    Seeking advice: String Height even between 1st and 20th frets

    Hey everyone, would love some opinions on this. Recently I changed my strings on my short scale Serek bass. The new strings completely changed the action, and so after various saddle turns/truss rod adjustments, I am finding that the height from the 1st fret to the 12th fret is perfect, but the...

    Intrigued by an Ibanez (Mikro series) 28.6" scale bass, would love some testimonials

    Many years ago I had to renounce playing the bass due to pain in my joints in my hand/fingers. Then recently I discovered short-scale basses (30") and I was back in the game! And then I found that even medium scale basses (32") are palyable for me. In fact, in some ways I prefer the 32" - 30"...

    Scale length for 5-string tuned E to high c?

    I'd like to get an inexpensive 5-string bass for EADGC tuning (i.e., high c instead of low B).
