hi all, friend of mine got a new jaguar short scale as his first bass, and i was changing his strings today, and the E just wouldnt reach a stable tuning. strung right, plenty of wraps. when i tried to tune it, it would seem to get close, but then jsut jump around. couldnt get it to show as...

these things are silly, but i see the point that some make about using it to glean knowledge from specific pros... in that vein, there is actually a sweet thing this summer...Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Pat Mastelotto are hosting a camp for folks, with lessons, jams, just hanging out with...

its a g&l trib jb-2, so not string-thru. d'addario chrome flats. i would go return, but its a trek across town, and i hate going into this store. i popped in because i was nearby, but just being in a daddy's junky music makes my soul burn. long and the short is, if i have to, i will...

Hi all, Bought some strings today on my lunch, and just realized the idiot salesman/idiot customer didnt realize the package acquired was superlong scale. Any real drawbacks to throwing these on a standard scale, or should they be returned with many scowls and gnashing of teeth?

white is good...looks good with a hawaiian shirt... but somehow i think showing grain is key tooo also, stumbled across what might be the ultimate yacht rock cover band name: Mustache Harbor

last i checked the show was available streaming somewhere online, hilarious stuff...i'll post a link if i find it here it is...can watch the episodes http://yachtrock.com/

well, a parody of the 'best bass for metal' meme, wrapped up in a serious question to inform a project which is a parody. yacht rock to me is defined as the smooth easy rock sound of the era 1976-84 the series mines the same rich and horrible cultural element irony is a crippling...

Hey folks, Thinking about starting a yacht rock originals project (with select covers) with some friends. Since I am playing around with ideas about picking up a new bass anyway, thought I would poll the vast collective TB brain on the optimum yacht rock bass, both from a sound perspective...

this, my sweet kawai f2b. awesome bass, at least i made about a 50% profit on it...but i still miss it this is a pic i found, not my actual...the grain on mine was killer

put email in the last open field as well...

hey all.. pretty sure i am going to join the warmoth family at some point in the relatively near future... one question for the group...for those that did not self-assemble (and there's no way im risking it), how much have you paid for a pro to do it for you? i have someone near by who...

when i bought my first bass (don't even remember the no-name name) in 1987, for 199.00, i got a hard case, strap, couple packs of strings and a cable thrown in... never had that experience again, with far more expensive basses....

sorry, was unclear in my original post....meant the V headstock shape. rosewood boards i am sure are common, but i meant (also unclear) an all-rosewood neck, not only board.

So, sometime in the next few months I will be in a position to purchase a new bass. I have slowly shed basses over the past 6 years because of financial necessity, so it's nice to be able to start moving in the other direction. Have not been able to find the right one, so I have been thinking...

Mouradian bass?
