I had no idea three octave fingerboards existed. If I interpreted that correctly, that is a lot of real estate, at least in my limited experience. If by three octave, you meant three different Gs are reside above the board on one string (including the open string), then that sounds like you...

Wait, is this something people actually say? Wouldn’t that ridiculous…

the seller did say it plays fast and makes sweet sounds. Maybe they know something we don't know about basses.....

What a fantastic musician and a sad loss! I feel very fortunate to have seen him a few years back with Krieger. He played the intro to Air Blower when Robby introduced him. I didn't know how old he was until just now, and would have been decades short if someone asked me to guess.

original boxers are the best. I really dig that color, does yours have the black neck? that would be a beautiful combination

I didn't think of counting the threads. If I understand correctly, the 1/4-20 should have 20 thread windings, and the 5/16-18 should have 18? It would be nice if the seller got back to me, but Im not feeling so optimistic about that.

I asked them and have not yet received a reply. No picture of a box either. Thanks for the response, I wanted to make sure I understood the different models and names available.

I have been searching for a fishman full circle pickup with 1/4-20 threads. I found a listing on reverb for a full circle with no indication of the common thread sizes Ive seen. The listing is titled "(12240) fishman full circle bass pickups" and includes no description. Ive done some research...

can we just make this a slam Stewart tribute thread?

zeus sucks. that music sucks too, except for Primus. Primus doesn't suck

Jazz sucks. Kenny G is the only good thing to come from jazz. Would people in the 90’s even have weddings/receptions if it wasn’t for his music?

Mark Izu is a really cool composer/bassist! That music may be, or may help you find, what you’re looking for.

The tuners and the nut on this bass look very unusual to me. It looks like it has tuning pegs instead of gears. I know that basses had pegs before modern tuning machines were introduced, but I assumed I would never see a bass fitted with pegs. I can only think of how they could be inferior to...

I should have known.....

That’s a trippy wall you’ve got there. Looks like Patrick approves.

Adam Neely is an insightful dude but it bugs me when he talks about anything specific to playing in an Orchestral setting. I get the feeling that he REALLY lacks experience there. There are a lot of people on YouTube talking about things they don’t understand.

Sarah Balmforth is the BEST!

I’m curious if I would do more harm than good if I put two cases on my bass. Does anyone have an objection to this (for the sake of my bass’s well-being) or has anyone tried it? Im considering this as a way to avoid extreme temperature change in case I have to take a long walk to the woodshed...

Is that cray as in Robert cray? Looks like a fun set list

Had me at “never been dropped”.......impossible to find these days...

I owned an ampeg b18 for about a minute. I handed the guy the money, started wheeling it to my car, and he told me he couldn’t sell it. I really wish I had the guts to tell him off but I had too much empathy for the connection he had to his gear. I really regret giving it back and wish I would...

glad you found it! Must have been a relief to get that bug out of your head. Thanks for sharing

Hmmm this first attempt doesn’t feel right but m. 2 and 3 remind me of 59th street bridge

Tempo?

A 1940 Kay m1 and a 2004 7/8 shen sb200 And many more guitars....

Gigs?

I didn’t think of the walls, thank you.

Where did you find that thick rubber mat?

Luckily I have the elevator on one side, so I’ll stay over there. Thanks for the help

Since covid-19 has caused the uni I attend to completely close, I now must practice in my apartment. This is new to me and I’m worried about being too loud for my neighbors and roommates. I have been using a practice mute and foam between the body and tailpiece. I’m looking for suggestions from...

a) I don’t think vibrato needs to be slower on a larger instrument, but I do think you should start working on a good slow vibrato before you can make a fast one sound better. If there is a difference in vibrato dependent on instrument size, I think it is that vibrato needs to be bigger on a...

Keep the P and sell me the PJ

i am traveling outside of the US for the first time next month. I will be staying with family in France for two weeks and I am considering renting a bass so that I can practice while I’m there. Here are a some of my main issues: I don’t speak French. I don’t know any French musicians. I...

im not the most active member here but I really wanted to turn to my fellow low-lifes for this question.... If you were going to see a johnny cash tribute show, would you RATHER hear an upright bass or a bass guitar? I don't want to switch in the middle of the set. I know Marshall grant played...

A guitar is not a bass unless it is tuned to a lower register, and a bass is not a guitar unless it has a guitar-like figure and string length.

ive never seen one of these before. at first i thought it was one of those early ampeg EUBs, but then i realized it doesnt have a scroll or an upright style bridge. it looks like a lot of fun to play. any info you can spare would be helpful, i couldnt even find the name of the bass player.
