I had few Harley Bentons of Thomann in my hands and some were OK I'd try Ibanez Mikro and Harley Benton new

Is this considered shorts faux pas?

I use Harley Benton AirBorne 5.8 Ghz Dirt cheap and small. Downsides: unnoticeable in the mix noise and up to 10ms latency

Who is giving out the club member numbers? I want one! How I cope: First: light bass. I love my Mustang. It's light and I don't need to reach out with my left arm Second: letting the venue's PA do the job. Or bandmates. Don't carry stuff. Use wheels. I carry only my bass, my preamp and IEM...

5ms with Noise Gate, Comp4 and Bass EQ on. I didn't check different patches

I just put mu hands on Valeton GP-50 and the measured latency is 5ms, for me fine as a sole latency generator in live situation.

This Plus castors on the back like in Ampeg fridge and telescopic handle

Thank you all for valuable input. It is always good to get some peer review, no improvement without pain :) @sawzalot Thank you for pointing specific improvement potential with using other fingers instead of index alone @bass12 What do you mean by chord progression/change as a thing to...

I struggle to play in time. I miss-time one note each minute (give or take). It's around 30-40ms too soon or too late. Here's my Polish smile video - and that's as good as it gets. I won't play closer to grid Is this reasonable for a intermediate player I consider myself? Each teacher says...

Speaking of precise measurement: When I pluck a string, pitch goes up to 4 cents up and then goes back I can't here the difference Pretty normal, isn't it?

Sure, here full chart And I actually need the upper register : ) Gap at first fret with pressed on third is between 0.1 and 0.2mm

Sure, I'll check that, too

First frets are perfect straight outta box 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 and 12th are fine up to ±3 cents Then it goes bad. Here are the initial results of G-string. I tried with action (high and low) and truss rod and saddle position to no avail so it makes no sense to update the results 15th fret: +13 17th...

@Aloe I had my other guitar checked by an allegedly reputable tech and he couldn't fix wrong intonation at first few frets, the further from the nut the better; after some reading and fellow TBers support I improved witness point and increased breaking angle with a zip tie on the nut side...

test I checked four Fender Mustang Basses to pick one The One This looks great for just intonation. Wonderful thing for C-maj or A-min key - which is actually true for most of the songs :) I use Fender Rumble Studio combo built-in tuner I worked according to third bullet point of your...

Just got my hands on a pretty easy and comfortable bass I am setting intonation and it goes well on G and D up to twelfth fret. There's a ±3 cents deviation across 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th fret But then it gets bad 15th fret: +13 17th: +21 19: +33 22nd: +45 Neck relief is ~0.3mm...

I got me casters and added side handles for 800 Stage Otherwise it's a disaster to move

The 800W vs 500W is barely noticeable. It's mere 2dB more potent The 800c is 7lb lighter and that would make a difference for me 29lb vs 36lb

I can't tell much about getting support from dealer or Fender What I can tell is replacing and filing a nut is easy work. A nut itself is few dollars and an hour or two for filing or sandpaper (I bought mine too thick) and you're done. You just saved money and learned new skill and got...

I love distorted bass the most when it comes from cranked up guitar amp and clean bass amp

What's the good websites with temporary projects in the US? I do quality engineering in automotive and 3D metrology Where can I find project listings? Is there a market for this in the US? I found indeed.com and glassdoor.com and linkedin, but there are only permanent jobs

Did you see this very basic video?

There's overwhelmingly many valid answers. My recommendation is this Scotts Bass Lesson video on walking bass The idea is to play root, third, fifth and a half step above or below next root This is a great starting point and gives immediate results that motivate to deeper research

I read the whole thread and I didn't see the word "metronome" All the drummers I play with use it

I found bands to play with on Facebook "musicians wanted" groups in my city It doesn't take long since bass players are on high demand and low supply

In my experience insufficient breaking angle makes tuning on first frets and open string bad. If open is OK, first frets are like +5 sharp I add string retainer(s) when necessary and/or zip ties between nut and tuning posts

If you go to a small shop, it might be a problem Big stores have amps rooms, at least some of them. Some have even bass amp rooms and guitar amp rooms Don't you have a 30 (or 14) day money back guarantee when buying new gear?

Thank you all the sunny people trying to help me understand my question and answers Chord Cmin7 is one story and the lick played on scale notes is another story, now I get it. One can build many chords on notes of one scale.

Rabbit hole, huh? I prefer to understand and believe :) Sorry for multiple posts

This is why I keep asking

@Ed Fuqua Thank you for your extensive post I am not sure I got you right, so let me expand my question 1. The lick in the YT clip consists of notes C D Eb and Bb 2. C minor 7 scale and C minor scale consist of C D Eb F G Ab Bb 3. The lick fits to C minor 7 and C minor (no 7) Question...

I found this clip on YT about playing a lick in different minor 7 keys, from C to B (or B #) What is the difference that the 7 in key name makes? The seventh step isn't sharp or flat, it's exactly ten half steps from tonic like in X minor without 7. What's the point? Is it about the chord...

Beautiful instrument

Very cool looking bass

People who keep telling you what bass amp should U use don't use it. U will. It's your call. It's your sound. It's your back :) Having said that 18kg for a bass head only today is a dinosaur :) There are 410 stacks lighter than that :)

Volume and tone either 0 or 1 Straightforward approach. I might be happy with a three position switch ;) V0 T1V1 T0V1

I am an recovering alcoholic For me it's not worth it. I better don't damage my body to please others. I believe there are better ways to overcome social anxiety if you feel you need to. However, with right people around you don't need to lubricate. YMMV

After first minute: notes are good, wouldn't change it. I wouldn't play it better anyhow :) I assume bass is overflowing the speakers by intention and gets tamed in the songish edit :)

@agedhorse If there'd been industry standard then no inflating was possible I believe "beyond reason" is not one can define in SI units or percentage

@ga_edwards I come from world in which woofer power was used as a cabinet power, but that's a side note I strongly doubt a tweeter withstands 350W or 8" woofer 650W neither mechanically or electrically. However I saw some car audio speakers with insanely long magnets for high cone excursion...
