high

I like the feel of Hi Beams on my 33" six but they're a little bright and upper mid shy for my tastes. What is out there in a six string set that has that nice taut feel but is a little warmer sounding?

**Please bear with me, I have very limited knowledge about amps but am willing to learn.** I have a Peavey MAX 115 bass amp and am experience what I believe to be clipping on high notes. I usually play an upright bass with a shadow electronics single disk transducer for a pickup. Lately I now...

I am purging out some equipment that I have had sitting in my office, barely getting used for the last few years. Everything works as it should and has been lightly used for Church gigs and rehearsals. Please feel free to message me with any questions or if I am off base on the price for...

Of course many stories of people with squiers getting told to bring a Fender. But has anybody with a mike lull, a Moollon, a suhr, a sadowsky etc been told the same thing through ignorance? Genuinely interested!

I'm new to changing out pickups. I'm looking for an overdriven, old school, tone from a bartolini size soapbar pickup to put in a 55-01

Hello all, I am considering predominately switching to acoustic basses (and acoustic instruments in general-guitar, mandolin, banjo, etc). I will still keep at least my favorite electric and my rig which is super compact anyway, but I am thinking about selling a bass and electric guitar and...

Got a Trace Elliott ELF half an hour back from the US. Plugged it in, completely forgetting the fact that the electricity in my country is 220 while on the ELF it's 110. The amp turned on, the fan started and then I heard a shrill sound, like that of an old fashioned TV being turned on, then...

I see a number of threads relating to high mass bridges but have yet to find a definition of "high mass". Is it the density of the metal it is constructed of?

This is the guy This however is the back, I put the ground tab on there because I know there should be one. Anybody explain in language that someone from the UK can understand, what I gotta do to make this a usable pickup. I got 10.6k across those two black wires, and when I connect to a...

Currently I have a carvin bx700 head with a 1000 watt epifani cabinet. I run an ibanez sr500 through a $50 digitech bass distortion pedal. The sound that I want relies heavily on distortion, and it sounds great through my 30 watt ampeg practice amp. The distortion is thick and heavy but it...

I'm good with general set ups and wood working, but I have not done fret stuff. I bought a very cheap 70s Hondo P bass that I actually like a lot. I get fret buzz on the 3rd and then more on the 4rth fret (all strings) indicating to me that the 5th fret is a bit high. Other wise the action is...

Can someone recommend a string that is high tension in ~40-100 gauge? No flatwounds please, I prefer stainless steel rounds. Thanks in advance

Hi, I was recently looking for strings for a build of mine, which is a 5-string fretless model, with a 33" scale. I'm planning to string it up with flatwound strings with a high C, but to be honest, can't really find a set in such a configuration available. I haven't had a problem with finding...

Hey, I have 2 DIY projects I want to do, HPF preamp and assembling a simple 2 way high pass crossover for my cab. Anyone want to help answer some questions for me?

I just walked into the empty teacher’s cafeteria, and this is sitting on a table near the front door. Yes, they’re dead. Is At his like some sort of God Father thing?

Well, this one is coming into play for a gig in a couple of weeks... Once again it's something that I just can't quite get 100%, especially that bass solo about half way through the tune, Im at about 80% on that and just can't get that last little bit of it. If this one works out it will...

My daughter plays upright at Delta Secondary in Ladner. The band teacher hasn’t been able to find someone to do a clinic with the bass players. I play, but I’m self taught and don’t want to pass on my bad habits to more kids! If you feel like you could help, please message and I’ll connect you...

Hey guys, Here's my transcription based on James Jamerson isolated bass track for the Motown classic by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". At the link below, you'll find; 1. My Bass Transcription/Bass TAB based on Jamerson's Isolated Bass Track. 2. James Jamerson...

Most of the comments about this is just restringing a 5 string with the strings moved down. Are there any that are designed for a high C from the ground up? Thanks in advance.

Hi all ..i have a UA twinfinity ..Avalon vt 737...do you think there is benefit to running my bass thru either of these 1st as a DI then say thru my Zoom B3n for amp and cab sims and into my interface (RME UFX)?

Let's hope not. Gibson ‘running out of time – rapidly’ | Nashville Post I really should buy this.

A great utility pedal for any bass player, in perfect condition. Shipped CONUS for the listed price.

£2500.00 Ok so bespoke 5 string EUB by Derek High for sale. Superb instrument with workmanship of the highest quality throughout. Come and have a play. Happy to answer any questions.

I'm looking into trying a set of DR strings, but the problem is that their more popular models are very low tension. I'm hoping they make something that at least has medium tension.

Tb, Not sure if anyone has posted about this new Lightning Boy Audio NuVision Tube Preamp pedal, but wow! This thing is amazing. Check out the video below, tube heaven! They build their stuff out of top notch components, and having owned several of Michael Mad Scientist contraptions, I cannot...

Awesome bass, just needs a new home. Has a small crack along the neck joint, but it appears to just be in the finish. It’s held the same for years. Come strung with flats and sounds and plays great. $230 Shipped

I'm a long time bassist of 20 years but in all honesty, I have neglected to upgrade my amp. I still use an old Peavey tko combo from 1989 that is bullet proof but lacks high quality tone. I am super sentment of that old Peavey but seriously need to upgrade. I've been more into the bass...

I currently own an Epiphone thunderbird with 0.052 to 0.110 LaBella Jamerson flats and I'm looking to raise the action as high as it can go without killing the bass. I got all the tools to adjust it according to the Fender bass guide but just recently noticed it says adjustments will have to be...

When I refer to the "high string" on a four string bass, I mean the G, because its the highest note. I have a friend who insists that the E is the "high string" because its farthest from the floor. I see his point but I like my way better. Mostly because I'm always right ;-) I didn't see...

Hi everyone, ok i'm new here but i've been playing bass warwick for 8-10 years. Basicly i'm joining a band where it need to be loud like every metal band haha... but i'd like to be clear and punchy, i have a great setup at home and feel like all sub 1500$ cabs are poopie. I want that 5 string bass...

Hey guys, I'm still trying to work out a way to get rid of some "buzziness" when using drives and distortions direct (or to the amp for that matter). I have read somewhere around here that some users, @JimmyM , for example, use filters on their tone. I've been trying to read up online about...

This has to be some kind of record! FOUR CARROTS OPTIONS! I presume this is the right place, if it ain't move it please, then slap my drummer for my sins... EDIT: I think this should be the preferred pre-begging for forgiveness line here, if I've erred, please correct, and slap my drummer for...

was given this new epiphone thunderbird for christmas and am wondering if the action is too high or if it needs a set up? I'm fortunate that my other bass was comfortable and easy but I feel I am having to push down much harder on this one and it produces quite a bit for buzz at the 1st 2nd and...

my long time bud Bob C. was playing in his oldies type band & a few years back they got hired to play el cerrito high school's ( 40th? 50th? ) class reunion party. halfway thru the evening Creedence shows up ( everybody but what's his name, ) pretty drunk & happy. they asked if they can play a...

I remember using Rotosound flats and they looked and felt like they were being pushed away from the fretboard. I'm currently using Chromes and they seem kind of high tension, but not as much as the Rotos.

Hi, im the kind of guy that uses different strings for different basses, there are some strings i know, and when i buy a new bass, i use the strings i think will suit the bass, and sometimes i experiment with strings I dont know. So last time i went to the store, i purchased a set of cobalts...
