I'm looking at maybe purchasing a 5-string here before too long, and in my mind a slightly altered tuning makes sense to me. I had a 5-string a while back, and I never really played anything lower than a D (3rd fret B string), and (most likely because it was a cheapo bass) I didn't really care...

I hadn't checked out the MiteyMite necks before, that's a pretty good price difference, compared to the Warmoth necks. I'm thinking this might just be what I want to do. How is the sound, any way you could describe it? Thanks so much!

I'm looking at perhaps trying to mount a fretless neck onto my Squier Classic Vibe '51 Precision (this bass here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]). If anyone knows of any serious reason not to do this, please feel free to let me know. But, provided there's no real problem (meaning not...

If you PM me, I know how to reply to them, I'm just not sure how to send them initially. Thanks!

I would do it for $500, that's all I have until the 16th. I wasn't sure how to PM you about it, so I just replied. I don't know the ins and outs of TB all too well... But I'd be very interested at $500.

Finest bass I've ever owned, my Ray. Can't find another bass I feel so at home on, even much pricier basses. The one exception I've found is the Ernie Ball Music Man Classic Stingray, I believe it's called. $1974, though. Probably never happening... So glad my Ray34 is fixed! Had me very...

Solved! Yes, I tried many different cables, a couple basses, and another 2 amps other than the Genz. Turns out my dad and brother and I were looking harder than needed. Dad found that one of the wires connecting to the little battery hat, as I call it (the black plastic thing that clips on the...

Nope. Swapped cables during the performance, and tried with my amp and cables at home and had the same issue. Any other ideas?

Recently my active Ray34's output became VERY low for some reason. I rehearsed with the school band moments before our performance in the University of Portland Jazz Festival, and everything was normal. Once on stage, I had to crank the 600 watt Genz Benz stack provided up to 10 just to be heard...

Thanks a lot! I've never been particularly good at understanding those types of technical specifics and whatnot, so that helps! Does the speaker configuration have much to do with cutting through everyone else playing, as far as 210 vs. 410 goes? It's not that I want to be heard OVER everyone...

How does that work? It seems like a 410 would be basically the same as a 210, but... since the general American attitude is "bigger is better," I tend to think the 410 would be better somehow? Is this just because the BRX series cabs are batter than the BR series? Thanks!

I've had fairly good experience with even lower-grade basses from Rondo, and I didn't mean the Brice would be a dream come true right out of the box, no issues. I just don't like the idea of spending $1000+ on a 6 string, or any bass right now. I work in a daycare for minimum wage. I need to...

The amp at church is an old SWR combo, a 200W 1x15. Not sure the model... "Working Man," maybe? It's not been taken care of real well, and the sound is just awful. The EQ barely does anything anymore, and I have to put the gain at about 10 o'clock and the volume up to 10 just to be heard. It...

Thanks for all the quick responses! Obviously general consensus is that the amp is the way to go, which is what I was leaning more towards. With the bass, I know Rondo basses tend to give a lot of bang for the buck, so I figured a Rondo in the $500 range would be equivalent to a slightly more...

The BR410-4. I know there's some "Professional Series" cabs available, but... I'm hoping not to pay that much more, if they aren't EXCEPTIONALLY better than the regular ones. I work 5-9 hours each week in a day care for minimum wage, so I don't have a ton of money to work with. I'm 17, so...
