    NBD: Sire V2 P7 Fretless 5 String

    NBD: Sire V2 P7 Fretless 5 String Nabbed this earlier in March at the start of lockdown. I managed to get a second hand / B stock one for £350, so for a decent spec 5 string fretless, it's decent value for money. I used to own a 4 string defretted Warwick Corvette, but sold it as I...

    Question about ERGs and how they play with Bass.

    I am getting into the wonderful world of ERGs, cab sims, IRs, and drum software, and I am having a blast recording songs at home. I recently bought a 7 string and have it tuned to Drop G. I also have a 5 string bass that is tuned the same. Now that I've been bit by the bug, I am curious about...

    Any brands\particular models making 5-string budget basses with Ibanez-thin necks?

    So, I`m looking for a used 5-string bass under 400$ with thinnest possible neck for my tiny hands. Narrow string spacing would be also prefferable (if it`s possible in this price range) for I don`t do any slapping. I tried some ibanez SR series basses and the neck thickness is pretty much what...

    First NBD in almost 10 years and first 5 string ever (also need some info)

    So I've been out of the bass game for a while, but after over a year of being a full time bassist (and using my vocalist's affinity p/j) I decided to take the plunge and buy my first bass in almost 10 years. The guitarist in my band just bought a squier baritone jazzmaster (30" scale) tuned in...

    Tube watts vs. solid state watts, and help me redo my bass rig

    Alright, so now that I'm playing bass in a band full time I feel like it's time to seriously invest in some bass gear. Right now I'm playing a sqire affinity p/j through a Peavey mkIV into a 2x15 loaded with eminence betas. I'm happy with my cab, but I'd like to upgrade my head to something all...

    Thoughts on Brice Defiant 53437

    If anyone owns this bass and has any comments about its quality, I'd like to know. Thinking about investing into my first bass. I would get it alongside an 8 string, tuned to E0 standard (EADGC) or to A standard (ADGCF). I still have to figure out which tuning I'd like. Thankfully, the long...

    Greetings from NY

    How's it going? My name is Matt and I have been playing bass for about 6 years now and taught myself how to play. I started off on a normal beginner 4 string, I think the brand was silvertone, and instantly fell in love. Soon I craved more and eventually got a Squire 5 string Jazz bass along...

    Have a 5 string bass and play a 7 string in Drop A. How should I tune the bass?

    I'm borrowing my friends 5 string and I am playing in Drop A on a seven string guitar. What should I tune the 5 string to? Drop A as well? Also would I have to change string gauges? Sorry if this is a stupid question. I just want to learn.

    I have an older ibanez soundgear 5 string that i bought for recording, and my only method as of now is to run it direct into my scarlette 2i2. I have it set to intrument recording on the interface itself but i literally have to keep the gain at zero. And it STILL clips on the 5th string. Even...

    New Ibanez SR300B-WK Vs. B-stock Squier Jazz Bass '77?

    Hey :) Wondering if anyone's tried one of these new SR300s which came out this year, looks the same as a standard SR300 but with mahogany body and much nicer finish. I tried an SR600 out in a local shop and loved it but it's out of my budget, so am hoping the SR300B-WK could be a good...

    NBD - Pearloid porn inside

    Well, I've finally got one. After pining for the best part of a decade I've finally got my hands on a Music Man Stingray 5. It dates to around 1998-99 and has a piezo bridge which blends in to give a really nice warm characteristic. In addition it also has a birdseye maple neck and black...
