    New gear section?

    The new site is looking good and is now noticeably faster than it was right after the upgrade. Has the new gear section of the home page been retired? I’m on a mobile device and haven’t been able to locate it.

    Hearing a low pitch hum

    For a couple of years now, I’ve been hearing ultra low frequency droning on quiet nights while laying in bed. It’s so low that it’s a borderline physical sensation as opposed to something I’m hearing. It occasionally jumps up an octave for a moment or two. I’ve tried to describe it to a few...

    New Mesa TT-800 hiss

    Last night's rehearsal at the drummer's house was the maiden voyage for my new tt-800 amp. My Mesa 1-12 cabinet is on backorder so I used my Euphonic Audio 1-15. I was surprised at the loud hissing and light humming when I turned it on - like white noise with subtle 60 Hz underneath. I...

    Headstock/neck joint

    Blasphemous, but I don't know if there is a term more proper than scarf joint for this design. This is a neck on a Mensinger bass that I just ordered. The joint jumps out at me visually, but I'm fine with that. I don't have any basses constructed like this and I just want to make sure it...

    No longer available NS Design CR4 Radius Natural Satin

    This a great sounding, great feeling bass that's not getting used. It's a mwah machine. I've recently moved to short scale and I'm getting rid of my standard basses. It's in fantastic shape, but it's not perfect. The anodized headstock is scratched on the top edge, there's a shallow pencil...

    Picking up my defret tomorrow

    I bought a new SBMM short scale Stingray that I dropped off to have some work done after having it a week or two. The bass had a little neck dive, but the neck felt good and the workmanship was surprisingly tight. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow afternoon. New bone nut, new hipshot...

    NOS EBMM Reflex

    Just in case you’re kicking yourself for not buying a new Reflex, there’s still time! I took this at Dick’s Guns and Guitars in Upstate NY this weekend.

    No longer available NS Design CR4 Fretless for short scale fretless

    Great shape other than two scratches on the anodized headstock and a shallow pencil tip sized ding in the right thumb area. Tried to get it in the picture. Bathroom scale shows 8.5. I’m moving to short scale and would like to find a good fretless. I could do cash on either side depending on...

    Neck dive fixes?

    I’m about to receive a bass I want to keep that may have some neck dive and I’m thinking about my options. It’s a sbmm short scale stingray. Maple neck and fingerboard. if lighter tuners won’t do it, what options are there? For people who know what they’re doing I mean. Is routing a...

    Coating a fretless neck for protection?

    I’m not sure this is the right place to ask, but a couple of posts in Scoops fretless fretted thread have me curious. I have an NS CR Radius 4 fretless that I bought new and haven’t put too many hours on. I’ve spent more time with it this weekend than usual and I think it might be getting...

    EBMM Sterling switch

    Suddenly with no lead up symptoms, the center position on my EBMM Sterling switch acts like a kill switch. Not in the good way like the recent TB discussion. Any ideas how to troubleshoot? Thanks

    No longer available EBMM Sterling for short scale Stingray

    I bought this, my first EBMM new this past January. I love it and it's easier on my hands than my old main - 2000 Warwick Thumb BO, but I think I'm going to be moving to short scale. The sounds and the fit and finish are great so I'd love to stick with Ernie Ball. I've never played a short...

    How to not sound old?

    I'm not an accomplished composer by any stretch but was happy to accept the challenge when a non-musician friend asked me to come up with music for a new podcast she's working on. Right now it's a quick, two section tune that consists of a programmed drum track and clacky finger-picky bass...

    Comments per page

    I looked in browsing preferences, but couldn’t find a setting to adjust how many comments show up in each page. My first choice would be to have one long page for each thread, but that’s probably not realistic without a terabyte of memory for the active topics. Are there any options that I’m...

    Can you play teen town?

    I’ve been playing the verse with my warm up exercises for a year or so now. My tempo is improving, but at a glacial pace.

    Intonating

    I just got my 4 string EBMM Sterling put back together and I’ve got an intonation issue. The open E is dead on, the 12th harmonic is dead on, but the 12 fretted is very flat, even when bottoming the string to the neck just behind the fret. How do I resolve it so that all three are in tune...

    How do you decide that a take is good enough?

    When you're not working as a hired gun and aren't burning through tape thanks to DAWs, how do you decide what is a keeper? Along those lines, is there a point where you decide that playing through an entire song with an acceptable live take isn't going to happen in a reasonable amount of time...

    EBMM Sterling Pickup Glue

    I bought a new EBMM Sterling this winter. I love the sound, I love the neck. Unfortunately there was a rattle when I played an open E that I just couldn’t identify. I assumed it must have been the truss rod. Joel couldn’t have been more accommodating so I sent the bass to Cali for the tech to...

    Warwick Thumb bo splitting

    Hi, Newb to the forum. I’ve been enjoying it for a couple of months. Hope I’m posting in the right section. I have a 2000 Warwick thumb bo four string fretted that I’ve had since new. It’s got a lot of time on it but I’ve taken care of it. At least I thought so - wax it once a year or so...
