Thank you all

That explains the situation quite good. measured from the fretboard behind first fret up to the string, which is about 2.5mm. But goes up to 4.5mm at the highest fret. I have quite an aggressive attack, so I don't mind a bit of room. It's not an ideal setup, but one I can live with if it...

It's a Ric'ish type of bass from the 70's. neck-trough with a single truss rod. You'll find good examples when googling 'kasuga ric bass' I'm not sure if everything's ok, that's why I'm glad people share their opinions ;)

Not at all. It's more that I don't want to bother with the trussrod. The saddles are very low actually, there's a lot room to raise. Would straighten the neck and raising the saddles be the better option?

The neck has an upbow but the overall action is fine and comfortable to play for me. Is there any disadvantage or maybe future damage when I leave the truss rod and neck in the current state and keep playing?

No it isn't. Wasn't my intention to demonstate it as a Rick. It's a very good instrument non the less. I think that might've solved it, thank you!

Black cable in my hand is ground, coming from the output jack. Where do I wire which cable? Standard 4 knobs, 1 three-way-switch. Goal is to the have the three-way-switch in the middle position, one volume knob rolled off without shutting off the bass. Setting up the harness was around 30min...

Thank you!

I have about 5meters of 2x 0.5mm cable left over and need to wire a new harness. Can I use this cable (*click*) to connect the pots and capacitors etc. with each other? If I'm not mistaken, ~0.5mm should be AWG24, according to this chart Invalid Link Removed It's a pretty slim cable... edit...

Same amp, same brand (both Hartke), same room, same instrument, same player. I've read that it makes a difference depending on the distance to the listener. Does a 1x15" have more bottom end or am I imagining that? (is there a speaker forum?)

Can confirm. Most Rics I see in Germany that aren't in horrible condition go for about 1300 to 1700€ used, and new for about 2000-2500€. Sometimes accompanied with a 6months (or longer) wait time... @OP: If you haven't already you could check out this Thread: Club RickenFaker / FakenBacker -...

Really? Ok. Have only seen Jazz Basses so far, didn't know that's a thing with Mexican P-Basses. Thanks for clearing that up! :)

My drummer (who got this bass from his brother) gave me his mexican P-Bass for some repairworks. Once I removed the pickguard there was a round sticker near the fretboard and a routed hole which doesn't look amateurish and is also lacquered (see picture). There's no toogle-switch and none is...

I didn't know where to post, point me to a right sub if necessary please! I'm playing bass guitar for a good five years now and will get a double bass soon. What do I need to know? Where do I start (or rather, continue)?

I know that there are major scales, minor scales and modes that they can be played in (ionian, dorian, etc.) but... I'm somehow missing the connection between all these. I don't know how to connect my knowledge and how to make it use able. When do I have to or can use which mode? Can I mix...
