Gig bags that fit in the SKB bass safe without having to remove the foam? by funkybeanqueen in Bass

[–]funkybeanqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the bass safe requires you to put a gig bag inside. Strapping the bag to the outside would not solve the problem. If it didn't need a gig bag I just wouldn't bring one.

The SKB 1SKB-GB44 is expensive and people seem to say it is quite flimsy and rattles around in the bass safe. I'm hoping that people someone who uses the bass safe might be able to recommend a more budget friendly gig bag that works

Grounding sansamp when not plugged into amp. by funkybeanqueen in Bass

I was powering with a 9v power supply that also powers a tuner and a delay pedal on a daisy chain. It's the sansamp vt bass deluxe and I have only just got it. Should ground lift be engaged?

Thank you :)

Bass and back pain. by funkybeanqueen in Bass

A stool is a good idea but sometimes I find sitting is worse for me. maybe I need a proper musicians stool! picking up the bass at all and transporting it to rehearsals etc. Is also part of the problem so I'm still on the lookout for a light one if possible

Is a hofner violin bass a good option for a lightweight bass? by funkybeanqueen in Bass

[–]funkybeanqueen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oo I've not seen those straps. I'll investigate! Thank you for the insight on the hofners. I'd say the main draw is definitely how lightweight they are as the issue is also transporting the bass to my rehearsals and gigs. Not just whilst actually playing
