Make a star grounding, that's the best way to ground. Ans all cavities must be grounded otherwise it's a useless job. Aluminium is very good for grounding, but is impossible to solder (with tin) hence the use of copper.

Are your cavities all connected to the ground ? If not, it could solve the problem. That and check the conductivy between bridge and ground : the closest to 0 (zero) Ohm, the better.

Nobody mentioned a spare guitarist, drummer, keyboardist and singer... 🤣

Just watched the video, lots of mistakes and omissions in it... Even if it's interesting. The first Precision Bass had bakelite saddles, not carbon, that had a tendency to break. The pickguard was in wood first painted in black (over a can), then bakelite, then plastic. The first electric bass player was indeed the vibraphonist Lionel Hampton, but the first real electric bass player to record with it was Monk Montgomery in 1953. He played the Precision Bass because Lionel Hampton insisted on it when he joined back the band in 1952. He then only played an electric bass with his thumb, just line his brother Wes playing the guitar. He is also known to have been the best Fender bass ambassador over the early years. The 1968 Fender tuners or machine heads are referred as Lollipop tuners. The action on James Jamerson's funk machine was high because the truss rod was broken, not because he was a double bass player, but the fact he was one pmade it happen because this higher action wasn't an issue for him. He also never changed the strings on his bass unless they broke. The 1981~1983 era is known as the Dan Smith era. And so on... The reference books are forgetting The Fender bass by Klaus Blasquiz who met Leo Fender and George Fullerton to write his book about these basses. The book was published a month after Leo's death and was, at the time, the best documented book about the Fender basses, with Leo and George approval.

A bit late, but it's also found in Leduc basses under the name EL-5 or EL-10 (twin preamp). I also PM'ed you. 😉

🤣

Yes, that's what makes this way of putting them on the fingerboard very interesting.

This is my preferred dots position and also my main bass :

For the moment it's a Kalium 192 taper core string. It's this set exactly : https://kaliummusic.com/product/string-pack-1s2d2v333b3j3p63/ But I'm waiting for a quote for nickel hexagonal exposed core strings from a French string manufacturer nearby or I'll put some Newtone taper core nickel as I like them a lot.

Better photos of this amazing Noguera YC 8 Custom, love this beast !

So Pablo Picasso painted similar things, just like his Blue Period, Rose Period, Cubism Periods (there were two), Surrealistic Period, and his early years that were hyper realistic paintings... Don't think were are talking the same language here. Sorry.

My new toy, a Noguera YC 8 Custom... 8 is even better than 7.

Nice left hand extension ! 👍

Nope, get an 8 strings bass. 🤣

That's me this Saturday giving a run to my new Noguera 8 strings bass at our small comity Bass Bash at home...

If you have an invoice with your name on it, it should work. In fact, they asked for an invoice, in my case.

As it was mentioned earlier, following a message from Madinter I got the 28th of August : WARNING: This change will come into effect 90 days from today. 😉

I learned to play the sitar a while ago, you can hear it here : http://users.skynet.be/sb134986/Stabushu_Raga.mp3

As mentioned earlier by some people here, it's a known fact that the Hercules grip on these stands simply explode over the time even if simply and correctly stored. Mine were stored for a year or so in the attic (stable temperature and humidity, just in case) and the plastic had become sticky when I decided to use them again. It's a form if depolymerization of the bad quality plastic they used around 2011~2014. Hercules offered me to exchange them without discussion. So if you have some sticky grips on yours, there is absolutely no guru cure, but write to Hercules with a photo of the grip and they'll send you a new one. I fixed some of mine with a threaded screw with handle like this : ... And now they are rock solid. To me the Hercules stands are still the best ones. 😉

Welcome to the 6 (and more) strings basses world. This Cort C6 is a good choice, don't worry. But as you'll become familiar with the BassChat community, you'll start your never ending gas. 😉 Have fun, mate.
