My end pin has loosened over time. There is no rattling, but every once in a while if I don't tighten the screw on the center of the notch the pin will shift down while playing. I used to fit really...

My budget right now is in the $5,000 area, it could go a bit higher if the right bass comes along. As for a trade I was hoping to keep my old bass as a back-up to whatever new bass I purchased. I see...

I was asking if an Upton bass would be a reasonable upgrade for someone with a factory bass that has all the perks of an Upton (new fingerboard, bridge, end pin)? Or should I set my sites on...

I don't wanna come off the wrong way, but I need to ask this question for my own satisfaction. If Upton has these basses built in a factory in Romania and all they do is varnish, add fingerboard,...

It never stops does it? The search for the perfect string, it was easier on BG because strings cost $40.00 at most for a set. My girlfriend is gonna toss me out on my a$$ if I come home with more new...

I guess it could be done. I've never had a steel string sound like gut, but I'm lucky I can even hold a bass.

I guess I should update my string set-up. I had a brief disillusionment with the Oliv strings after my G started to unwind. I went back to my old set-up of Spiro Weichs on the bottom and Dominants up...

Right now I'm using Oliv G&D with Obligato A&E. Before that I used a Spiro/Dominant combo that I liked very much. I have also used Full Spiro mitel and weich sets as well as Velvet Animas. Through...

I would assume if you're looking for info on a good string for arco you'd go to the arco string section. The same with pizz, regardless of what the string is marketed as. For instance I use an...
