    "couple of years ago." may as well do a complete rework. EBAY has workable bridges that use the same screw hole placement. which is almost certainly at the 35" spot anyhow. FWIW most cheap bridges are gonna bend also

    THAT SOUNDS GOOD. You're ultimately correct about playing softer. I have a UBASS and it's not an either or for compression vs soft touch. You might be good enough to play without compression... I'm not. And with longer scale or heavier strings I find it easier to fret a heavy string than pluck...

    I sold off all my electrics in January. Guy who bought my BEAD Samick YB-410BK was a moron and tuned it up to E having not read the ad being a loser reseller and tried to blame me for the truss rod busting... When he tried adjusting it. Darius Yang. You idiot. Recently returned with this...

    I don't think you have any viable string choices and a short scale BEAD isn't really the best variant. Anything will work however so. Do what you like.

    Hickory as a tone wood - why not?

    Yeah my resonant head warped. So the neck is gonna be repurposed for a different build. Same idea with hickory and maple.. But for now it's been shelved indefinitely. Just been playing and singing Actually.. Just took a look at it again. It's flat again. Either way the body isn't stable so...

    What does your home practice setup look like?

    Sweet on both.. I only today tried my MicroCUBE Gx with my UBass laughable results with anything other than the octave and Jazz Chorus.. I also use an Oontz. But the angle 3 plus. Very underated.. I actually plug my Ukulele into it when I'm trying to be heard.

    How crazy is it to have 5 basses and not gig??

    If you were born with 3 dicks you wouldn't think. I have 2 too many. "Well you can't use them all and once". *hold my beer.

    How crazy is it to have 5 basses and not gig??

    It's like beer. I count to 3 then I only look at the bill and shrug.
