I have the Labella 760FM 109-49 on one of my Fender Precision basses. Great set, but the G string just has a bit too much give to it IMO. I would like something stiffer. I was thinking about using a G string from the Original 1954 Labella Set, but it's not easy to find singles for that set from...

Before anyone suggests it, no I do not want tape wound strings. Any other style of string is fine though. I'm looking for a 4 string set with around 175 lbs or so of total tension and in something close to the following gauges: E .110 - 35 lbs A .90 - 45 lbs D .75 - 45 lbs G .55 - 50 lbs It...

Especially curious which one has more balanced string to string tension...... The bass is passive V/V/T/T, so also wondering if both strings would have similar grounding issues or if there is a difference between black and clear tape in that regard....... What about overall volume? Is there a...

Banshee Invalid Link Removed IMO they made a mistake with the string thru body bridge and the price. Guess they wanted to compete with the Mustang.....I like it though

I have an old bass with a stubborn neck that doesn't like getting it's truss rod tightened, so I'm looking for a cheap, easy to obtain NPS string that is a bit lower in tension and will allow me to keep using the same guages.

I bought a very old bass and everything is great EXCEPT for the fact that the truss rod took ALOT of strength to tighten by 1/8 of a turn. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have forced it, but the neck play better now plus the instrument was only $200. I have some questions about how to deal...

The Ant Is this new for NAMM? 200 watts micro head that can fit on a pedalboard list price is 300 pounds.

I already searched on talkbass, but I didn't find all my answers. I just want to make this bass as versatile as possible cause I like how it feels. I'll probably add a bridge pickup one day, but for now..... D'addario black nylon tapewounds 105-50 vs. Labella black nylon tapewounds...

All are in the $200-250 range. FYI The Dean Edge is not one of the cheap entry level ones, it's from the late 2007 and built in Korea with a 2 band eq and has an Amberburst finish. I've only played the Dean Fretless and Squier Fretless Precision. I like them both, but the Dean has Rotosound...

I found a used C20 for sale locally that has peaked my interest because it's being sold for under 200 like a typical C20. However It has a gold bridge and tuners which I've never seen before on a C20 and it looks stock. It's equipped with EMG pick ups that look stock also, but could be after...

Got a 2008 Ash bodied FSR Fender Jazz with a pretty flat radius rosewood board yesterday. I typically don't play passive jazz basses, so I don't really know what to string it with. Its strung with D'addario XLs right now and I don't really care for them on this bass. Nothing against D'addario...

The new premier Mustang or whatever they call it has given me hope that one day Fender will do this or maybe a normal precision version. I just dont like P/J configurations

Thinking of giving tapes a try again maybe. I have a p bass now, so it could be a good match. I've never used either one of these brands, but they both are cheap and get rave reviews. I've heard Fender's are rougher feeling (does this still hold true for newer versions made by D'addario?) and...

We all know about the stuff hard to play flats such as the Jamerson's, but what bridge cable rounds have you come across? I used GHS progressives exclusively for years and thought they were pretty stiff for what they were.

Have some Rotosound jazz flats on my bass that I bought a month ago, not sure how old they are since they came on the bass. They were definitely broken in though. I liked them a lot, but now after a month of heavy playing they have started feeling grabby and almost sticky. Is this something that...

Looking in the 75 and under range. That pretty much leaves me with Dimarzio DP122, Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders, SD Hot and SD Vintage.... I'll be upgrading the stock pickup of a 1980s MIK Squier with some well worn Rotosound flatwounds. I just want a clearer, more articulate, more open tone...

Not bad for $200 out the door. Neck is by far the best P neck I've ever played it's not even close. Already strung with Rotosound flats which I'm pleasantly surprised by and the finish has aged nicely. The body is pretty light though and I noticed a part where the finish was chipped and the...

Just got a P bass today and I like the flat wounds a lot. After doing some research it seems only brand flats with red silk on both ends are Rotosound (not sure which guages have them though) and THI Jazz Flatwounds. I've never played either before, so no clue. I can only feel the windings on...

Want to get back into flats and was wondering cause it seems like most of the more balanced feeling ones are lighter gauge from my experience. Prove me wrong!

