OMG!!! I tried a BUBAKER JJX-4 that was KILLER!! Never thought a bass would be so easy to play and fit like a glove. Makes me want to get into bass.. really... I almost bought it on the spot for $700 but then my wallet kicked me on the butt to remind me I also need other important gear. But...

I ended up buying a Vintage modified jaguar 32" scale with the boost in red. Sounds great.. but I must say that I can't bond with it. It is too heavy on the neck and it is bothersome to have to keep supporting it with your left hand. Also the lower bout is so short that it doesn't sty in place...

wow..thanks for the QUICK replies.. !! I had a Mikro that could not get set up. It was just impossible.. anyways.. Which 34'' is just slightly bigger than the 30'' ones? Checked the jaguar.. don't hate me but can't dig them.. a little bonding will help for feel :) music will be rock but...

Sorry to bother you with a cheap question.. I am a guitar player, can fake bass a just a little.:bassist: and need a cheap bass to record at home. Want to buy a used one for under $300 bucks. Maybe craigs or eBay. What do you suggest I look into. NEED: Closer to the size of an...

as I stated on my previous post... when you play 2 strings E and D and, lets say you play open E and fret 2nd fret for the octave E , the fretted E will be sharp and the open E will be in tune. This is noticeable. Good idea to shim the whole nut up from the bottom walter. I am looking to get...

Thanks all for your input! Here is the thing.. the strings are not new. BUT I bought this bass from a guy who never played it, and you could tell by how clean it was. The strings haven't gotten any kind of abuse and I can tell because I lifted the strings to see where they touch the frets and...

Hey guys.. I am trying to set the intonation on my short scale bass Ibanez Mikro and can't get the first 4 frets right. They are sharp. What I've done: 1) Adjusted truss rod to .381mm height at 7th fret, while capo on first fret and fretting the 17ty fret. 2) Adjusted string height at...

thanks!!! I will go buy some tools at home depot (feelers, files, fractional ruler, shorter screws, strings... and will set it up and let you know how it went.. I am finding out that I purchased the older version mikro with the older tuners. These don't have the active pickup and the tuners...

thanks Roadkill... 1) I don't have a dremel and would prefer to not cut these myself, maybe I can buy them shorter at home depot? :) 2) What do you actually file down at the nut to fix the intonation on the first frets? : A) Do you file "deeper" where the string rests or do you file the...

Hey guys, I just got a white mikro today!!. This little bass is so cool... but there are some issues.. 1) the intonation on mine is a bit off and I need shorter saddle screws to fix this. I can cut the springs but don't want to mess with cutting 4 screws shorter and mess up the threads. How...

it had to be a Norwegian :rollno: :D

I'm picking up an ibanez Mikro for 100 bucks off craigslist tomorrow. Now I want to grasp some basic bass techniques for progressive rock or fusion.. any recommendations on a good video lesson for this? By the way.. this forum is way cool.. nothing like this for guitarists...

Hey guys.., thanks for the replies.. Great suggestions!!! The Hellcat sounds really interesting!! which makes me wonder... Is a bass tuned just one octave lower than a guitar? If so, that Schecter Guitar Research Hellcat VI is basically a bass with six strings and with a guitar...

Hey folks.. I am a guitar player, but I need to buy a Bass to lay down some tracks at my home. I have an injury on my wrist and REALLY need a bass that provides the least resistance and plays like or similar to a guitar. I need a Bass that will be: 1) Easy to fret on and can be adjusted...
