Can't edit my original post for some reason, but this seems solved. Consensus seems to be: 1. Git gud 2. Get a P Bass * Price doesn't matter * Specs don't matter * My connection with the bass matters <- Connection + Skill = Magic * Not an absolute garbage bass, but even...

Well hello! So, from the discussions here, it sounds like just getting a P Bass will be the only gear part of this, which is great because those are plentiful (less so in 5s, but 🤷), cheap, and simple. I want a different five anyways, so now is a good time. My main question for you is...

For sure! I'm taking lessons and practicing diligently. Did not mean to imply that buying anything will improve my bass playing. I'm frustrated with my current 5 string bass and looking to replace it now that I know more about what I want in terms of playing feel. Since I'm doing that anyways...

Yeah, they certainly do sound like their respective models. I swear I hear something slightly different in that postmodern vs his other P basses. Maybe I'm imagining it 🙃.

Hmm... interesting. That would be super convenient. He's got some P-Bass comparison videos, and in every one the other P's don't nail the tone the same as that particular one. I assumed that meant it had something going on. I'm not yet good at identifying stuff like "low mid bump" or "high mid...

I've found my grail bass tone in Obrad Lacarac's Postmodern P Bass. I even like the slap tone from it, despite it being a P. Would love some help figuring out what I need to get close. Some Examples Pick Slap Finger Style For most of the examples, he's playing through a simple chain: > All...

Note sure what your budget is, but Wilde pickups are great at any price, and they’re affordable compared to many boutique options. https://www.wildepickups.com/collections/bass/products/p-46

Lol, are you saying I shouldn’t turn all the knobs to max to get the best toanz? In all seriousness, I’m responsible with my volume and know how to use my D800+ and Subway 115 at bedroom levels. “Overkill” would just be w.r.t. size and weight.

Well, not quite and not necessarily: What I think you meant: A & B & C & D go into DAW What you said was: A & B & C go into DAW, and D Now, we’ve got an order of operations issue with our logical operators and that comma doing some heavy lifting, but ending up ambiguous. There’s multiple...

TL;DR: Radiused ramps don't seem to "even out" finger travel compared to flat (quite the opposite); why do people say it does? I just got my first ramp, and I'm enjoying playing with it. But I was surprised at how "uneven" it feels from string to string. When I was reading about these, I saw...

Thanks for the additional feedback, y'all! Since a few folks have mentioned it, I do know that I don't need to swap the heads. I would only get the D350 as a replacement for the D800+ because it's 3lb lighter, half the size, and fanless. I'll probably start by just picking up a used 112 in a...

Based on the feedback I'm seeing so far, adding a 112 would cover all my needs if carrying it one-handed ends up feeling reasonable. Three possible loadouts: * Head w/ 112 * Head w/ 115 * Head w/ 112 & 115 It also seems like moving from the D800+ to the D350 would be more than enough for me. I...

I’d really prefer something that meshes with the 115. The fewer things I can own, the better and having 3 options from two cabs feels like a win.

How ergonomic is carrying the 112 in one hand? Being narrower in that one dimensions seems like it might make a big difference compared to the 115.

Weight is less of an issue than ergonomics. I’m plenty strong, as lifting has been a hobby for me far longer than bass. The 115 is just such a big cube that one-hand carry is awkward. A dolly, as others recommended would work, but doesn’t help with stuff like stairs.
