I really like the Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass but the problem is the strap peg is located at the neck heel so there is always a bit of neck dive. So I guess what I am looking for is: 1. Semi-hollow 2. A Longer upper-horn(at least touches the 12th fret) for the strap 3. around 42mm nut...

Does this bass exist as a production model? Fretless(prefer unlined fretboard) Semi hollow or Hollow Body Long Upper Horn(as long as it reaches the 12th fret so no neck dive) P Bass Nut Width(41+mm) 4-string Most semi hollow basses I've seen had the really short upper horn that I don't like...

Have been wanting a 33" scale 4er with a 41-43mm P bass nut width. Never got the luck to come across one, don't wanna go for a custom one either cuz I might end up not liking it. If anyone has a bass that checks the boxes pls let me know thanks.

Hello. What Japanses-made Fender Precision basses have a 32" scale length and 42mm nut width? Thank you!

Hey guys do y'all know any basses like the Andrew Jackson' Fodera and Thunder cat's Ibanez signature models? They both have THICK bodies that make that very resonant sound. Thank you! Washburn AB40VSK Cutaway acoustic bass - Vintage Sunburst...

Hello can anyone recommend me a 5-string fretless with a Semi-hollow or completely hollow construction? The only basses I know that check the boxes are the Ibanez SRH505F and the Spector Core bass. Would like to know more, my budget is around 1k USD, definitely no more that 2k. Thanks...

Hey guys I kinda like the muddy/dark Thunderbird sound when playing with a pick but hate the guitar's ergonomics. Is there another option that comes with two mud-buckers and better ergonomics? The Epiphone Embassy looks like it's gonna have less neck dive than the Thunderbird due to the longer...

I like the semi hollow fretless sound like the Jack Cassidy and the Warwick Star Bass. However, most of them are short scale with big round bodies and really short upper horn. I'm looking for fretless basses with a conventional body shape and lacquered fretboards. Thank you!

Spector has a very comfortable body design, the all rounded edges, belly scoop, etc. However, why don't they make the upper horn longer to prevent neck-dive? As well as the distance from the edge to the bridge, the bass will be more balanced if there's not a lot of space between the bridge and...

Hi, most medium scale bass guitars out there now are equipped with a J neck, such as the Ibby and Jaguar. What are the ones with a P-bass-ish neck? Let's say a nut between 40-42mm. I only know one that is the Fender Stu Hamm signature Urge bass, wanna know more, THX!

Anyone know what production bass that comes with the combo of these two? Thanks!

Just found that the new model from Serek bass, The Grand, has an on-board fuzz switch and it's passive. Also saw this website talks abt passive distortion Onboard Distortion Without a Battery? - tonefiend.com What effects can be integrated to a passive bass by messing around the circuit? Thanks.

John Myung's MM signature bass has 15.5mm string spacings at the bridge. Are there any other basses that share the same specs? Thank you!

Thanks!

Is it good? or, does it function properly like a normal bridge? Thanks.

Hey guys show me your Lightweight bass! I know Sandberg and Strandberg makes basses that are under 7lbs, Ibanez EHB is weighs a bit heavier but still very good weight. G&L used to have the Empress wood body option which reduce the weight a lot. My Gibson SB-350 is the lightest bass I've ever...

Hello I'm looking for a bass that has a P bass or MM Stingray type of neck(wide at the nut), a 3-band preamp onboard, but also priced under $700 new. Does such a thing exist? I've tried a Sire V7 but couldn't get used to that slim J neck. Yamaha BB734 is a good option but it's a little bit out...

Hi. Sadowsky and Atelier Z make J basses with smaller and more contoured bodies. Do you guys know who makes P basses with similar designs? Warmoth offer the Dinky P body but it looks awful imho. Thanks!

Hi, I'm looking for a bass with the features below: New condition. P bass like nut width, 40-42mm. I like necks wide and thin, so a wide nut with thin neck depth would be an ideal combo. I really dig the feel of 5 string Ibanez SRs since they're wide and thin but I'm more looking for a 4er this...

I've seen these on many Warwick Fortress basses and I think It's a great design. Does anyone know what the strap buttons are and how to install them? Thank you!

