Ha love it. what did you use?

I have a THR10. Superb bit of kit but a tad pricey. Another option is a Roland Basscube 30 - these are also excellent

TC are saying on their Facebook page that if works well on bass. I do like the Spectracomp on my RH750 so hopefully it's like that. Retail at 129€, release date of end October.

If buzzing all over, raise the strings a tad, if buzzing is in lower frets then loosen truss rod a bit, if it's upper fret buzz tighten the truss rod.

All over the neck or in the lower frets or in the higher frets?

As the stem is normally matched to the machine head gearing, I'd be surprised if you can separate them. Best to buy a new set of tuners? http://www.allparts.uk.com/pages/tuning-keys-for-bass

It generally refers to optimising the playability (i.e.how good does the guitar feel to you to play) by making small adjustments to the neck relief, string height, pickup height, string spacing, amongst others. manufacturers often publish default specs but there's no real definite measurements - it can vary by person. YouTube does have some good videos on how to do these things - just search on 'setup' and whatever bass you have. You don't need a huge amount of special tools and it's hard to do any real damage. it's all actually very simple to do yourself and you get to know what minor tweaks to do to suit your own playing style. If you're nervous about doing this, your local guitar shop should be able to advise you on someone local who can help.

As above, it may be worth looking at your playing style too rather than assume it's a straight forward bass weight problem. Obviously a good strap helps in spreading the weight but if your left arm is twisted or tensed then this can result in shoulder and back pain.

Ah thanks yes, that's a way round it that works! Would prefer a mobile version solution though from a readability perspective...

sorry if this has been covered before - when opening a thread with many pages to it on the mobile version, there seems to be no way to go to the latest page without first visiting each in sequence? When a thread hits more than five pages I tend not to open it nowadays...am I missing a simple way of skipping to last page? Thanks Steve

Maybe get an independent local bass player who you trust to review the recording and you can go through it together and identify the pros and cons of this tuning. It might have worked, who knows...

Well your thread convinced me to buy one too and I also have a CMD121 so you better be right!! If I don't sound like you or Nate then it's going straight back!😉 On a side note, the prices of these have just received a hefty hike on a lot of the major sites.

[quote name='3below' timestamp='1440839749' post='2854206'] Likewise, and for the same model bass they are very different to play. Linking in with Alyctes idea of a database of bass dimensions, why not make cardboard templates of the profiles at nut / first fret and 12th fret. Photograph the profiles with ruler scale in picture. +1 to Manton Customs, it is all personal preference. [/quote] Like this idea. Being able to visualise something and then relate it to an existing bass that you've played would really help.

Bit harsh? maybe an innocent mistake?

I have a Coronado and a Chowny and prefer the Chownys sound and the weight - it's only a tad over 7lbs. You could always consider a Epiphone Jack Casady too?

I have flown several times and always used a Hiscox case, checked in to hold. Duct tape round the catches but not locked. Always been fine for me.

I have the 10, not the 10C. For practice it is absolutely brilliant and I use it both for guitar and bass. In fact I don't use anything else now at home and I'm playing the 'holy trinity' of LP, Strat and Tele. Connecting to a PC via USB means there are loads more parameters (compression, reverb and delay settings) you can adjust and send to the presets on the unit. It's great to be able to adjust the level of the guitar and aux input independently. The bass sound is remarkably good too and the effects apply equally as well to the bass sound. And, aesthetically it is very pleasing also it looks nice sitting on a shelf in my office! Highly recommended. steve
