Who sells 7 string bass sets, preferably with a set up for a low F#? I searched through the forums and I couldn't really find much. I don't exactly want to go through the hassle of ordering custom, but I will if I have to. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies.

Hey guys, I felt I needed to come to bass players for this question. This year, I have been given a 5 string Rogue, a 5 string Peavey, an acoustic Samick, a Washburn P-bass, and a Samick P/J-bass. I've also been given a Kustom 8x10 cab and 200 watt head. Now my brother is considering to get me a...

Hey guys, I'm back for a bit. Nothing like being on the Talk Bass forums again! So for any of those of who remember, I posted a few threads a while back asking about how to set up a band, how to manage one, how it all works, and everything like that. Well, the good news is that I have finally...

Hey guys! Hope everything is alright with my fellow bassists! I'd like to share with you some strange tricks that got my chops up in a short amount of time. I'm only 16 years old, I've been playing bass for only 2 1/2 years, and people are always telling me that I'm an amazing bassist. I...

What's happening, bass-heads? Now we all have to find other ways of keeping our fingers active and ready to pick up axes, right? Well, my preference seems to mostly be a) writing on this forum, or for the sake of this thread, b) gaming. I've been a gamer pretty much my entire life. I remember...

Title says it all. Share your stories about gear snobs you have met throughout your music career. I've met a lot of gear snobs, and most of them had three things in common: Looked down on bassists, unhealthy obsession with Fender, never bought their own gear. I remember the first GS I met...

Hey guys, I had a few inquiries about tapping on bass. I only really have a basic knowledge on tapping, such as tapping out chromatics, chords, arpeggios, and a few licks here and there. However, I want to step my bass tapping up a notch. Basically I am aiming for utilizing two hand tapping...

Hola brochachos, I have a bit of a dilemma. I am stringing this off from my last thread in the Basses subforum, "Peavey Grind Bass Problems?". From the discussion with some of my fellow TB members, I have come to the conclusion that the problem with my Peavey Grind 5 involves either the pickups...

Hey guys, I have been going to this blues club to jam out for a few months now. Recently I started bringing my Peavey Grind 5 bass to the jam night, but there has been a slight problem I have been noticing. Keep in mind that the Peavey is used and the previous owner abused the living crap out of...

Hey guys, I have been considering getting a six string bass for a while now. I have always been a more varied player, and I think it's time to add yet another octave of bass. So the basses I have been looking at currently include the Ibanez GSR206, the ESP LTD B-206SM, the Yamaha TRB6, the...

Hey guys, so recently some people have been asking me how to get those "sexy notes" that you would play on bass. Well, I decided to create a diagram to help other bassists who are just starting out on here how to play those sexy notes. Any fret with a red "X" in it indicates that it is a sexy...

So you guys are probably wondering, "who is that fatty down there with the glitter blue bass dressed up like a Dragon Ball Z reject?" Fellow bassists, that would be me. :hiding: This was three months ago in April for the Gulfcoast Color Guard and Percussion Circuit Championships. The team for...

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you guys out there who are dedicated to one specific brand over all others. Out of the five basses I own, none of them are the same brand. I own a Peavey, a Rogue, a Samick, an Ibanez, and a Washburn. They each work great in their own rights, but I don't...

Hey guys, thought this would be a nice time to set up a topic like this. Currently I run a Digitech RP50 guitar processor, and a Vox V845 wah pedal. Probably the best combo I can have as a bassist. I really enjoy the Digitech pedal since it pretty much fits anything I would need for a bass...

So I've been trying to get a music project started with my brother, who is a guitarist. He is a phenomenal player; a great soloist and everything. The problem, however, is working with him. He has been playing for 15 years and still doesn't know his keys. He honestly couldn't play something...

Alright guys, time for another "I have a crappy bass and I need advice" thread. I've had my Rogue LX 205B since Christmas, and it came in pretty banged up condition. Scratches on the paint job, an inconvenient "handle" that blocks the 22nd - 24th frets, a missing cover on one of the tuning...

Greetings, fellow bassists! I am 16 years old, been playing bass for about 3 years now, and I am fairly new to this website. Yeah, get used to that little exposition above when I start a thread for the next few weeks until everyone gets the point. :D Anyway, I come to you, the bass gods...

Hello, thousands of virtual friends on the internet to help regulate my appetite for bass. I have one inquiry involving live sound, and it involves three very complicated (to me) worlds colliding: Amps, mixers, and PA systems. I was wondering how the three are related, and how you can...

Greetings, all! I am Marcus, and I am a bassist in need of some help. Now, I do not know where would be best to place a thread with as broad of a topic as this, but I placed it in the most obvious sub-board: Bass Guitar. I would like to apologize to the administrators ahead of time if this...
