvantages of trying to use flat wound strings for heavy music in a live band situation. For most amateur level bands it’s gonna be difficult to sit well in a stage mix using flats and a P bass for let’s say RATM or AIC, Deftones, Chevelle, STP and on and on.

I don’t like P basses mostly because the necks feel like a baseball bat sawed in half longways. There are other basses that can do the P bass thing equally as well as a P bass. Spector NS2 for example. Or even some J basses.

My idea of great tone on a bass is more in line with say Chris Squire, Geddy Lee, Mike Starr, Robert DeLeo, John Paul Jones, etc.

As far as strings go I like brand new Roto 66 on the Ric and D’Addario ELX 190s on the Spector.
 
I just don’t like it when someone wants to “help” me and they come off more like they are trying to blackmail to act a certain way or not be a certain way……. IMO that is not in the spirit of good faith…..




And I get what your saying too and well other real people here for being cool to me, the real homies and the ones that matter.


OK, last post and then I'm off to a nice long relaxing 4th of July weekend at my cabin. Hope you have a good weekend too. But, 'blackmail'? Come on man. You still don't get it. If I was considering buying something from you, like most people, I would do some research. If I found those posts, which were only an example from one day, I'd probably go to someone else. And although I agree with you on the topic of deportation, I don't hate all of the mothers and children especially that are here by association. And it doesn't really matter what subforum it is in. It is still public. Therefore, as a Sales Representative of Providence Cables, I personally would be more careful. That, and it is a bad look for Rig-Talk, IMO, to be associated with someone who seems to not give a shit and was granted access to his own subforum in the Manufacturers section.

Again, good luck Daniel Rios :yes:

If I was selling fuzz faces in the classified sections and said these sound extra good cause they are the same shape as our earth would you be dissuaded from a purchase if the price was good? Would butterscotch discs thrown in with your order sweeten the deal enough to make a sale? :LOL:

Happy 4th. Wish I had me a hillbilly hideaway to go to this weekend.

Right on,


Thanks for the “advice” but I think Im good.

On a side note why do we have all these Members like 311 all of a sudden trying to turn Rig Talk into The Gear Page with Cancel Culture BS you know…….. kind of goes against everything Rig Talk is about and the spirit of the forum.


Keep TGP at TGP and the lame Cancel Culture stuff there too. Lets remember especially with the 4th of July tomorrow……

Does Eric Klein ever show up on here? I think that was probably the best part of TGP/TGF
Yeah doesnt ring a bell…..


But after TGP went all Woke and the forum was destroyed all the cool Members came to Rig-Talk pretty much.
 
Eric is one of the main developers at Line 6, it was really nice always being able to talk about issues or features with him, but luckily he's also on a facebook group too.

Dude are your even capable of understanding basic English ? The guy was trying to help you. Several of us did in the beginning when you got here, it’s just that most of us gave up trying when you just kept on going.

Quote one single part of any of his posts where he’s trying to turn this place into the place you are obsessed with, TGP.

I get what your saying but the thread title is about TGP.....Respectfully I disagree and well I dont appreciate the noise.


Pardon me for pointing out how some members all of a sudden are trying to make Rig-Talk into a TGP of sorts with all Cancel Culture nonsense..... leave that to the Woke or those in Communist China/The Gear Page..... Im not about all that but thats me.....



Rig Talk/Freedom/America..... Baseball and Apple Pie with ice cream...... thats what its all about ^_^

I got permabanned from both TGP and TGF for taking a science based position vs a faith based position on physics, electronics, acoustic theory and objective measurement.

Hahahahah bullshit you were banned at TGF, your account is still active and you have zero deleted posts (they show up with a line through them if you do)

And look at all the science you delivered!

Seems a more accurate depiction of what occurred was you made an ass of yourself inserting things into an argument that weren’t even being discussed and then accused others of moving the goalposts when they addressed your own words and just didn’t come back after getting called out for it.

If claiming you were banned provides you the ability to save face after embarrassing yourself, have at it, I’ll make your delusion a reality!
 
I give up dude. I hope the Boogieman does too.
I mean I get man..... and I appreciate the advice from you and others with good will and good faith.


Call me what you want but I dont come here on the main forum and attack others character for stuff in OTC for the sake of self serving Cancel Culture nonsense......


I get what your saying and others are saying but thats not cool IMO and well at least me I have the dignity not to do that and I can just control what I do..... not going to say thats what your doing but in general I just dont think its cool and well Im not about that.



Having said that nvm the noise...... enjoy the holiday tomorrow and the 4th and God Bless The United States of America ^_^

And? Not that that's science, but what did I get wrong?

OK genius, tell me what "mixing technique" can turn a stage volume of 115db SPL at audience position into 100 dB SPL

I was banned, which you can plainly see. I didn't embarrass myself. I am not the one who denied physics or acoustics

So that this thread doesn't go crazy off topic, and in the chance that I am actually wrong, and somehow a mixing console can turn down the output of a guitar amp its not even connected to, I will happily eat my words and be glad to be educated.

Happy to be proven wrong. I'd rather NOT repeat falsehoods, so please, enlighten us on this mixing technique in this thread: https://www.rig-talk.com/forum/thre...itar-amplifier-using-a-mixing-console.332398/

I helped you with your delusion after someone informed me of your post here. Note the lack of a line through your name in that screenshot above that was taken at 12:30PM today (pre-ban) Note the line through your name in the screenshot below.

You were banned after I made the post, genius.

As for your debate or whatever, I wasn't even part of the original thread, didn't see it until today and have plenty of other things to do than bicker with yet another causality of the self-victimizing bullshit people seem fond of these days.

No one banned you for anything at TheGearForum last February, I banned you today for the self-victimizing shit because it's a scourge on humanity and you're keen to uphold it.
 
Suuuuuuuuuure. So somehow my posting miraculously just stopped months ago when I was in the middle of responding to all sorts of lies about me, but only just now am i actually banned? Sure

Run away

More self-victim bullshit. You truly can't help it.

Look at the date, dipshit. Not that the screenshot above with the date on it and the lack of line through your name wasn't enough proof.

And here's the thread in question- https://thegearforum.com/threads/it-don’t-matter-cause-the-audience-can’t-tell-the-difference.8031/page-9#post-332523

Feel free to point out "all sorts of lies" about you. Or just get a fuckin' life and quit the self-victim shit.
