I have those R35 with labela flats it sounds great, my number one for live situations. Cut through the mix like a knife, JMJ sounds so good !

[@KeroDean]

Ive heard good things about the labelas, might try a set on that bass when I get around to changing the strings. The JMJ is so good, I haven't really touch any of my other basses since getting it haha

[@PanoramaUnion]

Love your videos. I have a question. When you recording bass to drum track, what block size do you use? Also, do you use the DAW monitor or direct monitor when recording? Thank you.

[@KeroDean]

Thanks, when you say block size, do you mean buffer size? I usually use 128 samples and yes I have direct monitoring on. When I need more accuracy I have two armed tracks, one with monitoring and one without and record both. That was the track without monitoring will be more in time and I can copy it to the track with the plugins

[@PanoramaUnion]

@@KeroDean Can you explain it a bit more? If both of the tracks are recorded at the same time. How does the track without monitoring have better timing?

Thanks for the demo. I just wanted to ask with the JMJ do you get a volume drop when rolling back the tone let’s say anything below 70% tone?

[@KeroDean]

I just tested, and there's no actual difference in volume at all even at 50% or 0% tone but I guess it could maybe be perceived as lower because its more 'muffled' I guess but no actual volume drop. I recorded a waveform to check and it doesn't get lower volume.

[@thepedalarchive2]

Are these the stock flatwounds that come on the JMJ or a different brand?

[@KeroDean]

Stock ones, I think they're fender flats

[@thepedalarchive2]

@@KeroDean Yeh they come with fenders. Sounds great!

[@Jeremy-fo9it]

Which bass is your favorite? I love the JMJ Mustang!

[@KeroDean]

Absolutely the jmj, I find my self reaching for that one every time. I might as well sell the others haha

[@Jeremy-fo9it]

@@KeroDean haha I keep hearing similar comments about those becoming peoples favorites. Ordered a black one off reverb yesterday so I’m excited for it to come in

[@KeroDean]

@@Jeremy-fo9it awesome, that black one looks super nice, enjoy!
