Bassment

I've got a nice Bacchus Woodline active Jazz Bass, but over the years the neck bent severly. Bacchus doesnt answer my mails and the local luthiers cost me more than a new bass. So, now to my question: I have the hardware and electronics of the Bacchus bass and I want to know, which bass can be a solid replacement for upgrading. I dont live in the US and importing from Warmoth costs me quite a lot. I've been thinking of a Marcus Miller V3 or a Cort GB34 JJ.

Do you have other recommendations or ideas? Any help would be nice!

Can‘t find much about their cabs online, especially this specific reflex one.

Few details have been shared as to what products will be available but Fender and Mission Engineering have promised a full line priced from $499 to $3,299, with “historic reproductions” joined by new designs “that incorporate modern technology to meet the needs of today’s musicians”.

July 27 (Reuters) - Randy Meisner, a co-founder of the Eagles who sang lead on the 1975 hit "Take It to the Limit," died on Wednesday of complications from lung disease, the band said on its website on Thursday. He was 77.

My Warwick strap locks have worn out and snapped off right in the middle of filming a music video..

Which strap locks did you find reliable? Afaik Schaller and Dunlop offer some, but I've never seen them in use.

I'm contemplating to build a bass after I'm done with my other projects, so I was wondering what specs others are into. Would you go with:

• A wax finish or color coating?
• How many strings do you prefer?
• Fretless, fretted, or even fan-fret?
• What about scale length?

So many options there. What would you do if money wouldn't matter?

I'm curious what Amp Simulators y'all enjoy and recommend.

I've been using GK Amplification 3 Pro from Audified, specifically the 800RB.

What I like the most is that they keep stock of their full production line. Would you pay a visit if you were in Japan?

I wish I knew sooner that while fun, no piece of fancy new gear is gonna make me a better player in any way. What advice would you give to your younger self?

Is there any specific song, lick or pattern you‘re working on? I‘m a bit out of my practice routine but would like to get back into it with fresh ideas. Ever since I‘ve been playing in a band, practice turned somewhat into stale song repetition, if any.

I like the aesthetics and that the compressor has a gain reduction visualizer, but for that price they seem like collectors items. I'll stay with the onboard compressor of my Hartke amp.

Is there a piece of gear that you deem invaluable? Came in clutch in a dire situation? Or you just love it so much you take it everywhere? Let’s share our most beloved equipment!

UPDATE: No Update tonight. Lemmy Version 0.18 turned out to be unstable, so the update will be delayed until a fix is available.

While Wong is known for his infamous guitar skills shown in "Vulfpeck", Wong is also an amazing bass player and songwriter. I'm looking forward how the album's gonna turn out.

Hey, guys. I paid $30 for some tabs, but they're way too hard for me to work out. It's mostly the timing I'm struggling with (I'm used to yousician and songsterr telling me when to play a note) and my ear isn't good enough to work it out just from listening to the original song. Is there any software that can either output the audio or even just add a timing guide like songsterr? Thanks.

Hi, hoping you might have some recommendations! I just play for fun and I'm very much a beginner. I'm not going to make any money out of playing, so I don't want to spend loads on pro gear. I just want something cheap to record my bass playing onto my PC just for my own personal practice.

I've seen some guitar jack to USB cables on ebay. Are they any good?

What do you like the most about it?
