    What is your main bass and why?

    I've seen the light and have become a proponent of becoming intimately familiar with the feel of a single instrument then using electronics to coax 90% of any tones I'd ever need out of it. To that end, my #1 these days is an Xotic XJ-1T. It has amazing playability and versatile preamp (which...

    PYPB 44: ...like Tetris with boxes, wires and cables

    Tapered strings and inharmonicity

    You're right - I didn't word that well. Here are some pics. Note that the tape wrapped around the strings is ~1 inch long.
