    Getting the sound of a BTB, but with a traditional look?

    One of the guys who plays bass at my church has a BTB675. I absolutely love the way it sounds and plays, but I really prefer a more traditional looking instrument. I know the sound is impacted a lot by the neck-thru design, the preamps, and the Bart BH1 pickups (which only seem to be available...

    Traditional-look 5-string bass with Bartolini BH1 pickups?

    My friend has an Ibanez BTB675 bass. It sounds terrific! However, I prefer a traditional look. I know the neck-through construction and preamp play a major role in the overall sound. Are there any 5-string basses that have these pickups, or can fit them without routing work, but still look...

    Why are traditional Christmas songs so hard for me?

    I really struggle with some traditional Christmas songs. "O Come O Come Emanuel" is my Waterloo. Why can't I play this stupid song? It is not that hard but for some reason I can't play it without mistakes. I also sometimes struggle with songs like "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By...

    Bass setup - balanced tension vs. traditional tension strings

    I just swapped my strings for a set of Kaliums today and am curious if I should be considering anything when fine tuning my setup for these new strings. A question for you balanced tension string users - did you change anything about your setup when moving from 'regular' strings to balanced...

    Are traditional class A/B solid state amps doomed?

    Hi. First time poster. I'm a guitarist who is interested in bass amps, as I'd like to get one for my home studio for practice so my friends who play bass don't have to haul stuff to my place & up the stairs - all the time. (I already have a nice drum kit for same reason. It's great.)...

    Traditional saddle kit to Fender Deluxe Precision bridge

    Can I put traditional 70's style saddles to a Fender Deluxe Precision bridge? The grooves on the Deluxe Bridge saddles are stupid. No way to get a sensible string spacing. What were they thinking?

    18mm width neck, traditional looking basses, ideas?

    I have a friend that plays Lakland basses & the neck size & width is causing some hand fatigue. Any suggestions I could recommend for a Lakland style bass with a narrower/slimmer neck width, and/or profile? Also something rather traditional looking (fenderish)? Thanks for any suggestions!

    Mesa Boogie Standard Powerhouse 6x10 vs Traditional

    Anyone ever compared the two Powerhouse 6x10 cabs... Standard and Traditional? I know the Standard is ported while the Traditional is sealed, but are there any significant advantages to one over the other?

    Street Smarts or Book Smarts

    Lately I've been thinking a lot about my journey to and through bass. I started with guitar and had lessons for a brief time in my early teens. I dropped music all together in my late teens and picked up bass at 30 and have been playing steadily for the last 5 years. I get the itch now and...

    Non traditional Christmas Songs

    I thought I throw this out there to try and come up with a list of some modern Christmas songs that aren't your traditional carol style songs. My favorite of all time is by an Aussie singer songwriter by the name of Paul Kelly. I'm probably a lot biased to this song due to his being Australian...
