hey all, a fact tidbit update: bass is 9lbs even. in the case (for shipping) it's 23.2lbs. the pickguard is stock (as is the P placement, though unusual for a Sklar bass). underneath that pickguard, the body has been neatly routed to accomodate a Jazz neck pickup (for a long time I used this...

hey cats. P'ups are in stock position. That's the factory mother of pearl pickguard. Yup, D&G on opposite posts. The strings on their are a set of flats I pulled off a bass that had tuners on both sides of the headstock, so the G wasn't long enough to make it to the G post. I put up with the...

This electric bass is from 1995. Made by Valley Arts Guitar. I am the original owner. It's in very good condition, considering its age. Solid one piece Mahogany body, Birdseye Maple neck, Ebony fingerboard. Some changes from stock - it now has Seymour Duncan Basslines passive precision pickups...

Also, there's several decent enclosure design/speaker modelling programs online now that are free. Here's one page that has a few different ones: Invalid Link Removed There are others as well, just search around. I check an intended design or tuning with a few different programs to see if the...

As a follow up. I swapped out the woofer for the Eminence S2512. It fits the holes, but with a bit of finesse necessary - the holes line up but not perfectly, so you have to just put each screw in a few turns before you tighten any of them down entirely. The S2512 goes significantly louder...

Hey Rumble 100 V3 fans - a mutual fan here. I also use it for jazz guitar, and it's fantastic, by the way! I've played just a couple upright bass gigs with it and it's been great. Another mod to add to the list that helps out.... flared ports are supposed to offer cleaner low end (possibly...
