So what do you do with your bass with your baritones? In unison or and Octave lower. Thought I'd do a little comparison in a new video. So here I have my baritone in Drop F, and then test out the bass in Unison and an Octave lower.

DESCRIPTION: Traben’s signature model bass for Greg Weeks of technical deathcore legends The Red Chord. This is an immense powerhouse of a bass for those on a budget that is tighter than their low end. There is a very present, punchy bump in the lows for those handling the deeper frequencies in...

DESCRIPTION: B.C. Rich’s signature model bass for Greg Weeks of technical deathcore legends The Red Chord. This incredibly short-lived model was never truly given a full launch by B.C. Rich due to the restructuring under Hanser Holdings at the time right before the brand tanked; and thus, very...

Came across this used bass at my local music store and the price was too good to pass up. The bass sounds and plays ridiculously well. Ibanez SR1200 Premium Bass - Vintage Natural [from 2012]:

Story: Bought a new Ibanez SR605e and it was a lemon with tons of QC issues, which is surprising because all the 500 and 600 series SR's are usually fantastic in my experience. I found out that pretty much every music store in Canada is sold out of these and we wouldn't be seeing any until...

Heres some more of my weird sh*t! Lol. The HALO FUZZ by ground king fx. Full transparency, yes i was given this pedal to do a demo but i swear this thing really is fantastic! Build quality is up there with the best, and it pumps out some incredible thick n brutal fuzz tones! Its based on...

Had an old Ibanez SR405 from 2002 that I bought used. It was in pretty good shape and played really well with good build quality but the pickups were very bland (stock Ibanez DX pickups). I recently played some new 2020 SR505's and was extremely impressed by them. I saw Ibanez recently released...

Hi everyone, my name is Marc, and this is my first post. Just like many of us during the past few years, I've had a lot of free time on my hands, and I wanted to find new ways to innovate to keep the boredom from driving me crazy. I'm a pro songwriter and touring musician, I've fronted several...

Here is a video on the Extended Scale Bass conversion neck I had custom made for my Ibanez BTB200. I wanted to stay at 4 strings, but see how could get down to 37-inches tuned to F0 and this was the outcome. I used a luthier near me, Dogiel Guitar. And he built me the awesome neck conversion for...

Hey Folks, I'm in the states and I have my eye on this guy: https://reverb.com/item/41097508-dingwall-combustion-5-ng3-ferrari-green-2021-limited-edition But I dont know whats involved in importing something like this? Could someone school me on what that entails? costs? things to look out...

I'm looking to pick up a bass and wondering how best to write with an 8 string? Would you recommend getting a 6 string and having two lower strings to accommodate the lower registers? I was thinking 5 string basses became more popular with 7 strings so it would be natural to go with a 6 string...

So I'm deciding on doing a custom 35-37-inch multi scale 5 strings bass with a luthier. I'm looking for some pickup and preamp recommendations for the bass. It's mainly going to be used for low tunings with metal riffs. I want to tune it down to F0. For pickups was looking at the Nordstrand...

I've posted about this in some other threads, but those threads mostly died, and this is kind of a separate topic, sooooo..... (If I'm wrong, feel free to merge with the other thread I guess?) Talk me into, or out of, getting an Axe Fx II to use as a bass preamp. There's one for sale locally...

I'm prepared to start writing for a little mini project after recording a short proof-of-concept EP. That process made me realize how much I hate programming bass and how essential that extra spice of a good bassline is for this type of music. Think a blend of hardcore/beatdown/grindcore with...

A bunch of you have probably seen me post a whole bunch about bass stuff recently, including the Mesa 4x10 I picked up. The tl;dr version is that one of the speakers (top left) is making a kind of papery/crunchy sound (it sounds more like electrical noise than distortion to me), but only when...

I dunno if this is really a question so much as a train of thought, but I feel like I'm pretty regularly coming back to my bass tone and looking for some kind of missing "mojo". I found what I really like from my guitar stuff, but bass has remained elusive. And my theory right now is that my...

While poking around some used ads, I came across a Mesa Powerhouse 4x10 for 500 Canadian loonies, and I'm considering going to grab it. I thiiiiiiink it's the more recent "modern" version (I keep reading about there being three different versions of these). From what I can find from googling...

Hello, Im a guitar player but I've been wanting a bass for recording and learning it in general. Im a lefty so the options are kinda limited but its not too bad imho. The basses that have caught my eyes are the ibanez SR305, marcus miller M2 5, sterling stingray 5 or the LTD B205SM. I mostly...
