    How does each band member get paid fairly?

    I don't think the band members' investment in equipment should yield a percentage of pay for gigs. In my experience the best method is to establish a leader of the band with a good mind for business. This will be the guy/girl that books the gigs, is good with finance, and has a plan for various...

    Hearing Loss and Ear Plugs

    Thank you guys for bringing up this topic. I'm in the market for my first set of plugs, and know I want to go the fitted route, but was wondering if there are any plug companies out there that allow a specific range of frequencies to pass through. My bandmates have great fitted plugs with...

    TRADED PRICE LOWERED: Benavente SCD4 Fretless

    Yeah do send some pictures! I made the switch from D'addario Chromes Flatwounds to D'addario Half Wounds a couple of months ago. I can send you close-up pics of fretboard to show that there was no increase in wear when I made the switch if you'd like.

    TRADED PRICE LOWERED: Benavente SCD4 Fretless

    34" scale. Just measured string spacing and it appears to be 20mm. Measured 2.375inches from center of E string to center of G string at the bridge. Divide that by 3 and get .792inches which converts to 20mm.

    TRADED PRICE LOWERED: Benavente SCD4 Fretless

    I also have a maple neck with a birdseye maple fretboard that was the original neck for this bass. The first owner (I am the second) had it built with a birdseye fretboard and did an 'at-home' defretting job on it himself. He then decided to have the pictured neck built fretless with epoxy...

    TRADED PRICE LOWERED: Benavente SCD4 Fretless

    Impregnation stabilizes dimensions, increases strength and resistance to water, moisture, and chemicals, and reduces cracking. I assume the epoxy impregnation also acts as a finish that produces that darker color. In person it's a lot easier to see that natural maple color popping out from...
