    Let's Get Some Action Going!

    So what kind of string action do you prefer? Personally I prefer just around 2mm ~ 5/64" or slightly bellow, low E string measured at 12th fret, and my main is even ever so slightly bellow at the last fret, probably closer to 1.5mm ~ 4/64" at 12th fret. And that is without any fret buzz what...

Mine is a 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro bass, with a just 28,6" scale length, poplar body, maple...

    Showing off your ankles in long pants

    Has anyone else noticed how the young people today are bearing their bear ankles in long pants that are too short for them? In San Francisco, I've seen how pants are intentionally rolled up to expose bear ankles or wildly colorful socks that do not match the pants. Is this a fashion trend or is...

    What do say when people ask about your band?

    My menu of responses: To my friends: “It’s a stinky little bar band.” 2. To strangers: “We’re big in Hartford.” 3. To people at a club who want to know if tonight’s band is any good: “We suck, but here we are anyway. It’s a mystery to me, too.” :D

    Anyone using rolling hydraulic lift carts to load your heavy gear?

    I must confess that I love the sound of heavy old cabs and EV and JBL K drivers. I know that there are lightweight options that sound very good, but they are all pretty pricey. I am getting older and my bones and joints are starting to give me warnings. Today I discovered this. I could get one...

    TI’s from Canada

    TI JF344 long scale Jazz Flats cost $81.99 Canadian atInvalid Link Removed. That’s about $62.00US vs $84.29US for the same set at Juststrings.com. Gotta love when the Canadian dollar goes for a dump against the US dollar but the Canadian price doesn’t rise to match the difference, eh?

    Lakland Skyline Hollowbody 30" owners - Your string experience

    I purchased a Lakland Skyline Hollowbody 30" a few months ago and love it. I generally like flats and have TI Jazz flats on my Jazz. I'm wondering what strings TB'ers who have actually owned or played the Skylineline Hollowbody 30" have liked, and why. Apparently the TIs won't actually fit on...

    Your favorite fingerboard to pair with a mahogany body?

    I've recently developed an appreciation for how awesome mahogany is for a bass body. My bass is paired with an ebony fingerboard and I don't think it could sound any better than it does now. What is your favorite fingerboard to pair with a mahogany body?

    Lakland 55-01 owners, do your saddles look like this?

    To me, my bridge saddles seem to be angled very far back. My action is set pretty low. It was anywhere between 3/32 to 5/32 at the 16th fret (I think) before, then I raised it, giving each saddle screw a full turn. I didn‘t measure the action height. Is this normal for the saddles to be this...
