newbie -- Bass Tips?

2003-05-26 by binkydogdog

Hi,

Today I bought a VZ-8m, it's great!  I've been playing with it all 
day.  I'm really glad I found this group, the PowerPlay book will 
help a lot.  I don't have a manual.

I'm a bassist, and I use an old Roland GR77B midibass.  It's 
basically a JX8P designed to be run from the 24 pin bass output.  I 
got the VZ so I could have more sounds, and so far I like what I'm 
hearing.

Does anyone have tips on how to optimize the VZ8m for bass?  Some of 
the patches go too low to be usable, even for me (which is *very* 
low, because I run an 18" sub w/ lots of power - I've been standing 
in front of it and some of the low tones make me feel woozy, 
cool!!!).  Also, the 8M lets you pick Keys, Wind, or Guitar as the 
input configuration – for some reason Wind works a little better 
than Guitar for me.  Tracking is not as good as my Roland, but I'm 
sure I can fix that once I learn how to tweak the sensitivity.

Thanks!

Jon
