I'm one of those guys. I'm not THE guy, but I'm totally the guy who the OP is talking about. It CAUSES PROBLEMS but it's just who I am and how I express myself. I'm extreme, passionate and way over the top. Put a little booze in me and watch out, cuz it doubles. It really puts off a certain...

Add a pickguard homie! Make it look like a stingray style or something. All kinds of cool things you can do to cover that up. Crap get a luthier to make you a cool contrasting wooden pickguard!

Banjo only has 5 strings. :bassist:

Doh, 70$

&0 Bucks for a Golden Slap E. Might be worth checking out. :blackeye:

Yeah, I do have a Krivo mag on backup but I might as well sell it cuz I love the Deluxes, I really don't want to go back. I even talked to the Blast Cult guys about setting me up a bass with them and they kind of refused... not really, I don't wan't to be harsh, but they strongly recommended...

Yes but I'm a lazy person. I'm a horrible dog owner. Worse to my bass. I don't want to waste 300 bucks on an E string just to eff it up.

Glancing back through, I was having pickup issues as well. I've settled on David Gauges answer to a full circle. I forget what it's called but it sandwiches between the star adjusters and the bridge wing, kind of like the full circle, where the piezo is built in to the adjuster and unlike the...

It's been forever now but I've hated everything I've tried besides Superior Bassworks Deluxe strings. I'm using the middle 4 of the bump set but the E is floppy. He stopped selling the tricore version with a higher tension E so my next move is to go to the biggest string in the set for my E...

They're using a new system now. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] I personally, can't wait to get my hands on one! Their customer support is top notch. Drop them a line and I'm sure they'd be happy to answer any questions.

No interest in a used Pedulla? That's always my first thought in the 5 string fretless world. I like the Ibanez GWB's too, but it sounds like that's not a consideration.

All other things being equal... ie, playability and tone to my liking, I'd go with the 77 just on principal. Let us know what you decide!

Surprised I'm not seeing any Stingrays on here. I know it's kind of signature, but definitely a very versatile instrument. If I could afford a real one, I'd have it but I've sold off all my higher end gear. I have an old Music Man Sub 5 though. Great bass. No pics because I'm at work. You...

Very cool instrument. Totally jealous.

I dunno about that price, but Warwicks are my favorite bass. The precision with which you can set them up to your specs is just fantastic. With that adjustable nut, you can really dial in your action and intonation. The just feel sooooooo good and sound amazing and play good and.... oh good...

If you did all that, and did it correctly, but still had buzzing, you may need to file the high frets but that's a step I would never take without talking to a professional first, and I've been setting up my own basses for 20 years.

Too much. My gigging messenger bag is overflowing. I need to split it up I guess. SM57 mic. pair of mic cables. pair of 1/4" cables. a dozen or so stereo and mono 1/4" patch cables IEC power cord power strip extension chord gaff tape duct tape masking tape magic marker old setlist just in...

SVT CL dude! Heritage even better. That said, I do like the GK stuff. With something like that I'd go for an old RB700 since you're already schlepping weight. I do like their class D stuff too and really want to try the MB 800 but I've got the original MB500 (i think it's 500? the gray one...

There's so much more to adjust than just the truss. Set the truss to get proper neck relief first. There are instructions on this online. You can check relief by fretting the first and 15th frets or whatever and seeing what the gap looks like. There shouldn't be much if any depending on your...

If you like that tuning, get a six string set and use the A D G and C strings. But it doesn't sound like that's what you're after. You may need a new bass. Keep that tuning and you WILL need a new bass.

NO! I snapped a tuning peg doing this. Down is ok. Up, not so good.

It's W T for Wu Tang. Bunji's Knee aint nuffin ta mess wit.

I need it for my upright and want it for my electric. It can be tough to dial in if you don't have experience with studio rack compressors. Some are simple plug and play and do a good job. I use a markbass compressore which sounds pretty good, has great controls and is road tough. It's heavy...

Some kind of Warwick Custom. Always been partial to Buckeye Burl.

You'd do fine with a nice Fender P, A G&L, Music Man would be a good choice. I mean, you could do all that with a Rick, or an old Gibson. Personally, I'm a big fan of the Music Man, but I still lust for a P Bass.

My main bass is painted but I far prefer oil or satin. It makes less of a difference to me on bass, but I have a new DiPinto (strat like) electric guitar and it has a gloss neck. I find it very difficult to play over the top bar chords and slide parts for funky strumming. I have a very old...

I had a cheap Samick fretless. It played ok. Sounded ok. Felt super cheap in the hands. Eventually sold it for a low-mid end Ibanez Fretless and definitely didn't regret it. It was fine... but nothing special. I've never played a Cort, and that's the only Samick. Probably not particularly...

I've been there with my current band, and it was a result of me not speaking my mind on some political things. I let my frustration sit at a quiet simmer and that is never good for me. It usually winds up with a blow out. Luckily, we held a band meeting and I let it fly. I didn't get...

Awesome work. Tell your guitar player shorts aren't rock n roll though. ;)

I was down at the local folk festival and checked out this gospel group. The rhythm section was amazing! In the pocket, flashy without going over the top, and super tasteful. The whole show I'm trying to figure out what the guy is playing. Looks like a fender J, but that's not a fender...

Wow, that's rough.

I've never found an (affordable) eub that did the trick for me. The BSX semi acoustic basses are really nice and sound great but the price tag is pretty big. But nothing really sounds like an acoustic instrument, except for an acoustic instrument. I beet a semi hollow fretless could do pretty...

I dislocated my shoulder snowboarding and had to play the fretless Kala U Bass for a while. I could get pretty close to an upright vibe with that thing. It just looks a little silly since I'm 6'4" and about 240 lbs.

And no, it definitely does not translate on electric at all. Totally changes the sound of the band. When I play electric, I'm all funk. On upright, I'm folk, country, rockabilly, jazz. Whole different vibe. Same notes, completely different sound.

It's not too bad. I use superior deluxe strings. Synthetic gut strings. Easy on the fingers and great tone. Technically they're weedwackers, which have a very bad reputation, but these are like nothing else I've ever played. And the owner of the company, Brandon Clubb is a great dude. I...

Not sure this is going to work. Attempting to link to a brief clip of the fireworks. Enjoy!

I had LaBellas on my fretless 5 before I sold it. I loved the tone but I like to slap a fair amount and the tapes aren't great for that. I was surprised how bright the strings were though, but tough to get a good pluck.

Alright, Disney is famous. It's an attraction in Orlando. Bush Gardens is famous. It's an attraction in Tampa. Bar Harbor itself IS the attraction. But whatever. We're really kicking a dead horse here. The point was it was a big gig and my shizzle exploded in front of a huge crowd of...

ESPECIALLY MUSICIANS! :D
