OK so I'm feeling quite confident that I can work with this bass. This morning I was gently adjusting the position of the bridge and it "fell over". At first I was concerned because I had read that if the soundpost falls (held in position by the pressure on the bridge) it is a PITA to...

Yeah so far it seems good I’m 5ft 4in anyway so I figure it’s going to be easier to gig with and it fits in my mini cooper

Thanks for that thoughtful and thorough reply...I do have the 2 larger diameter strings left over, however they will require me to take a file to the nut and bridge....I do plan to play amplified so I think I'll leave things as is for the moment. It seems I should be aiming for 41 Hz for the E...

My bad using the wrong terminology. So they could be stretched beyond usability?

These strings specifically say they will fit 1/2 sized bass.

Hi Folks I've been playing electric bass for 10 years and just recently picked up a Sam Shen 1/2 size double bass. It came with steel strings but I wanted to try gut strings. I ordered a set of Superior Bassworks Standard Dirty Gut strings. I installed them starting with the G and worked my...

I guess you could keep your weed in there.

Hi I was replacing the pickup on my P-Bass and took the pick guard off for the first time. There is a 3/4 inch blind hole in the body. Anybody know what its there for...or justa CNC goof?

Would the horn be strong enough tho? Has anybody done this successfully?

There is probably a technical name for this issue but I havent found anything on here that addresses the problem. I have a Starfire II which is great but when it's on a strap the top of the body tilts away from me and thus I can't see the frets. Would putting the strap on the headstock remedy...

I was 55 when I bought my first bass, I had been playing and gigging as a drummer for 40 odd years. Moving to bass was such a blast. Find some folks to play with, learn some simple parts and get out there and play in front of people, you'll love it.

I'm thinking about picking up a 2003 Trace 7 15 200 watt combo, I already own an an 8ohm 15 inch Trace cab. The combo has a combination speakon speaker output as per picture. My question is using a splitter cable can I plug in both the internal and my external speakers? Sorry for the noob...
