For my IEM preamp body packs, I am using 9V rechargeable batteries from Fischer Amps. For pedals, these might be useful, too - at least for the ones which may introduce too much noise on a shared power supply, as @mysteryclock mentioned: Invalid Link Removed On the ones I have it says: minimum...

As @PeterH , I also did stay away from such tools. Scales might be one way - yet, if that gets too boring, you can try to play along material that enforces you to properly use the ring finger and the pinky; that is without excessive force which may just hurt. In my case, I figured out it was not...

Congrats, looks nice! Especially the finish and the pickguard. That with the neck pickup is weird. But seems to be no big deal. On the photo it seems that the top of the pickup bezel is just missing. The pickup itself then would not be held onto its base plate (the metal plate below the...

He also gave insights as to what, how, and why he tried particular basses, what he liked about them, and what purpose they served to him. Experimenting and improving is part of what I associate with the great bassist Chris Squire. It is his playground (hopefully still is, spiritually speaking)...

I agree; they have the "S" logo and "Made in Germany" printed on the back, so... either Schaller or good copies :D @Quadzilla: Congrats and many thanks for sharing - I hope it works out well, and that you have much fun playing that Ric! \m/

Very very awesome! Did you buy that recently? Think I saw one on reverb that was from June '73. Was one of the pages I found myself to reload, watch and drool over again and again :D Anyway, congrats and happy playing! \m/

Looking at the second picture, I found myself observing my own thougths; looks great, especially the combo of walnut, maple neck, and the white binding. Looks great. I mean, functionally, the binding would be one of the least important things, right? Still, visually, I find it very appealing. I...

Also in a band context or just when practicing? I found, especially the Rick really shines in the lower mids with the nice growl. But that depends on the music, of course, and the taste. And the rig, especially the cabinets. As for myself, I rather roll off the bass @40Hz, the amount depending...

Tight, well played, congrats! \m/

Looks awesome. Are those folded horn cabinets?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Show yours first :D

Wow, looks great - the wood figure and the burst are a good combo, here; seems as if it's in flames, cool! Thanks for sharing the pictures. Happy playing with that beauty! \m/

Yepp. Unfortunately, he had passed away. Saw him with ManOwaR. For all who are interested, here's the archived website - the link shows the article that mentions Glover's 4001 - click on the picture of the bass for more details at the page: Wayback Machine

Don't worry, it's a good and reasonable question. Whether you need to adjust the truss rods after putting on new strings is the same as usual on other basses; check for neck relief; I use to rpess down the low-E string on the first fret and on the last fret, then check the clearance between...

I am not from the USA, so I can only guess and share what comes to my mind: The TB classifieds, of course, as well as the marketplace at Rickresource: Olivia's Vintage Next, maybe Craigslist would be useful to find sellers located in your area? On reverb there appears to be one - but located...
