I have an "abused" bass in which I found my sweet spot for the G&L MFD humbucker pickup, approximately in the MM position. The tone is great (very clear mids, tight yet sufficient bass, relatively hot), but I lack the very highs from this position. Even changing to other pickups (P of various...

Hey all, Can I achieve this with the switch shown? If not, which one should I get? I wouldn't mind having this using two smaller switches that just require a driller. I actually have two (4 lead each) humbuckers and plan to do the same for each. This will allow for any combination of the 4...

Hello, I wish a luthier (preferably european) to construct this bass for me: Adam Harzuf- Custom bass project Please PM your answer. Thanks for looking! Adam

Hello dear bassists, I had the SR1300 in the past. I loved its feel and looks very much, as well as the tone soloed (was just lacking of some bottom end). But in a band context the midrange was just not cutting it like my other basses (Sire PJ, Fender Marcus Miller). Anyone has a comparative...

Hi, is it possible to use this switch and trimpots to create: 1. Neck 2. Neck and a bit of bridge 3. Both 4. Bridge and a bit of neck 5. Bridge If so, how? Thanks! https://m.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_5wegschalter.htm

Would it be possible with this and a couple of trimpots? If so, how? https://www.thomann.de/de/harley_benton_5wegschalter.htm I would like to avoid rotary switches, as I can't change my settings fast enough. Thanks for your help!

I spent an afternoon in the music shop, looking for an interesting new taste of a bass head. I am going to cut it short - I'll give an opinion of how the amps compare totally FLAT, played fingerstyle with Human Base 4x OC with flatwounds, Ibanez SR2400 into a Glockenklang 15" and a Mesa 15". My...

The silk is light blue on both ends of all strings. They have a bloomy chords tone, sustain and finesse when soloing high up the neck. Thanks!

Anyone knows which one they are? (mine have a black silk on both sides of the strings) I like these strings! The bass sounds superb right out of the box :) Thanks Adam

Hi Guys, I made this only partially scientific test about noise levels, and how the amps sound when clipped. Bass- Warwick Corvette short scale passive. EBS now sells a similar version to the Reidmar - the Reidmar 500. Same watt ratings, but some minor differences I didn't get into. I think the...

At the moment playing on GHS 7700 compression wounds on Cort Action JR 30". About GHS pressure wounds: Great fat sound with enough highs for slapping. Awesome smooth and inviting feel Quite similar tension in E A D, but G is a bit too stiff. A bit too variating in tone in D and especially G...

Recorded with Cort Action Junior. Soapbar dimensions: 114 x 39 mm. I love the bass for playability and wish to keep it. Old stock strings but not rusty (I'd like to keep that approach and work around it) The bass was EQ'd a bit: a push in the 800Hz and 80Hz. What am I looking for? 1. Smoother...

Hello all, My bass is the very short scale Ibanez Mikro (~"29 neck!), equipped with graphtech piezo system, mags out. I live in India and it's humid here, and rust gathers up quickly I have 2 problems: A. a dying E string (different varieties tested), but sometime almost out of the box. This...

Hi folks, I need someone's help with an eBay auction that went a bit wrong. My friend often visits the US and brings stuff for me (I live in Israel). It makes bidding for US only items possible. This time, he couldn't get his hotel info on time, so now I'm stuck with a seller that must...

Hi, I've been a live sound engineer for about 5 years now, and I thought I'd share some insights about FOH and monitor tuning to date. I went through different phases of how to tune loudspeakers, being also a bit of loudspeaker designer, and I would like to share my thoughts about the pluses...

Personally I'm interested in a strong bass/mid-bass and treble response.

Hi, This will be my first attemt with a bass body. It will be a hollowbody mahogany bass with acoustic guitar Western Red Cedar soundboards, however, the top will be covered by a pepperwood burl veneer. I'll also add white binding on the top's contour. I don't have a dust controlled...

Hello all, I always prefer the punchy lows from my bridge pup and the sweet highs from the neck pup. I was thinking about trying to mildly filter (6db oct) some highs from the bridge and some lows from the neck, so perhaps I'll get an interesting tone from both. Usually (%90) I play the...

Hello, I have a BTB675 with monorails and I would like to install an ABM piezo monorail instead. The plan is to narrow down the (huge) string spacing and have variable spacing as well - constant string edge to string edge spacing (about 15mm). This meens I will have to drill in the horizontal...

Hi, I heard the 700RB head in a rig with one of GK's 1x15 cabs (can't remember). Best rig I ever heard! Must have, must have! But it's expensive, darn... I'm looking into the Backline series. Leaving the power issue aside, what is the difference between this line and the other lines? Why is...

Which drivers does Gallien Krueger use in their cabs? If anyone knows about a specific model for a specific cab which is available, please tell!

Hi! I won an eBay auction for a bass neck. The seller only ships to the states. I thought a friend of mine could recieve it and send it to Israel (where I live) , but it won't happen. I would highly appreciate if anyone could recieve it for me and send it over. I can pay back in PP. This...

I bought a neck of this bass, and wish to add a bubinga body to it. Can you please measure the thickness of the body along the neck line, and how high does the neck rise above the body (in the middle of the neck's width, where it ends) Thanks! Adam

Hi! I'm on a tight budget and wish to know if I can get close to the sound of the Warwick thumb. I never heard the (good) old ones, the one I played was one of the news (Ovangkol body, is it?). It's an amazing bass and I liked the sound of it much better then anything on the planet, and the...

Hello guys I have a peavy fury bass with Seymor duncan SPB-2 hot pup. I'm not too hapy about it being inconsistant in tone, and some of the lows are not very obviously "singable" (call it musical or whatever). I also have a very nice Kent Armstrong Jazz pup that is not installed. In order...

Hey guys I've decided to give a shot to the Hot SPB-2 for an old Peavey Fury USA model I got for free from a friend. I would like to match new electronics (I'ts hard for me to believe they are to good in there) for it. Does it require a pre-amp? I'm cool with passive sound, and I prefer...

Hello! I didn't play for two years, and I want to come back. I got hold (for free) of an old fretted Peavey Fury 4 that a friend of mine had for a few years with nobody playing it. It's a USA model, P bass clone, bridge seems simple. The neck seems quite alright (no arc bend), and is seems...
