    Best Guage for a low B ?

    I do all my 4 string bass’s as BEAD and always use bright round wound low B strings of various brands to get a bright clean non-muddy sound. I try 125, 130 and 135 gauges but was wondering if one of those gauge sizes would give me more of the bright defined sound I’m always wanting,,,,, or does...

    Double Bass Good Pickup For Low B 5-String

    Last year I got a full-size 5-string and have been having fun trying it out. It did well with the symphony, but I really want to use it for jazz gigs. The bass came with an Underwood pickup that seemed to work well enough, until it died. I have since tried Realist copper & lifeline pickups...

    Schaller 3D-5 Bridge with a .140 B, is it possible?

    Hi all. A quick question for owners of a Schaller 3D-5, bridge can you fit a .140 B string with this bridge? Some sites list a .135 as the maximum, however if I were to get a .140 with a bridge taper would it fit? The reason I ask is that I have an Ibanez GSRM25 28.6” 5 string Mikro bass...

    Short Scale B Strings

    I'm using a LaBella tapered .128 now, tuned to C on a 30" bass. It's okay, but it's got issues. Anybody find a short B string they love? I prefer flats, but I am open to trying anything that may be crisper and more usable up the neck.

    Yamaha BB435 - B string problem. Help me!

    Completely removing the spring on the low B saddle?

    How well does the most recent Digitech Bass Whammy track the open low B string on a 5 string bass?

    I just want to know if it can actually track it and how well it sounds when I hit the open low B string using it on +1oct up and +2oct up. Has anyone tried it that way? I’ll mainly use it to make it sound like a guitar adding distortion and some delay. Thanks!
