    How many of you gigging bassists own only one bass?

    I have two basses, but my Fender Jazz bass is all taken apart and hasn't been played in probably a year. Good thing the only bass I need is my Rickenbacker 4003, which I love to death!

    Badass II for a Rickenbacker 4003?

    Ever since I got my 4003 iv'e kind of wanted to replace the bridge with a Badass II, not only because Geddy Lee has one on all his basses, but iv'e heard it provides great sustain but I do have some concerns. I understand that you have to drill new holes, but would it be a problem to take it to...

    MIDI bass pedal

    First off, I didn't know what board to put this in , so I decided to just put it here. So being a huge fan of Rush, Yes, and pretty much any prog rock band, having a set of bass pedals like moog Taurus pedals have really fascinated me.

    Bad habits for bassists?

    These were the only ones on your list that I don't agree with. I play very aggressively with my plucking hand to get a gritty tone that suits the bass I play (rick 4003) and the band i'm in. And sometimes playing through the pain is bad, but I find that if its just pain from playing fast or for...

    Chorus pedal broke?

    Yes the power supply is isolated, the chorus pedal was the only pedal I had hooked up, and it doesn't work without a battery even if the power supply is hooked up, but I tried that anyway and it didn't work.

    Chorus pedal broke?

    So a few weeks ago I bought a lyon stereo chorus pedal from my friend and it worked fine, I didn't need it at the time and just wanted it for Sh*ts and giggles. But now when I actually need it for my band, it doesn't work! Whenever I plug it in it buzzes, and I cant seem to figure out why. I...
