Looks like you don't know either.

Hello everyone. Some of you might remember that I was thinking of getting a bass a few months ago. I posted some questions about it here: https://sevenstring.org/threads/need-help-finding-a-bass.362215/ As i mentioned in the end of that thread, I might be getting a custom made bass. That's...

Amazing amps, I used to have the 100 watt version. These do everything from biting crunch to extreme metal to super smooth leads. I really regret selling mine. It's a shame these are not in production anymore.

The more I play guitar the more I'm starting to realize I prefer a completely flat fingerboard. Just like a classical guitar.

There's very few manufactures of strings. There's a lot of brands but most strings comes from the same places. Also, just because you do something doesn't mean that everyone else will do the same. If people believe strings only last for a certain amount of time they will buy into that.

If you wash your hands before you play you don't need to do anything with them. Of course companies who sell garbage like that is benefitting from broken strings, especially if they also sell strings like GHS does. It only makes sense that these products are harmful for the strings. Don't be...

When I was in the store trying basses i also played some standard 25.5" scale length guitars. Which I have played for like 20 years. Except for the last two years when I have only played my warmoth 7-string with 28.625" scale. I realized that I will never go back to standard scale again. They...

Not sure I understand what you mean, how would it play differently if the tension in A-standard is the same as the tension in B-standard is with a shorter scale? Having a 35" scale length will result in very loose strings and very thick strings, actually very loose even with cables as strings...

My cousin is a luthier and he has built me one guitar. The more I think of it, I might just let him build me a bass as well. Depends if he wants to do it or not though. Last time I donated all my luthier tools to him for building me the guitar. So it wasn't totally for free. I've come to the...

Yes sadly in later years all his demos sounds the same (like shit). His channel was so much better before.

I actually think I might prefer active pickups for bass. I hate EMG's and all other actives for guitars. But when I put together my Warmoth, which is now my only guitar I actually installed the EMG AB, just for fun. I don't have much use for it when playing guitar lines, just sometimes if I want...

That's true, been thinking about that many times with guitars. Is the Yamaha basses in the 4-600 range any good? They look nice at least. I think I could be happy with a cheaper bass permanently actually. Not super cheap but I could probably find one for under 1000 that is good enough for me...

Wtf is that price LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣

Yes you're 100% right about that, I definitely need to try everything myself. Interesting that you mention this about the fingerstyle as well. I never knew that becasue I have never tried thicker strings than standard. Sad thing I didn't like the setup on the Ibanez I tried, I know it was set...

Is there a big difference in feel between 130 and let's say 145? Was disappointed to find out now that one of the guitars I tried had 35" scale. It was a black headless ibanez multi-scale with roasted neck. Did not like that one at all. Nice instrument otherwise. I found another Ibanez in a...

Cool, never seen that brand before. 900€ for a bass with EMG pickup and even with a hardcase. That's pretty sweet these days.

As I said I tried several basses the other day with .130 in B and they sounded like shit with my playing style. I play with my fingers, I rarely play super fast tremolo picking and if I would do that, then, and only then I would use a pick. I'm not Paco De Lucia 🤣 It should be clarified also...

Looking to buy my first bass and I'm kinda lost to be honest. I never owned a bass of my own. I don't have much knowledge at all when it comes to bass guitars. I play my 7-string guitar in A-standard. Initially I tought, just buy a bass and play it one octave lower but quickly found out that...

Have you tried a baritone before? Just go to a musicstore and see if they have any that you can try. You might be like most people (having trouble playing them) or you can be like me who prefers a longer scale and actually think they are more comfortable than standard scale guitars. 25.5 inch...
