It's here! I ordered this little charmer back in October, and it finally arrived! Isn't it cool?

The bass has very little use, and is in like new condition. I'm the second owner, but I have the original documentation of the purchase from Charlie Chadwick. I have several pictures at: Chadwick Folding Bass, and I can take any additional pictures as requested. Chadwick Folding Bass by...

Is anyone doing this? https://standingoproject.com/ I signed up as a fan to support some friends, and there's lots of great music on the site. I don't know how many "fans" have signed up, but if you have music to post it's free.

OK, I know that most of you TBers aren't big fan's of short scale basses, but this is the catch of the day. It's a 16 1/2" smallmouth Bass, and it's the first one I've caught this season! It's in great tone, and lots of fun to play!

I went to practice today, and I found that the neck joint let go. It doesn't look like it's a big deal, but is this the kind of thing a home handyman can take care of, or should I take it to Upton Bass? If I do it myself, does anyone have a recommendation for the type of glue to use? If I...

For those who aren't familiar with the term, Ship-fitters is the condition where you start out with a simple project, and since you have that part of the car apart anyway, you might as well do the next project. Before you know it, rotating the tires turns into a break job, wheel bearing...

I tried a search, but couldn't figure out what to search for, I wasn't getting any hits. I just bought one of the Fender Modern Player Dimension IV basses. It has a passive 3 coil pickup, and a 5 way selector for different combinations for the pickup. I tried it in the store connected to a...

Hi All, I'm sorry if this was covered before, but I did a search, and found tons of hits about strings that are high or low tension, but I'm wondering what causes the tension, and how to pick strings for my bass. I have a Stingray classic, and after reading some of the threads I've tried a...

The job was to play soothing music at a wedding ceremony. Simple… Right? The Bride wanted two songs Cannon in D going down the isle, and I won’t give up (Jason Mraz) after. I was going to play bass and run the loop pedal, my brother was going to use his Synth/guitar setup. We practiced and...

I'm sure this has been covered a million times already, but I think I need remedial instruction. I'm trying to connect a compressor, Loop Pedal, Chorus, Delay and a recorder. How do you decide which ones get connected before the amp, and which ones go in the Effects Loop? My guess is, the...

Does anyone know if they work together? My brother has one, and he uses it with a Carvin Nylon string guitar that has a built in 13 pin synth connection. He wants to upgrade to a Roland GR-55, and give me the "hand-me-down" GR-33 to use with my Godin A4 Ultra. (not bad since he's the little...

It was actually last week, but now I have a stand, so I could get a decent picture. It's a Chadwick Folding Bass, and it's my first double bass. This thing is cooler than cool!

I don't know if anyone is looking for something like this, but I was checking these out a year ago and they were $350. I ended up going with the Boss version of the same thing, and I've stopped using my computer for recording, I just use it for editing later. Pocket Studio

Hi all, This fall I met one of my music heroes while traveling, and we really connected. As a result, I've been invited on a week long tour with him and another musician that I've heard of. I was told that they would "welcome a double bass player" to jam with on the trip between stops and...

That's right! NEW CAST DAY!!!! Yay! It's been eight weeks and three days since I broke my left wrist and forearm. (The day after I got my Godin A4 Fretless back from getting set up) Today, they took off the cast, and put on a new Half-Cast that lets my fingers move, and I CAN TAKE IT...

I was clearing up some fallen trees in my yard today, and I found this Cherry burl. Most of the tree had lots of rot, but this burl is solid all the way through. It's 26" wide, and 30" long. I made the mistake of cutting it in half, thinking it was rotten. The figure in the wood is...

Hi All! For some bizarre reason, I have myself convinced that I want to learn to play the Dog-House. I haven't mastered the bass guitar, but twice a year I go to Bluegrass fests and I would like to bring a bass. This looks like it would be easy to travel with, folding-bass Do you think...

Hi All, I just stumbled on a set of D'Addario Nylon Tapewound strings. I put them on my Fernandes Nomad travel bass, and I really like the way they sound! The Nomad is a short scale and has a Piezo pickup, and the difference in tone between the heavy round-wounds it came with and the medium...

I was messing around tonight and cranked up the 1960's era amp, and I suddenly started getting loud static out of it over the sound of the bass. I tried moving the cable to the 2nd channel and even removing the instrument cable entirely, and I'm still getting the static with nothing connected...

