    Have you ever had(or at least witnessed)a “Tap” moment?

    A few weeks ago was the 40th anniversary of the release of the movie, and even though I’ve watched it a billion times, as an edited version popped up on IFC, I plunked down once again. There was nothing else going on anyway, and even though it’s cringingly dated for the most part, there’s still...

    TL;DR: check your bridge screws. My father's BB3000S was the first instrument I learned to play bass on, but for 25 years I always felt like it was missing something, tonally. No punch or sustain, no snap or impact, and certainly no transfer of playing harder into it making it louder or...

    Compression, sustain, and necessity

    Hey all, The mxr m87 is $300 in Canada and I can get a like-new one for 175. Pretty good price, but I just don’t know if i need a compressor. I read that dynamic control is in your fingers and using a compressor is cheating … i don’t care if I’m cheating, but i do also highly value technical...

    Double Bass Help with volume & "Growl"

    I recently found and bought an old German Bass. Everyone's best guess seems to be "old German" and possibly Juzek from sometime between 1880 and 1920(ish). Gamba style bout. The only label inside is a repair label with Germany on it. Obviously restored with fingerboard, hatpeg tuners, endpin and...

    Steel Vs. Zinc Vs. Brass Vs. Aluminium bridge, any tone difference?

    I just swapped a brass bridge with brass saddles to a slightly higher mass steel bridge with steel saddles, but while the tone definitely got brighter with more clank, grind and bite, and the strings also sustains longer now, that could easily be contributed alone to the fact that I changed the...

    Better Way to Measure Bass Sustain?

    Comparing sustain on different basses seems to be a somewhat subjective exercise. The method I have heard espoused is to pluck a string and time how long you can hear it. So, you are never going to pluck the string the exact same way any two times, and you may not hear the end of the audible...

    Cort C4H Bass Fret Noise Issue...

I have an issue with my Cort C4H 4-string bass guitar which I can't seem to find a solution to: when I fret roughly from the 5th fret (mainly on my low E string) upwards, I get this strange, muted, almost buzzing sound... It's not like normal fretbuzz which has a sharper sound, it's...

    Body-through strings have more sustain than top-loading bridges, right? So, would a Badass bridge essentially give the added sustain of body-through stringing?

The low notes seemed to have richer, more complex frequencies than any other bass I've played. I think I grasped what some...

I have read that some flats are like that due to the thickness of the core. So...
