any way just went with normal strings and thats just fine, heavier gauge and tension will be my definite choice for my next set of strings thanks everyone

in fact, the idea was to lower it an OCTAVE and a full step: thats why I was thinking about bass strings, but as somone said earlier, it would get too flooppy, also, as I said Im not really sure if the octave in the guitar is really an octave higher than the bass. In theory it is, but in...

ok, understood, I thought I had something here, thanks !

Alright folks, My quiestion is: to tune a guitar from low string to high in D,G,C,F,A,D tuning... Since the bass is tuned one octave below the guitar, I was thinking about putting the D G and high C electric bass guitar strings on an acoustic guitar and then following with an E guitar string...

Thanks ! I thought so, no biggie I guess. I still posted this on luthiers corner thou, On changing strings I have a theory: If I CHew the fingerboard with the roundwounds leaving those paralel lines, then I switch to flatwounds, the chewing on the fingerboard will have a similar effect on the...

I wonder what you mean when you say vomit exercises or scales? a definition, thats all, then if you feel inspired write how you feel about em

Thanks Mike ! I think that the bumps and all give the bass a certain personality, but what we care about mostly its the sound. This is the third one Ive had, thats why I choose a hybrid, I eventually became careless about the laminated ones because a DB is so big its bound to be wacked up...

:rolleyes:Well... I feel like a overeactive little Wuss now, sorry for being such a bitch...:bag: I guess i will be more relaxed now I thought it could get opened up by vibrations and all, f*#k it. All I know is that I should chill more about the bass and enjoy more playing it, its just that...

:crying:Ok.. Im paniking right now, so I dont want to tell the whole story, the thing is I cutted my top with a sharp knife just under de g string side on the top, .. so what is to be done? I have a show tomorrow, so Ill keep everything on until I play, then I guess I will take it a luthier, its...

well its been I while And I took it to the luthier, I thought I had an unglued harmonic bar, but happily he told me my bridge was the reason of the buzz, aparently its not well fitted, he is charging me 60 euros for fixing it, sometimes I think he is wrong (stuborn maybe ) but I guess I should...

Any advice on how to get your bass shiny without messing up the wood? any products etc ? not the kolstein clean and polish kit, but something more homemade ? I guess a microfibre handkerchief should be fine but any other suggestions, ? maybe some nice old grandma secret? thanks

so I bought a christopher 303 I amhappy with the volume, but the thing is that when I play loud, and without blowing my own horn here I get real loud pizzicato , I get a buzz from the belly just under the tailpiece, so I put a sweater between the tail piece and belly of the bass and it stops...

I get mushrooms on the walls, thats how humid , Ill be leaving soon thou, sometimes I hear a buzz on the bass, I know that Always happens, like with my old laminated ones always did, and drove me crazy , just trying to find where its from, I kinda pushed the top a little and it stopped, I think...

Hi, a complete newbie in this forum So , I recently bought a christopher 303 doublebass , Its my first ever hybrid after having only laminated basses, so now I am starting to get a little scared not by handling care but for humidity and temperature conditions, could you guide my in the care...
