    Validated and violated… by my phone!

    Sire Bass Club!

    Just got an M6 5 string, normal... according to the one of the two labels that came with it, they are the Quantum Nickel ones.

    3rd string (A) in my Rickenbacker 4003 has started touching the pickguard.

    Hello all. After... not sure, but more than 15 years of playing it, today for the first time my Rickenbacker 4003 had its A string touch against the pickup cover. The strings are not new, have been there for something like 6 months... It is intonated (fret 0 and fret 12 are both tuned)... can...

    Playing Eb-tuned songs on a 5-string

    Thought this might be fun. Name a player who was equally good on both bass and guitar.

    practice amp...

    Hello, I have a GK 800RB that I use for gigging, for now with a Fender 1X18 box which really houses a Peavey Black Shadow. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/gallien-krueger-official-club-thread-part-ii.444225/post-6725442 (the GK 4x12 cabinet was stolen from the singer's van years ago). I...

    Which bass is this

    Watching Madness play "Our House" in the Young Ones... which bass is this one? Probably a cheap one, due to the end of the scene... I have done a quick internet search, and found even how they recorded the album, but nothing on this bass...
