    SD3 Licence Transfer

    An update for anyone who's interested, I actually managed to sell this on Reverb.com (I considered eBay as well but it's punitive enough to sellers as it is, and that's without them having overtly broken the rules regarding software sales!). The customer service team informed me however that...

    SD3 Licence Transfer

    Sadly I haven't posted enough on the site just yet to list anything on the classifieds section DX I guess anyone reading this can let me know if they're interested? Maybe I'll look into posting on Reverb or something, thanks for all your help though!

    SD3 Licence Transfer

    Okay, that interesting to hear - any thoughts about the best way to go about that? I figured just a straight transaction through PayPal Goods and Services would be best, but I imagine some people may not be keen on that.

    SD3 Licence Transfer

    It’s also just way more diverse than I need, and if I could sell it for 10% off retail, I could get GGD and a bunch of other plugins with the money while also saving someone else a buck

    SD3 Licence Transfer

    Hi all I hope this is the right place for this - I was wondering if anyone knows whether it’s possible to sell a Superior Drummer 3 Licence, as I’m looking to downsize to a smaller library like GGD. Cheers!

    Crushing bass tone with guitar amp sim?

    I've recently gotten hold of the Neural DSP Darkglass plugin, and suffice to say I'm pretty damn happy with the result; my Fender GL Jazz bass sounds epic through it. My only issue is that it seems pretty difficult to get much "Grind-y" top end out of it. I've heard people saying on numerous...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Finally actually got around to organising this - to the various people that said that to only swap the low string for a heavier one, fair enough! I swapped it out for a 135 and tried it out in drop C, and it's been great, so I can totally vouch for that. It does look pretty funny though, its a...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Okay, so after a long while thinking about it and putting off forking over the best part of £30 for the strings, I finally went ahead and bought a set of Rotosound Drop Zone 65-130 strings. The next logical step is either having a new nut made, having it altered professionally, or doing it...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Currently it's tuned to E standard with 55-110 (55-70-90-110), which the neck has no problem with and which feels fine to me - I like the feel of the higher tension, and tuning down to D standard would necessitate heavier strings to maintain that feel. I'd guess based on past experience that to...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    I see the idea behind this, but that would mean effectively using a regular bass IV set on the higher strings in D standard, which is going to be much too loose for the feel I'm after. I had a go with the D'addario string gauge calculator and it came up with this, which is essentially the low 4...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Cheers for all the advice :cheers: Having had a look about at individual strings versus a 5 string set for the gauges I'm thinking of it looks like they're relatively close in terms of price, and 5 string sets should be more readily available and overall more convenient. I'm leaning towards...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Cheers for the replies! I'm generally looking to achieve a fairly standard grindy metal tone that melds in nicely with modern mid-focussed metal guitar sounds. The main issue I really have with the bass isn't so much the sound - I've achieved fairly decent high gain sounds with it before in...

    Fender Jazz bass for metal?

    Pretty new here, so excuse my ignorance on anything "obvious" Been looking to record some bass tracks in Drop C, and was wondering what thoughts people had on using a Japanese Geddy Lee Jazz bass with a 34" scale length, as well as any ideas on the best strings to use. Getting a new bass isn't...
