I struggle to play in time. I miss-time one note each minute (give or take). It's around 30-40ms too soon or too late. Here's my Polish smile video - and that's as good as it gets. I won't play closer to grid Is this reasonable for a intermediate player I consider myself? Each teacher says...

Just got my hands on a pretty easy and comfortable bass I am setting intonation and it goes well on G and D up to twelfth fret. There's a ±3 cents deviation across 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th fret But then it gets bad 15th fret: +13 17th: +21 19: +33 22nd: +45 Neck relief is ~0.3mm...

What's the good websites with temporary projects in the US? I do quality engineering in automotive and 3D metrology Where can I find project listings? Is there a market for this in the US? I found indeed.com and glassdoor.com and linkedin, but there are only permanent jobs

I found this clip on YT about playing a lick in different minor 7 keys, from C to B (or B #) What is the difference that the 7 in key name makes? The seventh step isn't sharp or flat, it's exactly ten half steps from tonic like in X minor without 7. What's the point? Is it about the chord...

My new toy, HB WB20 for mere 150$ from Thomann Neck dive as F, so a wide and rough strap is a must Finish flawless, no sharp frets, intonation up to 2 cents, not bad at all I love how affordable instruments became with mass production

My dream combo and dream cabinet would be equipped with wheels at the back and built inside movable handle, just like i. e. JBL party boxes (unless at least one meter tall, then Ampeg wheels and towel bar do the job) The control panel would be 45 degrees inclined and mount on the front...

Dear fellow all over the world I struggle to get a decent tone of low A string, no matter the gauge or make (DR, Pyramid, Ernie Ball, Harley Benton) I use Harley Benton Value .105, .085, .065 for D G C respectively and D'Addario XLB 160 for A, and it sounds weak in my ears Here the four...

For curiosity sake: how does the impedance switching in Epi DIST series work? [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Hi I had for few days a Harley Benton Progressive active bass. I tried to adjust the bass and treble without battery and it worked as a cutter. This made me think? Can one use single induction coil to cut off the lows? Will this work as HPF with fixed frequency and adjustable "strength"...

I saw sometimes that one must move bridge written in a way like it's difficult thing to do. I moved bridge in my bass because I detuned from EADG to ADGC and I couldn't move saddle roll anymore and bass wouldn't intonate. I drilled five new holes ~5mm to the rear and screwed bridge to body. 15...

I saw no thread for DYI topic, so I gave myself freedom to open it Attached pics of extreme cheapo A/B box I made some years ago : )

As in thread title Are there pick-ups with adjustable height of each magnet, thus volume of each string?

Good morning bass maniacs If I painted cones of woofers with car spray paint, what happens to tone? Would it alter noticeably?

I play Fender Rumble Studio 40 I wonder if I can use it without speaker as preamp only I know I can't simply disconnect speaker as I can in MosFet or Bipolar transistor amplifier. I can use power soaker but these tend to be heavy AFAIK I can use an 8Ohm resistor instead of speaker, as seen on...

As many of us - I struggle to play fast. For years I have been using "start slowly and accurate and be speeding up" with mediocre results. And one day an idea came up. From driving expierience. If you think 100mph is fast and you feel uncomfortable with it, accelarate to 120mph and then slow...

I am having hard time to memorize notes on fretboard. Right now I find next reference: what string I am on and what's the distance either to root, octave or note on 0th, 7th and 12th fret, then I need to look how many halfsteps from reference point I am and then add or deduct the distance. I...

Dear Gassists! Has anyone had a chance to listen to/play GR Bass carbon neo cabs? They are pretty light, 410 is only 15kg/33lbs, and I wonder whether it is an option. I can't buy and test it now, otherwise I'd Anyone? EDIT: Well, I just discovered "search" option and will use it :)

I might get nice small tube guitar head capable of 16ohm only. I don't need it loud therefore 1W only. However, there are few 16Ohm guitar cabs and I probably will be able to get a 10" Marshall, however 8Ohm. Does it make sense to wire a 8Ohm resistor in series to match cab impedance to amp...

Well, I love the looks of T-Bird, but mahogany sound, high-mid-less and forget-the-high-end, doesn't encourage to get one. Is there any bass that looks like T-Bird and sounds like Precision?

Hey good people I want to compare two or more cabs. I came to idea of connecting one amp to A/B box and divide signal from amp to two cabs I want to compare. Then I would play loudly and be switching between cabs without turning volume down. Is this safe for gear? Will "live switching" not...

Hi everyone Pal of mine (polish bass forum pal, actually; I ask in his name, because he does not speak english) bought recently used Eden XLT210. He is not sure, if these are genuine loudspeakers or not: :help: thx in advance

AFAIK pros: high power before farting any cons?

I want to build a "15+mid" cab. Kappalite 3015LF has insane long Xmax of 9.6 mm, which allows to put full 450W without shade of distortion. But kappalite needs mid. Will a Alpha 8MRA do the job? I use Hartke 3500 (240W@8Ohm, 350W@4Ohm), i play mainly metal, core etc. Fingerstyle.

did anyone hear about bass cab made out of balsa wood? it weights about 25% of oak weight
