    How much do looks really matter?

    What are your thoughts on gig attire? I play in a local originals rock/indie group, nothing major or much of a following but we’re starting to get some traction. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what to wear to gigs, what I should wear anyway. Normally my mind set has been wear what’s...

    Healthy fret wear for a vintage bass?

    Hey all, I've had my eye on a 1977 Greco bass for quite a while now, and I contacted the seller to ask about condition of the neck, frets, etc. The seller told me that about 60-70% of the original fret material is remaining. Now I've never paid that much attention to fret wear or considered...

    Double Bass Help with endpin wear?

    Hey cats - can anyone recommend how to deal with the endpin internal degradation seen here in the pics? The nut is losing a fair amount of stability as the slot it goes into widens and the internal collar is failing. Thanks in advance!

    Wear and tear, the double edge sword (axe?)

    Morning all, hope everyone is having a decent Sunday so far... So, I was doing my usual weekly to fortnightly deep clean on my 2012 USA fender jazz this morning and noticed its really starting to pick up a fair few minor scratches and a couple of minor dings now, it's to be expected from an...

    How high or low do you wear your bass?

    Ok, ladies and gentlemen. Take it easy on me since this is my first thread post. I am posting this just because I always get my chops busted by my band mates that I wear my bass like a tie. I like wearing my bass pretty high and am comfortable that way, even though I just started playing a...

    thumb wear on Warwick

    HEY, I am starting to get a bit of thumb wear on my 97 corvette. Is there any preferred way of touching this up so it doesn't get any worse? I was thinking of putting some vinyl dots or something as a temporary measure but someone else might have a better idea for a more permanent and...

    String wear?!

    My flats are sooo dead, tension has become low, feels like playing rubber strings. They are Pyramid Gold's and I love their feel and tone, great strings, but I use quite a lot of attack most of the time, bend them and stuff. This is kinda how they look now after just 6 months: Yes, I'm...

    I don't like being told what to wear.

    After essentially what was a bad performance, the singer (and the guitarist, but not as much) has been looking into the extraneous details of the last show, and basically blaming the crowd for not getting into the music. I think they are being ridiculous and unprofessional. At the show, both of...

    Gig: Black Tie Gala - What Do You Wear?

    It's been awhile since we did a Black Tie event. It's a huge event with cocktails, schmoozing, dinner, speakers and dancing. I smart enough to know cargo shorts are a no-no even if they are black. My experience tells me in lieu of tuxes or suits, it'd be ok to perform with black dress shirts...

    Fret wear on flatwounds, how much is too much?

    I'm sure this has been discussed at length, but I couldn't find any other threads that really answered my question (feel free to link if you know where they are). I have had a set of EB cobalt flats on my j bass for maybe 4 months. I've only been playing with flats on my electric for a couple...

    Clothes you're not allowed to wear out anymore...

    Well, after maybe 8 years of stalwart service, I've been told by my better half that a favourite fleece sweater of mine has to go. The fact that it's my most comfortable go-to piece of clothing has no importance. It is decidedly shabby, I'll agree, but I feel that suits my personality. This has...

    When I see a bass with a lot of wear on it, the first thing I think ...

    Let's try and not turn this into another relic good vs. relic bad discussion. Relics (assuming they started with Fender) have been around ruffly 20 years. In that time, the number of old looking instruments has increased much more than it would have without relics. I am curious as to how this...

    What Do You Wear On Stage? Should a Bass Player Just Blend In?

    I play in a band that is fronted by two guitarists and a lead singer who are half my age. They all dress well (country/pop band) I've wondered sometimes if it's best to just wear black and stand back (they are also much better looking than me as well), but the other members are also very...

    Extra-long strings, and Rotosound fret wear

    Hey people, I've got a question or two that may seem unrelated, but they actually are. I'm building a fanned-fret 5er, which has a bit of extra length in the tail and where the B string has a 36" scale. For that B string the pertinent dimensions are: Ball end to bridge witness point: appx. 2"...

    Bass Strings - fingers worn out

    Fretless String Wear

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I've had this fretless Warwick RockBass Streamer for about 4 months now with the stock roundwound 'Wick strings on it. Finally went to change the strings today. I'm a noobie. Is this too much wear on the fingerboard? Should I switch to flats?

    Does anyone care about strap color?

    Usually I do. Sunburst gets a brown strap. Natural basses might get a tan colored strap. Some get black depending on what color they are and I try to match them to my different basses. Since lots of people care so much about the color of their bass, the strap you wear with it is somewhat...
