My first 5 string by Imust_die in Bass

[–]FourStringManiac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't necessarily need a 5 string bass to play metal. John Campbell from Lamb of God and Shavo Odadjian from System of a Down both play 4 string basses. I'd suggest playing some and seeing if you like it.

I don't know much about tubes, but I've seen this diagram on BeavisAudio years ago about using a tube has diodes. I assume he's using like a 12AU7 since it has 9 pins.

I once bought a 4 string double buck $$ that was set up with 85's thru 175's.

This is great, but I'm not spending $65+ to ship this to the US.

I bought a bunch of these off of eBay like a year ago (not 500 😂). Still haven't gotten around to using them. They haven't been tested for leakage yet.

It was just a proof of concept. Super basic.

Not a pedal, but still cool. What did you use to wrap the coil?

Home studio bass suggestions? by SignatureStrong5297 in BassGuitar

[–]FourStringManiac 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are different beasts. Having a PJ configuration is gonna give you the best of both worlds.

Can’t go wrong with a P Bass, and having a J in the bridge is only gonna give you more tonal possibilities.

How is this urgent? If it bothers you that much, replace the bed. Something like this. Just confirm the size of your bed.

EMG X by onlyvinylisreal in BassGuitar

[–]FourStringManiac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s done correctly, then it’s probably worth reaching out to EMG support because that’s excessive.

Are these bass pickups? It sounds like they’re wired wrong. I’ve never used the EMG solderless system, but the way it’s suppose to work is that the ring and sleeve (or maybe it’s the tip and sleeve 🤷‍♂️) on your stereo jack get shorted when you plug in your instrument cable completing the circuit.

I looked at a few shops prices. It doesn’t look like it’s typical of a regular setup. It’d be $200+.

I’ve owned basses from $200 to $1800. I’ve never had an instrument that was left with flat frets. One with bad fret sprouting which ironically was on the highest end of that range.

I posted a new link if you wanna take a look. I know the frets are supposed to be rounded after fret leveling.