I know the Ibanez SR and EHB have 19.5mm at 1st fret and 21.5mm at 12th fret, Yamaha TRBX is about 1cm thicker. What other 5ers also have paper thin necks? I wish the Geddy Lee has a 5 string version but sadly there is none

I know Warwick used to have thin necks before 2000 then they suddenly had thick Ovangkol necks. When did the neck change happen? What is the neck profile like now? How about the Rockbass line? Also, is the Fortress model the only model that has the long enough upperhorn to avoid neck dive? How...

Hello. I used to have an old Warwick Streamer 5er from the 90s, it had a skinny neck and very tight string spacing --- 16.5mm, and the nut width was around 44 or 45 mm, I can't really remember. I dug the dims of the neck a lot but it was all Wenge so the neck was super heavy. So I wonder if...

Hello. What's the fastest and easiest way to tune a 4er to BEAD without the need to change the nut? I'm thinking a headless bass might do the trick because unscrewing the headpiece is easier than changing the nut but I'm not sure. Thank you!

Hello Are there any P basses that have rounder bodies like the Yamaha BB VI? The Sandberg California VS is not as round but looks good too. I somehow find the precision pickup looks good with rounder body lol. Please let me know, thanks!

I recently got a 1999 5-string Warwick Streamer and it plays pretty well, the neck is much thinner than the later models. I like the tight 16.5mm string spacing and it's 4-string like skinny neck a lot. However, the bass has some serious neck dive because of the wenge neck and I don't think it...

Hello. Are there any basses that would still maintain a good sound and tight string tension when the E string is detuned to D or B? I suppose a multi scale 4 string would be able to do it but the longer scale under the E string makes me afraid if a longer reach. How about a reverse headstock...

Is there any neck thru basses with 24 frets that you guys recommend? I prefer a very skinny neck with 4 strings, 5 is ok too. Thanks!

Hello. I just found that the MIM Geddy Lee Jazz Bass has a "thin C" neck but the American Professional Series has a "slim C" neck. What is the difference between the 2 neck shapes? Has anyone measured the thickness of these two necks yet? Thank you! Invalid Link Removed Invalid Link Removed

Hello. I personally like low fretboard radius like Fender, and also the skinny profile of Ibanez. So, what do you guys think about a neck with 9.5" radius, 38mm nut width, and the neck thickness like an Ibanez (1st Fret: 0.76"/19.5mm, 12th Fret: 0.84"/21.5mm)? Are these features gonna make an...

Hello. What are the brightest sounding flatwound strings? GHS Brite Flats? Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt? Please help me out here. Thanks!

Hi. Has anyone heard or had any experiences with the Moonshie custom bass? I saw this listing on Reverb, the bass looks in a very good condition and the price is very appealing for a custom bass. I think Moonshine has an account on TB but he got banned somehow? Anyway, if anyone has any info or...

Hi. I just bought a Fender Mustang Player PJ bass(30" scale) with a top-loaded bridge. I noticed that the E string has less tension and is much floppier than on a regular bass. Is there a way to fix that? Maybe get a string-through bridge? Thanks!

Hello. There are multiple Fender Mustang basses on the market right now: The Player Mustang PJ, JMJ Roadworn, American Performer, Vintera, The CIJ Japanese Reissue. Although I haven't tried any of them yet, I did find several differences among them according to my research: The Player Mustang...

Hello. I'm looking for a headless bass with a 30" short scale that isn't too pricey. The canoe paddle shaped ones aren't my thing, I prefer something that still looks like a guitar. I've found 3 basses that fit into the category but would like to discover more. Here's what I found: -...

The Vox Apache bass has a built in speaker and an onboard drum machine, I wonder what other basses have the similar design. Thank you.

Hello. Do you guys know any production basses that have a 32" scale length and headless design? This combo sounds like the max playability and portability to me. I know Kubicki is one of them, and also Maruszczyk Frog could be 32" and headless, too. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of luthiers...

Hi, does anyone know any basses that have good ergonomics? I found the twisted neck design(see pics) on Torzal basses are quite interesting but they are so darn expensive! Maybe there is something on the cheap side that also provides good ergonomics? By ergonomic, I mean a comfortable neck and a...

Hi, does any one know any custom bass luthiers that won't charge you over $2000 for a 4-string bass? I'm looking to have a headless bass custom build for me but so far I think Tom Clement is my only option, his 4 string starts at $1450. Do you guys know any other luthiers that can make me a...

Hi. Just wondering if the DB bridge on a Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Bass is going to be a direct fit on a XZ-2. pic 1 is the XT-2 and pic 2 is the XZ-2. Thanks.
