Does anyone know what brand of strings Ibanez put on their SR305's? Only asking so I don't make the mistake of buying any - played for an hour on Sunday and now totally dead.
-
Funnily, I've been using them on my teaching basses (thus no sweaty evenings lol) but I've recently put a set on a gigging bass rather than my usual Pro Steels. I have a gig tonight that might be a hot one, so I'll have some ideas over the weekend!
Obviously with all the cold weather = no sweaty mits, strings have been lasting ages, but, I do have hands that kill strings quickly after long drenching 2 hour gig sets, so I'd expect a hit on string life generally.I've been using D'addario for many years and there's certainly other brands I have used that have died significantly faster.
Elixir are good strings, a good choice too.

Any NE soldering guri's? having a headscratch...
What's the best time to give up soldering? asking for a friend....
Ground hum, or no sound.. May have to rework some parts to fit properly in the smaller channel.Did a test run but it was getting abit unworldly.
-
Lots of ground hum with no sound in a passive instrument: The first place to look is whether or not the circuit is completed with proper grounding. If it isn't grounded then all the components are kinda acting like an aerial to noise. If the noise goes away when you turn the volume down then its between the pickups and ground, if the noise stays no matter what you do with the volume then check the ground to the volume control and to the socket.
Grab a cheap multimeter to test with - I got one for £5 just for chucking around.

Jazz/Precision Bass with Ric pick-up positions anyone? I wanna hear it out of interest!
-
@eadThank you! I would LOVE to hear it - especially as you also have EMGs on board which will be what I go for. I may choose J pickups, but now I have seen EMG P's in situ, I am intrigued!

A shout out to my grandson Oliver @Dasbassman who has just signed up here and may be one of the youngest at 13. He's becoming a fine player and also plays guitar and keys (& good vocals). I've pretty much given up gigging now so it's over to Ollie to carry the flag. He's currently playing a cheapo P style 30" Ebay bass through a Peavey combo I found cheap. He's saving for a decent 34", maybe a MIM P or similar. He also plays a US Strat (I helped find that😂) through a Marshall valvestate. I'm going to nag him to get posting now!

Hey @DasbassmanOliver! I started playing bass when I was 13 too! I messed about with guitar from the age of 8 I think, but not with any seriousness though! Bass was a different story! It's the coolest instrument Welcome aboard!

Have just become hopelessly carried away in the Maruszczyk bass configurator... oh well, there goes the morning...

It has only taken me X years to finally get round to switching out the two band Glockenklang pre in my MIJ Fender for a three band Glockenklang! It will, after many years, match its sister MIJ!
I adore my Power Jazz Bass Specials!

I have accepted an offer from a friend to play in his karaoke band. I have to learn like 40 songs for tonight...

I wish you all the best! There's nothing like the feeling of flying on the edge of your seat!
I was once called up by a mate who had 8 hours to put together a band for a headline gig for a show where the main act pulled out at the last minute. The guitarist we managed to get hadn't even heard most of the rock songs we needed for the set!
It can be done and I look back on the evening fondly as it was tense, but also so much fun as the audience were told what had happened. Good luck, you'll be fine!

The EMG GZR P pickup is SOOOOO good!!
Just dropped on one my Tokai and it sounds superb!-
What didn't you like about them? - CTS or Alpha instead then @NancyJohnson?

@andydye - Aww niiiiiiiiiice! - Funnily, I've reviewed a cheap jazz for an upcoming video in Bass Gear Magazine - and now I want a Jazz bass! I don't have one in my collection either! I'd be tempted too!
@eude - yeah, he certainly does! Now I can't stop thinking about them ha ha!!
@andydye , @eude - Thank you for asking! I think my Doodle (Sally @Rich!!) headless is going to get a sister. Another headless 6, but I've been playing with the design a bit. Some sculpting here and there and a really nice theme across the instrument that should hopefully be pretty eye catching as well as ergonomic. Nothing daft though, Jon and I like to stay tasteful!
But likewise, I'm running out of body parts to export!

I've recently started recording all my own review videos for Bass Gear Magazine based in Ohio. Yes, I still write for Bass Player Magazine as I have been every month for the last (nearly) two and a half years, but I would love for you to follow this magazine and YouTube channel too!

It does mean that I've not been posting to my own channel, but would really appreciate a follow there too, please!!

I want to produce the best videos I can, so I'll be keeping an eye on threads like these to improve my content!

Thank you @BillyBass!! Loving it!

One of my students has an awesome sounding Jazz bass. I don't actually own a Jazz bass. Now I need a Jazz bass.
If psychologists want to come and study terminal G.A.S, you know where I am... lol

This lovely bass is now sold.
