Noodling with my MXR bass octave deluxe pedal with a little talk about what I usually play when improvising over a minor tonality. I’m playing a Fender Precision 70′s bass with flatwound strings I’m “babysitting” for a friend.
Regarding “fret noise”:
Its the acoustic sound of the bass strings you hear getting picked up by the microphone, im playing with a very low volume on the amp, hence the string noise
theRicketyBones: thanks, soporific. i was just trying to find more info on it (price, reviews, etc.) so i knew how to compare it to other basses/brands.
soporific: @theRicketybones If the headstock says JBP, it's probably a JB Player Artist:-) I found a websitelink, but it's not working.
Mattmatic: Hey Thomas! I just want to say, nice work nice site. Keep it up!
theRicketyBones: Hey, can anyone help me with figuring out what bass i have? i got it used, and its amazing. all the headstock says is 'JBP Artist'. it has gold hardware, j-p pickups and 24 frets. i cant find it anywhere. anyone think they can help help?

What a coincidence! I just ordered a new MXR Octave Pedalyessterday. My old one was, well, just old and the new technology which is designed for bass frequencies unlike my old Boss pedal which was designed with the guitar in mind. I use it all of the time and you can do some rreally cool funk stuff with it. If I can ever get some video time I will submit a clip of my TC rig and new pedal in use. Thanks Thomas.
