Late night bass musings. I have this - It is not shifting. I had a 6 string Overwater. It was a 36" scale and probably the nicest bass I have ever played. I have played a lot of basses. But 6 strings made my head hurt. Just not for me. Obviously there was more about the Overwater than the scale length. But I reckon it was a pretty significant part of the equation. I fancy shifting the bridge on this back as far as possible and refretting it for the given scale length. I am lying in bed at the moment so cannot go down and measure but I could easily hit 36" if not 36.5". Would refretting the fingerboard as it is but with new slots leave it unstable? I might just have a new board on it anyway but I am just musing about possibilities. Like all late mixes which do not sound as good in the morning, I will probably wake up tomorrow and wonder what I was thinking. But this is a bass forum and where else am I going to discuss it? I know moving the bridge will leave holes. I just don't care

I fancy it!

So I went to youtube and got sucked into Strymon Big Sky world. Ouch.

I have a Neunaber Slate v2 which means I can load all the Neunaber FX algorithms into it. I am messing with the reverb. I have it set to infinite, I can set up a sort of chord/cloud of notes with my DB using harmonics and then turn it off but the sound lasts and lasts because the tails carry on. This means I can play over it and still have that cloud in the background. I have NEVER messed with reverb before. Is this something which any old reverb pedal will do for me?

900w Power Amp in small box https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=bassics&em=1 No idea on specs, but lots of us have muttered about a small footprint power amp.

Still cool

Wait! Wait! You are Knobs?

Any comments about the slicer effect? I used to have a slicer but could not find a use for it live. However this unit is ticking a lot of boxes for me and a decent slicer effect would be the icing on the cake.

I just love the proportions of that last picture!

So, my machine heads have arrived from Kala in the US and I have now posted them and a set of Pahahoes down to Toby. He has reached here. Toby is ready to do the neck once the machine heads land because then he can get the headstock right. Exciting times indeed.

It is all good

Yeah pretty shocking on my shouting at you about detail when I cannot even spell my name properly

No mention of colour and/or matching headstock. Poor show.

Perhaps it would be a self inflicted way of forcing me to go down to 3 basses. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173101248323?ul_noapp=true

Felt is top stuff as well.

How much!? Of course I will play in your party.

I will be bringing a 5 string DB, Felix pre, an F Dedk pre and a Berg IP310 cab. Posibly a tiny DB uke depending on build schedule. I can bring an NS 5 EUB if anyone wants to try one. Will anyone there have a Berg B Amp? I would LOVE to try one.