Hi All, Today's stupid deal of the day is an Ashdown 30W Little Bastard head for $399.99 Deal Get them while they last!

Wow, this is an interesting one... No need to put tape on the back of the neck... The frets go all the way around!

So, GAS kicked in and I bought myself a Boss BR-800, and so far I'm liking it! It took less than 5 minutes to figure out the basics, and I was able to record a quick tack. It's no more difficult than Reaper, and the FX are much better. It also has a built in drum machine which is pretty easy...

So here's the story... I have a travel job, and I meet lots of really fun people on the road. One of the people I've met on the road is a talented artist from Seattle. I've recently introduced the artist to another friend, and she has offered to paint the face of friend #2 onto the body of a...

This is my favorite Bluegrass band of all time. The band is called Yonder Mountain String Band. The woman playing the UEB isn't a regular member of the band. She was incredible, and right after she finished her song, the regular bass player grabbed the bass, and then Phil Lesh joined in, and...

I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but here goes anyway... I stumbled across a website that has lots of good quality backing tracks for Guitar. They seem to be free to download.Link Removed Does anyone know of a similar site for Bass?

Anyone looking for an amp? Musicians Friend's stupid deal of the day is an Acoustic B200 head and a 4 X 10 cab for $299 http://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid/

Invalid Link Removed Is that just a looper pedal with a mike and bass plugged in? I may try this at home!

Just don't step on it in you bare feet! Link Removed

I've been looking at the posts string to figure out what recording software I should learn to use. Right now I use Audacity, and I only use the absolute minimum, record, cut, export to MP3. Yesterday I picked up one of the Saffire 2i2 interfaces and it came with Ableton Live Lite 8. My...

I just couldn't help myself. It looked so sad sitting there on the wall... So I took it home! I now have a new toy, but I don't have the manual for it. I was able to find the Quick Start Guide on the Line 6 web site, but not the owners manual. The bass came without the "special cable,"...

Hi All, I have a Genz Benz Streamliner 600 connected to a Focus 210 cabinet. It's had a fantastic tone until today. Now the tone is so muddy, that I've had to turn the bass, treble and mid all the way down, and it still sounds like those big sub woofers they put in cars. No tone, just...

I'm looking at an Ampeg B15-N tomorrow after work. Why do they call it a flip top? Is there anything I need to know before I buy? This thing had a transformer replaced 15 years ago, and it had a 3 prong power cord added recently. I've played with one using a vintage J bass and liked the...

Please, please, please! I'm so desperate for an upright bass, that I'm thinking of buying this charmer! It's 100% made in America (of Taiwanese patio furniture parts.) I got to play it at the Winfield Bluegrass Fest this year. and both strings (A and D) play perfect! There is even a...

OK, so I was in the small town in South Carolina, and I saw this in the window of the local Music shop. The guy took a Bass neck, pickups and bridge and screwed them to a Strat copy. He sell's them! This is Redneck technology at it's finest!

Does anyone have a recommendation for a basic recording setup? I would like to be able to record a couple of people playing (instrument and vocal) so maybe something that could record 4 inputs at a time. I would like to be able to take the output from the effects loop on my amps, pedal's...

I'm trying to find some new strings for my Stingray Classic. The bass came with Super Slinky's, but I'm not really impressed. There's too much finger noise and they are too bright sounding. I bought a set of D'Addario Half Rounds that I thought were "Super Long Scale", but they turned out...

Hi all, I have a question about recording using a Boss RC-3. I connected it to the effects loop on my GB Streamliner 600 so I would get the equalization from the pre-amp. It does a great job looping, but when I try to use the WAV files it creates, the volume is so low that I can barely...

My brother is coming to the house today to play, and I always enjoy his visits, however, he always leaves with more than he brought! (it's an ongoing theme since we were children) The last time he was here he absconded with one of my Snark tuners. This time I'm ready for him. I tied a...

Hi all, I have a Fernandes Nomad that I take on the road with me from time to time to entertain myself after work. The amp sounds great plugged in, and it's OK using the built-in amp, but there's a bit too much treble and not enough oomph. I was wondering if a better speaker would help out...

I lent an amp and a bass to a friend and I just got them back today. They are both covered in a yellow slime from cigarette smoke, and they stink so bad I don't want to bring them into the house. I can deal with cleaning the bass, but how do I get that small out of the amp? My guess is the...
