    MTD Kingston Super 5 grind/ growl

    So I am interested in getting that grind sound. Not sure how else to describe it. But it’s a deep growl that I’ve only heard a few times. On Scotts bass lessons there is a video of him playing several basses. When he played the MTD Super 5, I heard that tone I have been looking for. My...

    How do I know when to stop sanding?

    That really happens when I started sanding bodies full time, I was constantly sanding through my fingertips. My hands were so sensitive to hot water. I couldn’t do dishes. Guess that was a perk.

    How do I know when to stop sanding?

    Just a couple things not mentioned. Do not sand the treble side of the neck pocket without knowing the exact dimensions of the neck. This area is critically to the fit of the neck pocket and can be compromised easily. If it has scratches when you get it or when moving to the next grit, you...

    I’ve searched and can’t find plans or reviews for this Greenboy model. Does anyone have a link to plans or experience with this cab. Thanks

    DIY Bas cab with built in sub.

    I have the tone I’m looking for. I’m thankful for the advice. I am only interested in filling the shows that don’t have proper PA support. I dig the 15/15/6/6 idea. Maybe two 15/6 cabs would be more versatile. Thanks again for the advice.

    DIY Bas cab with built in sub.

    Thanks for the responses. I like the fearful cabs. However I have a tone that I like with just about everything cut above 800hz. Are the added mid and High driver necessary below 800. I thought a single 15 would be sufficient in my case. As I said the set up would not be used with PA...

    DIY Bas cab with built in sub.

    So a single 15. And then a separate sub. What size sub would give me dub style bass. I would like something smaller then an 18 but I still want the sub to fill the room (small venues some outdoors).

    DIY Bas cab with built in sub.

    I am curious if anyone has built or used a bass cab with a built in sub. My vision was to build a custom cab with a 15 and a sub ( have not considered size yet). I would add a crossover so the 15 would not have to handle the lower frequencies. My reasoning is I play reggae/dub. So for...

    How much of a difference does a higher watt amp make?

    I bought an Acoustic B200 (thats the make and model, not an amp for acoustic instruments) for $100 and that thing cranks and has good tone. It’s plenty for playing with a band and it’s great for home practice.

    Guitar Center Struggling

    I tell you right now GC is struggling (in my opinion) because they do not treat there customs right. I just bought a pedal, some Chromes, and an SR505 online. I bought a new bass not a floor model. When I received it at my door two weeks ago the box was smashed open and I could see the...

    Sanding a body right out of CNC

    Also if you sand too much on the body the pickup and neck pockets will be shallow so keep an eye on the desired neck pocket depth as you sand.

    Sanding a body right out of CNC

    So the small checks, flecks, or cracks are an issue if they’re cracked and you can flex the crack with hand pressure. If so you can take your wood glue and dilute it with water. Run the glue along the crack and let it seep in for a few minutes. Then sand off the excess. When you do this the...
