    The Official Swan Custom Basses Thread

    Anyone got intel on what scale length that is? Love the sound, I'd be quite impressed if it was anything below 33"

    The Official Swan Custom Basses Thread

    Any chance you could upload a picture of how it fits between the legs in the classic position? That looks like it was made just for it, but I can't imagine what it looks like until I see it :D

    80s Albums Many of Us Have Never Heard But Are Worth Checking Out

    I really love “Black Sea” album by XTC. Especially the song “There is no language in our lungs”. It’s psychedelic punk rock and it’s amazing!

    Xotic XJ-1T vs Xotic XJ-Pro

    Some are just made that way by personal request, most likely for cosmetic purposes (some people dislike having their bass looking like an aircraft control panel).

    MarkBass Vintage Preamp modification

    I have made a fair share of research into bass preamps in the last month, trying to find a fitting preamp (pedal) for my new passive G&L Kiloton. I do like how it sounds at home at my amp, but I play into a DI at church, and I wish to have a few EQ/Boost options the way I do on my 6-string...
