Have any of you ever tried to go down the rabbit hole of DIY on acoustic treatment with any sort of wool? I'm trying to figure out the best way of basically mounting such panels on the walls and more importantly - how to effectively contain the wool inside the contraption, as in, not letting...

Hey, I've got this bass at home. Very good bass, resonates and sounds like a dream. But the neck is... very thin. I have a big hand (my height is 200cm) and I've got so much room under my hand when I keep the proper finger curve on positions that it is noticeably harder to play proper and...

Hey there! I may have a funny question here - is there such a thing as amp+cab that would be both humidity and water resistant? I play halls of up to 40-50k people and you would honestly be amazed how much humidity and condensed water can gather there - not always of course, but sometimes the...

Hello guys, I recently acquired an extremely nice specimen of Yamaha BB2025. Everything is nice and neat, neck responds beautifully, etc. etc. Then the nut - it's simply set too high. Pressed on a 3rd fret, there is easily over 1mm (I'd even say closer to 2mm rather than 1) of string...

This thread probably exists on this forum for sure but... What? Why did they discontinue this? BB is the best series Yamaha has ever made, I couldn't imagine the TRB to be more popular or useful than BB. I was finally able to snatch a good deal on a Yamaha BB2025, made in Japan and can't wait...

Hey guys! I was wondering how you guys tackle the "good ole" distortion/overdrive vibe in a recording. How to maintain the "clunk" or, "definition" of a note pluck and string growl, while still maintaining a massive wall of distortion behind. Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is...

Here's something fresh for ya :)

Hello guys, I was just wondering whether some of you know what the difference in tension is between these two brands assuming equal gauge of course. Mainly I'm interested in the D'Addario XL 40-125 (5 string set) and the Elixir nanoweb 40-125, both nickel series. So I have this beautiful...

Hey guys! There's a guy selling this bass and I am pretty excited about it since I always wanted a 5 stringer in a 70's pup configuration. My question is - are there more versions of this bass or has there only been one model?

Hello guys! Normally I would not advertise my music on forums but since US public is more likely to grab the vibe of the tune, I'm gonna try my luck anyways :) Here is my newly released solo track that will later hopefully become a part of a whole album. Hope you enjoy the tune! :)

Hi there! I haven't yet found the finances to afford myself a proper pro-grade DI for recording my bass guitar so I am plugging it mostly straight into my TLA 5051 channel strip preamp which then goes straight into my focusrite scarlett 8i6. I tend to get fairly great results with it but am...

Jesus Christ! (hope I don't get flagged for being harmful to religios content again!! -> mods, read the context!) Took me a couple years but I finally discovered Bill Laurance solo work outside Snarky Puppy and boy did it make me feel excited knowing there is also League on bass badass-ing out...

Hey guys! I just brought home one of my dream stacks and indeed it kicks ass! Just thought I would show the world this since I am over hyped right now :D I came across an Ampeg V4B 1976 and the Ampeg 810 with old CTS alnico flatbacks. I wished to own the flatbacks for a while since every...

Hey guys! This thread is hopefully more a motivator for people than anything else. So my story is as follows: I am a professional bass player and I mostly gig around and occasionally teach upright and bass in music schools. 2 years ago I finally found a hobby to replace my primary hobby...

I really hate the fact that only their HD112 has switchable impedance. I am probably going to get myself an HD410 and HD210 for smaller gigs in the next day or so. Both cabs are 8 ohms so obviously, a 610 setup will be unbalanced impedance-wise. Can anyone tell me about the cabinet speaker...

Em... Please watch the vid: 5000€ is the price point. Ridiculous. But I LIKE it for some reason! I will probably never have 5k to spend on something like this though :/

Hey guys! Having a weird dilemma I never had before in over 15 years of playing bass. Spotted a set of GHS precision flats in the local music store I really want to try. Thing is, they only had the long scale + (38'') which proved to be too long at the 4th string (the silky winding goes...

Invalid Link Removed I know that if I needed it I would own one yesterday. Jesus christ this must sound like a truck.

Hey peeps! So I had the opportunity to try a Yamaha BB734 in a guitar store and was absolutely blown away by how precise this instrument sounds. Especially the 4th string is a pleasure to smack on. Moreover, it is the geometry of this guitar that really fits my bill. I am sure that there are...

As the topic title already implies, I am looking for a downsized alternative of my current gear. My current gear I use full time is: - Ampeg SVT3Pro - Aguilar Db410 - Fender Jazz Bass Elite V and Fender PBass 60th anni The rest of the gear includes pedals, preamps, which are portable enough...

Hello folks! I have stumbled upon this nice little combo and upon plugging it in I realised that there was no sound coming out of the amp. I tried isolating the preamp (via headphones) and it works, so my conclusion is that it must be the power amp. The amp has been sent into numerous repair...

