Hey guys, How do you go about changing the pickup height on your TC5s? I tried loosening the screws to raise the neck pickup a bit but they were a bit harder to loosen than I'm used to with other basses, and once I loosened the screws a bit it didn't have any effect on the pickups at all.

Hey guys, I noticed after practicing sustained bow tones in thumb position for around 30 minutes today that the fingertips on my index, middle and ring fingers on my left hand were tingly/slightly painful/maybe a bit numb. I'm 75% sure that it's only temporary since it's only in those...

Does anyone know whatever became of the Build Your Own Bass feature that Peavey used to have on their website as recent as a year or two ago? I was meaning to go on there and build myself one when I had the funds and now that I have some cash kicking around I can't find it for the life of me...

I'm surprised noone's mentioned Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton yet

I heard this song on the radio and was really attracted to the motown-style kind of bass playing so I got home and looked the album up on Wikipedia to check the Personnel list. I was scanning the list and I saw Pino Palladino, but I also saw a few other names who had also played bass on some...

Beautiful bass! Does it still get the characteristic "doinky" Ken Smith tone despite having a mahogany core?

Invalid Link Removed has a great tab for Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes from Paul Simon's Graceland album if I recall correctly!

You could also try moving the given notes up or down an octave, for example you could move those two Cs from the 5th fret on the G string to the third fret on the A string. It might sound more interesting with the big leap in there but at this point it seems like its more important that you're...

I was in the mood for messing around and building some basses today but when I got to the model selection page (Invalid Link Removed) I click on the desired number of strings and it brings me to the Peavey homepage. Is anyone else encountering this?

Fat, pudgy P-Bass tone like Donald Duck Dunn or James Jamerson

I've recently been looking at getting myself a good fretless bass, buy since I don't know enough about different woods and things to put the money into a custom bass I figured I'd defer to you guys! Does anyone know of any high-end production fretless basses for around 3,000$? I'd be looking...

I'm having trouble figuring out why people say it's in D Major. I understand that since it starts on D it's said to be in D, but D Major has an F sharp and a C sharp. The F sharp is only used for the arpeggio parts, like the one that ends the song. All of the rest of the Fs are played as...

I'd the say peavey would give you the best bang for your buck. It's considerably cheaper than the other ones and has quality and tone to rival the other two options (in my opinion anyways). Not to mention that it's 100 times sexier than the Ken Smith and the TRB :smug:

What program are you using for all of these transcriptions? They look amazing!

My 2-month old TRB 5PII :) I chose the Bubinga top and I must say that I am not at all disappointed by my choice. Please excuse the shoddy camera work/non-original pictures ;) What number do I get? :hyper:
