I am thinking about downsizing my rig. I currently have a Traynor Dynabass 400W head and Traynor TC410 cab. It's plenty enough for my needs right now playing punk in two different bands, competing with either 1 or 2 guitars. I play in small to medium sized venues and I usually play with the...

I have a nickel allergy (watches and belts cause rashes) and I believe it has now progressed to me being affected by my bass. Recently I have noticed that my hands are getting bumps and rashes after I have been playing and I believe it is because of the frets on my bass (Epi Tbird ProV). I was...

So the thread about why it seems everyone plays Fender got me thinking, what brand would be considered to be in second place for being most common/influential across the board besides Fender/Squier (under the assumption that Fender is in top spot)? What would it be? EBMM, Ibanez, Gibson/Epi...

Like most people, I loop the patch cord over the strap to prevent it from ripping out of the jack if it gets stepped on. Normally the cable rests between the soft part of the strap (typical nylon strap) and the body of the bass and I have not had any issues. I have recently switched to using a...

My problem might not actually be a problem but I would like some advice to know if what I've done is wrong or improper and if it was the cause of the problem. This situation is this: While learning to do setups myself (I have minimal experience with fixing/repairing basses), I noticed that my...

I noticed a weird rattling sound coming from inside my bass when I moved it around so I decided to open up the back panel and found that the preamp board inside is not secured to the body anymore. It was originally attached the the top of the cavity with velcro and now the glue has dried out on...

I am having trouble getting the G and D strings to intonate properly on my 5-string epiphone tbird. They are still flat and the saddle is as far forward as it can go without the screw falling out. My first thought is that maybe the bridge is installed too far back. Would this be the case or...

After reading through lots of guides on doing setups, I finally tried to do one myself and have not found a way to get the bass setup exactly as I would like. I have had no problems with adjusting action and intonation (fairly simple) but I have always been afraid of neck adjustments since I've...

I have a 5 string epiphone thunderbird and the slot in the bridge where the ball rests is too narrow for the final wrap of the B string. The string is a d'addario 0.130 and the string just fits through the slot but the wrap near the ball is just a bit wider and wont fit in the slot. I can tune...

I have two main basses i use (godin bg4 and epi tbird) and there is a huge difference between the string bounce and sustain. They both have older strings on the with the same gauge. The epi is a neckthru and godin a bolt on. I know this is probably the main reason for the difference but i have...
