    Clicking sound when touching strings

    Hi, when I'm touching strings on my Marcus Miller v7 i get a clicking sound (doesn't happen every time). Is it a grounding issue or just a static discharge? It's not really a big problem but I want to know if i should check the grounding.

    Metal filings in jazz bass pickup

    Unfortunately it's wax potted. I don't hear any issues in sound. Is it very likely that it can get to the coil wire in the near future?

    Metal filings in jazz bass pickup

    Hi, I just got a MM Jazz Bass and it had some metal filings on neck pickup. I tried to get rid of it with fingers, removed some of it but I think some of it got deeper into pickup where it's not reachable. Then I read that it's easy to remove with masking tape. I did that and there's no visable...

    Choosing first bass guitar

    Thank you all for the answers! After considering all of your suggestions I'm probably gonna choose the yamaha bb234 cause it seems to be the most versatile. I have one last question. How well does the yamaha stand in terms of quality against the squier cv series and sterling ray 4?

    Choosing first bass guitar

    Hi, I'm planning on buying my first bass guitar. My favourite music genres are r&b, soul, hip-hop and funk. I'm trying to decide between Sterling Stingray 4, Yamaha Trbx 304 and Trbx 305 (found used one for 415$). I know that for these styles the best option would be a P Bass, but I don't like...

    First bass amp suggestion

    Thanks everyone for the replies! I'll probably end up with the rumble 100 but I'm also considering Phil Jones s-77, hardke kb12 and Eden Terra Nova TN 2251. I need to check what is the best deal in Poland.

    First bass amp suggestion

    I come from the electric guitar world and I've never owned a bass amp. There are lots of high wattage guitar amps that sound like crap in really low volumes and also there is no way that you could play something like a 12" fender hot rod deluxe in a comfortable small apartment volumes. That's...

    First bass amp suggestion

    I know that I can get something bigger but I want it to also be my practice amp. The hartke seems to be really nice but again I need to know if it can be played at apartment levels.

    First bass amp suggestion

    What about the Eden Terra Nova TN 2251? It has 250 watts and a headphone output. Also I'd like to know if it can get as quiet as rumble 100. I've been playing an electric guitar for quite some time and 100W 12" guitar combo was more than enough for my needs but I'm totally new in the bass world...

    First bass amp suggestion

    Do you have any other suggestion in the budget of rumble 100 that would be good in bedroom and rehearsal levels?

    First bass amp suggestion

    Hi, I need some help with choosing my first bass amp. My choice is between Yamaha Thr10 and Fender Rumble 100. I want to play with a band as soon as possible so the fender seems to be the best option but I live in a small apartment an need to know if it wouldn't be too loud.
