    GR Bass Gear Questions?

    Just got a CUBE 112. It's great! Very clear tone, great response, only 26 pounds. I live in the city in a 3rd floor walk up and I can one hand it the whole way up and down the stairs. Have not gigged with it yet, but from what I know so far it's great.

    DR Short Scale Strings?

    According to their website, the regular length (long scale/for 34" or 35") is 37 3/4", while the short scale set is 33 3/4". Which checks out as short scale strings, since you need length to go past the nut and wrap around the posts, as with the regular/long scale.

    DR Short Scale Strings?

    Not sure what the length was but they worked and kept intonation and tension well on my Musicmaster which has a 30" scale

    GR Bass Gear Questions?

    Hey John, Just pulled the trigger on a CUBE112! Funny enough this is the first brand new speaker cabinet I have purchased in my 18 years of playing, so I am very excited. I am planning to run a EA iAmp Micro 550 through it for now, which handles 4 or 8 ohms. I know the CUBE112 handles both, is...

    Mesa Subway 800+ or Darkglass 900?

    I'd def go with the mesa-compressor-pedal deal, as that's a great deal and I prefer the mesa over the darkglass personally as well

    Someone plays better than you?

    Worry about yourself, not others. A lot of musicians chose to work with other musicians not just because of their talent, but usually because of how pleasant and easy they are to work with. If another player plays something I like, I try to learn from it or if it's beyond my abilities, enjoy it...

    Questions about SS's, technique, and setups.

    1. Does the pain go away when you take a break? In my early 20's I had a lot of muscle pain in my fretting hand around where the base of my thumb reaches my hand- turned out it was work related, because when I changed jobs it went away immediately. I used to also favor high action (the tone is...

    Flatwounds for live performances difficult?

    Agree here- flats in my experience (and hey, just my experience) get buried in the mix and sort of blend into all the other instruments. This is not a bad thing per se, just different. This past Saturday I went into the studio with a Streamer CV with GHS Balanced Nickel rounds and a Fender...
