I'm using the ECB81 strings on my ZON Sonus and the SX fretless jazz. I currently also have a set of these on my Squier Bronco, but have ordered a set of the short scale version (ECB81S) for it. I'm...
Thanks for the reply. Hmm, they aren't too expensive, maybe I'll pick one up and try 'cause they sure look sweet!
wow, I have those on my not fretless fender, those are so far the best strings...
Me, I'm a tinkerer, a hacker by trade. Whether it be cars, motorcycles, guitars, computers, or even my cell phone, I love to personalize. Although I could probably have gotten away with just changing...
I beg to differ. I'm the one who started this thread, and my fretless jazz clone SX bass is comfortably wearing a Quan Badass II nickel bridge. I had no problems with high action. I'm wondering if...
This little Epi is pretty close in dimensions to the '70s Epi that I have. It's one damn nice guit-fiddle!
So you don't go poking into the closet between now and XMAS, you could just have it sent to my house and I'll keep it under raps for you until Santa time!
Just kidding. Anyway, you may have to...
I've played both of the Vintage Modified Squier Jazz basses, and unfortunately, I was not highly impressed.
The fretless model did not either feel or sound as nice as my SX. It sure looked nice in...
Us Irish Catholics are actually *well* known for it! If it weren't for Irish Catholics, Guiness would probably have never been heard of outside the Emerald Isle.
:D :D :D
Hmm, sounds like a phone call would be in order...
I took a bunch of pictures of my bass collection the other day. I tried to add a couple to a post here, but they were too big. Anyway, I have uploaded them to the "Photos" section of the Yahoo Group,...
Wow M29, I just came across this post. Beautiful job on the cabinet. Same goes for the strat/'51 leaning against it. You have a combo to really be proud of. While reading through your posts, a couple...
Yep voodoo, right place, right time.
Damn Spud, now I'm gonna have to go out and by a Trombone to "one up" you!!!
:D :cool: :D
Sweet! And then there was Jose Feliciano...

The Epi is made by Gibson, so, 'nuff said. Like with Gibson, I've heard good Epi's and bad Epi's. The Agile seems nice, but there's nothing "different." I do like the double cut bod on the PRS. I'd...
WideAwake, I know what you're saying with the matte finish. My Schecter Stiletto Custom 4 has a matte finish, and it too is getting a shiny spot where my arm comes over the edge.
That's a sweet...
Yeah, I know what you're saying there. I just cannot personally justify it at present. I've got the Bronco bass to rework, and I just recently brought the ZON and Ibanez basses home, so I need to...
Nothin' to it! Keep comin' back. Do you have an HW1? I can't speak for the Strat, but the Jazz bass is quite an instrument for the bucks.
Hmm, WideAwake? That is exactly what Katastrophe originally stated, and you quote, if you will take a moment to reread his post. He states that the HW1 is "a relatively decent value for a 'Merican...
If you like his stuff with the Flecktones, try to check out his performance from Bass Day '98. During this performance/clinic, he explains how he started, at the age of two, being taught by his older...
Hmm, for me it would be either Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, or Stanley Clarke. Of the three, Stanley is by far, to me at least, the bass god, but I'm not sure of his teaching style. Marcus is also...
How about a compromise? How about one of THESE?
The BadAss II is marketed as a drop-in replacement, for a Fender bridge. I had to do a little work with the SX. Same goes for the pickguard swap, and the pickguard came from Rondo! Yes, the BadAss II...
Hey Voodoo, did you ever try these out with a bass, and if so, was it a pleasant experience?
