    What Bass is this?

    Just came across this weirdly shaped bass online. I saw a pic of Jaco playing one which peaked my interest all of a sudden. Can someone tell me more about these basses? Like who played them and if they still produce them. I can't believe in all my years I'm just discovering this now... Thanks!

    Eden EN400 Nemesis Output Issues

    Hi all! Over the past... Well... Forever, honestly, I've been having this strange issue with my amp. It's an Eden EN400 Nemesis 400W bass amp going into a 4 Ohm Eden 2x10 cab. Since I mostly record my bass through DI, it goes (relatively) long stretches without being used. Usually, when I turn...

    Walking Bass????

    when everything's playing, she sounds close to an upright in the mix. Once it's quiet I can hear the difference. Still kinda cool.

    Help Identifying Weird Fernandes?

    Can anyone help me identify a weird Fernandes? Got a guy wanting to trade me this for an Eastwood guitar and I can't find a single shred of evidence that it has ever been produced by Fernandes so I can't verify it's even real. It looks more like a Jackson or Charvelwith a new headstock logo but...

    How do I achieve this weird tuning? D2, G2, C3, F3

    I'll spare you the long story that lead me to wanting to do this. I'll just say that I basically want a four string bass strung starting at the top two strings and continuing on. or, I suppose, the top three strings of a 6 string with an additional F string (which would be the 7th string).

    Weird octave tone on higher frets

    Looking for any insight on this, and hopefully a solution. I don't know how to best describe it. Haven't heard it on other basses or guitars. I have a 70's Electra Long Necker, a Fender Jazz copy. - As I play on the upper frets I hear a tone that sounds like the opposite octave tone. It...

    Using root beer extract to stain wood: is the idea terrible, or merely weird?

    I know it's at least weird, but if a person doesn't mind going a bit outside the box, would it work? Just brainstorming, and I thought, hey, I like root beer, and that stuff stains like mad, a lot of basses are dark brown anyway, maybe it'd be funny to stain a bass with root beer extract. It...

    Speaker farting only when in cab... Weird

    Why weird gauges?

    I'm going through my box of string sets and notice that some string sets have really weird gauges. For example, Dean Markley Bass Blue Steel strings are .046, .063, .080 and .102 gauge.

    Weird Noise
