Interesting. I've changed lots of guitar strings but never bass. Never thought about having to do anything with the silks.

Awesome, thanks! Pretty excited to get these 40-96 strings on my bass so I can get my Rumblekat one step closer to a guitar with the smaller gauge strings, lol .

Hi all: I bought a set of GHS Pressurewound strings for my Rumblekat. Bought them off Amazon. I'm a guitar player mostly. The Rumblekat is my first bass and this is the first time I've bought bass strings. So I'm used to seeing strings packaged a certain way -- ideally vacuum packed...

As Kev says, there is some logic in getting someone else to do it. It's a specialized world and unless you are really wanting to pick up the skill, you might be better to get someone else to do it. I'd gladly install pickups for free for any friends and family and you might even know someone...

Unless you're a total klutz around tools, you can learn to solder. I was messing around with a soldering iron when I was about 10 years old and figured it out. Not because I was smart but because I tried and played around with it. All you need is some wire and some copper objects to practice...

Will do. Probably will be a while before I try new strings though. Going to do a level/crown/polish first (later this year prob). Maybe get the Hipshot Supertone. $200 Canadian - ouch. Still, this is an instrument worth of some TLC and a couple of upgrades if I ever saw one. I did spend an...

I recently bought a Rumblekat -- my first bass -- and created an account to join this thread. I've played guitar for 20 years but rarely picked up a bass unless in a guitar shop for 30 seconds and didn't like how foreign long scale felt coming from guitar. Huge Beatles/Macca fan. I've been...
