    Show Your 5 String Short Scale Bass!

    I realize there probably won't be many people having one, since it is somewhat a small niche with not a lot of options on the market, but if you do post a picture of yours with a few words about it. Mine is a 5 string Ibanez GSRM25 Mikro bass, with a just 28,6" scale length, poplar body, maple...

    NBD: Coffee table 6'er trigger (and very long post) warning

    I usually don't do a general NBD thread, but this bass is the result of a lot of experimentation and came out pretty much exactly as planned so I figured it deserved it's own coming-out party. I've also had it for a month or so and it has been out on a couple of different gigs so the honeymoon...

    17mm tuner post in 18mm hole? Bushings available?

    I've got a MIM 5 string jazz that would use some lighter tuners. I've posted about this before but have done more research. My bass has 18mm post holes...which seems to be the limiting issue. I *could* go with Hipshot ultralights, but they would be shave 6 ounces and cost about $155 for a set...

    synth/octave bass.... yes another synth bass post

    Having been through a bunch of octave pedals (old OC2, Octabvre, Bass Octave Dlx, Vintage Bass Octave, Octamizer), I'm still looking for that super deep super smooth synth tone ala moog phatty. The track below kinda hints at the level of deep and smooth I'm after (obvs the degree of sustain...

    First Post- Not a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass.

    Just found this forum.. I’m NOT a Bass Player, just a guy that plays bass. Maybe? On Friday afternoons, I put on my Ramones (1st album) record which is great because it’s “stereo” so on one channel it’s all guitar, drums and vocals, and on the other channel it’s all bass, drums and vocals. So I...

    NAPD (New amp and preamp day) post - ART SLA-2 and Tech21 RBI

    I had a Dynacord (1970s German hybrid amp and matching cabinet) setup at the practice space for a couple of years. Nothing wrong with it, but one time I tried an Ampeg V4 guitar amp instead. To make a long post short, the fuse blew on the amp, and I had already transported the Dynacord setup...

    Dan Smith Era Fender collectors?

    after reading Interview: Fender Visionary Dan Smith on How to Turn Around a Faltering Guitar Brand | Bacon's Archive I've become extremely interested not only in the history of Fender in general (I'm currently reading "How the Fender Bass Changed the World" and have a copy of "Sound Heard round...

    Double Bass Sound post hard & fast rules?

    Recently purchased an old GAF 3/4 double bass w/ a dropped sound post for arco work. Took it to a local luthier & had it re-installed, only to find the post only fit under the inside foot of the bridge on the treble side. This leads me to believe the previous owner had it cut to this length to...

    Where are drafts created while typing a post saved?

    Pretty self explanatory. A popup shows periodically in the lower right of the post window while typing saying "draft saved" - well , I just had a power outage and a post reverted to about 5% of what I'd typed - but I can't find the draft anywhere. Anyone?

    Allparts TK-7567 Lightweight large Post Bass Key

    Link here. An acquaintance is putting together a parts build, with a Might Mite neck. Assuming the diameter of the holes for the tuners is "Vintage Fender" (think Schaller BMFL) would the above fit? I can't find exact dimensions. Anyone have experience with them? Alternative suggestions, bearing...

    So I had an interesting morning. I have new to me 2006 Lakland 5501 that I have had for a couple of weeks and I have logged 20-25 hours on including two church sevices without issue. This morning when I plugged in to practice I had no sound coming from the bass. I checked though my...

    Double Bass sound post ?

    I'm getting ready to setup the old Kay bass for the first time. Will need strings, shape new nut and saddle. The sound post that came with the bass is way to short so I ordered a new one. I taped a wood spacer on the end to practice setting the post and try to get a idea how long my new post...

    Finding that mystery flatwounds post

    Somewhere on a flats thread some wizard once posted a tip on setting up for perfect low action with flats. It went something like tightening the truss, lowering the bridge then loosening the truss off a bit...but I can't remember it clearly, it's too vague. Whatever it was I've searched for it...

    Double Bass Hello, First post, first question

    I want to get a double bass. Saw a black William Lewis and Son on letgo. Every google search leads me here, to an old thread. Is there anywhere else I can go to find info? This may be a no go, as I assume the “1/2” note means 1/2 size bass. I would prefer 3/4. I posted a pic of the tag...
