I am looking to turn an Ibanez 5 string Mikro Bass in to a tenor bass, going from A-F, and am looking for the proper string gauges and the best source for them. I would prefer to get short scale naturally, but cant seem to find them, and would also like to get flatwound, but can live with round...

I just had my friend hold the neck in place at the proper spot and pulling tightly while I screwed the neck on and it does seem to be a bit better now so I guess that is the answer - whew - thanks for the help and suggestions! I have had to do that a bit with other basses, but not as much as I...

yeah I agree, I am still futzing with it but am leaning to going with another bridge

Thanks, that is going to be a last resort for me, if I can't get it to line up properly then I may swap out the bridge for a hipshot or one that is more adjustable instead of going through the hassle you described.

the last bridge didn't seem off center to me, and yes I used the same holes.

thanks, yeah I should have mentioned that I tried that already, but I appreciate the input. the neck is set pretty firmly in the heel pocket and there isn't a lot of wiggle there. What's weird is that the string spacing seemed fine prior to installing the babicz.

I just installed a Babicz bridge on to my bass, and I can see that the string spacing is off, and assume that means that the bridge placement has to be off just a bit because there is not side to side adjustment of the string saddles, so what is the best way to go about doing that? I assume that...

my "modded" rat pedal

it's not a "fine" - that was my playful wording, it is a fee, and yes they do charge it

they are excellent pedals, and the toneprints are first class. At first I was skeptical due to the lack of knobs and size, but with the toneprint option they are great pedals and can compare to any pedals of any size. Most bassists tend to pick one sound per effect pedal on their board anyway...

No it wasn't - they take money away from shipping fees, leaving not enough for shipping, and will also levy a fine in addition to the regular fees if you don't purchase your postage through them. I recently sold an item, and the actual shipping cost was $3.50, and I didn't purchase my postage...

Once you found out that the buyer was well-within his rights why did you feel it necessary or justifiable to withhold his money until the last possible minute, and to block him? You need to rethink your stance, and obligations as a seller, if you want to sell on eBay and not run in to problems...

yeah I realize that, but I have heard them used on basses before, and they give a nice gentle overdrive. Any well-designed effect should work for both bass or guitar

I see that Mosky has a Klon clone in the form of a mini pedal, and it's available on aliexpress for around $15 shipped, and was wondering if anyone here had any experience with this pedal, especially with a bass of course. Golden Horse

I finally got mine, and just tried it out, and WOW this pedal is awesome. It took 19 days to get here from China, and 9 of those days were spent in Chicago. I may order another one