So I've been talking with a guitarist that is selling a 2007 Fender American Jazz Bass he got from his former bass player a while back. After taking a closer look at the pics these things stuck out to me: Serial number is from 04 not 07 No string thru body typical of this era Looks like a...

The American Professional series has taken over and 2016 was the last year for the beloved American Standard series. For those of us that will be navigating the used gear market to grab a MIA standard down the line....what are the best year models to look into?

Found a guy with one about a 3 hr drive from me, so can't just pop over and try it out. Just looks rough cosmetically. Electronics and hardware work well and it has zero feet wear since it has just been sitting around for years apparently. Worst part is the guy had clings on it that we're never...

Or have they always done it with two? I can't remember.

Thinking about grabbing a hofner, but was wondering what the tension was like on these guys? I'm talking about the 96-39 set. Also would you consider the tension to be somewhat balanced across the set? I typically use Daddario XL balanced tension sets and was wondering.

Wasn't sure where to post this. I'm using a TC electronic BG250 combo and an older Peavey Millennium 5 equipped with dual VLCs and an EMG 2 band preamp. It is definitely a modern sounding bass and my understanding is that the pickups are similar to what they put in the Cirrus line which is a...

Thinking about grabbing a mustang or hofner. Both require something a little longer than short scale strings since Mustang ha string thru body construction and Hofner is a 31'' with strings that need to get close that tail piece. I would love to use D'addario's XL balanced tension sets since it...

Was thinking of getting this combo, but would like to know best ext cabs to pair it with 1st. Obviously 2x8 cabs aren't common.

Which of these small, lightweight, but powerful combos would you pick? TC has the toneprint stuff (I would make good use of the Spectracomp) and the Ibanez has the option to use an extension cab, so you can make better use of the 300W it puts out.

Had my bass professionally setup after relocating to a place that has a very cold winter. Intonation is a little wonky up there which is to be expected on E string, but g/d are a little more off than I'm used to as you get closer to end of fret board. Not enough to notice I don't think and...

This is what I'm looking for: New or used, but in excellent condition Solid state Enough power for small to mediumish gigs and church Capable of operating at 4 ohms with one cabinet Built in tuner Built in compressor, not just an on or off limiter Very simple eq layout with a few easy to...

The catch is no split precision pickups allowed.

People rave about the fretless jazz squier makes that resembles jaco's bass, but you don't hear about the precision version. Anyone have one?

If I were to purchase an outboard preamp pedal with enough gain to drive a poweramp could it be used with one of the new powered cabinets by Gallien-krueger or will it only work well as an extension for an MB combo?

This young man is incredible. Best pick player I've ever seen. He had to have switched over from guitar, his picking hand is that good. He plays with a group called Jonathan scales fourchestra

Not expecting zing or glassy top end, but if they are as flexible as people say slapping should be comfortable and expressive right? I would like to hear some clips if anyone has any. Really would like to have an idea of what they sound like slapped before dropping that much money.

So I had my 4 string bass setup for detuning a while back which included a nut filing to accommodate a .120 string. I've decided to go back to typical bass string sets. If I purchase a typical 105-45 or 100-45 set do I need to get a new nut installed or is the extra "wiggle room" that my new E...

See this on a used bass I'm checking out can anyone provide any info or specs? I'm familiar with 2 band bts system wondering how this compares and if it has internal dip switches or anything extra.

Man I played a 4 string used one in guitar center and was really impressed. Neck pickup is a tad to close to the neck for my liking, but tone was way better than expected. Has a great neck thru construction too. Is $299 a good price for one of these? Wonder what the 5 string is like and if...

About to post one in classifieds, but I'm not sure what year it is..... USA made serial number is #10546382 so it is after 1995 It is loaded with VFL pickups, not super ferrites and has a circular string tree that A and D strings go under.

This is a good unit for you guys that want some cool drum sounds, are interested in basic synthesis and sequencing, or want to dabble in beat making. I'll even throw in a free 61 key midi controller. An Evolution MK-461C made by m-audio Here is a video that will help you understand what it is...
