Hi TalkBass. Long time no see, kind of. Hope everyone is doing well! About a week ago I got this brand new cabby into my hands, right before my time off work was coming to an end. After a week of work and barely sleeping all first week, I was finally able to record something (don't worry, I...

The only thing I don't want is to pay for it. Close to 6k euro. Yikes.

Oh my God. @monsterthompson @Fuzzbass @el murdoque (Yes Murdoc, you are still getting tagged despite me telling you about this somewhere else :)) I am not sure what I was expecting but it was better than I thought it would be. Holy ----! is a live drummer fun to play with!!! :woot::hyper...

@Fuzzbass @monsterthompson @el murdoque Well, I done and did it. I'm in a band! :bassist: A few weeks ago, I started looking for a band. I've never been in a band before. Never played anything live with strangers either. At first, I got no bites. As it turns out, either not many people...

Horrible modification If I were to play with others... ...and they don't even have heaters on stage??? What do you wear when you play gigs? It writes itself. Great lyrics, TB!

Winter is here. I've been at home a lot. Beyond my family, working my job and dealing with the daily dose of existential dread, I was able to get my bass back from the tech. Soooo... Playing at home is great but I think I have what it takes to jam with others. I'm thinking some kind of...

Hi! This might be weird to most of you, but I just got my first two CDs on the weekend, this past Friday (I often work night shifts etc so to me, Friday was the weekend :P). I really do not enjoy the current streaming services and the requirement to be always online for most of them and the...

Hi again, Another short and sweet thread from me - this time I'm curious about cabinet frequency range. A lot of cabinets list in their specifications that they support a range of frequencies from, for example... 60Hz to 19khz or some such. I play a 5 string. B is around 30hz. If for some...

Hi TB. Recently, I've become a bit bored between working myself to death and been browsing local used sites for gear. I don't need anything nor do I want anything specific but I've noticed some... Cool gear? Being offered for sale. Like, an SWR rackmountable amp. Or an (old?) Ampeg SVT7...

Hi TalkBass. I hope you, the reader, are doing just fine and dandy during this hectic December time :) So, story time - Ages ago I had a fretless 5 string bass with Nylon Tapewound strings, which I liked very much. It had the Daddario ETB 92 strings on it with blue silks, and the bass was a NS...

Hi once again! Been pondering this recently because I have been really enjoying my SSL interface and Sommer cables combo. I think I came to the conclusion that for my use scenario, as in - playing at home and recording - an interface is the way to go, instead of having and amp and a cab. I...

I have been slowly working on trying to play a bass part to a piece of soundtrack that I enjoy. It doesn't have notation or tablature, so I am going strictly by ear and trial and error here. The piece is in C Major, it's quite speedy at 180bpm. Thing is, I can go over a part a hundred times...

Hi again. Recently I learned about the use of DI boxes. I read that there are pasive ones out there that translate the unbalanced signal into a balanced one for instruments. Question. Keeping in mind that I may never play live/I might decide to pursue that eventually, is a DI box useful...

Hi. I've been playing direct into my amp and listening back in realtime on my headphones. I've ditched my pedals and I've been going in dry with the signal being unprocessed. I am happy with my tone and the only thing I can think of would be some eventual compression, if needed. Question to...

Hey TB! Hi Luthiers :) I was curious as to what exactly a "self lubricating nut" meant the other day, so I went down a carbon-based rabbit hole in order to learn more and then, a question has popped into my mind. I haven't found much info about what the term meant when it comes to bass or...

Hi TB! I was playing my new bass today and I was playing for a good, long while... Thing is - all of my pedals were turned off and I think I do not want them anymore. Let me explain. My setup has been a fully portable pedalboard consisting of a compressor, preamp, fuzz and a reverb. I have...

Okay, I'm not sick anymore so I can post a NBD... Prepare for a long post - that's just how it goes with me and NBD threads :thumbsup: Grab a cup of coffee or another beverage of choice, some snacks and let's do this together! New-Box-Day! :hyper: The setup! :hyper: I was looking at Dingwall...

Hi! A TB challenge - I wanna see your best examples of flame maple necks, fingerboards, head plates, anything including really a tiger-like, stripe flame maple wood excluding the tops/bodies :) Either something you've owned or not, doesn't really matter. The crazier, the better! I'm looking...

This thing got shared in some circles and even thought it's in German, there are wiring diagrams and schematics that could be useful plus it has an English dictionary. It's a 500 page pdf document with A LOT of diagrams for most pickups and electronics that shows exactly how to wire everything...

