Greetings fellow bass gear lovers. I thought I'd post a build thread for my next build with Cliff Bordwell. This will be my 5th 30" 4 string with him. I am building with a body of lightweight spanish cedar, a neck and fretboard of roasted flame maple, black Gotoh resolite tuners and Hipshot...

Reverb was bought by Fender's parent company form Etsy. Does this mean those of you no longer buying fenders are no longer shopping on reverb?

I’m having a bass with 3 dagstar bisonic pickups made. I’m wondering if I can put 3 volume knobs ahead of a switch. I’m thinking a free way switch might be a way to go. So 3 volume knobs, a switch, then a passive tone knob.? Anyone have some good recommendations for wiring up this...

I’ve recently relocated geographically, and after reading a recent post from a guy in a band of busy professionals and dads/grand dads that gig like 4 times/year, I started wondering where I can find such a band. I have no kids, but I’m in my later 50s and a busy professional looking for a...

Is there a dark mode setting for the site? If so, how do I engage it?

We’ve recently downsized our home, and my music studio is now one of the empty bedrooms. I am playing through Fostex TH990-Mk2s for monitoring, which have tons of bass, and am thinking about adding a bassboard. Does anyone here have one that can tell me if I can use this without disturbing...

The older GKs and SVTs get a lot of love around here. I’m not now nor ever have been a big fan. My favorite tones were from the 90s originally. 2 4x10s by Eden or trace. Trace heads. Even had a peavey head I liked the sound of through those Eden 4x10s. Now a days I really like the bergantino...

is there an AI drum loop generator out there that can create human feeling grooves simply and based on genres and styles?

Hi, I want to route a bass for a music man sized pickup. I plan to order a template. I have some woodworking experience, but not a lot of template routing. I watched a few YouTube videos and think I can do this, but I’d like to know what you all recommend for a light and agile handheld router...

Anyone able to make out the bass in the part with the guitar solo? I tried an AI isolator to no avail It couldn't do it. I love playing this song, but can't hear what's going on with the bass in the gtr solo. If anyone has transcribed it, I'd love to see it. Even if you just have better luck...

I have a 6 guitars Hercules rack. The tripod base is too big, and it needs to go in the middle of the room to be able to get basses from all around it. Until today…

I’m thinking about rewriting a bass to be able to test multiple filter based preamps. I’m hoping maybe someone here can help with the wiring required or point me to someone who can. What I have: a fretless bass with Nordstrand big rigs with 3 way parallel/series/single switches on each. This...

In case anyone is interested, I just got a new Bordwell with Turner multi coil pickups and an underhill resonant filter preamp. The full build thread and adoption pics are here: https://www.talkbass.com/threads/lowway’s-4th-30”-bordwell-build-thread.1648569/page-5#post-28894603 Here’s a teaser...

I have a beautiful fretless custom Bordwell with a piezo bridge and 2 Nordstrand big rigs all going through a richter preamp. I’m wondering if I can do the following: Install a switch that will divert the pickups before the preamp and rout directly to a TRS output jack so I can experiment...

I have a couple builds in the queue with my bass builder, and he’s kept yet worked with paulownia yet. I’m interested in lightweight builds, but want to be sure I’m not running into trouble down the road. I’m hoping to do roasted maple set necks. I’ve read things like using dowels to...

I’m wondering if anyone here knows or can make a ring that would be held in place against the bass body by the pot nut with numbers on it to identify where a knob with an indexing line is pointing? Does this make sense? Does anyone know where such a thing can be obtained?

I can see my old bookmarks from before the forum upgrade, but I can’t figure out how to create new ones. Is this still a feature?

So I’m starting a build thread for my new build starting up in a couple weeks. here’s the basics for starters: 30” Dola fretted Buckeye burl top Hipshot bridge Gotoh resolyte tuners Bartolini 2J Squared pickups Underhill Cali Dub with treble filter resonant filter based preamp. One filter per...

I was looking at the wiring guides for these pickups, and they seem to offer either 2 way or 3 way switching for each pickup, where you can choose bridge coil, neck coil, parallel dual coil and series dual coil. I’m wondering if there is a practical way to do a 4 way switch and get all 4...

I’m picking pickups for my next custom build, and I’m wondering which shape is most used by the most pickup makers? 4 string. Bartolini BC? EMG 35? Something else?

I have a lot of empty cases, as I keep guitars on a rack in my studio. I live in New England and have a non climate controlled garage with overhead storage.

I’m thinking of trying a FRFR solution for both guitar and bass using an amp profiler. People seem to like the k12.2 around here, but also would consider a barefaced FRFR cab. can anyone who’s been down this road offer any guidance? Will one 12.2 keep up with a live band in a rehearsal...

I’m looking at 2 very similar basses. Both 30” semi hollow and fretted. One with a pair of tv Jones thunder blades, and one with 3 dagstar bisonics. I’m having Cliff bordwell build these. I currently have 2 solid body 30” bordwells. One with a pair of Nordstrand DCs and nickel rounds, one with...

I assumed this could be done. But can it? I’m having a hard time finding a wiring diagram for VVT and a 3 way toggle for a PJ setup. If not this configuration, what are my options that involve at least 1 switch to isolate the pickups and 3 knobs (the holes are already drilled, and I want...

I’m in the middle of a bass build with Cliff Bordwell and looking for advice on a preamp. This will be a semi-hollow fretless with bridge piezo and Nordstrand big rigs as well. Anyone have any advice for preamps that will blend the piezo and the magnetic pickups? I’m thinking VVT for the...

I got the email. My second of four 30” builds with Cliff starts today! So excited. Confirmed the spec sheet minutes ago. All of them will be 4 strings. 3 of them will be fretted. And 2 will be solid bodies, and 2 semi-hollow. Up next: solid 4 string dola pj with barts. The top was sourced...
