Hey all, So i've only been on my transition to upright for about 4 months now... Playing in tune isnt my problem, what happens to me if i play a few Psychobilly style songs with alot of single slaps, i get tired and end up playing sloppy. I was wondering, is this my endurance on the...

Hey all, So, the bass in this video seems to be a 1/2 size, but thats it for me, I have zero idea of what it is.. Anyone who could shed some light on it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Jackson

Hey all, So.. I'm in the process of getting my '81 Mockingbird back on the road... or stage, i should say. Previously it was in a Black Metal band, haha. So, The strings on it were THICK, However, I'm wanting to take it back to standard gauge. The nut, as i've measured is a 42mm. Standard...

Hey all, I'm looking at getting a bass shipped from US to Aus as stated, ive done this a few times before via Music Farm, Ebay, Etc.. But this is off a person.. The bass is in a hardcase, so i'd imagine that saves packing it. Usually i get basses over here around the $135 mark? What companies...

Hey all, Well, Kinda worried now to say the least... I have spare tubes on standby luckily, but just to clairfy, i think it sounded pretty bad. I warmed up my ad200b, plugged my active P bass into the active port, forgot the cab wasnt hooked up, flicked off standby, and hear a loud click...

Hey all, So my bass tone i have for myself is alot of treble, bit of mid and bass, and gain at lunch time. I understand i need a pedal and some tweaking for this tone, but what do i do and where do i start? Should be pretty obvious for which part of the song has the bass tone for what i...

Hey all, So, I know limited about double basses, but this question should be very easy for the right set of eyes. Double bass players like in The Living End, Stray Cats, Koffin Kats, Tiger Army, Zombie Ghost Train, etc.. All use 3/4 size basses, So i was under the impression 3/4 size is the...

Hey all, So as of recent, i've acquired two new basses... well, new/old. I traded my '04 Epiphone Les Paul Standard bass for an '08 Fender P Bass, Mexican. And i recently acquired an '85 BC Rich Mockingbird. I installed EMG's in the P-bass. I'm unsure of what pickups to install in the BC...

Hey all, Getting a double bass soon, and a friend of mine told me there's a possibilty of it blowing my amp up.. I thought he was joking/didnt know what he was talking about, but you can never be too certain.. Anyhow, I'm using an Orange ad200b MK3 head with an Orange 4x10. While im at it...

Hey all, So i decided to put some active EMG's in my P bass, Turns out despite what i've heard, i really, really cant manage to figure out how to fit the battery under the pickguard? Could someone describe how it fits? I'm thinking at this point i need to route the bass a bit, but i don't want...

Hey all, Alright so i know this sounds like a Noob question, but truth is, i've just never had any experience with heads and cabs. So, Basically to the point - I bought a 4x10 and a head to match. They're both without chords/leads. It says do not use guitar leads, which i wasn't really...

Hey all, So there's an amp i'm pretty keen on and have cash ready to go. The problem is, it's an American Amp and i live in Australia. It comes with a step down transformer, and by logic, thats all it needs.. right? Is it just as simple as that though? Amp -> Transformer -> Wall I just wanna...

The video i made is a comparison of my Precision and Jazz pickups. Both tone full, first just the Jazz, second just the Precision. Is something wrong? Or is the Jazz just supposed to be quiet like that? Seymour Duncan Jazz, Fender Standard P. Jackson

Hey all, So recently, well, not so much recently, but in recent times ive decided to ask someone about it. I play with a pick, primarily, and when i play for a solid few minutes, my thumb muscle, i think you'd call it, which is holding the pick, down ear the palm of my hand gets really sore...

Hey all, Just a thought, or maybe its because i listen to alot of punk, But is it just me or are Thunderbirds not actually that common? The only time i really see them these days are at Local Gigs.. I know a few players who are big names with them, but thats just it, a few players. I own...

Hey all, Recently i have stumbled across an Epi LP Standard Bass, Black, Chrome pickups, 4 tuning bots, cream binding, nice bass. It comes with a raggered hard case, but the bass is on the other hand really, really tidy. It's Korean made which caught my attention but i don't recall the year...

Hey there, Found a set of apparent genuine fender pickups, P style. I'm in need of a set since i have the current wrong pickups for my Aerodyne (Active EMG P Pickup if anyone wants it, Still sealed in box). So, Basically the standard Fender Pickups are what im gonna buy. My plan is once i get...

The apparent March release has been a let down to put it lightly.. And it's also been removed from their website.. Seems like they canned it for whatever reason, to me. What are your thoughts? My theory is they're redesigning it, so that they can release a more affordable SS amp.. Since their...

Hey all, So, There's a 1991 Orville By Gibson bass im pretty keen on. The thing is, while i can afford it, it's damaged, Typical Thunderbird problem apparently. I read about a firebird getting repaired the same way so im a bit more optimistic about it now, which is good. Basically, the...

Hey all, As most of you know, recently orange released a Solid State 1000 watt head. It's called the OB-1k. It sounds awesome, So i'm pretty well sold on buying one. HOWEVER. I read somewhere that you shouldn't play them through a cab under 1200 watts.. Or maybe it was even 1300. I...

Just released, i'm keen to hear the sound, What do you guys think? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I check the site alot.. and that wasnt here yesterday! Jackson

Just wondering how many are out there, as it came to mind, that a Punk band, yes, a punk band, from Australia i've seen a few times, Slaps, Picks and uses fingers.. all really well too. I personally prefer pick playing, but it's interesting to see all three used throughout a set... What...

Hey all, Looking at buying an Ampeg 8x10 from the states, as everything here in Australia is stupidly over priced. Sure, i'm for supporting the local, but not when they charge twice the amount i can get it for in America. So, I was thinking, How much would freight be for moving an 8x10...

Hey guys, I'm getting rid of the split Dimarzio pickups in my Aerodyne bass. Theyre too low and no mids. Right now im not sure which pickups to get, I'm aiming for a Rancid, Guns n Roses, Municipal Waste, Punchy kinda tone, And would like something nice with a good tone around the mids...

Hey all, As of recent i've been asking numerous questions, hah. However that comes hand in hand with new stuff. Eg - Going from Esp to Fender. Anyhow, I'm getting a new amp within the next few days, And i'm stuck between an Orange Crush CR100BXT, or an Ampeg BA-115. I run a Fender...

Hey all, I've recently had a problem ive noticed with my amp. I'm running a Fender P/J Aerodyne through a Hartke b120 2x12 amp. On the A/D/G strings it sounds fine, really nice tone, similar of Duff Mckagan, as thats the tone i go for. But then i go the e string, When i attack, per...

Hey all, A buddy of mine has an ESP Set Neck bass, The truss rod has just been discovered to be threaded. What would be the ideal way of going through this? eg, What can he do to adjust the neck? Jackson

Hey all, Excuse the lack of posts, i just lurk here mostly, and well.. A friend once told me "Think about what you're gonna say, think if they wanna hear it, then decide whether or not to say it" Well.. Explains the post count, ha Anyhow, To the point, I recently Purchased a White...
