RIP

Just turned 50, practicing since three months. The Scott's Bass Lessons' route I went. I take it slowly. My goal is to improvize and hence know my instrument but I use tabs right now to actually play some tunes: Money, Seven Nation Army, My Sharona, etc. I watch video and make exercises. I...

Look at Schecter

Link please

There's the Starr Guitar Systems' Rotary varitone style 6 position tone control for bass on eBay... Anybody use this ? Would it yield to the same results ? Position 1: Bypass - no tone control Position 2: .015 capacitor Position 3: .022 capacitor Position 4: .033 capacitor Position 5: .047...

BBG?

I know...but out of stock and not sure the site is still active...

Does somebody know where I can actually buy that pot ? Stellartone ToneStyler BASS SIX Invalid Link Removed The BASS SIX is a six-position EQ control featuring five hi-cut / mid-cut resonance filters, plus true bypass. Maximum capacitance: .047µF

Aaaaah! I misunderstood your point ! Lol I tought you were cleverly pretending I was cheating on my previous bass.... Well the next owner will see it's a high action bass and maybe it'll suit his style !

But *quiet*, she's not aware of it....yet!

But, you know.... It's exactly when I ditched en ever Canon SLR to go full Fuji mirrorless. It just feels better, more at home....

Lol! Nope! I went on the Tinder of Bass AFTER I split up!

Thanks! This is not so that's why I bought something I fell in love with. I'll sell the one I have, the next owner will decide if it's a problem or not.

I can't measure it as I don't know how to do it, but the 2 luthiers I saw told me there was a S in the neck. Probably because of some tapewound strings that the previous owner put on with too much tension applied ? Because of a bad truss rod adjustment made after or before it ? Anyway, the...

Lol see previous post, I indeed put (used?) belt and braces!!!

Done! I bought a Schecter Apocalypse C-4 with: 1. multi ply neck 3. carbon reinforced 4. ebony fretboard! That'll do....I hope! Thanks everybody for your comments and advices !

Okokokokokokokok....Bought a pack! Thanks!

Hi everyone! So I did it, will receive a brand new Apocalypse C-4 next week. Considering it's a passive bass with hot pickups and many voicing options, which kind of strings should I buy, knowing that I'll be mainly playing 70's prog, 80's new wave, 90's alt rock n Grunge and some Muse....?

Moderator: please close this thread, I'll post in Schecter Owners Club. Thanks !

If they're on the bright side, is it better to tame it directly with the strings or if it's better to cut trebles and mids on the amp ?

Okokokok so I did it. Will receive it next week. Passive bass with specially-designed hambuckers, each with Single coil/parralel/serie switch. Considering the pickups, the passive nature and the voicing options, which kind of strings should I buy, knowing that I'll be mainly playing 70's prog...

Could you post picture of the back of the bass to show the mod ? Interesting, never heard of that !

Sir, you put in clear words what my luthier told me!

Yes I think I'll settle for this option. And buy a bass that is easy to adjust...And never put nylon coated strings as they need more tension. And stay away from Ibanez fast but thin necks

Even if it's imported Canadian maple, he says that the wood is often not dryed enough, that they are kept in diverse conditions that make them bow rapidly. At some point in time Ibanez outsourced to a Quebec plant (now Godin) their neck production because they keep the wood inside at a 45%...

I heard the Ricks have two truss rods ?

Well I created this thread because my luthier told me to "stay away from anything Made in Indonesia because of the wood they use. Nothing but hardwood from North America. G&L ok but not the Tribute, MIA or even MIM but not otherwise, etc."...I thought some nuance needed to be made....

I'm not following....multi-ply single cut ?

This is freaking humid here in the summer, and very dry inside our houses in the winter. I can keep the humidity at 50% in the summer but it's hard to keep it over 35% in the winter.... But great tips nonetheless for hanging the bass !!!!

Interesting... What about the Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Rods found in Schecter CV-4 and CV-5 ?

I live in Montreal, Canada, so many drastic climate change. Very rough on the bass neck. Under those circumstances, which criterias will give me a nice piece of lutherie: 1. Multi-ply or one-piece neck ? 2. Buy one with canadian hard maple ? (In this case, avoid made in Indonesia bass ?) 3...

In fact, I like the possibility to have a single coil sound from a hambucker or to have either series or parralel voicing from to two pups: is it only active territory ?

Lolllll ! You got a point ! Now I realise I'm turning 50... In my head, 80's and up are modern.....:roflmao:

You are assuming right ! So I guess all the fuss regarding the multiple tonality you can obtain with a huge in-bass preamp is more about the convenience, all under your fingertip, right ?

I hesitate between three bass: Sire P7 (2nd Gen), Godin Shifter Classic or Schecter CV4 (2017). I play mostly 70's prog rock, 80's new wave and Alt 90's rock & grunge so I want versatility in sounds. So two passives, one active. Could the two passives deliver "modern sounds" through my...

The credit goes to Oly Spart here on Talkbass. But to my dismay, they don’t ship to Canada....
