Ah yeah that makes sense, but note that you're going to have to wire it 4PDT (on/on/on) -> 3-way selector -> vol/tone

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed] Use a 3PDT switch. You'd have to wire it pickups -> 3 way selector -> 3PDT switch -> tone/vol Actually, now that I think of it, a DPDT will do. But it has to be on/on/on. Also a 3PDT or 4PDT on/on/on might be easier to wire. Also, this thread seems to have...

No. My bass is heavy (15 lbs.) and while it has a very clear tone, I wouldn't call it 'big'.

I would say 300W+ because it's a nice number and roughly twice as loud as a 30W amp which the guitarist might be using. But since you're playing bass the difference will be less and it will all be nice and everyone will be happy.

Ibanez SR. They're REALLY light.

Tune to A standard or drop A.

Dude, paragraphs... Could be the power supply, but I'm no expert.

I bought a bass that was at the time 999 euros online for 500, new. Does that count?

...in the same way a bass guitar is a one trick pony, since it's exactly the same thing in a different tuning. :eyebrow:

It's St. Paddy, not Patty!

I got that for a bit when using my laptop, with the edge of the laptop pushing against my wrist. I stopped using my laptop that way and it went away.

My ESP LTD AX-404 is pretty big.

So what do you do during the week?

Fender P. LOL JK I like 2+2 headstocks.

Cool! I personally would have gone with an ESP LTD of some kind, but I guess I'm a bit of a fanboy D:

I love the Killing is my Business... and Peace Sells basslines. They're just soo awesome!

Me please! [email protected]. Thanks!

On bass I like the looks of maple better. On guitar, I prefer rosewood. I haven't actually played anything with an ebony board though.

My bass weighs roughly twice as much as the guitar I have right now. That is the only thing putting me off playing bass. I really don't have any problems playing guitar, but I'm better at bass due to practice.

After Forever - Black Sabbath

Fender, just because I like not taking care of my instruments, and Fenders are simpler.

Tune it the way you always do. If you're worried about the neck, etc., get a custom stringset from circle k strings or somewhere so that all the strings have roughly the same tension (or more on the higher strings, etc.) in the tuning you like.

Both my bass and my clothes are black, if that tells you anything...

Metal is so much older than me!!

I use a bass head through a guitar cab. That's the other part of the "myth" proved wrong.

Iron Maiden.

Also, try running a clean boost into your Bad Monkey. I don't know if it will help, but I really like the way I can go from almost clean sound to full-on distortion with my BM and EMG-equipped bass.

+1 to Ibanez SRs. They're so much lighter than my LTD (which weighs 11 lb.)

I'm probably going to try building a Fender champ clone (not a kit though) this summer, hopefully. My goal is to build my whole rig and my bass, but I think that might take a few years, if not decades... :P

I'd go with the Fender. Ideally, get a used 300W head and a 4x10. But not Behringer.

capo - you now have a 5 string bass in C# standard.

Gar Samuelson. I like his style.

I only have a single 4x12 :(

A. fourths, B. Minor third

I only depend on fret dots a little; I like to practice at night with the lights off, and also my bass has a tribal inlay, so I only have the side markers (not a big deal, I know).

Lemmy is a rockstar.

Invalid Link Removed perhaps?

If there's no buzz, you're simply playing too hard, or the action is too low for you.

Quite possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! I've bookmarked this thread, I keep meaning to build a bass myself, but I never get around to it. Someday...
