here you go! Setting Yourself Up For Success In The Practice Shed (Part 1)

Hey Eric, could you elaborate on the condition? Significant blemishes, fretwear, etc? How is the action on it? Thanks!

hi hd- never having owned any genz benz gear, i was happy to see that emptycup had jumped in with his great insight! if you are able to bypass the front end (input stage, preamp, tone controls) of the genz benz and utilize your ampeg preamp, instead then that is a good place to start...

if you are using your amp in the studio, then you are already utilizing the built-in preamp, unless your output is set to bypass it. a preamp is what gives you specific tone controls that change bass, midrange, treble, etc. sometimes if the bass that you are using is especially heavy in a...

sorry to chime in so late; i am in the process of catching up on all of my correspondence. it has been a really busy year. not too much for me to add, as mr. sensitive has given some great feedback. ultimately you are there to serve the artist/producer, so sometimes you have to follow their...

i have seen this, thanks! got to meet and jam with this little maestro at gerald veasley's bass camp earlier this year, as well. so proud to see him and his band covering this tune! :)

That's a great point, actually. Maybe if we can continue the conversation I will put those thoughts into the mix...

hey guys, thank you SO MUCH for checking out the videos and also for your comments on the bass! that bass is a custom built SR that i had built that is my main bass when i'm doing most other projects. i love the comment "über-refined jazz bass!" that's exactly what i wanted to have. the pickup...

Actually it was a standard scale bass. I love fretless bass just as much as fretted, but I don't get hired to play it as much. I've started to incorporate it more into my compositions lately, though. My next record will feature it more. :)

Hey, and welcome! As hrodbert696 has mentioned already, it's best to start with a budget in mind. There are so many great choices of inexpensive instruments out there now that you will probably want to check out at least a handful that are in your price range. A few companies that have done a...

Like Jbassrockboy said, they are 2 different instruments. The closest I have heard to having a guitar cover the low end register of the bass is from an 8 string guitar. Players like Tosin Abasi and Josh Martin are examples of players that do this. Tosin's band, "Animals as Leaders" doesn't have...

Hey there! I used to have a 6 string fretless and I really liked it. It was not easy to play but like anything else, if you put in the time, you reap the rewards. Personally I don't think it's too much of a jump to make the transition if it's what you want to do. If it is the sound you're...

thanks so much for your interest in the bass! the preamp has been modified with 2 attenuators in the cavity. one controls the level of transparency on the high frequencies and the other is a gain control. also, i believe one of the midrange shelving frequencies might be slightly different, but...

Nice bass! I have a '64 Jazz that is one of my main recording basses. Love it. Can't really comment on LaBella strings since I use D'Addarios, but if you've reached the limit of adjustment for intonation and can't keep it in tune I would try another brand or model string before digging deeper...
