I’m thinking of converting my EADG Ibanez soundgear to BEAD. Would 5 string pickups be a better choice for playing in this tuning? thanks

Thanks for everyone's thoughts!!

Well that's what I thought. And now I see the seller has another very similar for sale. But will not tell me anything about how they got hold of them or who made them. So maybe cheap chinese manfufactured? With the pickups hidden out of sight.

Oh yeh, I just thought with the 2 octaves and the cutaway maybe for a jazz player?

Cool thanks! Sounds great.

Custom Handmade Single Cut 5 String Fretless Bass Guitar | eBay Looks nice, neck thru body. Anyone have any idea who might have built this or home project? Also what style of playing do you think it is for? Maybe jazz with 24 frets?

Hi guys, something I've been thinking about for a while I wanted to run by you. I'm looking at chambered / semi-acoustic basses as a way to get a deeper more woody tone. I'm all about the sub-bass from the bridge pickup 95% of the time. As I understand things, pickups pick up the vibration...

Hello all, I come from a dubstep / drum'n'bass background, I'm not a keyboard player and am constantly on the hunt to get interesting dance music grade synth bass tones out of my bass guitar. I've having good success so far with My OC2, Stomplab 2b and wah and fuzz pedals, I've also had my eye...

oh snap did I post in the wrong section? I will try to move.

Kiesel Vader VB4 looks awesome but a bit out of my price bracket. Getting a shop to convert an Ibanez Mikro would probably work out much cheaper.

Hello all... I'm interested in a short scale bass for playing reggae and dance music. I'm also interested in headless basses for the reduced weight and size, easier balance, less neck dive etc. Now I'm wondering, correct me if I'm wrong, why are there no headless short-scale basses currently...

Thanks so much for posting this one! Just adjusted truss rod and saddle intonation...amazing how far out the strings were in the middle of the neck when fretted high and low...already sounding and feeling better!

Cool, what kind of music do you play?

thanks so much for the further replies. This has sated my curiosity on this topic for now. I'm still fairly early in my bass guitar journey so will continue learning the ropes on my EADG four string before I modify it or spend money on more instruments. There are so many more playing techniques...
