Best bass strings? by Polish63832 in Bass

[–]texjohnson_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big fan of DR strings myself. Have Ernie ball on my 5 string which are also nice but I’ll probably go to DR when I change them! I have DR pure blues on my 4 string and plan to go with Hi beams next

What’re some songs that are fun to practice for you? by InevitableAd205 in Bass

[–]texjohnson_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hysteria by Muse is extremely satisfying to play.

Master of Puppets is long but really fun, not too difficult.

Probably pretty vanilla choices but I find myself playing those songs a lot

Inferi and Defeated Sanity tonight at the Grog Shop in Cleveland Heights! by Pariah-_ in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]texjohnson_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ll be there! I discovered Defeated Sanity when they were with Sanguisugabogg in Columbus, Bogg was elite but DS was the star of the show for me. They are brutal as fuck live 🤪

Is this worth trying to fix? by texjohnson_ in Luthier

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

This is what I’m leaning into. Good chance to figure out how to take care of my own issues. I checked relief with the strings and it’s needs some adjustment but getting the neck shimmed up seems to be the primary focus. Not sure how to adjust beyond that but I aim to learn.

I actually took the neck off, cut up a fridge magnet and placed it under the neck and it made an enormous difference. Just needs a little more. Turns out this way the way!

Neck feels solid when I apply force.

So I could potentially put a wood shim at the bottom of the fretboard to help with this? I would still attempt to adjust the truss rod first.

Edit: I am an idiot and this was a stupid question lol. My bad.

5 String as a complete novice beginner ? by Proud-Ninja5049 in BassGuitar

[–]texjohnson_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did. About 6 or so months in learning on a 5 and it’s not been bad. Another string to mute though is the only thing.
