    Mohini Dey's Advanced Bass Technique Lesson Videos

    Yeah, there’s something artificial about her intelligence.

    Lightest tuners on the market

    Yeah, I figured there would be some catch. Stupid physics… To clarify, my idea was only to test what the difference was before changing the tuners, not a permanent fix.

    Lightest tuners on the market

    Same. Just got the SRC6MS, and it has more neck dive than any of my other instruments. It’s always been something I have accepted and adapted to, but the thought of lighter tuners has crossed my mind. Now, I’m no scientist, but I do have an idea. If your math is correct, and the weight...

    Best 2X10 cabinet...

    I would assume that the Hartke XL would be more roadworthy than either the HD or HL line, but that’s just an assumption.

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    It certainly has been a while. Thanks for the friendly welcome back! There was a period of time were I was experiencing some physical difficulties. Had to step away from playing. During that time, I parted ways with the R200C. Passed it on to a younger musician in need of a gigging amp. That...

    Fender Rumble LT25, Studio 40 & Stage 800

    I’ve a couple questions about the Studio 40 that I haven’t yet find answers to. Hopefully, a knowledgeable member can provide some clarity. The Studio 40 can be connected via USB to an iMac for recording. When connected and recording, does the signal also go to the speaker, or only to the iMac...

    Sound Test of My 5 String Ibanez Mikro Bass.

    Nice work, John! :thumbsup: I was just thinking about experimenting with a mikro 5 and Ernie Ball Bass VI strings, and found this thread. Were any mods needed to get the strings set up properly, other than thread the ball ends? Some nut work, perhaps?

    *The Wing Bass Club*

    I suppose I wasn’t very clear with my “custom strings” comment. I was referring specifically to the Kalium Wing Bass Balanced Sets they sell on their site. I assumed those were shorter than normal strings, but I have no experience/evidence to back that up. So, the balanced strings aren’t...

    *The Wing Bass Club*

    Curious how this worked. I’d think G would be more likely than E, since each string is tuned to the next lowest string. Curious, indeed. Also curious as to what the longest scale length can be for either model, given the custom strings.

    so, what is the realm of the possible for a totally custom build?

    Ibanez make a 5 string micro with, if I recall correctly, 16.5mm string spacing. Even if she only uses 4 strings, it would a be a simple and inexpensive option.

    perfect cab for ELF?

    I’m wondering the same. Never really got into the technical side of my gear. More of a plug and play kind of guy. A fellow simpleton, if you will. I’m very interested in the ELF and matching 1x10 cabinet. I haven’t played out for sometime now, and rarely jam with others. Don’t need lots of...

    Where to put this money?

    That would seem like the smart thing to do, but I couldn't enjoy either with this aching GAS! Also, those accounts have been funded, and this is birthday/bonus money for me to treat myself with.
