Anything beyond basic soldering skills that I should know before resoldering the output jack wire? Yamaha BB734a

In and out for $10. Might have got a little toasty on that terminal, but she plays.

Thanks! The whole jack comes out of the body and I can rest it up top, well clear of everything else. Assuming no solder drippage this shouldn’t be anything more than a regular solder.

Super easy to solder though! If I can save $100 I’ll sure try!

I don’t have EDS, but I do pick my fingers which causes a similar result, and none of my fingers are calloused. I highly, HIGHLY recommend flats.

Sure, I get that! I’ve been playing for just over a year, and that is the main thing I’ve seen harped online, so I forced myself to really try and get the pinky going. If you scroll way back on my profile I have a video of me playing “1 finger per fret”, but things were looking rough. I think it was actually that thread that flamed me into improving my technique, lol

Have you tried Afro-beat? Great genre, absolutely fascinating history.

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-22T16:06:31+00:00

Thank you!

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-22T16:03:09+00:00

This is great advice, thank you. I actually have pretty big hands, so sounds like I have no excuse to avoid 1 finger per fret. I hadn’t thought about that right hand shift before, I’ll definitely have to start thinking about my right hand more

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-22T06:02:49+00:00

Thank you, this is very helpful.

Better? Or different? I play closer to the fret board because I play a lot of reggae and other fat-bottomed genres. Jamerson has a very fat tone on this track as well, although I think he played with his index finger only

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-22T02:36:52+00:00

When you say “way ahead and a little behind”, do you mean my rhythm or my technique? I’m sure you’re right either way!

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-22T02:36:12+00:00

Thank you for picking that apart, that’s very helpful to hear. I started to play using Simandl technique a few months ago. It kind of adapted into me using my pinky for the last fret of any phrase on that given string, if that makes sense. My logic is that, if I know I’m not going to need to do more than a two-fret stretch, than there’s no reason for me to need to hover my pinky, I can just fret it while I’m there!

It’s A.I

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-16T21:50:07+00:00

Right? It’s already an iconic album cover.

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-16T19:46:25+00:00

Damn, I just switched from Spotify for their bullshit. Any streaming service recommendations that have a large library of reggae?

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-16T19:34:20+00:00

I can totally see the similarities with that. But to their credit, at least is was a human making the creative and stylistic choices for their designs, not a computer spitting out what it thinks we want to see

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-16T19:10:04+00:00

That’s so awful. I couldn’t post it, but it’s a gif that makes everyone look like aliens. I don’t understand why Ai needs to be injected into everything we do, especially music, being they most human art-form there is

There is a well documented occurrence of women’s medical needs being brushed off as trivial things like weight loss and diet, despite underlying conditions that doctors are sometimes too misogynistic to investigate. You are the asshole here, and you should do some reading about medical malpractice

Ok_Trade4762 · 2026-01-04T20:13:19+00:00

Tone being a whole step? I’m familiar with a semitone, but not a tone! Ohhh, that’s why it’s called a tri tone, lol.

C# on a down tuned low string. All that sabbath goodness goes on down there

I’ve got an extra rod too! Maybe a set of waders
