I found that a Dan Electro short scale bass neck (30 inch scale) had the same size neck pocket as a strat woul have. I made a bridge plate by bending a piece of sheet metal and mounted a '51 P-Bass pickup Like a tele brdige pic up and a Dan Electro lip stick in the neck. It work out well. Just...

I have posted this before, but thought it fit the thread. My original concept was inspired by a Tele build post by a member, Darkhorse. I was originally going to use a Fender Bronco bass neck on a Tele body, but was concerned about neck dive using that type of body. Then one day, I was looking...

The bass you ordered is the same as the one I bought two years ago. You should not have any issues with the B string. I have found anything over a .130 B is hard to string through the body, it's a really tight fit. I have been stringing mine through the bridge and it works just fine. The B...

That's a good looking bass. How does it feel and sound?

I have been using an Electro-Voice ELP-112P as a bass monitor for a couple of months. I bought the powered cab used for $350 in brand new condition. I got it to use with my Pre-Sonus Studio-Live mixer, but found it was great as a bass cab. I use active basses, either a Peavey Cirrus Five string...

A band called death. Rockumentary and family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic.

Great timing to find this thread. I had problems at a venue I had never set up our equipment at before this weekend. We were getting shocked by the microphones, had buzzing coming from the DI output of my SWR amp, lot's of issues. I read through most of the links and post here. Did a little more...

I could be wrong, but I recall an interview years ago where he stated he was using Marshall tube guitar heads with a custom 4x12 cab for bass.

My guess, take a look at where you are contacting the pick on the string as you pluck. Are you closer to the bridge on the active basses and further away from the bridge on your active basses? I noticed this after years of playing on my 24 fret basses when I started using a 21 fret bass. The...

Nice bass. These are really good playing basses. Do you know the year and country of manufacture?

My first thought was that you were in two totally different situations. In the first, it seems the band was out of ideas and were auditioning you as some sort of muse to stimulate new sounds for them. In the second you were responding to what the other two guys were already doing. Ask me to...

The pre amp by itself was not very impressive to me, but that powered cab was quite a beast when I got mine back in the late 1980's. I quickly replaced the preamp with a GK 250 MB preamp section and used the powered cab. I ended up leaving mine at a rehearsal space and lost it, but that's...

I've been watching this thread since it started and this is what you guys motivated me to do. Not sure if this fits the thread, but I got a lot of inspiration from all of you, so here goes... My original concept was inspired by a Tele build post by a member, Darkhorse. I was originally going...
