I got this from Rondo Music after seeing favorable reviews. However, it seems to be off. It came with flatwounds. It sounded atrocious, so I scrapped those and got a set of Fender nickel rounds. There was improvement, but the volume between the strings is uneven. The E and A strings are...

Rush Facebook likes=1,439,460 Big Time Rush Facebook likes=3,394,080 Not that I care much about Facebook, but The worst part is that more of my friends like Big Time Rush than Rush. High school girls :rollno:

Link Removed I couldn't find the most recent thread for this, so I started a new one. There was a small resurgence for the chat before Christmas, but it is once again pretty dead. Get in there.

MXR Blowtorch Sounds like everything I want. I'll post a review when it comes.

I got a Douglas 6 string fretless bass: Link Removed Anyway, it came strung with flatwounds. I thought this was very nice especially since I normally prefer flats. The problem is the B string. I have never owned a five or six string bass, so I may just be stupid. It is practically...

Hey, I'm thinking of getting the DR DDT strings in the 55-115 gauge. I want to go as low as possible with strings that are still capable of E Standard. Thank you for advice.

EMG JV, got a good deal on ebay The first thing I noticed was that my bass sounded noticeably thicker. I normally use D'addario Chromes, but I had XL's on the bass. I was struggling with the lack of low end compared to the flats. Well, these definately made an improvement. I thought there...

So I had Chromes on my Jazz and XL's on my Precision. I was not not give the P much playing time, so I decided to switch the strings around. Well now I love my P but hate my J. I lost a lot of low end and I'm not a fan of those trebley overtones. Tapewounds sound like a good option for my...

Today I got a Peavey Milestone BXP for $100 used at Guitar Center. :bassist::bassist: I love the sound, it's nice and thick. Adds some good tone to my small group of cheap basses. Pics on the way.

For the past week, I've been in the mood for music, but nothing seems to cut it. I've tried Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Isis. That basically covers every genre I listen to. Right now, I'm listening to Dream Theater because that's...

A lot of people love sunburst. I don't. I'm not against natural and transparent finishes but I just plain hate hate sunburst. In fact, I think sunburst with a tort pickguard is the worst combination out there. To make the thread interesting, post pictures of basses with colors you hate but...

Yes, I've searched and heard sound clips. I want some new pickups for my jazz and I think these would be good. I want some high end response and a lot of that focused sounding burpy midrangey growl. Some people have said that the model J's sound dark and closer to a P which I don't want...

Sorry, didn't see the other thread on this

I'm looking to get a new bass and the ibanez sr300 seems like a great possibility. I was just wondering if there are other basses that I might like more. Another thing I was thinking about is getting a bass with the proper measurements for EMG humbuckers and i was thinking I could put the...

Could someone give me an accurate and detailed description of the scpb-2 pickup? I'm planning to change the pickups in my Squier CV 50's p bass. I've read a few reviews on the pickup but one of them are quite accurate enough.

I was in Barnes and Noble and I passed by the children's section. I noticed a picture of a Rickenbacker bass on the back of a children's dictionary that was on display. I picked up and looked at it and under the Rickenbacker bass it had the pronunciation of guitar...

I tried Chromes and they're definitely the best strings I've tried yet. But they're still not the ones. I think I need a different flavor that's still similar to Chromes. I'm not really sure what direction I want to take now but I'm thinking to stay in the flats and ground wounds area. I'm...

I would like to try a string with the piano-like clarity and growl people speak of. I don't wanna spend a lot of money so keep it as cheap as possible. I'm also very picky about consistence throughout each string.

I just got a used Squier and I'm trying to figure out what strings came on it for reference. They are roundwound with red silk on the tuner end but not on the ball end. Tell me if you need anymore information. Thanks for any replies.

I hate to make a vs thread but here I go :hiding: I want new p bass and I'm torn between the CV 50's p and the VM p which I'll probably get in that new amber color. I'm not afraid to change the pickup. I'd like it a bit on the brighter side with clarity while maintaining low end. If you...

I want to upgrade my p bass by replacing the pickups. I would like something warm but not muddy, I hate mud. I want lots of low end but with clarity. A bit of earthiness while still maintaining the classic p bass tone would be nice. I play jazz, prog metal, and I'm not sure if this helps, but...

I'm looking for a very cheap bass to super mod. I do not care for hardware or electronics as I plan to replace them all anyway. I don't care if it's a separate body and neck to attach myself. I think I'll put a single coil p bass pickup with no knobs in it. Thanks in advance :bassist:

What are the differences in general tone and what are the differences on a fretless bass like mwah factor?

So I'm replacing him with a robot (drum machine) :p I'm good with making drum beats anyway No more off tempo beats :bassist:

So I've been using roto flats and I really like them but I don't truly love them. I thought maybe I need a tad bit of brightness with the warmness I love so much. I tried some D'addario Half Rounds (my first D'addarios) and I hated them. I'm not really sure why but I did. I've heard nickel...

So I'm starting a solo project but I'll be playing styles ranging from smooth jazz to more energetic blues and fast rock to slower metal. So should I just start two separate projects for the range of styles? I would also appreciate name suggestions.

mmm...bacon :smug:

I'm officially starting my first build i have wood for the neck, headstock, and body. I'll give pictures soon. I do need help on wiring. I don't really know much about so I would appreciate tips and/or a good wiring guide. I plan to put a precision pickup in it. I haven't decided if I...

So I'm interested in getting a hollow/ semi hollow/ chambered bass to help achieve the warm tone I've been looking for. I will be playing some metal with this, so something that could preferably take distortion well. Although I play modern stuff, I often use some vintage sounds in the mix. I...

My band does not. My lead guitarist is super bright, tall, and skinny. My rythm guitarist is upper average height, VERY muscular, kinda fat, semi-bright, and really creative. My drummer is very fat and big, semi-bright, and semi-creative. My singer is short, pretty intelligent, and...

Title says it all. I don't have any stories because my first band is still working on the debut album (I'll give you a link to some demo songs as soon as we finish them) :bassist:

I would like recommendations for my first pedal. I play anything from alt rock and hard rock to nu and alt metal. I would really like something to emphasize melodic bass lines. If possible, some attack might be useful but don't mind that too much. I've been looking at the DigiTech multi...

Some people say the electric guitar is better than the bass. I don't let it get to me but I want some cards to play. So please give me reasons why the bass guitar is just as good, if, not better, than the regular guitar.

Can someone recommend a cheap semi-hollo/ hollow bass and tell me the advantages in tone of having one? :bassist:
