    Double Bass Ampeg Baby Bass Bridge Damper/Rubber Bridge Crown Part #36396

    Hi folks, The Ampeg BB comes with a rubber piece that sits on top of the bridge, which is where the strings rest (it keeps the strings from coming in contact with the metal bridge). Given that my bass is over 50 years old, this plastic piece has started to crack/disintegrate. Does anyone know...

    3 piece Stoner/Hardrock band bass

    Hey! I want to try to get a good bass that fills out our band with a good fuzzy or distorted tone without loosing the low end. And have audible bass riffs/lines without it getting too noisey. The drummer is loud, and the gituar is technical in style, ala Brent Hinds from Mastodon, with touch...

    How can you use effects to thicken the sound in a 3 piece?

    How do you use effects to thicken up the sound in a 3 piece. I saw a video on a bassist that used an octave pedal and harmonizer to create a rhythm guitar playing power chords along with his bass line and was wondering if anyone else had any tricks?

    Is this piece of Cuban Mahogany useful for a neck?

    All, A friend of mine rough milled a chunk of Cuban Mahogany hoping I could use it to make a bass neck (it's nice to have good friends). I've never made a neck before and have lots of research to do before I dive into it, but I figure I'd start by asking a few questions here. The piece is...

    Why do some Jazz Bass pickups make noise if a pole piece is touched, others don't?

    Advice needed on filling out my sound on bass
