  1. My main instrument of choice, my beloved, just 28.6" scale length, Ibanez GSRM20 neck + GSRM20B body Mikro Bass, that I named "Dud Bottomfeeder", fitted with an EMG Geezer Butler P pickup, and tuned in A# standard, tenor bass, tuning :
  2. And with a wider neck and fewer frets than a real short scale bass. And in most cases bigger body too. So won't really feel like a real short scale bass would. This!
  3. Finish on neck and headstock would no doubt add to the price as well.
  4. And basses are just wood and metal.
  5. Too Late: Frozen - Type O Negative
  6. Well, you might find it easier to hum an interesting bassline, then copy that on bass, than coming up with it on the bass directly. In any case I think starting to think more melodically, and coherently as one single song, rather than individual blocks of chords stacked together, would be the key here.
  7. Couldn't you just use the other end of the cable, so that the stiff plastic bit points the opposite way, not covering the other midi port?
  8. I looked for them too without luck. But my best guess is that they are working on a new version 2 with a pickup switch or a blend, instead of the P and J pickup both always full on, with no options for switching or blending, like this first version worked. I do however really love how that new shorty P Bass looks, and I actually also think the stock pickup sounds awesome. So will for certain soon get one of those.
  9. "Earfquake" by Tyler the Creator from his album "Igor" :
  10. Snappy would be around 1KHz, and bite would be around 3KHz.
  11. Also guitars and basses are not a great investment, fa safer and much more profitably investments to be made.
  12. Not it hasn't! In fact quite the opposite. Talking real value.
  13. If you really put your will behind it I believe you can do it!
  14. Can't imagine them sounding good near and above 12th fret on a short scale bass, unless you love a dead thud.
  15. Same, to be honest.
  16. Then that strap probably isn't for you. It's fairly grippy. Most people are interested in the exact opposite, to battle neck dive issues.
  17. I use this: Harley Benton Wide Leather Padded Strap BK Material: Suede With 6 mm memory-foam velvet padding across the strap's entire length Width: 85 mm Length adjustable from 105 to 150 cm https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_wide_leather_padded_strap_bk.htm
  18. No, actually quite reasonably priced: https://newtonestrings.com/shop/custom-string-configurator/
  19. https://newtonestrings.com/ : https://newtonestrings.com/shop/axion-custom-works-fender-vi-set/ Or https://newtonestrings.com/shop/custom-string-configurator/
  20. I might be far from the optimal solution from a strictly aesthetical point of view, but if possible it would certainly fix it from a functional/practical point of view: Wouldn't it be possible to remove the current bridge and install an entirely different more regular one, or even mono rail bridge piece, and that way fix the problem?
  21. Do these have a modern flatter, something like 12", fretboard radius as well?
  22. PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen) - PIKOTARO
  23. Criminally underrated band and album! Their "Forever Changes" album from 1967, which these 3 songs are from, is no less than an absolute masterpiece, fully up there with some of the most iconic albums from that era.
