    Beautiful bass for a great price. I own a Stambaugh , Tobias , Pedulla & Dingwal and it stands up to any of my other axes.

    Picks are better for electro vibe? I think yes

    I started using a pick and P bass recently for a new project after playing 5 string active basses with fingers for 30 years. It's a great tool.

    Is there a combo amp that could satisfy me?

    Mark Bass CMD 112 combo for 2 years now. I do gigs & rehearsals with it. Add a cab & you have 500 watts.

    Another combo amp recommendation request.

    I have a MarkBass CMD 1x12. 300 W @ 8 ohms, 500 W @ 4 ohms. Light, portable, loud, good eq. It was the only choice in my area as GK does not have a dealer near me. $950.00 new and I have seen them at $750 new during the holidays. GK is nice but but more money. I run active basses thru it and it...

    Why use a zero fret instead of a nut made of the same material as the frets?

    I gigged a J bass with zero fret. I noticed an open string difference.

    Eich bass board

    I tried a Eich bass board last summer at a dealer. He set me up with headphones and the board. It was wicked bass heaven. You can feel every single note thru your body besides hearing thru headphones. As far as your question try contacting John Fox Bass. That is the shop I tried it at.

    NBD: Dingwall Super PJ with mini-review

    After 30 years of playing 5 string active basses I got a 4 string passive Dingwal Super PJ last summer. Indonesia made. Very nice bass. Fan frets are easy to get use to. Sounds like a P to me and the J pickup w/ 4 way switch adds a lot of variety. Found a dealer in New England. John Fox Bass...

    Should I learn to play with fingers?

    I say YES. I used a pick when I first started then stopped using one 3 years after. After 30 years of Pizz I returned to a pick for a new gig. Just a good tool to hace.

    Aguilar AG500 v2 feet

    Just my 2 cents. If you keep the rubber feet but add spacers between the feet & amp to to compensate for the extra height needed then get longer screws if you have clearance inside the amp. BTW I recently tried several GR cabs at a dealer. wow, they are light. Lifted a 4x10 cab with 2 fingers.

    Acoustic bass guitar?

    I have a Taylor Baby bass guitar. 20" scale? It is loud enough for a soft jam with acoustic guitar in your quiet living room. IMHO. But it sounds great with a combo amp.

    Anybody switching between 6 and 5 or 4?

    I say start on 4 string. Others will say it doesn't matter how many strings, true but until you know the neck well a 4 IMHO will make it easier.
