Whether you take the J pill or the P pill, you cannot escape the Patrix. MM pills are also available, either chocolate or peanut.

Just mod one yourself. This guy originally fitted a Serek B90 in the mid position, but then moved that back towards the bridge and fitted a Guild BS1 BiSonic type (he has also refinished this bass now).

Pulling up a chair and getting comfy so as to follow the progress of this. The very best of luck to you @carlsim. 🤞 -
Very much looking forward to the reveal.

I put mine through a Sadowsky preamp pedal (2 band) and that neodymium pickup is very nice indeed. However, you know what you like and, fortunately, both are probably able to be retrofitted to a ‘Ray SS. You know you want to

The Short Scale Bass Appreciation Society!
ezbass replied to Baloney Balderdash's topic in Bass Guitars
I used that stringing method with my first set of Cobalts, but haven’t bothered since. I can’t say I have noticed any difference when in use, just less of a faff to fit. -

Ah! I saw the end of the word medium, but didn’t clock the word gauge and assumed they were medium scale. Off on my high horse a bit prematurely there; apologies. 🤦🏻 -

I reckon they put short scale strings in a medium scale packet. I’d send them back or at least com0lain to the retailer and D’Addario. -

Arco Precision, what would Leo have made of that?

There you go. You already sing a couple of songs that others continue to allow you to; can’t be all that bad. Providing a song is in the baritone range and needs a voice akin to Byrne/Bowie/Ferry/Sylvian, etc, I’ll give it a go. Playing and singing at the same time needs lots of homework for me; singing and playing China Girl took me ages to get ‘right’*. *passable.

Fat Man in the Bathtub - Little Feat (sorry no pun, but c’mon, it’s Little Feat).

Singing well is hard and a proper talent (although it can be learnt if you can hold a tune) and I’ve had the privilege to work with some really top notch vocalists, one of whom will have graced your TV screens at various big events. Average singers are ten a penny, however, whilst bad singers are even more prevalent. I’ve observed that their talent is normally in inverse proportion to how good they think they are.

Copper taped my JMJ, worked a treat, just make sure that some tape makes contact with the control plate (I didn’t first time 🤦🏻). -
For me: 1972 You are not worthy. 2022 No, still not worthy.

Smashing! Short scales do seem to be very authoritative in a mix (more fundamental, less harmonics) and they take pitch based FX brilliantly.

The Dregs! What a guitar player Steve Morse is. So sad that he’s had to call it a day.
