It came stock with EB 45-100 Super Slinky's. I have a couple of sets of flats that I may consider trying on it. D'Addario Chromes and Rotosound 77's. Do you think this would be a good bass to use flats on? There is nothing wrong with the strings that are on it. Just wondering.

I have a Warmoth 54P build that I absolutely love. The playability is awesome. The True Custom pickup is sublime. It is currently strung with Ken Smith Bass Burners, which sound good, however I think this bass deserves flats. I just ordered Roto Jazz 77 Monel 45-105. Do you guys think they...

Are they still in business? I have sent several emails over the past few weeks with no response. No phone number on their site. Trying to find out the proper rest for a Ray34 and a Warmoth 54P. Is their anyone else that does a zero mod thumbrest? I just really don't want to put screw holes...

I bought a set of Jazz Flats for my Jazz bass. They will never come off. I got a new Ray34 and was looking for something a touch different so I bought a set of Jazz Rounds. Good Lord, these things are in a class by themselves. I did have to adjust the truss rod and action to get rid of some...

Just a quick question...do any of you have experience with the Fender Flats 9050L 45-100 strings? I want to try flats on my Vintage VJ74 Re-Issue as I think flats are the sounds in my head when I think of music from my childhood. And Pitbull had them on sale with taxes and shipping for less...

I am a bad guitar player that is jumping into the deep end. I currently have an LTD B50 FM as a bass and it seems to be an okay bass for someone like me. It plays nicely and sounds great to my ears. But, like everyone else, I have gotten GAS. I have a MIM Fender Nashville Telecaster (not a...

I am a hack guitar player. Realized I was never going to be the next Buckethead or Yngwie so I have turned to bass in order to channel my creative energies. I am a fat, bald, 59 (almost) year old rockstar wannabe. I recently acquired an LTD B-50 FM bass which surprisingly sounds and plays...

I am just getting into the low end of things. What is a pre-amp used for if you have an amp? I guess this is probably a stupid question but I honestly do not know.

I have been toiling away for several years trying to learn guitar. Had to quit in 2017 due to some personal tragedy and had to sell all my equipment. I never really got guitar. Fast forward to present and I recently (last week) got me a bass. Watched a few vids about chord tones, scales and...

I am a failed guitar player at 58 years of age. I kinda understand theory and know scales but cannot translate it to the fretboard to make it musical. However, I have just acquired an LTD B50-FM bass that is quite playable and sounds rather good. Any advice you guys may have as to where to...

Which style of playing would you consider inherently better, easier and more controllable for a beginning bassist coming over from guitar (picks) Would it be easier to transfer skills acquired on guitar with picks to the bass and then work on fingers? Or are there really no advantage or...

Being new to bass, I keep seeing posts about long scale, traditional basses (P and J) as well as short scale (Mustang bass). My question is this...I am coming from playing guitar. I also like low end thump. Would the short scale basses like the Mustang and the Talman TMB30 give me the low end...

As I posted several days ago, I am new to bass but have been playing guitar rather badly since 2012. I have been researching threads, checking ebay, CL and FB marketplace to find the right first bass. As far as price and specs, these two basses appear to be at the top of the "cheap" bass heap...

I am new to the bass, having played guitar, not very well, for the last couple of years. I would probably be playing rock, blues and metal with maybe some P&W songs as time went on. What is the difference in sound between a P bass and a J bass? I know the pickups are different but which one...

I am new to bass, just getting started. I have been playing guitar a while, albeit not that well, but have always loved the bass for the groove. I am starting from scratch but have some guitar equipment that I could make work for now I think. I have a DM cab with a 12" Peavey Black widow...

Been trying to play guitar for years...not quite getting it. But was always a bass lover (honestly because of Geddy Lee) Now, I have recently started listening to a band, Riverside, and the bassist is doing things I did not even know a bass could do. I think the bass is a much better fit for...

I have been trying to play the guitar for quite awhile and know all of the basic scales, patterns, and some theory. However, I saw a bass player this past weekend in a P&W band that was using a simple set-up...(cheap Ibanez bass and Peavey bass combo) and he and his tone were outstanding. I...
