    No, our never system, including our brain, works by exchanging electric impulses.

    So you bought a bass full of stickers, despite not liking it, just so you could complain about it on the internet? Sounds sensible.

    This is amazing!

    It would be relatively simple, uninstall the neck and hardware and electronics on/in the body, then screw the neck pocket to a piece of wood and hang it freely somewhere from there, then spray a couple of clear coats all over the body, let it dry and install the neck, hardware and electronics back on the bass. Not that you need it in this case, but might prove useful to know in the future.

    *sigh* Very strange backwards perspective. So if labour doesn't have any value, but is just an expense, then why would a company want it? You think they are running a charity or something? The product/service workers are selling is their labour, and they can do that because it has value for the companies. If a companies products increase in value so does the value of the labour of those who actually produced it.

    Which I quoted in my initial post, and the whole reason why we are even discussing this.
  10. Baloney Balderdash
    Yeah, but why is it that it is fair that the workers should pay for this alone?
  11. Baloney Balderdash
    Well, the thing is as the general prices rises, so does the value of your labour automatically, so you should get a raise. You don't get extra bread either just because the price has risen, same with the value of your labour. Why should labour not follow the general prices as the only product/service. The company you work for too charge more for their products/services, why should that not reflect the wages their workers get for actually providing these for the company? Doesn't seem fair to me.

    Stanley Clarke doesn't, he is a very tall man with huge hands, and a very skilled double bass player as well, yet he prefers to play short scale electric bass, and is even one of the absolutely legendary virtorioses at it too. I advise OP to try out both options and decide based on what feels best to them.

    These are very, as in very, reasonable priced too. I am awfully tempted to get one as well, to replace my otherwise genuinely great NUX Melvin Lee Davis Bass Preamp & DI pedal, seems for only about double the price you get a lot of extra (and potentially even also better sounding) stuff.

    Well, I don't consider a bad setup a flaw. Just because a bass has a bad setup it can still be an amazing instrument, so I don't think this would really give a realistic review of basses. It's adjustable for a reason and strings can be changed for a reason and this is two things I am going to do anyway, regardless of price tag or quality, to suit my personal preferences. Given an instrument a new set of great strings and a proper setup is as far as I m concerned the best possible pre requirements for a realistic and fair review. Reviewing the actual instrument, rather than the setup or strings.

    My main instrument of choice, my beloved, just 28.6" scale length, Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, that I named "Dud Bottomfeeder", fitted with an EMG Geezer Butler P pickup, and tuned in A# standard, tenor bass, tuning :

    And with a wider neck and fewer frets than a real short scale bass. And in most cases bigger body too. So won't really feel like a real short scale bass would. This!
  19. Baloney Balderdash
    Finish on neck and headstock would no doubt add to the price as well.

    And basses are just wood and metal.

    Well, you might find it easier to hum an interesting bassline, then copy that on bass, than coming up with it on the bass directly. In any case I think starting to think more melodically, and coherently as one single song, rather than individual blocks of chords stacked together, would be the key here.

    Couldn't you just use the other end of the cable, so that the stiff plastic bit points the opposite way, not covering the other midi port?
  24. Baloney Balderdash
    I looked for them too without luck. But my best guess is that they are working on a new version 2 with a pickup switch or a blend, instead of the P and J pickup both always full on, with no options for switching or blending, like this first version worked. I do however really love how that new shorty P Bass looks, and I actually also think the stock pickup sounds awesome. So will for certain soon get one of those.
