Amazon.com: FretRest by Proline FRMS1 Mandolin/Uke Stand: Musical Instruments I have a bass guitar stand similar to this Ukulele stand with a T bar I need to replace. I like these stands and they do not appear to be made any longer. Any suggestions for a suitable substitute or fix ?

I recently learned of the SR2010ASC Ashula hybrid bass. After what appears to be a period of eighteen months, this instrument is no longer in production. What caused this instrument in particular (and any instrument) to be discontinued ?

Does anyone have any idea how to make, acquire, or install a Steinberger pivot plate (like those on the L series bass for attaching the shoulder strap) ? http://www.talkbass.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=46467&d=1164847818. I want to use it on an NS Stick style eight string bass.

BassGen I want to thank and congratulate you for persevering through the trials and tribulations of the Tone wood or Tune the wood thread. I thought I would try to ask a similar question and see what happened. BassGen said [a show on Treasure HD called "Guitar Picks" featured a segment on...

I wanted to start a Tosin Abasi thread to find out what people think of his playing and writing. He tunes his eight string 28 inch scale Ibanez RG2228 EBEADGBE which puts him in the range of a bass guitar. If he’s a guitarist does playing a bass line in addition to guitar parts make him...

I lost a Dingwall Voodoo bass I was quite impressed with. I thought a Dingwall Afterburner 1.5 (an Afterburner I with electronics from an Afterburner II) would be a good stop gap until I could replace my Voodoo. A year later I find the Afterburner is an above average guitar but not nearly what...

I don’t want my songs to be bass guitar solos. There is a place for solos but no player should overindulge in melodies and neglect the bottom when choosing a sound or what note to play. The use of an extended range bass should expand the palate of tone and colour, not shift the bass player’s...

Does anyone know the origin of (aside from mimicking the shape of an acoustic guitar) or the reason for inward (toward the neck) turning bouts on a guitar (as opposed to out ward away from the neck) ? Here is a classic example of outward turning bouts for guitar. Link Removed

It strikes me that as serious as I am about music I don’t really take it seriously. I never had to make a living from it. When music didn’t take off for me I got casual about study and indulgent about equipment. It never seemed like “WORK” to me, not that it should. More accurately, the work was...

I didn’t want to post this because I didn’t want to claim “sour grapes”, but I decided I could benefit from the opinions of friends and others on this matter. Perhaps music is a young man’s game where you can make the same sound (s) over and over again and repeat the same “lyric” (s) without...

What interface do you use ? Do you have experience with others ? Do you perform live with your MIDI setup ? What would you fix / change about your current setup ? What equipment do you crave ? How do you amplify everything (MIDI Synth, controller) ? How often do you perform ? If you started...

No, this is not a thread about mammoth mammalian protuberances. HRI.Com [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] appears to be a European web site dedicated to all things connected to the electric guitar or bass. Is anyone familiar with this site and how does one register to join? I can not find a VIP...

What does the word "PUNCHY" mean in the context of bass (instrument or player) sound? I see it used all the time in descriptions of instrument performance and players sound but I'm never clear about what the adjective refers to. What is a "PUNCHY" sound and why would I want my instrument to...

There's no way to delay that trouble coming every day. Is anyone using the Xotic Tri-Logic Preamp ? How do you have it set up ? Where is it in the effects chain ? How are the controls set ? I have several guitars but my effects set up has been the EBS OctaBass and the Fulltone Ultimate...

I would replace this bass if I could. If you can help me determine its whereabouts perhaps I can negotiate its return. Four string, strap wing, a pleasure to play. How can I get this guitar back after all these years?

Who played bass on Rachelle Ferrell's "Till You Come Back To Me" and what equipment did he/she use [1992 lp Rachelle Ferrell (Manhattan)] ?

Can somebody explain to me what makes a low B string sound musical ? I bought a WATSON 5-string 34.5" scale neck-through bass [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] and the B string is incredible (clear, rich, musical; a note, not a thud or other garbage) even through my Samick BA50. Better yet, how...
