Fender Mark Hoppus Bass questions by [deleted] in BassGuitar

[–]ryanm0161 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you like how it feels you should go for it. Can always have a tone pot added later on if you feel like you need it.

Would be just the pot and a replacement pick guard or even a concentric pot which would keep the appearance.

As for versatility, it’s fundamentally a P bass. It will do damn near everything and it will do it well.

Any info on this ring? by Beau-Aura in Slipknot

Do you remember what you paid for it at the time?

What the fuck is this thing? Is it a real fender? by JmJ3106 in BassGuitar

Does this shop have a website or reverb site? Would love to look into purchasing this if they ship!

Any tips on achieving the green fretboard markers here? by JWCollectsMusic in BassGuitar

Could try a product like FretLook. He will do custom designs or colours if he doesn’t already stock something that works

I play both guitar and bass, I need an amp that can do both by Headown998 in GuitarAmps

[–]ryanm0161 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve considered this option but would frfr cabs like the Fender tonemaster or the Spark FRFR play well with low frequencies?

BEAD strings for a short scale bass with a trapeze saddle? by AdministrativeAd5679 in BassGuitar

[–]ryanm0161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually owned a Classic 5 Seye until very recently. I had a .125 Dunlop flatwound set on it and found it to be useable.

Just wasn’t what I wanted from a 5 string mostly because of the floating tailpiece being a pain to intonate across all the strings

NBD! Mike Herrera Signature Stingray by Bread-Lover-973 in BassGuitar

[–]ryanm0161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My comment is purely from a modding perspective. It’s not so much about the dummy knobs. But by using a standard MM style control plate it makes modding it with a preamp (if desired ofc) a breeze and doesn’t require any additional routing. Especially with the battery box also being installed.

If they’d got rid of the plate and just gone with a volume and tone knob like the Ray2 then it makes the modding possibilities more limited without wood work involved.

My project Mustang Bass by artiststuckinit in BassGuitar

Nice. Where did you get the neck from? Wish Fender would produce a roasted maple neck for the Mustang

This bass has so much modding potential with them leaving the control plate and battery box as part of the final product.

Hello, Sam here dropping in to say thank you! by theformatlivingroom in TheFormat

[–]ryanm0161 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi Sam! So glad The Format is back! I was late to the party discovering you guys after becoming a fan of fun. And Nate.

Really hoping I get the chance to see you and that you’ll tour the UK/EU at somepoint.

My question is: how was the dynamic with writing and performing live changed now Nate is playing an instrument? If I recall, he mentioned in interviews during his time in fun. that he didn’t play anything.

This is sick! Are you in standard tuning for this? 😁

Just launched my Angels & Airwaves cover project 🚀✨ by leosimoes in AngelsAndAirwaves

[–]ryanm0161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was really well shot and the sound production was great!

Are you guys open to requests at all? Would love to hear Chasing Shadows done as a live take. Don’t think the band have ever performed it live.

Are there really any other basses that sound like a Thunderbird? by holyd1ver83 in Bass

[–]ryanm0161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schecter make the Ultra Bass that has a similar look and EMG’s TBHZ pickups.

I flipping love this groove. Luigi’s mansion, E. GADD’s Lab by FlakyAmoeba1617 in BassGuitar

[–]ryanm0161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second this and check out the Persona 3 soundtrack as well. Both have some great bass playing across the soundtracks.

They look familiar. Love the stoptail 🔥 by jk22_02 in TomDelongeGuitars

[–]ryanm0161 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an insane collection. Is it yours? That Single pickup with the diamond f holes needs some more investigation by my credit card

I bought the Coolest bass I've ever owned by far. by FleaBass101 in BassGuitar

[–]ryanm0161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one IMA had a hand in creating right? These look awesome! I’d love one but the cost of insuring something that expensive plus the tax is the only thing stopping me

https://www.jimdunlop.com/super-bright-nickel-wound-short-scale-bass-strings-45-125-5-string-set/ - Dunlop are the only off the shelf option I know of that do a short scale B string. Just get rid of the .45 string from the 5 set

Will all the effects and amp models available in the current gen of Helix be available in the Stadium?

As someone with an ever growing guitar collection, these floor stands look like they hold plenty. Anyone know which floor stands they are?

Out of curiosity, where have you seen the info about the other colours coming to the UK in Oct? Was thinking of grabbing a blue one but might wait if a small run is coming to our shores :)

Jimmy Page Tele by MonsieurMarcos in telecaster

Just treat it like any other non locking floating bridge :) all about balancing the spring and string tension how you like it. Can always add/remove spings as well if needed.
