    Extremely Light Flat Wound Strings?

    Ah nice! Congrats, OP talkbass never fails :) Btw can anyone find NOT short scale on this website? I wanted to try Pyramids but I do like some weird gauges here and there (like 45-95 so a heavier G and light E) Wasn’t able to find the single strings there just sets

    Extremely Light Flat Wound Strings?

    dont wanna be a party pooper but if you go too thin they just won't sound like flats anymore. at some point they just sound like bad rounds... the tension is what makes them sound the way they do, you need notes to give a "flat and clear fundemental sustain" because your frequency range is more...

    What's the "point" of knobs?

    Every bass has to be different. I have no idea why but I like that it's totally not a standard thing

    Is this normal for D’Addario Chrome Flats on a P Bass?

    I love Chromes btw... mine took shockingly long to fully break in... like several months... they sounded good throughout, but give them time they improve more...

    Can anyone identify this bass and its maker?

    it's 100% NOT this, but it kinda reminds me of an Aria! might be inspired by it?...

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Yep this bass is special it also sounds like 70s or even 60s rick not 80s... (it's very deep and woody, not sharp, even with rounds).. some ricko experts told me it's common for 1st year production of any rick model to have parts from previous models or odd features. It might even be a prototype!

    Versatone by Audio Guild 60s era Bass/Guitar amp

    Finally took the Versatone home and I feel like I'm never going to need any more bass gear ever... I feel fulfilled. (who am I kidding?...) But seriously it sounds unreasonably great! 🥰 If anyone has info on specific model I'd be happy to learn

    Versatone by Audio Guild 60s era Bass/Guitar amp

    Cool man! Totally get it and noted! Awesome photo too I'll copy you at some point and post something similar :) Also maybe someone can help me date mine just out of curiosity because I know several versions were made. Btw, why "had" and not "have"? that version looks so dope with the blue...

    Versatone by Audio Guild 60s era Bass/Guitar amp

    Glad this thread has awoken, it's interesting stuff! Cool man! You seem to know these guys inside and out then!... Do you think the version I have (the guitar version) is worth modding to make it more similar somehow to this legendary model? Or perhaps converting in to a head? because the amp...

    What are examples of songs where you'd define the bass line as intermediate ?

    It's a stupid question... beginner intermediate advanced expert professional master big master... this is subjective... I'm forever a beginner, I want to learn more... Find better band

    Singer tuning songs down too low.. muddy.. but he’s a good friend.. ugh

    Moving things around I think can be good, not to get married to a tuning like you pick a song that's it's key that's it. Does he choose his keys with a producer? One of the most important things is to select the correct tonality for a singer, not based on what demo he did at home, or how he's...

    Professional Bass Players Who Uses Budget Instruments?

    Somebody else will probably be able to name people I can't off the top of my head But the Hofner Ignoition and Contemporary series are I extremely common. Many big players who do huge (thousands +) venue gigs choose them even if they can afford the German ones... also alot of people just play...

    Help me improve my jazz bass tone

    Not a huge fan of this channel cuz these guys are sometimes too slappy jazzy and fusion vibes which gives me a rash... but this is just pure gold: In general a jazz bass all out 100% volume is a great thing, I respect it. but even not for a very dark tone, when you play and you just roll a...

    The perfect strings for Harmony H22?

    Yes another dude suggested them for the Harmony just because they matched the weird gauges that I liked that are currently on the bass... (45 57 77...) But I'll start as you suggest and take it from there... I feel like there's a chance the Optima might be crazy good too I was kindof digging the...
