on the internet i recalled a guy who owned over 100 musicmans of different makes and models. he left the batteries in a bunch of them and they ended up leaking, some within a year of the expiration date. if its going away for a year or so take the battery out!

the most talented bassists play slap bass

oh and electronica is a huge umbrella term for several different types of music. your typical hard house bassline might be really boring but a drum and bass or breakbeat bassline is often really intense and interesting. all depends on what you're listening to. and in most cases electronica...

i hope im not just rehashing something that was mentioned earlier but the boringest basslines in the world to play are often not played by an electric bass or even an upright...theyre played by susaphones and they're in a genre of folk music called "oompah" heres an excerpt from a website on...

i get clicking on my stingray when the trebble knob is up, and i can play a bass without it causing to buzz on the lowest of low actions. if its the similar noise that i get, which is simply the noise of your finger rubbing against the string then turn down the 5k-6k or 1.5k knobs if you got...

it would be funny if you painted it metallic silver or chrome somehow.

my question is though how do metal saddle pieces tighten up over the years ya know? the problem ended up not being the necks relief but the saddles being too high. this bass has NEVER had a saddle adjustmen since i first got it of course and ive relied all on neck adjustments to change things...

when they break and cant be tuned then yes they're dead...otherwise they should be used forever!

ill settle with dr. that way you'll sound young AND distinguished! so unless i got a truss rod flying through a fretboard or a truss rod that doesnt adjust im cool?

howdy yalls, anyways i was wondering if temperature affected bridge saddles or what exactly can cause them to shift ie temperature change possibly? or putting on a higher gauge string? or accidentally stringing the bass so that the string is not in the indention in the bridge saddle? does the...

thank you very much mr. 4001, everything seems fine right now, i must also add the neck is incredibly dry as it is now, i havent had the chance to lemon oil the unfinished maple neck in a while. the frets are jutting out like mad right now and i was terrified i killed the darn thing. ill check...

ok so i adjusted the truss rod again, this time i made sure i held down the 2nd fret and the 12th fret and made sure there was a business card's worth of space between the 7th fret and the e string. i also adjusted the bridge to a decent setting and now there is no buzzing or anything wrong...

oh thank god! thanks so much! so its definitely not broken? i mean the truss adjustment still raises and lowers it fine and dandy.
