    Double Bass Looking for a new subcompact SUV that fits the Upright.

    They are too big for me I really like the size of the older models.I have a Honda Odyssey for big stuff. Curious, can you fit your DB in the back with the backseat down without it poking through to the front seat seats?

    Double Bass Looking for a new subcompact SUV that fits the Upright.

    Yeah, that’s a red flag on buying anything used. I think if you get a new CVT transmission and take care of it you’re gonna be good Hyundai actually guarantees it for 100,000 miles… literally all the manufacturers have the CVT transmission.… I think Chevy and Mazda have regular transmissions on...

    Double Bass Looking for a new subcompact SUV that fits the Upright.

    The new Outback is a monster. It’s huge. It’s also really up there in price. I think the Crosstrek is more in my price range but still up there.

    Double Bass Looking for a new subcompact SUV that fits the Upright.

    I’m in Oregon and we get some pretty bumpy roads… But I do like the smaller vehicles. My 96 Geo tracker is on his way out. Nissan kicks… Looks like it has the highest clearance. Kia Saltos.… Don’t know much about it ? Hyundai Kona…… ? All of these models have all-wheel-drive available in a...

    Best lightweight five string

    I have the SR 505 that I really like, but I think I’m getting an upgrade and a lighter Bass with the EHB605 picked out the blue one.

    New Bass Day with a twist

    A couple Q’s How do you guys compare the Sire to the Ibanez? And what’s the deal with the multi scale ? Somewhere someone implied that slappers and heavy metal guys like the stiffer B string? My regular fretted Ibanez five string is fine, but I’m just a finger style guy.

    Traveler Bass Guitar ?

    Thank goodness for Amazon… You can try stuff out and return it. I picked up the bat king 5 string base ukulele, and discovered a few things I hadn’t thought of. 1) I wanted a five string predominantly so that I could play around the middle of the fretboard, but discovered that with this...

    Best lightweight five string

    I have the Ibanez 505. It’s not that light but isn’t the 605 the six string version?

    IYV HEADLESS MULTISCALE 5 STRING - FIRST IMPRESSIONS

    So I guess it’s about 8 pounds? Would it be any good as a quick instrument pick up and down when you’re doubling on Guitar or something else? I switch instruments in the middle of songs so I need something lightning fast to pick up and put down. So it plays well without a strap that’s good? How...

    Traveler Bass Guitar ?

    I picked up a Batking 5 string headless . Just thought I’d give it a try. It’s not bad for what I need, which is quick instrument changes.but incredibly awkward to play. For twice the price traveler Guitar has something with a leg rest which is what I need. Have one of these traveler bases or...
