Okay, call me crazy but hear me out. Put the ribbon in front of one speaker of a 2X12 cabinet, put a peice of sonotube (the ...

Is chorus REALLY necessary on the bass? Yes, in this case it absolutely did. Turned out that placing one compressor before the chorus to tame the odd notes and then using kdarr's tactic of matching the threshold to get just the right amount of "pump" which the bass player (me :oops: ) wasn't able t...
