    Multi Scale for EADGC, does it make sense?

    Hi, I am a EADGC player with a 34" regular scale bass. I like having the low notes I use to have in my 4 string bass. I like not having a very sympathetic low B to control. And I rarely use lower notes than E, and when I do I can tap on my pedalboard to get it. I like playing some chords and I...

    What’s in an inch?

    TL;DR - I am not asking whether Multiscale is worth it because that is subjective, but, since I don’t have the opportunity to test the basses myself, I am wondering the extent of the difference an inch makes on the feel of the B string. — So, after committing to trading in my SR Special 5 and...

    Fanned or Unfanned Fretless?
