That Five is Money.. The pure class it exudes is blinding to the eye. And that fingerboard, forget about it. I can imagine the LED's on stage, just making that beauty sparkle white and gold like a diamond, mesmerizing audience members. You gotta play some smooth ass funky lines on her, and...

So what's your favorite cut, from all 2500 recordings?

Alright Congrats, on officially locking in the order..:thumbsup: It is an exciting time to be you.:hyper: Keep us posted.. drool

Sounds Good Brother.. Thanks for sharing

Imho opinion flat wound is not the way to go, unless you are trying to cut out punch or high end, and forget about ever slapping.

Hey Buddy, So glad you made your first post. And you will get tons of replies. But, you accidentally posted on the DB side of TB. The moderators will be along shortly to move your post to the appropriate section. So, don't worry about reposting this post. I will answer you in anyhow, in the...

You have chosen wisely! What do I think of my Marleaux Consat 5? Well, I think I love everything about it.. 1.The articulation of each and every note is amazing. 2. Plays like absolute butter. 3. Even and consistent tone across the fingerboard. 4. Has a great Low B 5. Amazing pickups and...

Personally, None of these "effect" pedals really float my boat, and I'll explain why. All of these "effect" pedals you are mentioning, are to ME, pedals you get because you can't get the sound you want out your bass and amp. Short of the distortion/tube gain, all of features can be accomplished...

Man.. This bass is Gorgeous!

Been following the thread all-day, wheres the Bass?? Pics Please.:)

Here's some advice from F. Rabbath, that I found extremely helpful, when I first got a DB, after 15 years on electric. (Just focus on being better than you are today.)

Thanks OneDrop Yes, I tried some hot water, for an initial quick cleanup, it took quite a bit off, but it still is a little hazy. I will try some soap, are we talking hand soap like dove, or dishwashing soap like palmolive?

Hey Friends, I am restoring a '72 Blueline, and wondering what you guys recommend for cleaning the faceplate, inside preamp casing, and chassis (we know Jimmy likes windex) lol.. JK.. I need something that will really make this baby shine again. Best,

Vanderbrook, Congrats on your purchase, good sir. May it bring your fingers the hippest grooves, and help you set the richest arco moods.

I'm not saying go for the swingmaster, but I live in Socal, and no one cares what color the bass, that I decide to bring is. And yes I do own a blonde carved bass. Sounds as if you have already made up your mind, as in you don't want a natural/blonde bass. Best not to fight that, you want a...

Thanks everyone for the replies. Almost by magic, I just received a practically new set (tried on a DB for two days) of La Bella Black tapewound, not BB length, but I'm sure they will work nicely. So, I will report back, when I have something to report about. Thanks Everyone

A Kolstein Busetto, in London. Very Cool.

Thanks for all the replies so far. Was wondering what your current favorite string for your BB. Sounds like for the spiros, it's the solo set. Also curious to hear what people think of the Labella's..

Did you get a bow as well? It would be wise to get one, sooner rather than later.

Congrats on the new DB. So how are your fingers doing? ;)

Which set of Spirocore, work best for the Baby Bass? I'd also be hip to hear, what you all are currently playing. This will be for strictly latin gigs.

Congrats, She's a Beaut! Welcome to the Club..

Glad to hear she was sounding good, and that you in were in the zone with her. On Another note, it should be about time for a new member for this club, as I'm still waiting in excitement, for malthumb's special presentation!!

I am with you, and have noticed this trend. Perhaps It's the way modern music is being produced, and it's affecting live mixes. Tons of Kick and sending the bass to subs only (which is usually muddy and low in the mix compared the kick). Personally when I perform, I always talk to them about...

Any updates TheEmptyCell?

I would personally try and keep it as stock as possible but, If you really do need to change the pots, you might consider getting a new pickguard and wire it yourself with new pots and jack or get a prewired one. That way you still have the original still wired, and will help keep the value of...

I have used a Pignose Hog 30 with good results, it has an 8 inch speaker with 30 watts. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] They go new for about 160 US

Hey Kids, I have some latin gigs coming up, so I am bringing my 60's Ampeg Baby Bass, I haven't played her for a few years and am looking for string recommendations. Or if there is already a thread on this, please direct me to it, as I couldn't find it. Best,

A badass mofo! I am personally sick of average players getting endorsement deals and signature models. At least Adam Nitti is a real player. I for one applaud Ibanez for actually endorsing an bassist that is actually good, not just a commercial name, who really is nothing special. Or would...

I haven't played the Contra, but I have played nearly every other model, and I can tell that every Bass that Gerald makes plays like butter, and have all been very balanced. When he designs his basses he consider's all of aspects of what makes an Instrument sound, and play well. So, I would...

;);) I think it would work for Communion.;)

Record a video of yourself with your iPhone or whatever, then you watch the video after, and learn from your mistakes, plus you'll be able to hear and see what you are doing wrong. A lot of times people don't notice how bad there timing, or that they are playing the wrong notes.. Videos will...

I have literally listened to track 100 times, since this thread was started, such a great version!

There could be exceptions,big money shows etc.. but being a sub is usually more work, then what the regular player has to do. I am very clear about my expectations of pay and only sub if I'm getting what the normal player would get. I got a sub in my old cover band and he was making about 500$ a...
