    Going from five strings back to four

    5er forever. I love drop D just under my finger, so my guitarists.

    Have you ever tallied how many basses you have owned over the years?

    Multi scale/fanned fret - why isn’t everyone doing it?

    When I saw Digwall first time, it was instant love. When I tried it for a first time, it was just one setting which I like. Didn't notice any "must have" tone. It was nice, but for a price, my luthier bass sounds better. PS. What surprised me, that Dingwall JB (2 pickups) sounds (for me) much...

    What is the stupidest thing a band mate has said to you?

    Nothing. Drummer never showed up on a gig and we never heard from him. I know his alive and ok, but he was... BL.

    I think I may be addicted, how many is too many basses?

    I owned 9 basses so far. Currently I have three (one for sale). I just found THE BASS and I don't need other. But I understand everyone, who needs 10, 50 or 100 basses. It's me, who is not rich enough. :)

    Talkbass Basses ...Can "boutique" basses be your daily driver ?

    I play on Witkowski bass (polish luthier). It's about $2000, but I bought it used for $900. It killed my other basses with sound and versatility. And sounds nothing like JB, which is nice. It's fast, brutal and unforgiving mistakes. You can hear every note you play wrong. Love it. Sold my other...

    New Bass Vs. Used Bass - where do you stand & what's your preference? Poll included

    So far I bought 9 basses. 5 of them new (incl. one made for me by luthier), 4 used. Three of them are still with me, 2 used (warmoth fretlees JB, and luthier killer machine [emg pickups]) and 1 new (ibanez, short scale, 5 string - which I'm going to sell).

    What's with Ibby?

    I use two Ibbys, SR2405W (jazz-rock band) and GSRM25 (rock band). Tune below was recorded using short scale.

    Subtle overdrive suggestions

    EXH Hot Wax - hot tubes position is my never-turn-off effect. Cheap and effective.

    Best bass purchase of 2019?

    I've sold one bass and bought another. Maybe it will happen again in 2020.

    The new bass just arrived but... Is this a defect ?

    I bought Sire P7 2nd generation, and the neck was misaligned. B-string was dead, no proper sound, can't tell the height of a note. Returned to shop, got money back, no problem and no bass guitar... Maybe it's a common problem with 5 string Sire? I don't know. Now I'm gathering money for Ibanez...

    Hello everyone! I'm in love with Dingwall SuperJ, but price is so over my head, that I decided to build a replica with help of my friend. And there is first problem, what pickups should I use? Dingwall doesn't sell pickups. Will regular pickup work properly when placed like on image (not...
