Greetings and happy new year!! I unexpectedly purchased this DB over the Christmas holiday. I think (Hope) I got a good deal. I have been playing BG for many years. I also have an NS CR-4 EUB which I enjoy playing. Now that I have the DB, what information and advice can I get about this...

Hi all I have owned my NS Design CR-4 for about 5 years. I mostly play home alone. I have never played a true upright bass. I do not play arco. For most of the time I have owned this instrument, I have used the rigid stand. I have tried an upright position and have even set up the instrument...

Hey TB brethren: Does anyone know if there is an environmentally friendly way to dispose of used strings?

Several years ago, I purchased a 05 Corvette standard. It instantly became my favorite and has maintained its top place in my arsenal. I recently got the opportunity to acquire a passive 04 Corvette standard fretless. Wow!! Now these are both my number 1. (Is that allowed on TB?). I miss the...

I hear music in my head all the time. Not like a crazy sort of thing. As far as I’m concerned it’s a good thing. If I’m playing my bass, the music coming from my amp are my thoughts translated through my hands. If I’m not playing, music is happening in my thoughts although my hands might be...

My number 1 is my Warwick Corvette. Sure, it’s heavy but I love it’s snarly tone and it precise German craftsmanship. It also happens to be my most expensive bass. I also own a German car with the same qualities. Coincidence?

I use a different strap on every bass. Is this common? (I’m guessing so) Or does anyone out there use the same strap and move it from bass to bass? Or does anyone buy the same strap multiple times?

I bought a Phenyx Pro wireless system PTG-11 to use in my living room. I sit about 15 feet from the amp and receiver. When I use a 20 foot cable, my sound is quite clear. (I use no other electronics in my signal chain. When I use the PTG-11, I get the same volume but fuzzy distortion. All...

I’m usually play BG. About 2 years ago I bought a used US made NS CR-4. I have tried getting right with this thing in a vertical, DB type position using both the stand and the end pin. I just can’t get comfortable. So, I changed the stand to hold the bass in a more sideways position, very...

So I’m visiting my daughter and her family for an extended duration (expecting 2nd granddaughter!!!) and I’m need a musical outlet…..badly. So, I decided to buy a new to me bass and of course, I need an amp upon which to noodle. Sterling by Musicman Sub series stingray 4HH in olive and a 25...

As we have all witnessed, a post for advice on gear, technique or anything usually devolves into a list of random and often divergent individual preferences. But even when there is a clear majority opinion, like the almost universal hating on ABG’s voiced on this forum or the fanatical love...

Hey everyone I’m thinking about getting a new amp but not sure if I need one. I am not a performer. I play mostly by myself with an ABG or a Warwick Corvette through a 20 amp Peavy microbass. I live in an apartment so I keep the volume at 3 or 4 so as not to disturb the neighbors. Ive played...
