    Rattle saddle

    I have the same problem with my Tobias Killer B, I found that the saddle height screws vibrate loose on occasion and when they do it rattles like crazy. Just adjust the height of the saddle so that both screws are touching evenly against the bridge.

    New Bertolini Pickups vs. Fender

    Do you have a preamp with the bartolini's? They are designed to work best with one. Personally I find my bartolini's much darker than any stock fender pickup.

    so this can't be true????????

    Are we talking about just dropping lets say the E string to D? If so then the amount of tension the string has would be reduced thus putting less stress on the neck. That may put the other strings slightly out of tune, the amount of which would depend on the instrument. That is at least my...

    Tobias Killer B Pickups?

    I'm thinking about buying my uncle's Tobias Killer B from him, however I can't find any information about the pickups that are in it. I know they are made for Tobias basses by Bartolini but nothing more. The Bartolini site is all but helpful in the matter. Does any one have any more information...

    Webstrings vs. Naked Strings vs. ???

    I've used them on 3 of my basses and thought that they were really good for the price (3 for $25). They don't keep there life as long as brands like DR or Blue Steels (which are my usual brands of choice). I'd definitely buy them again though. Give 'em a try I would say.

    Filling in nut to raise string height?

    Sweet! Thanks for the help, I like the idea of the super glue and baking soda, I'll have to try to make up a batch.

    Filling in nut to raise string height?

    Hello TB'ers, I have a Gibson made Tobias growler that has an annoying buzz on the open g string. I have tried many truss rod and bridge adjustments and it will not go away without having the saddle height maxed out. Since it is only on the open note the only thing I can think of is that the nut...

    My band opened for a couple of other bands that were playing later that night, we were told the PA would be supplied and just bring our instruments, amp, and drum set. I luckily had a few mics and cables with me, no one else out of the 5 other bands playing had any mics....not to mention i had...

    my bass amp is haunted by cheesy mexican music

    My Hughes & Kettner guitar amp does the same thing but only when my guitar volume is totally off, it for some reason only picks up church services?

    Traben Basses

    I've owned 2 Array Limited's, one of which I've since sold. In my mind they play veryy smooth and are an overall good value for the money. My only complaint is the pickups/preamp. I find them good for playing at home but rather weak in a live setting, to me they lack a certain thickness or...

    P-bass Tone Problem

    My friend asked me to look at his Squier P-bass for him, for some reason when you turn the tone control all the way down the signal completely fades out, the volume control works fine and the tone works it just for some reason cuts out completely when turned down. My guess is that the pot is...
