Just a quick post to entertain and inform . Had an idea of building an EUB . Had one before and liked the general idea . I have played a doghouse bass before and love it but the practicalities , storage and transport of it have put me off . That , and the fact I would have to leave home at the...

Thought I would search the hive mind for some info . Any ideas folks? It is huge and sticks out from a standard gig bag by a couple of inches . All I have come up with so far is possible a Fender FB1225 or the Gator G-PG . I am hoping the latter fits as I have taken a bit of an ebay gamble on...

Anyone using one of these ? I bought a couple of the piezo ones to put 2 acoustic guitars without preamps through the mixer . Astounded by the clear sound of them . Input impedance of 7.5 gigaohms and a 3db gain . Have just ordered another of the non piezo ones with impedance of 1G and 3db gain...

A quick backstory behind this project . I use a Markbass 801 for rehersals with small acoustic folk band . I love it for its sound and form factor , a lot easier than schlepping a head , cab , cables etc . For outside performances that need more volume , I have been using a homemade 112 cab and...

Always been a Rotosound guy . Electric/Acoustic guitars , banjo etc etc etc . All my basses are strung with 88 tru bass Rotos . Even have a set of extra long 77 Jazz bass for new bass . I picked up a brand new Yamaha BB734a with the intention of taking it home to fit the 77s to it , strung...

I have a spare neck that is going to be converted to a fretless , headless . Last fretless conversion that I posted on here I used a richlite board which was my choice for this latest neck , but before I pull the trigger , I thought I would open it up for any ideas . I have considered english...

This subject comes up fairly regularly on these forums , so I apologise if this is not the solution for you . I play with an acoustic group of folk musicians on occasion and normally use a small Markbass combo or PJB briefcase . We had a once a year event before covid that restarted a few week...

I thought I would throw this out to the TB hive mind for some advice . Had the briefcase for just over two years so not under warranty . I absolutely love it and it lives in my office and is used for rehersals and small gigs . A few months ago it was left turned on while running on the battery...

To start with , this is not meant to be having a pop at pedals , preamps , active basses , cab sims etc , etc . It is merely my thoughts on my set up and philosophy of bass playing . My setup for live performance or rehersals is always the same . Bass straight to amp , tone knob (if fitted )...

A quick background to this project . One of my first builds of a bass , some years ago was a walnut bodied J bass with piezo pickups . It was fitted with a cheap no name J bass neck from ebay . Eventually swapped for a P bass neck as I realised that I preferred a thicker neck . Hence one surplus...

Anyone want to try and give a long time lover of frets their best definition of this mysterious , ephemeral quality of the fretless bass . There seems to be a fairly non specific application of the term from a lot of posters . Any examples would be helpful as would recommendations for setup ...

After a bit of research on here , and a hankering for something a little different , I purchased a headless bridge and headpiece from Andre Passini ( I believe he is a member here ) . Firstly to say the man is a gent and from first contact via email , to getting bridge delivered to UK from...

There is no shortcut . Sell all your electric basses and put up with having to cart around an instrument the size of a small car . I like to think that I can get a reasonable sound out of most things but even a piezo equipped hollow body with HPF etc aint going to cut it . The electric bass...

Reading this forum in depth over the years , it seems that the two most complained about aspects of the electric bass are neck dive on lightweight basses , and dislike of basses that are over 8lb or so . It seems to me that neck dive is always going to be an issue if you insist on a super...

Anyone have any recent experience on ordering PJB stuff in the UK ? Out of stock stuff seems to be taking an age to come in and distributor keeps adding weeks to the lead time .

Thinking of buying the above . Most playing is done through a PJB briefcase as it is self contained with its battery . Volume levels are fine and tone is superb in my opinion . Mostly played with assorted like minded individuals in back gardens , village hall once a week and occasional gigs in...

Waiting for new P bass body to be delivered . In the meantime....... My walnut body piezo only J bass has roto tapes My Jack Casady also roto 88's I have a set of 88's ready for new P bass ........... I feel a calling for jazz flats . You may have noticed that I am a fan of roto tapes and I am...

First post here . Recently bought a Geezer Butler passive P bass pickup from EMG and wanted to change the tone cap to 0.1uF . I searched here and across the internet and could not find much so did it myself and thought I would share it . For those who don't know , the plug and play pots from EMG...