I just bought a GK 410 RBH and GK 1001RB-II for almost a steal here in europe. On the other side, I own an Aguilar AG500DC and Aguilar DB410. One of them will have to go. I think it is time for the Aggie this time. Am I an idiot?

Hey guys, I know this is a bass forum but still :) Probably there is a good amount of pro mixing guys on this forum and I just thought it would be neat to ask other fellow members about certain things. What I am mainly interested in asking is: How do you guys prefer to mix the whole band on...

Hey guys. I am searching the web for info atm but haven't stumbled across anything useful. So I am turning to you guys here for more info. Is there a general rule as to which production year stingrays were naturally equipped with a 2 band eq and from which year on with 3band eq? I saw two...

Hey guys, I know this photo might not be enough but I have a pretty solid suspicion about one of my speakers in the aguilar db210 not being original. I bought it used from UK and today when I opened it I realised that the speakers aren't the same as in my aguilar db410 cab. Also, the baffle...

Hey guys, i've been searching the google for a while now and cannot get any information about it. What type of speakers does aguilar use in their db series? Preferably the 10" series (db210 and 410). Alnico or ceramic?

ok guys. As generic of a topic as this is I have a big dilemma. If you check my sig, you will see that I am a (proud) owner of Aguilar amps. They sound great and all but yesterday I tried to hook up a fender bassman tube clone. Wow! I couldn't believe the sound I was getting. Barefaced big...

Hey guys, it is clear that the barefaced 210 is the clear quality winner on this case. But the aguilars db 210 isn't slacking too much behind. I could get the aguilar db210 (with cover) and tonehammer 350 for 735£ shipping included. The barefaced two10 costs 599£ (+40£ cloth grill +cca 50£...

The title says it all. Well there is a problem though. My Jazzy is in perfect playing condition meaning absolutely no dead spots, I got pretty lucky getting it, had to try 40 different Jazz Basses though. Resonates great, sounds great too. Well this guy wants to trade me his Mayones and I was...

Well the title says it all. I prefer stainless sound on my Jazz bass elite5 and I currently use rotos swing bass 5string. The sound is really nice, I especially love the feel of the 5th string, but see the title problem. Is there a way to overcome this? Fast fret doesn't help (well it does for...

Hi guys, just sharing my happiness. I want to present you my latest bass - a frankenprec Pbass with Seymour Duncans. It was put together from multiple pieces but they all fit together like a glove. After many years of owning exclusively expensive instruments, I have decided to take a small...

Hi guys, I have a quick question. What tube would you recommend for my EBS Fafner to completely avoid or at least reduce the amount of distortion and the natural compression "boomy" type of sound when the amp is cranked up? I really want to keep my distortions as such coming from my pedals as...

Here you go guys, my "transcribtion" of Dean Town from Vulfpeck. Perhaps someone will find it useful. 98% of the notes are correct, hence my "transcribtion" thing. :)

Hey guys. I have an unusual problem. Amongst other basses I own an USA standard 60's Jazz Bass 2012. I replaced the original custom 60s pups with Nordstrands NJ4. The rest is stock. The issue is: My rig now is an EBS Fafner (blue stripe) with a JJ ECS tube replacement (this was done...

Hi guys, I opened this thread to avoid spamming the official BF club page with inquiries about the amps. I am currently using my GK 1001RB-II with this cab. I like it but I would like a tighter response which I don't get that much from my GK because the lows are so extended. I was thinking...

I am reposting this on the upright section aswell, after all we will get more Jazz related feedback from upright players :) Although ebass is a perfect instrument to play Jazz also!! :p I must say this, since a lot of jazz musicians constantly have something to say against the ebass sound in...

The real deal starts at 1:56 or so. What is this? Some people will make many stories and many more to justify this shredding adventure because he is a "genius". The most amusing justification I read in one of the comments to this: He mastered those changes long ago, he simply chose not to...

Ok guys. This will not be a short post so props to those who will take their time to read through this thing. First of all, it is VERY important to note that I come from Europe, Slovenia in specific. This information will be very important later on, no need to explain why I guess :p Anyways, I...

I think that the topic title says it all. I have a MM SR5 H/H 2007 sitting in my house not used since when I bought my 2012 Fender J. :) It's just a bigger joy playing the Fendy than my SR. Now it's sitting home and I wand to trade a bass for something else. Now there is one guy which...

So, I'm at a location where I have no option of bringing my amps to play on. Before I drive home several kilometres to get the bass and the needed stuff I must ask: - Is it possible to plug the bass (fender jazz) into an EBS multicomp for example and then plug the phones on the pedal...