Hi. Many of us spend countless hours here on TalkBass arguing over the tone, wood characteristics, pickups, the importance of using flats on your p bass and so on... But how many of you have worked at a plant actually making basses? Or maybe worked for a small custom shop? I find it hard to...

I was using the greatsword, insect glaive, gunlance... But today I unlocked this. I mean, how cool is that! You not only get to kill monsters but you get to do it WITH a bass guitar?! And you get to play some music with it, sounds kinda cool. Monster Hunter is awesome.

Hi. This is my tiny corner of the internet. Expect regular, dark and moody uploads. If you like that kind of stuff, you are welcome to stay. Mostly aiming for the bass/video game content and a combination of the two. Covers, impressions, just talking about the things that appeal to me...

Sup TB. Spooktober. The one month of the year when I feel truly alive. Ghosts. Skeletons. Annoying teenagers. Sometimes pumpkins. Wind which blows my hair into my eyes every time I go to my local grocery store. Falling autumn leaves. You know the drill. New years is too loud. Xmas is fake...

Hello :D Can you please help me figure out what this bass is? John Campbell playing for Lamb of God. Thanks!

Hiya! Don't know about you - but I am totally judgemental of you if your board/effect place is sloppy, messy, unorganized and otherwise in chaos. You got the cohones to post it publicly like that? Yeesh. Clean it a little bit. Move that overdrive so it is nicely situated next to your...

Hi everyone! Hope everyone is doing alright and that you are all ready for a NBD story. Many, many years ago... in the darkest and most cloudy parts of the UK, when I was just a wee teenage lass, I had a dream... And that dream was - to play bass. But not just any bass, oh no. I had no clue...

Hi. I do not know squat about calculating current and power draw of items, so I thought I would ask for help. I own a power bank that provides the juice for my pedals. It can provide up to 12800mHa. My pedals are as follows: 9V at 30mA 9V at 120mA 9V at 60mA 12V at 700mA Any ideas? I'm...

Sup. I have been scouring the net for my next pedal and I am 99% sure I found what I will get in a couple of days. Thing is, there is not much to go on there beyond some synth videos which do not really tell me much about this thing, the best I found was presentations/speeches by the maker...

Ugh. (good start to a thread, huh!? ) You know the deal. Your pedalboard is basically done and you're happy, but suddenly you realize there is still some space on your board if you move things around. Move that, get a cable, make it nice and clean - suddenly you have an idea of getting just...

Sup TalkBass. Pinging some peeps who were with me on the journey, thanks! @monsterthompson @Fuzzbass It is all done, you guys :) Today was the day! Today was the day of delivery of some small parts and some big parts for my "project". Actually, it was two or more things all going on at the...

Hey. I would like to sell my NS Design CR 5 Radius. The price is 1400 euro plus shipping. Europe only. The bass is in a great condition, works as it should. It comes with a original gigbag, a set of tapewound strings from Daddario, a Gruvgear 4" strap, black Schaller straplocks, tools, the...

Hi! I've been pondering a little bit about all the gear I have owned up until this point and I wanted to ask all of you a question. See, I wasn't entirely sure how to phrase my original question but what I'm looking for here is the small - sometimes insignificant to some - details. Does...

Heya TB! I have been brainstorming and considering some changes to my bass arsenal, mainly selling my two and getting one that would fit me more and take less space. You know, downsizing. Changes. GAS. Thing is, I'm not really sure which way to go - should I stick to the production line models...

Hey TB guys and gals! As some of you might know, I went ahead and replaced the nut on my fretless 5 string bass, but this hasn't completely solved my "issue", if you could call it that. The original issue was that the first/second position would be unplayable on the B string since it's so...

Hey TB! As you can see I got a problem. The new nut is way too thick. Anyone got any experience and tips on how to file it down and with what OR where can I get a new nut for this bass? The current one that is installed (the original) is too low for my liking and it limits the adjustability...

Heya! A thing I have noticed throughout my bass journey is that a lot of bassists say something akin to "I'm not good enough of a player to play a fretless" and I think that is all kinds of wrong. Just think this: If we lived in a time before the electric was even invented, you would have...

Hey! So I guess it is time to start listing my Warwick Thumb 6 string online, since local buyers aren't biting. I have really tried to love this bass. I have spent hours polishing it, putting a few layers of wax all over it, oiling the fretboard... it smells amazing, feels even better and...

Here it is! This is it! This is the moment you've all been waiting for. The officially-unofficial TalkBass fretless club! Do you own a fretless 4 string? Or maybe a 5 string? No? Is the 6 string your fretless or choice? Or by God do you have even more strings than that? FRET NOT! This is...
