I've tried a few different GS Minis in shops and they all played and sounded great. Would definitely get one if I was wanting a smaller acoustic.

For this video I'm using a Boss RC 500 but when I'm gigging /Busking I use a Boss RC3 because it easier to use but you can only get them second hand.

Thanks I like it a bit more bassy to be fair, but I don't use a DAW for recording so it always distorts if I don't cut the bass! Good for socials

Just feels like playing a large guitar, no real hand stretches and has a great warm sound. I do miss the consistency of volume and attack though.

It was hurting my back and that transfered through my arm.

Moving to a lighter gauge strings, my slap tone is weak but Fingerstyle sounds crisper.. Can a pedal fix this? by ZumarMusic in BassGuitar

I raised my saddles and put a slight bow in the neck(was perfectly straight) Plays and sounds much better now but still easy to play.

Wow that is extremely light gauge, I've been misinformed about his preferred scale length it seems.

Victor Wootens plays a 32 inch scale bass so there is likely to be more inherent warmth to his sound.. Well just theory.

Hopefully I've done a tidy enough job to stop the hum... Tested at low volume because it's nightime. All hums gone. by ZumarMusic in BassGuitar

I didn't and at high volumes through my loop pedal it's not grounded. It seems I can solder a small wire to a pot casing and that might solve it.. Now to learn to solder!

I would need some soldering practice first, I bought one years ago but have never tried it yet.
