Currently on Rotosounds, ever since I began learning bass (a year ago). Have Elixirs as backups and in case I will have to switch them up - until now, it wasn't needed. Personally, I don't have any problems with them, even if I got them new and I had to get used to playing with them. I...

Began with an electronic organ, continued with synthesizer, had a failed detour at acoustic guitar + ukulele because of my fingers not really getting guitar frets and landing on electric bass at least. Thought it would be easier to play because more space for fingers... and I already had...

The simplest approach is - find some basses you like and then listen to them. If you are learning through an app like Yousician, then it's recommended by the app's maker to have a passive bass. I don't know if I lucked out or not, because my bass works both in active and passive mode...

Time. It's a wonder how a bass can change through time, if you stick with one long enough. With time, if you practice long enough, you get better and the bass sounds better. And the bass also gifts you with several happy surprises on the way. Personally, when I got the bass, the only...

In short: Fussy. In long: Both are (improv) no-nonsense professionals based in Port Richey(?), have exact standards (i.e. oldie music (for seniors)), but... PA system is missing, also missing four sets of music plus front (wo)man and looking to expand. And that's all they wrote. So...

Well, my current bass is the first I owned/ever played. Cort C4H, active/passive, with humbuckers (on my profile pic). Double-cut mahogany body in combination with a wenge neck, topped with standard 24-fret rosewood fingerboard. Don't exactly know the year of it's make. One hell of a bass...

Newly minted bassist here. Or at least bassist-in-training. I have a Cort C4H (heavily guarded on the pic in the icon). Honestly, it was a bit funny how it came that this particular bass found its forever home with me. When I got into my head to learn how to play bass, there was a...

Hello, Recently, I've logged into Yousician, and discovered that my laptop doesn't sense all the tones (tuning goes okay), or it senses them with a lag when listening to me playing, so to speak. (Not connected to anything except to amp). This is getting frustrating because the song...

Hello, everyone. The bass got some adjustment via truss rod - the neck was indeed the problem, so a tech did the correction. Everything else is said to be A-OK, now we just need some more mileage to get things going. Thank you for your help and have a nice time.

@James Collins: Have no idea, since I am a beginner, but they seem so - pics enclosed. The bass was previously in studio use. Pics enclosed. @Blue Talon: 9th and 10th fret down have resonance, a nice sound with sustain. Others... not so much, no resonance, no sound. I am relying on...

Checked. As far as I can see, they are leveled - just got the strings off and checked with an old credit card. The seller sold it in a mint condition. Could it be a battery? considering it's an active bass? So, what next?

Hello, I am currently learning how to fret and I encountered a problem - some of the places on neck sound okay, but most (aside from 9th fret zone) are DEAD. Deader than dead, despite new strings on. The strings are Rotosound RS66LD. There is practically no clean, ringing sound - only...

@Acouistic356: Good for you to lower the costs. What about taking a credit, if you two are financially stable enough to shoulder it? Either for bass or for house, whichever will be better for your finances long-term.

Bass bag, have a furry best friend home (dog). Better safe than sorry.

So, you both got headfirst into your dream purchases, and now it's a question who gets what. I would suggest you two to talk about your finances once again. Your bass was clearly green-lit first, and you two knew the costs from the get go. What confuses me, is that you say she found her...
