have you tried eadgc tuning yet ? I tried it twice, never liked it one bit, the high c string is so thin, feels like a guitar string,... maybe you like it, I didn't, I'd rather have a low B and rarely use it than a high c. on a short scale however, never tried a low b there.

oh yeah, some points enrico mentioned are also interesting I don't know if there's a fender thread on here where fender guys are posting, but you can head over to the sadowsky thread and more often than not roger himself posts there and also asks questions to the community about new...

I like reading these kind of threads, why ? They get emotional so quickly. And why is that ? Because there isn't much to discuss on a factual basis. My opinion - Fender / Sadowsky, two completely different bass guitars. Also, when talking about Fender vs Sadowsky, you have to mention...

my opinion - with everything "music", or if you want to get philosophical, with everything "life" you can not force it you try it, you don't like it, don't subject yourself to it, maybe at some point later you try it again and suddenly it hits you - "ah, wow, that's what everybody was taking...

Hey guys, had a potential buyer over today, the moment he touched the bass I knew I couldn't sell it. Thanks everyone for looking. :bassist:

In between the lines, at least to me, it sounds as if you have made up your mind in favor of the 6 string bass already. In this case go for it. My opinion, since you have a guitar, it can be a very satisfying experience to have an instrument with a more limited tonal range, i.e. a 4 string...

I disagree. Unless you can jet around in your private airplane, there is no way to try out every bass by every builder. Even if some shops carry a lot of high end boutique basses, I'm sure you can't even try out one full production line from _one_ builder in one shop. I even think you...

Hey, Sander De Gier built me a Custom 5 String Elevation recently, check them out, they are really awesome. Invalid Link Removed I have Nordstrand DualCoils in there, with Serial/CoilSplit/Parallel Switching and just love the sound of these pickups. The price is also really ok, in...

Theoretically I think it's somewhat easy, playing it is different in my opinion. Take some chord changes in Cmaj and blow over them with the Cmaj Scale. Every tone will sound "okay" more or less but doing it like that without thinking about the changes you tend to sound, or at least I do...

If all other strings are fine this would be my first setup step too.

I don't like pick-playing. I sometimes regret it because some of the songs I play could really benefit from the different sound but I just don't like it. I have small hands and play the bass very... diagonal, with the body tilted downward and the neck tilted upward so my fretting hand is...

hey, @jlepre, Sander sent me some picture updates before the switches and the ramp were installed because it was yet to be determined what kind of switches etc. (I'm sure he took all the pictures you can see on facebook at that point). Once I saw the beautiful top I asked him to leave it...

Hey gimmeagig, what ! How dare you ! My playing is awesome ! just kidding :D To be honest, when starting this thread I haven't put much thought to the "beginner player with high end bass" effect, maybe I should have. My primary intention for the new bass thread simply was sharing...

Hey guys, just recorded some quick noodling over a ii-V-I in Cmaj, hope this works ? if not, here's the link. https://soundcloud.com/mrchrizmo/de-gier-elevation-solo My chops are not yet up to par with this amazing instrument but getting there, getting there. Hope you like...
