    Help with lowering action on cheap bass?

    I cut a shim out of one of those cardboard tabs that comes with clothes, only one piece 1/2 inch was needed, although i might add a bit more at some stage if i need to go lower. My bass also has a 'factory shim', a piece of masking tape under the G-string near the neck end of the neck pocket. I...

    Help with lowering action on cheap bass?

    I set it myself, the bass is second hand and the neck was rather bent when i received it

    Help with lowering action on cheap bass?

    The neck shim really helped, although the action still isn't as low as i'd like, its much more comfortable to play. The strings are set as low as they will go without buzzing on any frets As for lowering action on the nut, I most certainly don't have the tools required to do the job properly...

    Help with lowering action on cheap bass?

    Hey guys and gals, (im a beginner) I would like to find out if there is any way to further lower action on a cheap instrument, rather than the bridge saddles and truss rod adjustment. The saddles are as low as they can go, and the truss rod is set up correctly (i presume), but i still feel like...

    Hurricane Harvey victim

    Well the good thing is you can keep the way the paint job looks. Looks sick imo, however I'm sorry for your bass getting wrecked.

    Thoughts on Aria IGB 68?

    Couldn't find much info on this bass, apparently its not listed on Aria's website under IGB series? Anyone know how thick the neck is or what the switches are? I think the pots are volume treble mid bass, and I reckon one switch is active/passive? What's the other switch? Is it a series/parallel...

    Thoughts on Aria IGB 68?

    I found a guy selling an Aria IGB68 for €350 online, marketed as 'played only several times and put back in it's box ! as a friend sold me his Percision'. Photo above is the only one provided, I did ask for more but no reply yet. Any experiences with this bass/Aria basses? I've heard they're...

    Just one effect... which one?

    Probably my ODB-3. Great tone as clean boost and nice distortion range from light OD to high-gain fuzz-like. Makes my bass sound really bright and punchy.

    LTD B-4E vs G&L Tribute M-2k

    Hello, me again. From your previous help I deducted that for my next bass the M-2k would be a good match. However, I just discovered the B4-E while browsing Thomann. It seems rather similar to the G&L, i.e. 3-Band active EQ, 2x passive humbuckers, flat fretboard radii and most importantly...

    I have no words.

    The real question is who recorded this guy for 9 minutes and then edited and uploaded this video.
