Anyone got any roadworn poly finished basses? It’s probably gotta take 20 times longer to show any sign of wear on a poly than on a nitro, and I’m wondering if anyone’s managed to show much of any sort of sign of age. I’ve had my A.S. Fender Jazz for over 4 years and have played 3+ hours minimum...

Well, two months later I’ve bought into popular opinion and got myself a pedal. I found one on sale on amazon for $20 and clicked buy. Now that I have one I see the use behind it a lot clearer than when I didn’t. My tuner app worked great, but whenever I had practice around any of my other band...

Yeah, right now I’m only gathering info on how much the squier would cost fully modified over the fender untouched. I don’t see a purpose on buying a squier, spending over $400 on mods over the years, only to end up having a cheap feeling Bass since it’s still a squier compared to the Fender...

So I recently learnt of the Bass VI and am honestly really impressed. Many of you purists would argue that it isn’t a real bass and I don’t need the extra 2 strings, but honestly I really want one because it is perfect for grunge which I tend to play a lot, and I also solo quite a bit (off a...

Never expected this much of a response lol. I do agree that you can't stop playing in the middle of a gig to just tune, and that my phone does in fact cost ten times the amount a tuner costs, but to be fair my phone can do a bit more than a tuner pedal can. I'm still not particularly motivated...

Like honestly, $75 for a tuner? I've got a free app on my phone that works 90% of the time. I get it works as a killswitch and all, but why $75?

A bigger factor that is often overlooked is the pickups (most of his classic work was recorded with a P bass or bass with a P bass pickup), played fingerstyle OVER THE FRETBOARD, where it meets the body. I definitely play over the fretboard, and it helps quite a bit. I definitely want a Pbass...

I want to get Geezer Butler Distortionesk tone, but I don't want to break my amp to get it. Geezer said he had a 4x12 amp with 3 speaker and two of them were wrecked, so any clue on a pedal that'll do that? I was thinking bass big muff pi, but I don't think it's enough since it's just a fuzz. I...

Planning on buying new cables, want top of the line quality cause I keep breaking all my others, and I get a lot of buzzing from them. I need a 20+ ft, a few patch cables, and a 5-10ft to plug into my amp. Any suggestions? I've heard a lot about mogami, but Ernie ball has nice looking white...

So I recently got $700 saved up from my birthday and work, and have decided to treat myself. I'm wondering what I should buy with it all. I'm not new to bass, and I don't need any beginner gear. I've got a Fender American standard Jazz Bass, a Gibson T-bird, a U-Bass, an ampeg portaflex 500 watt...

I think the electrical issues are coming from the room that I'm using my amp in. I recently moved to South Africa with my parents because of their job, and it'd be an understatement to say that there are electrical issues. I don't think that anything in my house is grounded at all, let alone...

Word of warning to you all, watch out when you're using a 110v and a 220v amp. I'm an American, and all US electricity runs off of 110 volts. I recently moved to South Africa, where electricity is 220 volts. The amp I was using at the time is 110 volts only, so I bought a transformer to change...

I get a lot of buzzing going through my amp all the time, and I think it's a grounding problem. One way I can tell is that if I have my shoes off and I touch my bass, it'll zap me. I've read up a bunch on direct input boxes, and I think it may fix the issue, I just want to check with you guys...

So my band's beginning to become a lot more acoustic and I've been struggling to be heard. Right now I'm using a Kala U-Bass and I honestly can't even hear myself when everyone else chips in. I like the U-Bass for traveling and practice, but it honestly can't stand up against everyone else. I...

I'm thinking about dedicating one of my basses to become my "training bass" so I can gain finger strength and such. I want to raise the action, switch into heavy gauge roundwound strings, and do everything else to make it as difficult as possible to play. What would you guys think the most...
