A little background, I bought this early Dingwall Combustion used about 10 years ago. Great instrument, but I've always hated the factory individual bridges with the tension lock intonation sliders. A few months ago I pulled the trigger on a 1 piece bridge from Payson, along with a set of...

Through a strange twist of fate, I ended up chatting with the CEO of flat panel, audio for about 30 minutes tonight very interesting stuff, wanted to share https://flatpanelaudio.com/

Not sure how much LAG guitars is on ya'll's radar but wanted to put them on the radar They are basically using an acoustic guitar fitted with a effects processor and oscillators bonded to the underside of the top to project effects through the guitar. No external amp, no speaker It works...

Yeah Yeah - its a guitar True acoustic guitar with on board effects. I know it's real as I've played one - they are amazing. They make an ABG, but I have to say it's not ready for prime-time yet

Bass: Yamaha BBP-35 After years of running D'Addario Tapewounds I switched over to a set of the new LaBella IAM polished strings. I usually top-load, but the silks weren't lining up well with the low-b tuner/nut, so I decided to take advantage of the BBP's 45deg tru-body angle. Strings lined...

I'm getting ready to start studying gospel/shout bass... which is gonna be interesting as a hate most things related to organized religion. But, there are some truly great players in the genre I can learn from. This is very basic as a song ,I for the life of my I can't figure out what the...

Guys - hoping for some help here. I've picked up a regular gig at a bar called "The Cedar Room" in Northern CA. Nice venue, good people... over all a perfect spot for my band. But the rooms sounds awful and I'm trying to figure out what we can do physically to improve things on a small...

I need some help figuring out the origin of the upright bass My family purchased this from Stephen Derek Violins in Cupertino CA ~ 1989. It's supposedly a 3/4 scale Japanese bass. Inside is a sticker that says Cremona, and there don't seem to be any other identifiable marks. The bridge...

I've been musing for some time about doing a 5 string on a P-MM ilayout similar to the Cort GB74 Gig . The problem has always been that the 'sweet spot' for the P pickup intersects the sweet spot for the MM Humbucker with both ~ 29": from nut). Last night I realized this is all based on the 34"...

The song gets old fast... but the Bass looks interesting... I see a PJ with a Music Man-ish body and a 24 fret neck. Anyone know what this is?

Just letting folks know, Ian Martin Allison released his 3rd collection of presets this week. I bought them on Friday and am getting to know them. https://ianmartinallison.com/store He's running a black friday sale right now. I'm always impressed with how much Ian can do with these and just...

I was over at my local shop yesterday - they have a Yamaha RBX800AF (fretless) on consignment that is just awesome. Apparently these were TOP of the line when they came out - and it shows. I've never seen a bridge like this before. Its a good thing this isn't a 5-string or I'd be having...

I've known about Toy Matinee for a long time, but have come back to the album in the last couple of weeks. Guy Pratt, and pretty much everyone who worked on the project, says it's their favorite thing they ever did. Queen of Misery is maybe the best of the album from a bass perspective...

I'm looking for presents for my HX Stomp; specifically An Envelope Filter - similar to the MXR M82. There are filters on the HX, but all of them seem to be more of a synth style. I want a clean EF that give's a low side 'WAH' A Octave effect that does both upper and lower octave. I adore my...

I've been running Tapewounds on may Yamaha BB35P for the last couple of years. Since January I've been experimenting with Pitbull Gold round wounds. The Pillbulls are great, especially for slap style. I put the Tapewounds on again yesterday... man I love my Tapes. So much more subtle and...

Hoping someone has a present they can share. I just got my HX Stomp XL and have realized just how involved custom presets would be. As part of my live rig, I run a EHX MicroPOG into a Bass Chorus to recreate an organ sound for some tunes. Generally this is for playing 10ths. I though...

Vincen Garcia - I've been impressed with his social media presence for some time. Got to see Vincin live at NAMM this year. I was a couple of feet away; no edits, no wire tapping parlor tricks. Just crazy talent He's only 22 years old... which means he'll get better

After years of great product and the worst catalog known to man, Rockboard has updated and has a really cool Pedalboard Configurator. Uses existing pedals and you can add. Automatically calculates power requirements and such. What is the RockBoard board configurator? | RockBoard Been...

Just got back from NAMM - as usual there was a ton of cool stuff. Earthboard stood out. This is an absolutely brilliant design using magnets to both secure the pedals to the board and transmit electricity Rare Earth Music LLC Seriously - take a look

I know this forum isn't often used, but figured this was the place. Who's going to NAMM 2023, and do you know of any choice events? Summer NAMM was fun, but there was really no bass-specific stuff I found. This year appears to be the same. Anyone got leads?

I've always been distrustful of tube amps over the years. Too many incidents of them working poorly and being temperamental. This week I talked myself into getting a Tube Preamp. A Khan VTDI to be specific. I want to warm up my tone (into a Mesa 800+) and from what I've read everyone loves...

I'm curious if anyone has a reason we don't see basses with a P-Bass Stepped pickup in the neck position and a Music-man style pickup on the bridge? To my knowledge the only bass made in this config is the Cort GB74Gig. While it's adored in Europe, the GB74 Gig isn't sold in the US (I'm told...

I'm looking for a good tuner to support a Low B string that's easily visible in full sunlight I've been running Korg Pitchblack tuners for years, one of the few non-strobes I found that will deal with an open B without a harmonic. It's a great tuner, but the display disappears in direct...

Are there any Bass specific events going on at NAMM 2022? I'm going either way, but have heard very little about Bass specific (off the books) events. Anything?

For only the second time in my entire life, I got a 'bad string' out of the box last weekend. It was a D'Addario Tapewound, "G" that simply would not intonate. After an hour of tweaking and having a luthier buddy look at the bass to determine there was nothing wrong with it, we determined it...

My daughter, at 10 years old is finally expressing consistent interest in playing an instrument. She's small, and my standard scale basses are way too big for her. What a great excuse to buy another bass! I've been looking at short-scale. This is a beginner bass, so keeping the budget in...

Guys - I'm sad. My daughter is 9, going on 10 - and nothing I can do seems to get her interested in music outside of jumping around the house and singing out of tune. I've tried to teach her a little bass. guitar, uke, piano. She's not interested in anything she has to work at for more than 60...

Just showed up today. WOW, this thing is tiny. 8x9volt & 2x18volt, full isolated and the whole package is smaller than a Boss pedal chassis.

I'm in the process of revamping my pedalboard and am using a [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] as my foundation. Rockboard is very cool in that they are modular and a whole line of items are designed to work with them. One of the big things Rockboard pushes is the [Invalid or Expired Link...
