Yeah, Richmond is the place that's 2.5 hours away x]. I haven't tried sticking it in my car yet, I guess I can give it a try.

Hey, Thanks for all the replies guys! So, what if I don't have a reputable luthier in my area? Can I tackle the project on my own? I live in the Hampton roads area of Virginia, and the closest reputable luthier I can find is 2.5 hours away from where I live, which is going to be a tough place...

Okay, I measured the space between the fingerboard and the strings. This is what I have: E: 10mm (keep in mind there is a bevel for the E string) A: 10mm D: 14mm G: 15mm Is that some crazy inconsistent action, or am I just a noob? EDIT: Also, the strings are clearly flatwounds. I...

Okay, thanks guys! Maybe I can get some pictures of the string height in the morning :) I agree that finger strain is never good. Speed, dexterity, and endurance don't come from finger strength, they come from eliminating as much tension in the fingers as possible. EDIT: The bridge is not...

So, what if I want to play Jazz AND classical? I rechecked the radius, and it's actually fine. I think you're just seeing the bevel for the E string. Pictures can be kinda deceiving, haha.

Hey, Sorry, TheSuzie. I'm just used to the thousands of posts per day on the BG side ^__^ I can be patient! I'll keep looking around the interwebs for answers, too!

I'm hoping some of you catalog gurus can help me out! I just bought a used Scherl and Roth bass for $900 on Craigslist. Can you tell me more about it? Serial#: 40 10780 CAT#: R 606 E3 The previous owner said she bought it for over $3000, but I think it's a lie because she also says it's a...

Thanks! Do you have any clips of the Euro Ply Basses? I can't seem to find any.. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places :)

Hi guys! I'm in the market for a decent plywood upright. Right now, I'm looking at the Thompson, or the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]. Have any of you played these basses? I think the Thompson sounds simply incredible, but I see that a lot of stores are selling the Cecilio for as...

Well, it's proven so far that it's an indispensable tool! :smug::smug:

PM sent :)

I'm wanting to do the Musicdojo with Adam, but every time I go to make a transaction, there's an error. The error tells me to send an email to the support. So, I send an email aaannnddd... No reply. I send a second email annddd... No reply. I also notice that the site's security certificate has...

I hear ya. My manual says that if the low B is thicker than a .125, get a tapered. I've already picked out some DR Lo-Riders with a .125 low B :)

any bass with JUST a single coil jazz pup near the bridge. ew haha

thanks for the input guys!

I have a long scale (34") Corvette $$. I'm thinking of buying some DR Lo-Riders, or Sunbeams. The problem is, I don't know if they will be long enough for the taper to clear the nut! take a peak at the bridge (in the pic below) on my bass. It's another 1 1/2" to 2" between the ball-end and the...

ehhh. you guys are suggesting that a P/J is versatile? not exactly... a P/J makes you're bass sound twangy and punchy, like victor wooten. J/J makes your bass sound like Marcus Miller. Get duo humbuckers! I suggest a Warwick Corvette $$

I made an attempt at "Clair de Lune" by Debussy. Turned out great! As long as the feel is right it sounds awesome. I know it's a weird song to play on the bass (cuz it's piano) but it was worth my time! taught me a lot about double stops and harmony!

Can I get in?? Here's my (as of October 30'th)Corvette Double Buck 5'r :D hope you enjoy! It hasn't told me it's name yet... Can you guys help me out?

haha my GAS got so bad over this Wick, and my birthday is coming up, so I asked all of my family to get together and get a mexican fender. yep.. family affair haha. it sure is pretty though! Invalid Link Removed

"Play music, not notes" - intervention from my soul

I wear my bass wicked high, and my straps are too long. I like leather, but I can't find a good leather one for cheap. Recommendations for anything less than $40.00? By the way, I'd prefer it not have a suede backing, since suede loves to "grab" my shirts and stretch them while I play. If...

if you were to count by 1/16'th notes in a measure, you would say "One-ee-and-uh-two-ee-and-uh-three-ee-and-uh-four-ee-and-uh". well, if your bassline starts on the down beat, try starting it on the ee's and the uh's. experiment with your basslines by moving the notes around the 16 subdivisions...

i was playing at this church that i used to play for (I'm not religious by the way), and we were playing a song in Eb. There was a bass solo that I was supposed to play at the bridge, and I wanted to impress the church-goers with my amazing skittles, but instead of a cool groove, I accidentally...

okay, so the bolts that set the intonation are missing on the D and G string. The floating saddle has already caused two G strings to break, and I'm tired of buying strings. How do I get the bolts replaced? If I take them to a music store, will they replace them for me? if you know a website...

groove, technique, articulation, rhythm, feel, space, dynamics, tone, and listening are all equally important

sex in a pan - Victor Wooten. It's almost perfect :D its the best song EVER!

dyin' to get it. this thing's elusive! Everytime i search for it I get lessons about other things, instead of tabs on The Lesson

oh, and also, low makes you look unprofessional if u plan on also being a PROFESSIONAL musician

mine barely touches my belt. if you plan on being a versitile bassist, wear it high. it's easier to pluck when it's up. It's easier to tap when it's up, slapping, harmonics, etc. low is for show. But still, look at victor wooten. He wears his high as the sky and he looks super beast!

playjazznow.com is an excellent resource. download in every key, and transpose starting with the key of Bb, then Eb, and all the way around the circle of fifths. in the key of Bb, the progression goes like this... II - Cm7 V - F7 I - Bbmaj VI - G7b9 (the 6th is used to go back to Cm7)

get the tension out of your hands by playing all of your scales VERY SLOWLY. Watch what your left hand is doing, because that way you can see where the tension is. Look at how you're placing your left thumb, press on the string only as light as you have to, and most importantly, just hang loose...

ok guys, I've got 300 bucks. I need a good quality combo with AT LEAST 100W of power. I hear Behringer Sucks? let'r rip!:hyper:

if she can sit on a chair upright, she can probably put the bass on her knee if it hurts her to wear a strap because the bass is crushing her stomach:D
