There is a new guitar and bass pro shop just outside Bethany Ontario, near Peterborough, or rather about an hour from Toronto. Stellar looking shop, with slews of guitars, basses, and amps, like Rickenbacker, Deusenberg, Phil Jones, etc. They are in an unusual location, but make no mistake...

I have one. I have had it for a while now. I have only played perhaps two acoustic basses, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. I am just curious if there are any other owners out there, and what your thoughts are on it.

I would like to have some fresh setup values for bass. It seems that there is much less information on the internet in this regard than for guitar. The bass in question is 34" scale, with 50 70 90 110's, with the E and A tuned down a step, for most of my playing. I only play with my fingers...

Yes, naive question(s) I know. And to think I have been playing guitar for decades, but rarely in a band, or with a real bassist. Now I am teaching myself to play, so I can record a bit. If so, any preference for model?

Is string bending a bona fide technique on fretted bass?

Buying a new basspreamp for direct recording is not in the cards right now, but I do have an ADA MP-1 guitar preamp. I think the ADA MB-1 is considered a decent bass preamp, and I was wondering if there is anyone here actually using an MP-1. I do know that there are some differences, like the...

It seems Rotosound indeed makes a nickel wound string in a gauge I want, called Rotobass RB50 (50 70 90 110). It's a trick question because I cannot find any decent reviews on these strings. These are unsilked, and thus cheaper than the Swingbass RS series, but Rotosound was not quite clear...

I have done lots of electric guitar work, but I have only ever disassembled the one electric bass I own, a mutt, with a Godin neck, and a somewhat precision copy body. It has one P and one J pickup. It's been years since I worked on it, but I did put in a Bartolini precision pickup and a...

I play mostly in an open tuning, DGDG, which means the E and the A are tuned down a whole step. My strings are very old, and have a slight rattle when I tune down, so I am in the market for new strings, because I think the core might be separating, thus causing the rattle. Because I tune...

Hello TalkBass members. This is my first post. I am a long time guitar player who through necessity, has to play bass to record music, since I have no band. I can hold my own with sufficient work on a given song, and I have a healthy respect for the special skills and demands on real bass...
