    Bass Build #1

    that looks fantastic. From one of your earlier pics, I thought you might just bolt a nut and a bridge to your floor, dig some pickups in the floor and there you go ;-)

    changed strings, dramatic change in action

    thanks for posting the video links in the post above. Very helpful. But I do not agree in one point: I always lower the string tension before adjusting saddle height or truss rod. I do recommend this to the bass community, too.

    Question: Box overload??

    Dear Bass-colleagues, I have a Gallien Krueger MB 200 which features 140W at 8 Ohm. I have just bought an EBS Neo Cabinet 112 which has a Power Rating of 300 W RMS (all values from the respective home pages). So now I think I should be able to turn up the amp all the way when I plug in my...

    Has Quilted Maple Top become un-cool ??

    beauty isin the eye of the beholder, but QMT was never my cup of tea. For me it was always "too much". I do like a flamed maple neck, but that's not the in-your-face-look. I do like to see the wood structrue through a 3 color burst - but for me a nice ash grain is enough.

    Do you name your basses?

    funny - i named all my guitars - and there are all female. My bass is "my bass". And it is definitely male. Can't give it a name

    what pickguard color for a Jazz Bass with 3Color Sunburst and Maple Neck

    I love 3 Color Sunburst and the bass has a Maple Neck with black dots. As I didn't like the white pickguard (I think it looks too blank or a bit like a dead space) I mounted the classic tortoise pickguard. Now I think the contrast in between the dark body and the light neck (as it doesn't have...

    James Jamerson on a maple neck?

    I do believe there is a difference - but for me there is not the characteristic maple or rosewood sound - I mean, I can easily hear on a recorded track if the guitarist has used single coil or humbuckers, also if it's a strat or a les paul - I don't think anybody can say this for rosewood and...

    different nut for very light strings needed?

    Dear Bass Community, i recently switched to very light strings (30 - 85 Rotosound) on my Fender Jazz bass. I had to adjust the trust rod so that they don't rattle against the frets. When I looked at the strings on the nut I wondered if the grooves (or slots) in the nut were too wide for the...

    Ritter Simpsons Bass

    I think Ritter basses are utmost luxury, art and you can play it - they are really expensive but hey - it's luxury, if you have the money, why not. Simpsons for me is the punkrock of TV entertainment. Sorry, but for me those two don't mix

    Another "the drummer has a chick and she wants to sing in the band" thread.

    tell her right away that you won't play with her on this occasian. If the others insist, than quit the band or at least the job for the theatre.

    Flea Don't Sound Like Flea No More...

    Flea doesn't sound like Flea? But don't forget: A lot of people want to sound like him, but he IS Flea - that's one huge difference. So for me the question is only: How does he sound today, what is he playing today. Even more important for me is how do the RHCP sound, what are they coming up...

    Alternatives to Korg Pandorra, Line6 Pods etc. to mix bass and MP3 signal

    I can also go via the EBS HD350 Head only and use the Balaced Output to go into the mixer. MP3 signal also into the mixer and listen to it via Headphone - good idea. Still interested in alternatives as the HD350 normally is not in my flat but in place where we are practicing. That was why a...

    Alternatives to Korg Pandorra, Line6 Pods etc. to mix bass and MP3 signal

    Thank you Synaesthesia, I haven't thought of this. For me this would mean I would have to get a DI Box and a mixer - good idea. Anyone up for alternatives? Or Experiences with Preamps that can mix directly?

    Alternatives to Korg Pandorra, Line6 Pods etc. to mix bass and MP3 signal

    Does the situation sound familiar: You want to practise at home silently to your favorite songs, you want to find out bass lines of your favorite songs etc. I know the following alternatives which I am not happy with a) get a low quality practise amp which features headphone out, aux in and go...
