I have a Warmoth Jazz neck on a parts bass (it was all the spare bits I had and made a nice bass). The neck I've had since 2009 and took a spoke shave to reduce its chunk about 2010. It's still somewhat chunkier front-to-back than, say, my Precision Lyte or ancient Tokai, which are very...

Didn't there used to be a club thread for this, or am I just not using the search correctly?

Inter-universal Teichmuller (with umlaut) Clearly some sort of sci-fi/krautrock band. Cybertronic Spree meets Scorpions Group Theory Math rock

I have a Harley Benton Enhanced P as a practice space backup. The original owner had put in a Glockenlang two band I didn't care for the EQ points of, although it did have a useful push-pull passive. Instead I put in a cheap two band preamp. But I've decided to modify it. I have a dual gang...

I was just about to potentially get into a new band situation. Now I'm laid up for six to weeks with a leg broken in two places!

I have a Precision Player Plus. I'm blown hot and cold over it. It's my only bass with a 42mm width neck, for example. It came to me with fairly worn frets and although my fret level wasn't perfect it will take a 1.3mm action if I play very lightly or my standard 1.7 to 1.8mm (E, 12th fret) for...

No Rush ticket for me... I'm not entirely sure how I could be 475th in the queue then there be only 3 tickets out of circa 10,000 when I got to select, which vanished as I tried to hit the purchase button after selecting them. That is not a queue as I understand the word.

A G&L L-2000 was not the key to funding an uber bass to allow me to sell others - QC was problematic and the sounds were not impressive. Good, but not stand out. I might have been doing it wrong. I've toyed with a Stingray and even revisited by youth with a Westone Thunder 1A with a Magnatone...

I'd like to be able to put an interface in my home rack and connect my Proteus 2000, Novation Circuit, Alesis DM-5 and a couple of other sources and output via headphones, speakers and one other output. But being able to take it out and record 8 tracks simultaneously to record live performances...

I've been suffering from a dry throat lately in the house and I mostly work from home. I've noticed a bit of fret sprout on a couple of basses. In theory I have a hygrometer... Somewhere... But I think my basses are telling me that my dry throat is lack of humidity.

I need to tidy up the garage before I go further... The neck is first. Three piece. The wings on the centre are a bit oversized but they were going to be part of a window frame which I had mismeasured. Thanks to @Bruce Johnson for hints

I'm relearning my own stuff from 30 years ago :).

That's as straight as I can get my left hand ring finger. I've played touch American football three times and broke a finger twice. This was the first time - ball bounced off the end, and a bone splinter severed the tendon and then it was badly splinted so it never reattached.

Two basses. One feels like it has a bigger neck somehow. So I measured and the bigger one is a whole 1mm wider but the same girth... I wonder what I'm noticing. It must be quite subtle.

I have a few, in particular Native Instruments Guitar Rig but didn't keep up with version upgrades. I also have Positive Grid BIAS FX 2 and the CS versions of IK Multimedia Amplitude 5 and Tone X with a few extra amps, and of course a NAM plugin. The cost of Guitar Rig 7 Pro outside sales is...

Apologies if this has been covered before. I have a Soundcraft Ui16, which does the job. I like to have backup options and this is something I've experimented with but not tried in anger: using a USB interface and then a DAW to control things like compression, reverb, feedback suppression, EQ...

I got it about four years ago. I haven't used it much recently but unearthed it as an alternative to turning on my big audio interface and because my main gigging options are the B3n and its little brother the B1on and if I'm going to tweak sounds it might make sense to use the B3n mode when...

I could buy one of the Ibanez, but I have a lot of bits so I am trying to be cheap. I will lay out the components when the balance has arrived, but it will be: A left-handed Jazz bass neck. I selected a left-handed one although I am right-handed to avoid getting smacked in the face with tuners...

I'm looking at starting a band but looking at the potential originals and covers a lot would need sustained bass. But I know two of the originals I wrote a few years ago (although they do need some development) I played on regular bass. But for the life of me I can't work out how on earth I made...

By default the controls are: Volume, Pan, bass and treble coaxial, passive/active, mids. In passive there is no tone control. I wouldn't mind a basic tone control in passive or passive and active, and the mid control don't seem to do much for me. Looking at the connections, electrically it...

