project bass, i'd LOVE to hear some clips when you're done. i also record with a very short scale (25.5) custom bass, with mighty mite pick ups through a bassman 150 to get an entwistle-meets-crunt kind of garage punk sound which i can put Keith Levene style noise Guitar over the top of. i...

yes! i'm feeling broadminded today ;-) i like how it responds well to a really agressive touch, i've always been hamfisted and you have to dig in with a Guitarron, it feels like a complete instrument you can get some lovely melodic chord partials on the 3 nylon strings at the same time as...

pretty much sums up my philosophy, if you play your idea of bass parts on it its a bass. Play Don't worry :-) i'm really keen to hear some sound clips if its not a hassle, i'm seriously considering putting my name down for a 2nd hand i think this would fit my style. how do those thing...

count me in, current fretless is acoustic due to noise complaints: Invalid Link Removed the best bass i ever owned was a cheap hohner fretless that looked and sounded like a million bucks, everything about it was right for me the weight shape etc it was the only instrument i ever felt...

useful thread, i'm in a similar position is there such a thing as a passive 6?

still wiki-ing: did Brian Wilson use a VI or a bari? what about the cure in 1981?
