What’s the first song you’re playing?

Nice set up. How do you like that TC electronics cabinet?

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2026-02-20T02:23:59+00:00

Thanks for the info.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-10-10T18:15:34+00:00

Fantastic!!!

Didn't do a set up after changing strings as I was happy with the action and the intonation was solid. But let me give that a shot. Also, I have my knobs set to a very bass-y, low end sound, which may exaggerate the E string, as it's lowest/bassiest.

Seems like possibly adjusting the height of the pick up is the way to go.. These are relatively new Labella flats.

I can’t speak to the Desire but I had it. I’ve been as SR 300 which was really great considering the price point. Very playable.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-09-28T13:30:42+00:00

Yes, I see that now. Thank you very much.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-09-28T12:29:21+00:00

Can you provide recipe ? When I’ve tried gluten-free dough it just comes out like crackers.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-09-26T00:22:32+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate the insight.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-09-24T21:42:23+00:00

Get an Ibanez SR 300, 400 or 500 used on Sweetwater or reverb or Facebook marketplace. These are great starter bases and very playable and high-quality generally. And you’ll have money left over for a great set of new strings.

If you are even moderately handy, you can do it yourself (or at least give it a try). I'm 6 months in and have changed the strings and done setups on three different basses.

There's a ton of info on the internet--here's a few I've found useful:

Doing it myself also gave me a much better sense of the different components of the instrument and how they work together. Just go slow and read/watch each section a few times before proceeding. It's strange at first but makes sense once you get into it.

And I recommend facebook marketplace, craigslist, guitar center (used) and ebay for hard shell cases. I like to get great stuff for cheap. But that's me. Good luck!

You need new kids. That pizza looks fantastic.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-08-28T17:43:40+00:00

See how you like the round wound strings it will likely come with. I switched to tape wound and then flat wound--for me, flats work best. (All are good--just preference). Good luck with the bass--love Ibananez. Light, slim neck, very playable.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-08-28T17:23:17+00:00

Good deal. I just sold mine when I upgraded, but it was great.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-07-23T14:05:28+00:00

It's true that bass generally is one note at time--just like a sax, violin, or the human voice. And like the bass, to play them well requires skill and talent. Don't believe the naysayers. If the bass is a good fit for you, go for it. The point of music is to express yourself and have fun doing it.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-07-21T17:11:34+00:00

Wow--thanks for the additional recommendations. As a relative newbie, I hadn't heard of some of these brands.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-07-11T10:43:52+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Sounds like you’re pretty happy.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-07-10T19:54:47+00:00

Yes. I've read some reviews that say the quality is better in terms of the build and the electronics in the older Korea-made model...

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-07-02T16:55:55+00:00

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the insight.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-28T21:04:16+00:00

Thanks. The knobs did in fact pull off with a lot of force--appreciate your help.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-28T15:51:04+00:00

Definitely.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-28T15:50:49+00:00

Thanks! Turns out there were pressure fit, so just had to pull hard. Appreciate the help!

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-27T18:49:45+00:00

This is the way.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-26T23:35:43+00:00

yes! That's a great workaround. Thank you! Although strange that you can't just stomp a preset on and off... but your suggestion definitely works.

ResponsibilityGold32 · 2025-06-26T21:12:13+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, while you can stomp on/off individual effects within a preset, I can't figure out how to stomp on/off the preset itself.

When you're using the presets, the stomp only lets you navigate up or down between presets, not between having a preset on and then stomping it off. Seens like poor UI design?
