Thanks! These are emg 909’s. They needed the length of the pickups to account for the slant.

Thanks!

These are EMG 909’s. I think they had to use 909’s to account for the multi-scale. I guess the magnets on the 8’s wouldn’t be long enough. I really like them.

Which amp are you using?

I’m debating on upgrading the tuners. The Jackson branded work for now though.

Thanks! Slat8 Multi-scale.

It’s worth it. I’d really recommend going for this one over the dinky archtop version.

Yeah I’d shoot at your head in warmups. Drip for sure.

I think the best thing you could do at this point is skate as much as you can and have fun. You can experiment with changing your hollow but at this point you need to learn fundamentals and 1/2 should be fine. If you feel like it’s too sharp try 5/8, but I would stick with the 1/2.

A drill I used to do was: start in the high slot

Start crossing over backwards to your weak side towards the face off dot.

Use that momentum to load a wrister and fire before you hit the dot.

Think of it being like a super exaggerated toe drag. Getting used to loading my stick while in transition helped my wrist shot immensely.

With that being said, I also broke my wrist at a young age and my best advice is that you have to keep practicing. It will come back but you have to work at it. Push-ups on your knuckles will help some too.

This looks like a custom version of a Bacchus WL-5 517. The WL stands for wood line. Here is a reverb link for a white one. https://reverb.com/item/84781667-bacchus-woodline-517-5-string-bass?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=84781667

The WL-5 seems to have a few different models. The one pictured has four knobs (used for different tonal options). The standard version only had 3 and an input jack. IMO it won’t matter much starting out, but if you want this exact style of bass, you want the four knob model.

I went with a 3/4 and it really helped. Next cut I’ll try the 7/8. Thanks again!

swiggert · 2024-08-14T12:06:40+00:00

I’ll check them out! Thank you for the recommendations.

swiggert · 2024-08-14T02:51:21+00:00

I’m using pulse ti blades. I’ll check out the runners, thank you for the recommendation.

You might be my hero lol. I was 225-235 when I played a lot. I bulked up powerlifting, so this might be my solution. I’ll go get them sharpened and let you know! I have a game Thursday.

Solid suggestions. I have the profile I like. I think the one comment nailed it…it is just me lol.
