I was letting my Nephew learn on my 3/4 size bass as soon as he could sit up on his own. Here is a pic of him at maybe 8 or 9 months.

He doesn't knot them any more. It looks like he burns the ends. http://www.gamutstrings.com/catalog.html?Iit=1836&Ict=4

bump, still available

This is my 1975 3/4 sized carved top german Ernst Heinrich Roth bass. Soild spruce top, flamed maple laminate veneers, solid jet black ebony fingerboard. It is in perfect working order well set up and very playable. Ive seen similar basses go for as much as $3550. Sounds great plucked, slapped...

I think i know why we (you and I) are so far off in this discussion. From what i gather you have a much more strict definition of what is jazz and rockabilly than I. Also the way I take your off road speech is that jazz guys have to drive a Rolls-Royce and rockabilly guys have to drive off road...

im not talking at all like the Rolls-Royce off-road thing you speak off. Two jazz guys two way different set ups. Two rockabilly guys two way different set ups. Im saying there is such a big variety in both styles to the point of overlapping so much that all we see is extremes. Calling...

what are they? and what is typical and who gets to define typical? Anything you say is typical for a rockabilly player i can name any number of jazz guys that have used the same. apart from flame paint but then you dont have to have flame paint to be a rockabilly player. I guess it just all...

I dont see an issue that needs skirting. All im saying is two jazz players (or rockabilly) can have very different set ups to optimize it for the way they approach the bass and neither of them is wrong.

Bottom line if you play jazz on your bass its a jazz bass if you play rockabilly its a rockabilly bass. Anything to do with set up is a personal preference. There is no reason you cant have a jazz player with high string height, guts and a plywood bass and a rockabilly guy on a fully carved bass...

Guts and a magnetic pickup? Im not sure how that is supposed to work.

string height doesnt have to be very high to slap. I have mine at 6-8mm from the G to E and have no trouble doing a variety of differnet slap techniques.

the winding all looks fine. I had them on one bass for around 3 months and were only put on the one bass the one time. So they have not been abused. Pick up is sold! Olive G&D are also sold

for sale Olive G $60 Olive D $60 Olive A $60 Revolution solo2 $60 SOLD The olives are right about 3 months old and the pick up was very lightly sanded (1mm or less)to fit my bridge and is almost as thick as new.

I know that with my Upton(professor deluxe) if i had to pick one the bowed sound would be better than pizz.

How does this guy get his DPA mounted on top of the bridge? Invalid Link Removed

because its a D string and not a G string, thats why it will not work. It has more to do with its the width.

I live in fort wayne. If your willing to drive to Cincinnati there is the Bass Cellar and Nick Lloyd. Thay are your best bet. At the very least you can get the feel of what a good one sounds and plays like.

he means Evah Pirazzi. If you don't have much experience with strings i would have to say try EP's or thomastik spirocore.

I think what he is talking about is stuff like using the third finger in lower positions. With the fingers all most parallel to the strings, thumb wrapped around the neck making a 90 degree angle with the edge of the fingerboard. A beginner using this kind of technique with out low tension...

My B bass has the same set up E & A swaped out. and i think the other two have tracked in here from the BG side.

Yeah, the only thing im running in to is that my other bass has the same string set up, so its like they are competing against each other. But the professor just does what my old bass was trying to do but better. So im going to have to find something new for my old bass. Because if they are both...

picked up my professor deluxe yesterday.

Golden trinity mic is still available. olives have been sold

I have the following items for sale. -K&K Sound Golden Trinity Mic for URB - UPGRADE Model with Golden Trinity Two channel Preamp. $100 shipped to the US. -Pirastro Olive G string played on for about a year. Nothing wrong with it. It has only been put on the one time. $30 SOLD...

I have used both EPs and all but the solo spiros with my olive G and D. The EP weich matched best tension and size with the olive on my bass, but in the end i wound up with spiro mittels. I think the spiro mittels match better when they get some age on them.

My main band has started to book shows in france among other places overseas, and i think it would be most feasible for me to rent a bass. I was just woundering if you guys know a good place to rent insterments. Or if you know a good, cheap, safe way to get a bass overseas and back. You would be...

So more like a cheaper more stable olive?

and if you couldn't tell from the pics i defreted the neck and it has a string through bridge. The string through bridge help to balance the output of the piezo pickups with the added break angle over the saddels.

starting from the switch and working my way over it goes, switch is some kind of mid cut for the piezo pick ups,then volume for piezo pick ups, the rest of them are just for the emgs, next knob volume for the emgs, then it is a stacked with the lower being the lows and upper the highs, and...

i forget alot of the specs on most of it as i did it mabe 6 or 7 years ago. just emg pick ups the preamp is also emg for the magnetic pick ups and it has a separate on board preamp for the piezo saddles. all ran off an 18volt power supply.

one more pic

my 50th anniversary made in china squier p-bass.

follow the quotes.

that is what i thought, but nope wound E's and A's with a gut core are not gut strings at all apparently. nor do they sound anything like gut.

sorry i just thought that when a string is made out of gut it is gut i mean that is what gut is, right? If it is wound or not,why else would they need so say if it is wound or not if it has to be plan gut to be called gut . For that matter why call it plan gut why not just gut? You know why...
