    What do you in particularly like about playing 5 string basses?

    I think what I love most about playing a 5 string bass is that, at least to me, navigating on the fretboard seems much more logical, like in particular how 3 octaves exactly mirrors 3 frets apart, 3 strings down, across the fretboard, and how triad harmonies mirrors in octaves 3 frets apart, 3...

    The Power of the Metal Zone!

    This is the thread where the controversial, but undeniably equally popular, hated and loved, and perhaps most misunderstood distortion pedal ever, the Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, gets the love it deserves. I personally use no less than 2 Metal Zones in my setup, the original Boss Metal Zone as part...

    It seems we love luthiers!

    This is just a fun evaluation and homage to luthiers. While looking around different sub forums, I realised luthiers have way higher like to comment ratio than regular posters. Like serieously higher! :roflmao:

    PJ Appreciation Thread!

    I'm kind of surprised that, despite being a very common pup configuration, a lot of people here and on other bassist circles seem to heavily dislike PJ Basses? So I thought it would be a good idea to have an all round positive thread about all things PJ! What's your favorite PJ? What drew you...

    The Bass You've Had the Longest

    What is that one bass you will go to the grave with, that you will never sell, that you will always love (as much as you can love a bass) and have had since you can remember?

    NBD - G&L L-2000

    I've been wanting one of these for quite a while. Unknown to me though was that my wife was apparently stalking me on this. So for our anniversary in June of 2021 she sprang the surprise on me. I do love that woman! It's been a really rough last couple of years for reasons I don't really...

    So my beloved EHX Black Finger, out of production tube driven optical compressor, that run it's 2 preamp tubes at proper high 300V plate voltage, and which I really used more so as a tube preamp stage then an actual compressor (it basically being an optical compressor circuit placed between the...

    For the Love of RATs!

    So the recently reviewed MXR M85 Bass Distortion thread got me thinking why not make a more general thread for people who love Rats, Rat clones or otherwise Rat based distortion, and eventual currently use or have used it as part of their bass dirt tone to some extend. Personally I bought my...

    I Was Made To Love Her

    I am attempting to get this song down. Does anybody have any experience with learning this song? The amazing James Jamerson has got me obsessed with this song. Kind of a tricky tune. Breaking it down into sections. I found an isolated bass track on YouTube of Marcus Miller performing this...

    Ok, so this head performs wonderfully except for 2 issues. The DI out doesn't seem to be working AND the bright switch doesn't do anything. I contacted Aguilar about this, and they said it probably wouldn't take more than an hour($95) plus parts. I could send it up and resell for more, but I...

    Who was the bass player on Bellamy Brothers - Let your love flow?

    I was wondering, was it Reinie Press (from the Neil Diamond band)? Very tasty playing and entertaining bass lines to put on a simple 3 chord song:

    Rickenbacker love

    So for the past 9 months I've been using my Rick 4003 for live shows, I was always too scared to play it out before because of the risk of it getting damaged or stolen but I figured you only go around this crazy world one time so it's now or never. I play through a Ampeg SCR-DI and Gallien...

    Fender Deluxe Dimension Bass V love

    Just gotta say, my new/old 2013 Deluxe Dimension bass I picked up last week has been nothing but toneful fun! I'm deep in the honeymoon phase with it for sure. However, it's not gonna fade much. The neck profile, feel and weight/balance is pretty much the same as my 97 US J Deluxe V and 00 US P...

    Fender Bassman 135....Im in love

    Just when I thought I was over GAS, I played through a Bassman 135 from the 70s going into an ampeg svt 1x15 (loaded with a kappa lite I believe). Im just totally knocked out by the tone this amp made. I like it more than any new piece of gear I've encountered in the past 10yrs. IDK what it...

    Love the passive pickups, hate the preamp- new to DIY

    Hello! My Spector legend bass came stock with Bart P/J pickups and an active Tone Pump (with no trim pots), I want to convert it to passive only. Too broke to take it to a pro. If you have done so, how have you 'home" converted your active bass to passive? Thanks!

    Any Impressions on the strings positive or negative. It seems to me I've read more negative than positive. Thanks for your help.

    Anyone else that used to love slim neck profiles..

    But now want or need more "chunky" necks? Back before my way too long bass hiatus, I loved slim necks. Couldn't stand the necks on P-Basses. Ended up getting rid of some basses back in the late 80's and early 90's like a P and a Steinberger XL-2 just for that reason. However after my break, I...

    Many of the threads here make me itch to spend a lot of money for one or more of the latest and greatest amazing little amps. So far, I have managed to restrain myself from scratching by telling myself that I find nothing wrong with my Traynor SB112 "Small Block" amp that I bought new for...
