Loose string tree or maybe a loose screw in the bridge somewhere?

If you have two bodies, few @Kiwi necks, few pickups, and two electronics, there are already LOTS of choices. Add a painting and hardware scheme, and we can talk about a custom. A SHELL yellow P body (chambered or light swamp ash), an unlined MM neck, a J bridge and a humbucker neck with coil-tap, black hardware, V/B/T/B. Where to find one? Available in 3 months? I could seriously consider one. If @NancyJohnson sources pickup routings, I could source electronics and pickups myself.

Hey, everyone! Long-time reader, first-time poster. I'm Brim, I recently bought an Ibanez SRMD200 (medium scale). She's Candy Apple Red and plugged into a NUX 8BT when not plugged directly into my PC. I'm really new to bass and hoping to get some advice from more experienced players. Cheers

Thanks. I really can’t stand the BBOT even though I know it works ok. Just looks so naff.

I think I’m going to give the FI v4 a go listening to those - there’s some excellent sounds there, at least I can get hold of one of these 😁 I like the Chaka Khan ones on the playlist especially. Tbf I have heard of multiple people that the tracking on the v4 is outstanding

Been there, it’s infuriating isn’t it?

Don't know who wrote this, but it must be another amp or maybe the mini one or a truly bad instrument plugged in and maybe a bad cabinet too... The other half of the bass duet was using a GR Bass One 350 head coupled to a GR Bass 112H and Wi was using a GR Bass Combo 800, tone wise they were very similar and both transparent when flat, but for some it could mean dull if the bass plugged is dull, lacking some brilliance and depth as it's the down side of a transparent amp... I've owned a few GR Bass heads, cabs and combos over the years and they are not what the description says.

Yep, 2ch/1RU and only secondhand, but they made heaps of them and I've owned many and never had one fail. Great units, I still have a couple of the C models in my rack.

I asked a question and slagged no one. Feel free to keep you asinine comments to yourself in future, and to imagine how blunt my reply to you would actually be IRL.

@Hellzero saw this user review for the One 350 on Thomann - would you agree with any of this? ”The most important criterion, the sound, and unfortunately it's not very spectacular, I primarily lacked transparency/presence across all frequency bands, somehow the overall sound just completely lacks brilliance and depth, the whole thing was somehow very dull, that's how it was.”

Fired by WhatsApp. I discovered that when I saw I was deleted from the band's WhatsApp group. The Band leader didn't bother to tell me, but I wasn't surprised as he is a narcissistic a*hole and that's putting it mildly. I have to admit to a certain amount of relief that I didn't have to deal with him anymore!

Crumbs thats super pretty

They weren’t compared to the SVT we compared it against but that’s not a fair fight. 😂😂

@Hellzero thanks! I’d also looked at the GR One manual but couldn’t find that bit, just the reference to the studio mode for the higher models. Being able to turn the fan off is certainly promising.

That's a fine looking thing, even by ACG standards.

To my knowledge I have never played in a band with anyone holding far right, racist or homophobic views. Such views are abhorrent, but if they keep their opinions to themselves I don't see why I shouldn't be in a band with them. The situation would change, and I would be happy to have strong words, if they were openly expressing such nastiness.

And I did wonder if the Lull M4V is the Warmoth smaller Jazz body, but couldn’t be arsed to look and compare. Anyways, we met Mike and he was cool, and his basses feel amazing, so just saying.

Rudymental.

well, just to wander further off the point (whatever it was), have a different take on the fretted/fretless combo bass. I've always admired the sensitivity and taste of cronos' fretless playing If memory serves, Lee Sklar had mandolin frets fitted to one of his basses so he could emulate fretless style sounds
