I shoot the free jazz concerts held in my town and have found that at a 1/250-1/320th shutter speed you can record string vibsrations on the bass instruments. This one really shows the pattern along the string length very clearly.
Hi everyone,
Sort of new bass player here, and I finally have a rig to play on and I’m super happy with it. One thing that occurred to me though, is that I have the head sitting on top of the speaker cab, and I can’t help but wonder if all the vibration from the speaker transferring into the...
Hi all,
I have a fender rumble 500 head and the metal enclosure for the head seems to vibrate a little when playing loud on certain notes more than others. All the screws are tight. Just curious if others have this issue and what they did to fix it. I'm thinking of just sticking a bunch of...
Came upon a curious problem the other day and was wondering if it may just be a wonky string or something in my set-up. When I bow the open G-string staccato and with some force the string starts to vibrate up and down towards the fingerboard inevitably causing it to make contact and produce and...
Hey folks I was wondering if any of you had a similar issue with your terror basses or lightweight bass heads? Im trying to figure out a solution to this problem without the use of unsightly bungee cords or ratchet straps.
How can I get my amp to stay in place and not slide right off the 8x10 to...
I made this video to show how this one note causes a buzz. It’s the A note, fifth ‘fret’ of the D string
Would this be considered a dead note or a wolf tone?
If anyone has advice on what to do about this, if anything, please share.
If it were an upright bass I’d bring it to a luthier to shave...

I purchased this new, it has only been used at home a couple of times since then.
Includes original box, cable, charger.
These are $300 new, save yourself some cash with a...

I have a Markbass Little Mark 250 head which I have used several times for small shows (with a Yamaha 12" 2-way monitor but that is another story) and as a backup to my rack-mounted 1997 Ampeg B2R head. Well the Ampeg was having problems so I pressed into service the Little Mark for a smallish...
I've had this issue plaguing me for a while, maybe as long as I remember, but I've had this cabinet since my very first time playing at more than 15w practice amp volumes, so it could be I didn't have the ear for it till more recently.....
It resonates on the E-string 7th fret B / A string 2nd...
