I just happened to go on the GHS page for bass strings and discovered the Bassics are no longer there; instead, they have this new thing called "Solidwound Bass Boomers". What is going on? https://www.ghsstrings.com/products?categories=bass

I've just come across with this Stingray 5H that belongs to one of the church campuses I regularly play at. It's been sitting idle in their closet for quite awhile with nobody to play it. I know very little about Stingrays, so need your help with some basic info on it. How old would it be...

I just acquired my third Jazz. 2011 American Special Jazz (right, acquired Apr 2024) 2014 American Special Limited Edition Sandblasted Jazz (center, acquired Nov 2023) 2008 Highway One Jazz (left, acquired July 2009 as my first bass)

I just picked up two used Peavey basses at my local dealer. But I know very little about them, except one is Peavey Cirrus and the other Peavey Millennium. Just wondering if any one could provide some info on them as to their approximate age and how they fit into the whole Peavey lineup...

G-K MB200 + Ampeg 610 = $200 CAD. I think I did okay... ;)

Five weeks ago, I was having coffee with my local bass buddy, who was talking about wanting to sell off a few of his basses in order to downsize his herd. And this particular bass was one of the ones he mentioned. It so happened I was looking for a good deal on an American Jazz bass as a...

Ever since I acquired my first 5-string bass (Yamaha TRBX505) 5 yrs ago, I've been GAS'ing for one of those Yamaha BB PJ's. BB735A is the model that was at the top of my shopping list for a few years, but due to the pandemic, money was tight and it never materialized. Then a few months ago, I...

For those who care about such things, here's the updated GHS Tension Guide: (Courtesy of @Jon Moody) http://www.ghsrep.net/uploads/2/2/2/5/22258814/2020-ghs-bass-guitar-tension.pdf

I checked into the D'Addario website recently and found out it's been completely re-designed. One odd thing I noticed was the diameter and tension info on a lot of the bass string models was only showing in metric (mm/kg) instead of the usual inch/lbs. So, I contacted the D'A Customer Care...

Can someone tell me what the exact length of the tapered part at the ball end? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Not much as been discussed around here about GHS Bassics as their existence is somewhat overshadowed by their big brother, the Boomers. As a huge fan of GHS and their offerings, I thought I'd give them a test run as part of the string quest for my Yamaha TRBX505 (active 5-string HH). Since I...

I'm not in the habit of showing off my gear very often, the main reason being I really don't have anything worth showing off. ;) That said, I'm rather tickled about my latest acquisition, not because it's anything earth-shaking or mind-blowing in and of itself, but because I managed to do it...

Hi Leland, I really don't have any specific questions for you, but wanted to share something with all the bassists who hang out here to learn from you as a mentor and a role model. One of the things I've always enjoyed is reading/watching interviews where you reflect on your career openly and...

Here's yet another new offering from GHS! Invalid Link Removed

Hi Leland, First off, thanks for your regular participation in this forum! I'm a former singer/guitarist (think James Taylor ;)) in my younger days (age 16-32), who discovered the joy of bass at the age of 52 after a 20-yr musical hiatus. Just turned 60! My question has to do with the...

One simple question regarding the effects loop feature on the Traynor SB500H... If I were to plug my VT Bass DI into the effects return for the purpose of bypassing the preamp section of the amp, would the master volume control on the amp itself still be functional so I can control the stage...

I've already posted about this in another thread, but decided to do something I rarely do, ie start a new thread as I'm not able to contain my excitement at this point. I was initially turned on to the Fender 9050 flats a few years ago after reading posts by @iiipopes raving about them as to...

Hi Lee, Just wanted to let you know how delighted I was to catch you on TV at the John Lennon 75th Birthday Celebration tonight! Great work on your Warwick Star Bass! :thumbsup: One curious thing, though, was what looked like an Aguilar rig you were playing through. Can you tell me a little...

Hi Lee, First off, let me tell you how much I've always enjoyed your work with Phil Collins! Every time I feel "uninspired" about my own bass playing, I take some time out and get a healthy dose of the great work you and Phil have done together, and I'm ready to press on again. What would I...

Hi Lee, A couple of questions about the 1972 Jackson Browne album (mistakenly called "Saturate Before Using")... Was it your '62 "hippie" Jazz Bass used on that album? What kind of strings did you use on that bass? Thanks for being part of this community!

I would like to get some feedback from those of you who use (or have used) the GHS Pressurewound M7200 (Medium, 44-62-84-106) for down-tuning, specifically Eb-Ab-Db-Gb and D-G-C-F. I really like how they look on paper in terms of the tension numbers (see below), not to mention the fact their...
