I have a Greg Bennett Corsair MCR-1 sub-short scale bass that I wanted to sell on Craigslist. One guy called me about it and was all set to come look at it, but then he texted me and said that after getting advice he decided that if he ever needed or wanted to change strings it would be hard or...

I have a Guild acoustic bass guitar. I bought some D'Addario half-round strings for it, and the G string is so much brighter than the other strings that it practically sounds like it is made of different material. Is there anything I can do about this?

I was reading the information about the Gold Tone ME-Bass, which is the solid body version of their Micro Bass. Their web page for it mentions that they have collaborated with LaBella to create a flatwound string called "MBLS MicroBass LaBella Flat Wound Strings". I would like to know if these...

It was recommended to me that I get GHS Pressurewound Bronze strings for my acoustic bass guitar, and I'm looking into it. I have a short scale ABG, and it looks like the Pressurewound Bronze strings only come in one length. The package says "37.25 Wind". Is that the string length? In any case...

The phosphor bronze strings that came with an acoustic bass guitar that I bought were too bright with not enough bass, although they were nice and loud. I bought some tapewound strings which sounded great but muted even when I just played it with a couple of guitarists in a small living room. I...

I am wondering if the guitar finger caps that you see advertised sometimes would help me with a particular problem I have. I tore a ligament in the little finger on my left hand several years ago and although I had surgery on it, it doesn't bend right and the tip is crooked. Sometimes my little...

I bought a Guild B-240E acoustic bass guitar this week via mail-order. I played it through an amp this morning, and I'm very disappointed in how it sounds. The lowest string is an order of magnitude louder than the highest string, with the middle strings falling between the two extremes. I tried...

I would like to try using tapewound strings on my bass. I read that some tapewound strings are wrapped on roundwound strings and some are wrapped on flatwound strings. Is this true? The web pages of tapewound strings on the various manufacturers' web sites don't say anything about what their...

I have a Gold Tone Microbass that came with Thundergut polymer strings. When Gold Tone came out with nylon core Silverback strings I put a set on my bass. Gold Tone recommends that you sand the peaks of the bridge a little bit when putting on roundwound strings so the strings don't get caught on...

Short description: I am looking for a short scale acoustic bass guitar that has steel strings. The ones I am looking at are the Spector Timbre Junior (Invalid Link Removed) and the Luna Tribal (Invalid Link Removed). What do you think of these basses? The backstory: I used to have a huge Ernie...

I bought what I thought was an Ernie Ball Earthwood acoustic bass guitar about 40 years ago. That's what the tag on it in the music store said. Now I'm not so sure. According to this <Invalid Link Removed> it has right size and shape and is made out of the right woods with the right kind of...

For those of you who have played a Gold Tone microbass, how loud is it? Is it, for example, loud enough to be heard in a jam session with two guitarists in a medium sized living room?

For those of you who have sold a bass, especially an acoustic bass guitar, on eBay, through the TalkBass classifieds, or some other way, where you had to ship it to the buyer, how did you do it without risking the bass getting smashed up in transit? If the bass has a hard case, I can see how you...
