Hi everyone, Forgive me if this isn't the correct place to post this... Seeing as it is International Women's Day, I was wanting to share a track/video I was blessed to record the bass part on... the 'I AM' project, using my Beloved Fbass BN6 (EMG pups/pre). I haven't anything shared...

Hi guys, I'm asking this as it is a topic that has come up with a fellow bass player friend of mine a couple of times now. What are the risks, if any, of entirely replacing a fingerboard on a an electric bass? This wouldn't be for damage or repair, just simply desiring a different...

Hi mate, I know this is a very old thread, I just wanted to ask how you have been enjoying your JCR bass over the years? I just recently discovered this gentleman and his basses, and have put a deposit on one, so I'm keen to hear opinions from people who own them. It would be great to hear...

Thankyou, and well said. I realise that the position is what matters. Oddly enough, the builder doesn't seem to have drilled the hole yet for either a strap pin, or straplocks. I think I may opt for the rear straplock position that he, and scuzzy recommended, as is on his bass. I was just a bit...

oops.. thankyou for the correction.. just fixed that. Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply! Glad to hear that it balances well. I have emailed the builder to ask where the strap pin is actually located, as I can't see it in the photo's I've seen so far. Is it awkward having the strap pin on the back of the instrument? Your bass looks beautiful by the way! What...

Hi guys, I'm curious if anyone out there with a single-cut bass is able to let me know how they balance, compared to an instrument with a traditional upper 'horn'. I'm guessing that the main factor, single-cut or not, is where the cut meets the neck. I am about to invest in an instrument that...

Hi guys! Just a quick one.. I recently discovered 'JCR' Basses. Visually stunning instruments, great craftsmanship, from what I can see.. Not much online in the way of playing demo's..but there are a few which showcase the instruments tone nicely..sounds great to my ears. I'm just wondering...

Hi everyone! I have a gorgeous F-bass BN6 that I adore..just an amazing bass, and very versatile. (Northern Ash body/3piece Maple neck) I really like a little extra bite and mid in my basses, the preamp on the Fbass is renowned for being clear, clean, and true to the tone the wood is...

I know this is a very old thread, though I saw this post and thought I'd add a perspective. I personally haven't used Dunlops in recent years, I've been hearing only wonderful things. I tried a set back 10 years ago which I didn't enjoy very much, as they were dead out of the box. Can't really...

Just wanted to chime in and say, beautiful F bass :) I might get one of those straps too. I'm looking into Moody leather, but I can't seem to get a reply from them.. Tried the website, and posted an inbox message to them on facebook (to be fair, just yesterday).. nothing yet. The Fbass straps...

Hi guys, I know this is an old thread now.. I just wanted to chime in and say that I hope you guys have also tried the DR Nickel Lo-Riders that seem to be about these days. I much prefer them to the Sunbeam (amazing strings too), as they are hex-core, and they have a beautiful round and warm...

As a fanatic about Bass strings, this thread is good to see :) Some very good points have been made. I think people need to be careful about what a 'factory' string is. They are still a 'brand' name string, that the manufacturer of the instrument has decided to use, because of many reasons...

Hi mate, That's a stunning bass you have there... So bizarre I found your post.. How's this for funny.. I live in Victoria.. Australia. lol And in the morning I'm meant to purchase a used thumb (1990 something) That I found. I am going to have another look at it, I cant decide if I like...

Hi guys, I know this is a very old thread. I hope this goes through to someone. I recently posted on another thread reagarding strings/issues with dull strings. I've tried recently some Nickel Taper Wound Burners, and really liked the feel and tension, though unfortunately the B and E strings...
