    Jazz 5 hide G string tuner

    Hi. I really like my Jazz 5 (4+1 tuners) but I think the G string tuner looks kind of weird and out of proportion compared to a Jazz 4. So is there any tuner that will hide the G string clover tuner and make my Jazz 5 looks like a Jazz 4?

    Weak G string on Musicman style pickup.

    Hi guys. I have a bass which has a musicman style pickup by Kent Armstrong. I'm finding the G weak. I've adjusted pickup height but it didn't work. I can't adjust the pole pieces as I think it's a blade pickup and also it's sealed with a plastic resin. Any suggestions other than adjusting...

    Aguilar AG4M semi-review/comparative Stingray 3-band EQ video

    Double Bass Why is the Corelli 370TX G string lower tension than the 370F?

    Have a set of Corelli 370Fs coming in the mail today, planning to swap them onto my 69 Kay C1 in hopes they won't bow the neck quite as much as the Spiro mittels do, and hopefully a little more forgiving with arco. I noticed on the tension chart at Gollihur that the TX (heavy gauge) G string...

    Dead G string on my reissue

    I have a 2016 Fender 63 P reissue that seems to have a dead G string. I use Thomastik J344 rounds and have swapped out 3 other strings without any improvements. The quietest area is at the E note on the G string. The other 3 strings are loud and clear. Nothing is buzzy and I've checked the neck...

    Double Bass G String too low in nut - does it matter?

    Hi, I have recently switched from Innovation silver slaps to set of gut-a-like strings and the new g-string is completely in the slot of the nut. My understanding is that the string should just sit slightly in the groove. I have read that there are lots of possible remedies for this such as...

    Dunlop Super Bright G string issues

    Hey folks, Wondering if anyone else has as much problems with the G string on the Dunlop Super Bright sets that I have. I bend/cut/wrap these strings just like any other strings I have ever used. I try to cut them so that the wrap around the peg starts with the winding and not the core wire...

    Fret Buzz - G string, 3rd Fret

    I recently picked up a MIM Fender P ("Noir") and restrung it with La Bella DTFs. After giving it a basic set-up (relief, action, intonation), the G string at the 3rd fret has developed a buzz. When I fret at the 1st, 2nd and 4th frets, no buzz. Could this be a high 4th fret that the string is...

    Double Bass G string not working...

    I have a Fujiyama FB-10L - I realize it is not a high end unit but it was very inexpensive when I bought almost two years ago and had no issues then. I am not a bass player first, so it spends considerable time 'resting' in between plays. The last time I played it was in the fall of last year...

    Lifetime BEAD player transitioning to 5 Strings, the G string is my problem

    My history, SHORT version. Started playing bass at 14 years old in the 80's. Got my first 5 banger when I was about 19, loved the B string but couldn't get used to a 5 banger. Asked a guitar tech if I could string my 4 banger BEAD, he said it was impossible and it would break my bass neck, so...

    Is the ISP Decimator II pointless when you can get a G string II?

    I've been researching the decimator II vs the G string and with money not being an issue, all I can come up with is just buy the g string. The reviews state using the g sting is better because you can track your dry signal and run the pedal through your effects loop. Well I use a Mccaffrey audio...

    G string too close to the edge of fingerboard.

    Title sums it up. I'm a total noob when it comes to lutherie. I have no idea how to do this. I have no money to spare and cannot do anything big. The string keeps sliding off.

    Skipping from G string to E string

    I was wondering how some of you deal with jumping from the G to E string or vice versa. Should I do it any differently than if I was only skipping over one string? Thanks

    DR Hi-beam Dead G String

    Action on the G string way too high

    I recently bought a Skyline 44-64 Custom and the bass sounds fantastic, however I’ve run into a problem while setting it up.

    Bad G string on new Mouse 30?
