Congrats, beautiful basses. I have a custom shop Super PJ and it's a wonderful instrument.

High Quality 3/4 DB Gigbag - suggestions?
Happy Jack replied to Happy Jack's topic in EUB and Double Bass
Their Prestige bag is described as "Gewa-Tex" which sounds to me like an expensive way to describe nylon while making people think that it's Gore-Tex. What is yours actually made of (in the real world, not the marketing blurb)? -
Sounds like you've been really unlucky.

I transport ‘Lilly’ in a Gewa Prestige bag, which seems to be well built and robust for the price (I paid £170 from Thomann).

NBD: Rare MIJ Late 60s Traditional II Jazz w/ Matching Headstock

Lovely bass. Looks great in the video. If you can access Fender Japan's site. these are currently available as part of their MIJ Heritage Series. -
I really like the vibe of this '66 Precision that Mike Long has at the moment. It's tempting me to try a C neck again. It's all there, all original, even the case, and the weight is great. I have a guitar here which he would probably straight trade for........ hmm. https://www.atbguitars.com/1966-fender-precision-bass Rob

Forget flats and rounds - these are curlies!

Looking at the pics, they appear to be short and curlies. -

Thomastik Jazz flatwounds 6-string set (i.e. a 5-string set with an extra top C). I bought these off here in the hope they would fit either a body-thru 34" or a 35" scale bridge loading bass, but unfortunately they were too long for both. They apparently fit multi-scale/fan fret basses like Dingwalls etc, and would probably fit a body-thru 35" scale bass. Specs here: https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/thomastik-infeld-jazz-flat-wound-super-long-scale/ THESE WILL NOT FIT A 'STANDARD' 34" SCALE BASS! £35 posted (or happy to listen to offers?)

LaBella Ian Martin Allison Signature Super Polished 5-string set for sale. Bought these recently, just not the sound I was going for (at all!). They're much more like bright stainless rounds than flats. Specs here: https://www.labella.com/product/asp-45125-ian-martin-allison-signature-strings-5-string-set/ Used for a bit of noodling, a couple of practices and one gig. They're cut for a 4/1 headstock 34" scale bass, but loads left on the silks. £40 posted?

dave_bass5 started following Pick Tone and the right EQ

Ive always used a pick. Not proud of it, it's a habit I can't get out of. After 30+ years ive settled on using 1.52mm most of the time. Those EB large shield ones seem to work for me as they are quite grippy. I do very occasionally use a felt or leather pick, but only for certain songs. Always struggled with tone though. A BDDI went a long way for a couple of decades, but just recently I got an EBS Microbass 3 (and a Nux preamp). Both have sweepable mids and both have been a real eyeopener. I think in someways the BDDI was working as it was reducing some of the attack, but now I realise I was losing too much of the basses natural tone as well.

Danny Sapko discovers… (now including follow up vid that is worse!)
Cato replied to fretmeister's topic in General Discussion
Once you get beyond promoting your next gig or your mates mates posting their holiday snaps most social media is fakery to some extent. Whether it's lifestyle influencers faking an idyllic, carefree existence or the fitness fanatics who enthuse about a healthy lifestyle while neglecting to mention their own heroic steroid intake, or the straight up thieves trying to steal your money with crypto scams. Even most of the funny animal clips are clearly staged. Add in that posting content can also be highly lucrative and it's not that suprising that a lot of content creators don't seem to know or much care where the moral boundary is between presenting the best version of yourself and outright deception. I'm not sure a lot of the audience it's aimed at is that bothered either, right up to the moment the outrage bandwagon starts rolling. -
I find between 1mm and 3mm about the best gauge for me
