A classic! One of the best combo amps ever made for sale by original owner. The SWR Redhead was a landmark product that was made for 5 and 6 string basses, handling the demands of the low B string and having upper frequency transparency for the upper octaves. Built in horn with attenuator...

I have ordered and own 3 MTD basses that all were acquired between 1997 and 2012. My first two were a 5-string standard MTD 5 string lined fretless, and the other was a 5-string semi-hollow body fretless neck-through with piezo electric pickups in the bridge. built from a prototype that Mike...

Thanks so much for your response. It mirrors what the guitar tech who suggested this set up told me. Each pot has its own tone control and separate resistor, thus providing a wider range of tones. He also suggested a volume bleed so that even at low volume settings on each pickup, the tone can...

A very basic question about topology for my Fender P-bass with a mod of a bridge J-bass pickup. When I first installed this J-bass pick up back in the 80s, the tech added a switch to toggle between the J bass pick, the P-bass pickup or both pick-tups combined, with 3 pots, one for volume for...

John … I believe that they are. Jason at Bass Strings Online set me up with the TI Phosphorbronze round wound on nylon core strings in individual gauges of .035, .041, .053, and a folk nylon ball-end string in a .0032 gauge for the G string. I'm using them on a Breedlove Atlas acoustic bass that...

I had a chance to see the Yellowjackets last night at The Blue Note in NYC with Dane Alderson on bass. I've been a big fan of Jimmy Haslip for many years, and very familiar with his nuances playing the 'Jackets book. Dane Alderson tore it up last night, with a style that was remarkably similar...

Are you suggesting that the Thomastik-Infeld Acousticcores in these gauges can be strung as a piccolo tuning? Which string gauge would be the plain steel string? Yes, LaBella did make the set ABN70BB which I'm told was a steel or brass on nylon filament piccolo bass set … I spoke with them...

Thanks for the info. While I'm under the assumption he is using nylon filament piccolo strings, I am unable to find anyone who makes these.

I've seen the Acousticores, but they are not made for piccolo tuning, albeit they are the only nylon filament strings I've seen for the electric bass. Brian Bromberg has a promotional video for his Jobim CD that references new nylon piccolo bass stings that he sourced from LaBella, but a call to...

I've been listening to Brian Bromberg for years, and on several of his CDs, he is using a nylon string piccolo bass. Note that these are not black tape wound stings, but steel / nickel wrapped around a nylon filament. At one point, LaBella used to make a set of nylon piccolo bass strings...
