Hey, thanks for taking the time to reply. I ended up getting a Getaway Driver fromm reverb. Definitely a cool pedal. Can get some really mean sounding overdrive from it. I really like the amp emulated out, very useful.

Hey, I am curious if anyone has tried the Orange Getaway Driver Overdrive on Bass? Any body know if it is noisy or if it loses a lot of low end. There are 2 demoes on youtube but they are a little lackluster. I recently got the Orange Fur Coat fuzz and it is so awesome it got me interested...

Yeah I had a 23" microbass. I bought 21" reds off of ebay because that was all I could find at the time. These are the strings I bought and they worked fine but it looks like the 23" reds are available now. The reds I got are 91U and the 23" ones are 92U.

I had the reds on my microbass for at-least a year before I sold it. I never a had any problems using them and no problems with them rattling around in the nut slots or anything. From what I remember there was a good about of space around the string in the nut slot, but again no problems. If you...

Well, how is the fretless Artist? Before I got my fretless Heir I was originally going to de-fret one. I never thought about the difficulty of de-fretting with a zero fret. But I imagine the zero fret could be filed down to the correct hight. Though I am sure you will love the Artist so you...

I have a fretless Heir 4 string. Theres not that much to say about it. Its great, it has all the same great things as the fretted version, but I almost like the tone of the fretless a bit better. I really love the slightly Justin Chancellor ish pick tone you can get with the heir, and the...

Do you have allot of relief in in your neck? I didn't notice much affect with the truss rod but my neck relief is extremely close to flat. So The lack of adjustment hasn't been a problem for me.

I had the same experience.

I don't find it any more difficult to intonate on my 23" Micro Bass than I do on any other fretless bass. Actually I find it a bit easier because I don't have to stretch to reach notes. The notes are much closer to where my fingers naturally are. I would get which ever you think will be more...

Nope, the strings are long enough to reach the tuners without stretching them. The E and D strings I cut to length and threaded threw the holes in the tuners, no stretching involved. They have several raps around the post but are fairly stable so that might work long term. The A and G stretch...

Hyy thanks, that is good to know. I am really diging the reds but maybe I will give the pahoehoes a try some day.

I hear you man. I use my micro for practice at home and mostly acoustically. If I wanted to gig with it I could definitely see the appeal of Pahoehoes. I went with reds for acoustic volume and punchy tone. So far I haven't had problems with the strings squeaking like thunderguts. But I only had...

I decided to try a set of Aquill 91U Red Thunder for the UBass on my Goldtone Micro Bass. I have had them on there for about a week, and I gotta say I really like them. They have great tone, better acoustic volume, sustain, they sit in the mix better and better feel on the right hand too...

Anyone else have a week note or a dead note on the C note 10th fret on the D string? On my 23" micro, that not is not dead but it is definitely weaker. It is still useable but does not sing like the notes around it. Anybody else notice any dead/weak notes on their micro bass?

Hey BrianMarc, I have never played a fretted micro bass. But I much prefer fretless acoustic basses in general, mostly because of the lack of fret buzz. I love my fretless micro, but it seems like there are lots of folks on here that love their fretted micro too. Was your ubass set up correctly...
