Alright! I am talking to a builder in Europe now on the specs, since I can't travel to the US this seems more sensible atm. Will disclose who and what once we have a 'go!'. First time with this builder so it is a bit exciting and seeing if we can get on one page. Some specs still left...

Finding 30" strings for custom tunings is hard enough!! One of my request for builders is if it is possible to build it with a tailpiece that allows for enough length after the bridge to use full length strings.

Thank you all for the input. Some real gorgeous basses also in here, am really digging the Martin Keith models. The sound is amazing. I might still reach out to Martin at some point, because, wow. I was initially looking for something inspired by classic semi-hollow basses in terms of sound and...

Hello friends, Not sure if this is the right forum but we will see. I am looking for a semi-hollow sixer with a 30" scale. The only option for this is either a custom job or a Frankenstein mod that involves custom building. I have been digging through many a thread searching for local...

This recording is beautiful. Instrument sounds great. Jelly of the pick guard:laugh:

Yes, it has been ever so slightly bothering me for a while. I don't find it particularly offensive but I agree that there are much better non-genital(/gendered) expressions.

Reviving this thread! I am using the HD150 head with the original 2x12 cab modded to a 1x12 (w/guitar driver). It is fantastic. I pair it up with a 1x15 combo for the low and clean bass. I play a kind of hybrid "drop tuned bass + baritone guitar" and this amp combination is perfect. It would...

Isn't this easily solved by placing something in the send/return? Been looking at tap-able analog delays to replace my Moog on the road, the DOD kept coming up as an affordable alternative. Stil have to try it. Any other ideas? Tap & modulation & bbd

Bump! What are the actually available options? I have the aforementioned Ibanez AGB as well as a custom short 5er. I actually like the .145 on the Ibanez (I tune to low C), and would love to try this gauge on the other bass -- that only takes short scale strings. Is modifying a long scale...

Hello beautiful bunch, Working musicians in my country are grounded until at least the September 1st! So no work! Are there any techs or diyers in here that feel like chatting about some simple bass-mods and setup? I want to use the downtime maybe try and make my backup bass into something.

+1 on a Squier Jaguar Bass.

Would much appreciate some more audio!:thumbsup:

A little summary of one of the most human things the internet did all year. Maybe interesting to some here. Hope you are all are well!♡

I have seen quite a few Jazz style pups in soap bar size. But I've been wondering what soap bars are supposed bring you into precision territory?

Anybody dropped new pickups in one of the AGB/AFB guitars? I am looking at soap bars for my AGB 205.
