I've been looking at wiring diagrams and doing searches about wiring, and I just don't get it. My knowledge regarding wiring and such is woefully lacking. So, my question is can somebody recommend some websites and/or books that can help clear up some things to a novice like me? I had some...

After over 4 years of being with the same band, I'm going to be moving on. I let them know last night and I will be playing my last gig with them on June 2nd. I plan on taking a 2 month hiatus from gigs to catch up on some projects around my house and in my teaching studio; not to mention some...

I played one today and found it very comfortable, string spacing wise. I think the nut spacing is 1.65". Does anyone know what the spacing is at the bridge? I couldn't find it on the Google. ;) On another note, it kills me when manufacturers and retailers don't put the nut width, bridge...

I just finished a transcription of Chuck Rainey's Bass line. Would anyone mind doing a little proofreading? There is no tab, just standard notation. Any comments would be helpful. Thanks! Matt

It seems like when I slap, I get mostly more highs and and attack sounds than substance. I haven't noticed this problem before, but I have a new amp and new bass. I thought using some of the onboard compression would help, but it hasn't seemed to. My amp is a Roland D-Bass 210 and the bass is a...

I was looking for some bass solos to transcribe that use the augmented scale (m2, m3, m2, etc., or vice versa). Any recommendations? Michael Brecker solos may be a little tough for me to navigate, technique-wise. ;)

The group I play with the most his/is moving to IEMs. We're looking for a way to use them with minimal fuss between venues. The casinos and some of the nicer venues usually provide sound, while a good chunk of our bar gigs don't. So, we're looking for something that doesn't reinvent the wheel...

I was wanting to know if anyone had any experience with this amp and 5/6 string basses. I've heard clips of the amp it seems to sound very good, but I have no way to play it in person. Normally I'd wait til I could play it, but I have some important gigs and my Ampeg rig is out of commission...

One is stamped Loveri; it's pernambuco with natural horse hair (black). I bought it from Ken Smith a couple of years ago. There may be a little life in the hair, but it could probably use a re-hair. $250 The other is stamped Muller. It's an intermediate-quality, best Brazil wood. Definitely...

This bass is a black semi-hollow body set-neck instrument. It's a 34" scale neck with a thin, flat profile. The pickups are soapbars with a 3 way switch; 2 tones and 2 volumes. It's strung with flatwounds right now. The output jack is missing its washer, there's a nick by the tone pots, some...

This bass is a couple of years old. This bass has a couple of issues. There is mark at the top of the scroll (or headstock...not sure what to call it on an EUB). The stand is broke; the tightening knob broke, but could probably be easily replaced via any hardware store. The thread insert where...

How important is the dampening factor when choosing a power amp to run a bass rig? I understand that it's important for running bass bins, but I'm not sure if that the bass is usually operating in that low of frequency (at least most of the time). Can someone shed some light on this for me...

I've been singing through a SM58, but it lacks the clarity and power to compete with the lead singers Beta 58. My vocals sound ok (somewhat), but when I speak to the crowd it is very muddy (my speaking voice is fairly low). Should I try a Beta 58 as well? Someone suggested an EV RE20; any...

My main band is planning on moving to in ear monitors and to remove backline from the stage to reduce on-stage volume. I think I've decided upon the Presonus Studio Channel as a preamp. I'm thinking about selling my bass rig (Ampeg SVT 4Pro, BXT 115, BXT 410) and downsizing (I still need...

I just bought an Ampeg B-12-XT off of ebay and it doesn't work (contrary to what the seller stated). They left the tubes in the chassis when they shipped it, and a couple of them fell out and were rolling around. The looked okay, so I put them back in. I fired up the amp, and it won't stay on...

My band has our CD release coming up July 3rd. It's an outdoor gig, and we are having a difficult time finding sound reinforcement. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

I have a Washburn AB95 five string and was looking to put flatwounds on it. It's a 35" scale, but I'll need longer; there is a lot of string length between the bridge and the tail piece. I'll probably need something that would fit a 36" or larger. Suggestions. I can't seem to find definitive...

I got this bass a few years ago from a friend whom got it at a school corporation auction. I believe it's from the 60's. It's definitely been abused, but plays pretty well. Very low action for pizz, but arco is not so great (whole thing seems to rattle at louder dynamic levels). I find it to be...

For Sale is: BBE Dual Channel MaxCom- $125 Korg Toneworks Rack Tuner- $90 ETA Power Conditioner- $40 SKB 8 space rack- $100 Buyer pays shipping. The BBE is 6 months old and in great condition. The Korg is cosmetically a 7/10, but works 100%. The rack is sturdy, but has plenty of...

I'm the second owner of this amp. I've only gigged it out once, as it was my backup. I'm not sure of the year; it is made in the USA. There is some minor scratches on the face; typical rack wear. $750 shipped CONUS $700 edit: I would be open to trades; specifically, a Genz Benz GBE 1200...

Black Washburn AB95 for sale. It has a 35" scale and two soapbar pickups with a three-way selector. Two tone and two volumes. The neck profile is very comfortable; more on the thinner, flatter side. I don't have the nut length or bridge spacing, but I will post later (I think the bridge spacing...

For sale is an early 70's 7/8 Czech bass. It is a Gamba-shaped and a flat back. This was purchased from the Cincinnati Bass Cellar in 2007. This is a very large and loud bass. Great for section work or jazz. Here are the measurements: String Length: 42" Body length: 45" Top bouts: 22" Bottom...

I'm thinking of getting a warmoth body, but am looking at a different pickup and preamp set up than the ones they offer. I like some of their finishes, but I'm not sure how difficult (or possible) it is to rout pickup cavities and not damage the finish. I have very minimal woodworking skills...

Can anybody with any experience with these give me their opinions of how the low B strings respond and sound? Thanks Matt

Forgive me if this has already been asked; I did a search and didn't find anything. I had an idea for something similar to the Stu Hamm Urge bass, but instead of single coil J's, dual coil J-buckers. I would like it so that each pickup could be used independently of each other or in any...

My arthritis is getting worse and my 35" scale basses are getting to be a bit much for me. Do any of the larger manufactures make 5's and 6's in these shorter scales? I know I can have one built, but I want to explore all my options before I spend that kind of cash. If you know of small builders...

I love the look black block inlay on a maple board, but I have no idea what the material is? What's its name and where can you find it? Thanks. Happy New Year.

Does anyone have any pics of the ASAT 5 string bass? I've heard about them, but never seen one. I didn't come up with any on Google search.

Does anyone know of any agents that match musicians to touring and/or hotel bands? Something like ProShip, but for land-based enternainment. Thanks!

I've been looking at some bass descriptions, and I keep coming across "b-type neck". I'm not quite sure what this means. I seem to recall someone telling me that it is a neck with P-bass spacing, but I'm not 100% positive. I didn't see anything in the archives, so if someone could help me out...
