I have a passive bass, one single coil pickup, volume and tone. It has the single coil hum, certainly, but an annoying buzz as well. Thinking it's an earthing problem, I've checked the groundings, but here's the rub - between 8 and 10 (max) it's as quiet as I can get it; turn it below 8, and the buzz increases very noticeably. Could it be a dodgy volume pot? Any input gratefully received, as always... -
Adjusted ad: I've put the original neck back on. Here's how it looks now... -

I've just ordered a set of Newtone shorties- what's the tension like? I had TI rounds ready for my new to me Epiphone Newport, but they really didn't suit, tension was actually TOO low... -
Recommend me some modern (or not) music with upright bass

Anybody heard of these basses, or had any experience of them? http://www.guttlin.be/basmodels.htm I love the look and sound of them... Pricing seems good too... ......tempted......

Yup

And another ringing endorsement... https://youtu.be/IbgGZUsPJYk?si=nHaqSuADjaxq3EH-

I'll take these, pretty please... -
Apologies if this is well trodden ground - I am new enough to double bass to think like the title of this topic. The price range of bows is astonishing, so what are the things that make a 'good' bow? ...I await your instruction...

These have come off my BSX eub. I don't know the age or the gauge, but they have plenty of life. Selling because I want the lowest tension I can find. E 126.5cm from the far end of the ball to the start of the silk. 15cm of silk A 126cm. 26cm of silk D 126.5cm. 27cm of silk G 127cm. 20cm of silk. -
Thanks John, nice to have more info. You did a tremendous job with the Tru-oil, it really does glow...

Bought this fairly recently on here, but a B6 appeared for sale not long after, coinciding with some spare cash... you can guess the rest. Excellent condition, no marks that I can see. Velcro on the bottom. I really like Zoom products, and this is really good. The direction arrow buttons work very well with the foot (I was skeptical beforehand), tuner is good, and the patches are excellent. The 1073 preamp and the 1176 Limiter are fantastic.-

A beast of a bass! Bought this from Grezza, a member on here, it's been through a couple of owners on Basschat, I think. Guitar Build 2 piece mahogany body finished in Tru-oil (it just glows) Lindy Fralin 51'P split 5% overwound pickup Fender USA grooved bridge Ki0gon loom with Switchcraft jack socket String through option The neck is a Harley Benton PB50 that I've worked on extensively, and am quite proud of. I reshaped the headstock, and profiled the neck from 42mm down to 40mm, with a U profile (with defined 'shoulders'). Also reshaped the heel to fit very snugly. Rolled the fingerboard edges, and shaped the frets. The result is an extremely comfortable playing experience, though I do say so myself... I do have the J profile neck the bass came with, and could sell the bass with that neck attached if preferred (pics to follow) It's a hefty beast (maybe 10lbs, but will confirm); balances very well, and is not a problem with a decent wide strap. Weight now confirmed at 11lb 4oz. I'm stronger than I thought! And it plays like a monster! Very happy to fill any gaps I've missed - just ask, and thanks for reading.
