    Big Al in Church: It Sounds Great!

    Wow! You guys were on fire. I think any bass would’ve sounded great in your hands today!

    I know we all joke about our Sweetwater engineers…

    I had a Sweetwater rep I didn’t like very well. He didn’t really know what he was talking about when I would ask him a specific question, but he would act like he did. I don’t know what happened but I got switched to Keith Klikas and I like working with him real well.

    Does this look contrived?

    I’ve got the same issue with this one. I might try the crayon trick. That sounds like a good option. I cut the pickguard down because I hated covering the cool paint job. I uncovered as much as I could without routing showing.

    When you've been happy with Nickel Lo-Riders, what bass were they on?

    I have nickel low riders on my J bass, PJ bass and five string Yamaha TRB1005. My J bass and my PJ bass are strung BEAD. Overall they are pretty warm sounding. I like the sound of the DR Sunbeams (nickel) but with a round core they’re a little floppy for the B string. The Lo riders are hex core...

    New expanding pedalboard day - D’addario

    I’m using a one spot power supply. Now that you mention it I don’t believe most other power supplies are going to fit underneath this thing. Pretty low clearance underneath and the rails are not open on the underside.

    New expanding pedalboard day - D’addario

    I couldn’t decide what length pedaltrain nano to get and I saw this small adjustable board. I talked to my Sweetwater rep. He had seen one in person and said it looked pretty sturdy.I ordered one for $99 but passed on the $99 bag. I have have some bags that will probably work. Sweetwater filled...

    downfalls to p bass w/ added jazz pick up?

    I’ve got a PJ I put together with three knobs. Volume, 4 position rotary switch and tone. I wired the p/u selector switch to be - P only, P and J in series, P and J in parallel, J only. The P only is the most aggressive sounding. The P and J in series is still pretty gnarly but has more...

    RIP Jay Weaver, Big Daddy Weave

    Sending up prayers for his wife and kids. They have some great Christian songs. Terribly sad deal!

    RIP Jay Weaver bass player of Big Daddy Weave. Died of Covid complications. I think he had trouble with diabetes. He had lost both feet when I saw them a few years ago. Prayers for his wife and kids. They have some great Christian music.

    For the love of god, can someone please help me? (Bass wiring)

    Sorry, I’m not being clear. I mean the leads going to the pot.

    For the love of god, can someone please help me? (Bass wiring)

    When the nut pulls the pot up against the foil, the wire connection lugs can sometimes contact the foil. Know what I mean? Like if the foil doesn’t stay flat against the body, it could touch the positive wire connection from the pickup.

    For the love of god, can someone please help me? (Bass wiring)

    Ok, dumb question...The front of the lugs on the pots are not shorting to the foil, are they? I had to put electrical tape on front of my pot lugs to keep from grounding out. Hope this helps.

    Mesa M6 Carbine

    I absolutely love my M6 carbine. It’s got a great sound running through my GK 212II cabinet. The fan makes a little noise, but that’s the only hiss I notice. Sorry to hear it’s lifetime may be limited, it was going to be my “forever” amp. Plenty of power and it may have a baked in lower-mid tone...

    Thanks. I heard some of them had an end pin to let it be played like an upright. It kind of sounds like an upright. Probably because it is a hollow body. The F holes on front are painted on and not real holes. Cuts down on feedback I would imagine.

    NBPD- (new bass parts day)

    Wow! That is beautiful! I love the way the colors of wood blend together. A couple questions if I may. What are the frets made of? They look gold color. Also, what is the control knob layout? (Preamp?) That is flat out gorgeous!

    Tips for Re-learning the Fretboard?

    How about some of those fretboard marker stickers with the notes on them? May help visual memory.

    wax in In Ear monitors

    I've used a drill bit the same diameter as the bore in the in-ears. Spin it between your thumb and first finger as you slowly insert it. The channel in the bit will pull the wax out as it goes in. Mine are clear so I can see it going in. Be careful not to remove any plastic or damage anything.

    That one's got a "zero" fret also. Later ones don't. I actually like that. Open notes sound the same as fretted notes. Nice bass!

    Cleaning Tolex: Your secret to make it look new please

    I just used soap and water and a soft bristle brush but then applied "Armor All" while it was still wet. I smeared the armor all all over the tolex with my hands. Let it soak in for about ten minutes then wiped it all dry with a clean dry rag. It gives it that new shine. You can use a black...
