Decided to try to get back into bass and picked up an NG2-5 this week. For those of you longtime players with the same/similar bass, where do you put your thumb while playing on the B string? Mine ends up on the upper corner of the pickup, corner closest to the neck, can't really see it going...

All of the above? My only experience is with guitars, but it really is amazing how much more compact, light, and handleable an instrument becomes when you knock the headstock off. On the Vader bass, combined with a shortscale which i think a lot of potential Vader buyers are interested in...

Hey guys, new member here with a few quick questions about speccing out a B25, will try to keep it as brief as possible. I've been playing guitar for about 15 years now, fairly proficient, but far from a virtuoso or anything. Wanting to get into bass because it seems really fun and i love the...
