    Another buzz question...

    I know there are a ton of these on here, but none get at what I'm experiencing specifically... ... a buzz that only happens on the A string, any fret, and only when it's tuned to A. You can hear it through the amp. Does my head right in. I'd honestly give up on the bass before the strings, so...

    Double Bass New A strings has a slappy sound

    I just put new Helicore mediums on my 59 Kay. All of them sound great except the A, which sounds like one of those spring wall protectors when you pull it back and let it go. The string isn’t hitting anything and I play a high action, like 3/8”. I thought about moving the post around, moving the...

    This Buzz Is Driving Me Crazy

    Hello everyone, 2 days ago I purchased my first ever bass (yes, I am a beginner), Sire V7 Gen 2 Swamp Ash (5 string). As I was playing the bass at home, without an amp, I noticed the A string was buzzing. It was buzzing when no fret was being pressed on. When I start pressing on the 1st and...

    Broken TI Jazz Flat A string

    Hello all, Last Saturday I broke the A string at a gig. These were TI jazz flats only 3 months old. Has anyone else experienced string breakage on fairly new TI jazz flats or other quality issues? I am contacting TI directly about this problem.

    I want my pickups flipped and a string through body. ( Fender )

    I have built my 2018 Fender deluxe active p bass special. I basically bought the body and neck from the strostphere and did the rest. I just don’t like the Stock EQ /electronics/ pickups along with a few other things. So I bought the neck and body and saved a tone of money by doing it this way...

    Extremely annoying A string noise

    Hi everyone, A few months ago I began playing bass, and bought a second hand left handed Stagg bass. However, my A string has a very weird and very annoying noise, mainly when it's played open. It sounds chorusy and much higher than it should do normally, even if it's detuned. The sound only...

    Is G on the E string the same as G on the A string?

    I'm about to return this book to the public library tomorrow & was reviewing it for the umpteenth time in the park today: Well, this struck me as wrong, but maybe it was done for simplicity's sake. How could the G on the E string (right side) be the same G on the A string (bottom left)...

    Stupid question about muting

    Recently I've been experimenting with many different plucking hand muting techniques and I realized that ring and pinky muting is very popular. For example, when you play the G string, your ring finger will rest on the A string and your pinky will rest on the E string, keeping them quiet. When I...

    Low output on A and D string

    Greco Rick 'faker, ceramic magnet pups. Never really noticed it before as the bass was in for some fret-work and I took forever to pick it up but tonight I noticed the A string doesn't ring fully. Nothing is inhibiting it but when I played a few runs across all four strings the output of the A...

    A String Retainer

    I'm looking at a particular Vintage Fender P with an A String Retainer on it. Since most of the Basses that I play do not have this, I'm asking is this a good feature to have? Is it just for style, like the famous "Tug Bar" that is obsolete? Just wondering what anyone's thoughts are about it.

    I've been playing for about 35 years - most of the time with a Fender Jazz. My string of choice during that period was Rotosound Swing Steels. I have a Precision, and have been trying to find a string I like. I want to stick with round wounds, but something with a warmer sound - the swing...

    Just broke a string.

    Bought a Fender MIM Jazz the other day. As part of my new(to me) purchase, I bought a fresh set of D'Addario NYXLs. Going through the stretching process and the D string snapped. Such heart break and disappointment.

    Hey dudes, I have my Lakland DJ4 strung with some LaBella flats.

    Does adding additional pickups change the way strings vibrate?

    I'm no scientist, but it seems like the more magnets there are close to the strings, the more the strings will be "pulled" back to their default non vibrating state. Is that true? -Would the same bass with two pickups have less sustain than the bass with one pickup? -Does it ever become a...
