The Telecaster is here: It has now got black tuners too (locking - but actually the "looking" is the best upgrade ;-) ) Also a Thomann.com kit but with a P90 neck pickup as a replacement for the kit pickup. And a selfmade black pickguard as it only comes in white with the kit.

Might be a solution - perhaps in a "cavity" from the edge at the "bottom" of the body which would be hidden by the strap. I plan by the way to make it look like this - using a very cheap 3 way equalizer (with good reviews) Artec SE3: The "pinup" is my girlfriend (just for fun) - when she saw...

I see you point and agree. Reason why I am currently using G30 is that it is NOT plugin. I play two Ibanez Soundgear basses which both have plug settled in the surface and turned up against the strap knop. I like this as I am always running the cable through the strap. But the placement in the...

Yes I was measuring the outer case which is almost as thick as the bass body. Thinking of just making a small "compartment" for it.... But you are right - It would probably do better by splitting it which also would be a better solution for placing the antenna "almost external" and butting the...

You are probably right - doing some measurements reveals that at least the G30 transmitter probably is to big to be hidden in the bass body though ... I just feel that when having the G30 transmitter attached to the strap it bangs on the bass body when putting the bass on and it bangs on the...

Being in the process of building a bass based on a jazz bass kit from Thomann.com I have been thinking: What to do to really customize and to make it "my bass". I have been wondering if a built in wireless transmitter or at least a built in box for something like a Line 6 G30 transmitter...

No, but as oil and water cannot mix.... If you fill the pores af the Wood with oil it must somehow prevent them from being filled with water from the moisture in the air?

With a rosewood fingerboard I would guess that keeping it well oiled should reduce impact from changes in humidity?

I totally agree - I know that before a certain tune I need to add some high end (in the break between tunes) so I cannot use my ears. I totally agree that thing changes from venue to venue but as I intend to setup my amp tone controls to my desired sound with the bass tone controls in neutral I...

Indeed very visible but I think it will ruin the 'sexy' look of my bass ;-)

I have an Ibanez SR500 (and a SR370 as backup). I am very happy about the active tone controls - I set up a nice sound on the amp with all bass controls in neutral and I can perform ALL sound changes between different tunes only on the bass. But.... The marks indicating knob positions are very...

I will assume that a piece of wood (= the neck) will bend in the same way no matter if it has been cut to a short scale or a long scale. And so the relief from the bending will be bigger on a long scale (like a bass - the blue string) than on a short scale (like a guitar - the red string):

My experience is mostly gathered as s guitar player during 40 years but also playing bass on/off. Recently focus has gone to bass playing. In 2015 I bought an Ibanez SR500 Brown Mahagony which I love for its playability and great sound no matter what I plug it into - just dial the onboard...

In reply to my own post ;-) I did this workaround: * Exported from GP as music XML * Edited in text editor and did this: Replace: <string>1</string><fret>0</fret> (some line breaks and tabs excluded for clarity) With: <string>2</string><fret>5</fret> (and similar for string 2 and...

I've got a gp5 file with a bass line using a lot of free strings. I would prefer to see and play it as one string deeper in 5th fret instead. I can of course manually recode it all but would like to know if there should be an automatic way to do this? (in Guitar Pro, TuxGuitar, MusicXLM or...