This had a rocky ride through shipping based on the box, but all the tuners were coming out of the headstock by around 1mm or so. I'm not prepared to take a risk on what might be sloppy installation and QC, poor fit (and poor QC) or something that happened in transit. It's not an expensive bass...

I had a spare preamp so I stuffed it in a fretless Jazz bass. There wasn't space to put a 9V battery in and I didn't want to rout out the bass so I managed to get some CR2032 battery holders and run 3 in series for 9V (it actually reads 9.6V from fresh). Play time is more limited, but it seems...

Granted, some ceramic pickups are lovely, but having replaced the neck pickup in a Harley Benton Enhanced P with an Artec alnico the sound is improved. The bridge MM is fairly meh (I checked the spectrum against a standard MM and a Jazz bridge). I have previously turned a set of mediocre Peavey...

Ok, it was indistinct at times and better at others. It turned out it improved when I could see the bassist's hands (someone's head obscured them at times). Somehow my brain was filling in the top end! I had no idea that was possible.

Remind me not to watch any more of these.

Some people have complained that this sounds dark. Some have replaced the preamps. But doing some analysis recording some signals and some Fourier transforms and normalisation, it seems the stock P pickup (I don't use bridge pickups much so I have not analysed that) is 5dB quieter than the...

A year or so ago, one of John Giblin's fretless basses came up for sale. He played with various people, but this bass appeared in the video to Love and Anger by Kate Bush. This was slightly before Bush was thrust back into the limelight. I was tempted but ultimately passed as it said high action...

The logic is that I can replace two Squier Standard Precisions with the following (maybe it's gas as the Squiers are perfectly good). Then a Jazz made of bits I had left over from projects will replace the PJ at the shared practice space (it's shared as part of a co-op so not public). At the...

See link: https://www.thomann.co.uk/harley_benton_enhanced_mp_4mn_natural.htm?type=quickSearch It's a cheapy for jams/the practice room. In terms of neck, frets, finish it's fine. In terms of sound, it's muffled, a common complaint. Active and flat it's marginally usable without lots of EQ...

The fan on my Ashdown EVO Original was a bit louder than ideal on idle. It's a 12V 2-wire fan, 60mm, 15mm deep with probably not enough space for a 25mm one. The spec sheet is in cu ft/min at 26.7 and minimally about 36dB. It would have been nice if it was attached via its own Molex, but it's...

My fretless Tokai Jazz from 1984 has great sentimental value. It has some body dents (failed strap) and scuffs (seems to be nitro) and discoloration (I bought it new but it had been in a shop window for years, unsold). But the main concern is that another instrument fell on it and dented the...

I debated getting a couple of these a couple of weeks ago, thinking maybe they'd go up in price a bit and I could flip them but goodness. If I'd put a few £ into it I could probably have paid off my mortgate!

For fun, I thought I'd throw my herd thinning out to the community. Firstly, I wish I'd actually set the recording level properly - I was playing harder then usual so the playing is sloppy. It also didn't help that one of the pets was harassing me, but I love them anyway. There are four...

I'm actually considering getting rid of three basses and getting one slightly nicer bass for basically the sale value of the others. Helps with storage space too.... I must be getting old.

I scored a good deal on a pair of these. This is a first impression, and I've not gigged them yet. The logic is to have a more modular rig than using 15s which are a bit bulky. I don't need to be thunderously loud. With one 15, I can theoretically get to 121dB. Two BC208s have the same volume...

Forgive me if this had already been discussed but I can't seem to get search to work properly. I have a Behringer NX3000 which is fine for what it is, but the fan noise is annoying when idle. People have replaced fans with quiet computer fans with good success but mainly in a home theatre...

Currently, I can deploy up to 2 1x15s and an Ashdown class D head as my lightest option. I actually prefer the sound of my old Warwick ProFets, though. My first goal is to be roughly revenue neutral and have two identical set ups, one for home storage for gigs without needing to collect an...

Noodling around, I discovered that after 30 years I've started unconsciously using this. How the heck have I started doing this without even being aware if it?

I just got an EUB and I thought the scale length transition would be hard but it was a breeze. Hold on, that was in a dream overnight, wasn't it. Sleep, where I can play the guitar solo on Baker Street too. Damn...
