Congrats! I don't know if that is a good weight for a 6 string but since you are happy about it I assume it is. My 1st 6 string was an Ibanez SR656 and it is really light and it is a forever bass because of that. It also sounds and feels great. I have no idea what the weight is but it is very...

Oh man! Reading these replies is getting me more excited than ever! I got my tracking info this morning and can't wait! I have been messing around with my synth chain (DubT->Oxide->XergraphDLX->Polytope->Nimbus) a lot this week and it already sounds so damn good. I wonder what the SubT will...

Woohoo! Got me one of those Subterranea's I can't wait to see the difference with the Dubterranea, if any. I have read many reports on here saying there is but I will see for myself. My assumption is there will be minimal difference in sound but maybe a difference in feel? I am happy with my...

That may be the best thing I have read this year. I love my Dubterranea and consider myself very lucky to have one but the people who own both still say there is a special something to the SubT. I have been dying to find out myself. The last Iron Ether pedal on my "must haves" list. I thought...

Thank you for that. Very helpful. I just bought a bass with this and had no clue what was happening.

I can say that my north coil single coil setting on my passive short scale Stingray is my favourite and most used setting. I have considered setting up a neck pickup with that configuration if I ever get around to putting one in my Stingray. Although for me it would be about having the two...

I don't know if there is any actual meaningful tone difference in maple vs. rosewood boards but in these situations I like to counteract what is happening. For example I use Nickel strings on brighter basses and steels on darker basses in general. (Although truth be told these days I am putting...

I have planned on doing something like this for years. My simple idea was to simply use a reverse P with E+A in their proper position and there would be no overlap or problems at all. Yeah I know it isn't "proper" P bass but I think it is a better idea than moving the Stingray pickup because...

I would have to say I liked the Sadowsky best. Has a a really nice deep bass tone. I have been moving more towards that type of tone in recent years, first realizing a Jazz neck can be bassier than a P bass and my recent acquisition of a Paranormal Rascal bass with a neck pickup at the neck has...

I had heard reviews about these being heavy and didn't get one because of that. I really wanted a bass, preferably short scale with a neck humbucker so this bass had been screaming at me to buy or at least try it. I finally got one last week and am way way way happier than I expected to be. I...

Whenever I am looking for a different type of classic pickup my first thought is to always check if Curtis Novak makes one. Once again he does not disappoint. https://www.curtisnovak.com/shop/eb-bridge/ Disclaimer: I have never used any of his pickups but have read nothing but very good...

For me it is often ease of delivery (aka free) and there are often just not enough places in Canada that sell what I want. I tried to use L&M once to order in a pack of strings, just a simple pack of DR Sunbeams and it literally took three months to get the strings in. I am sure that was a fluke...

Total zombie thread revival here... But it is really nice to see I am not alone with liking and using lighter gauge strings for lower tuning. I have found using 105-45's for DGCF or CGCF almost perfect. I even used that gauge for CGCF on my short scale Stingray and it worked amazing and way...

That is why I have what I call "short scale songs" ;) Basically if I need to play OFPF down low on the neck, or if they are really busy and fatigue my left hand, I am just simply not using my long scale basses. I wish you luck on this quest. 4 strings are still home for me but I love my 6...

This is the reason I transitioned back to 34" basses after switching to short scale. Not just 6 string but fretless as well is hard to find short scale and affordable. I suppose the market just isn't there.
