Hello everyone, I'm new here. I quit playing over 20 years ago because trying to squeeze the Bach Cello Suites on my Daion 4 string was too frustrating. Now,...

HA man, we are two peas in a pod! I always go passive and have no knobs or switches on my instruments. and wide spacing is a blessing. I've forgotten the...
Actually they both have 16.5mm spacing if memory serves correctly. The spacing at the Bridge is the same but the nut is tighter on the GTBD-7. It's been awhile...

Hi guys, any knowledge on the back of neck finish? Someone wrote the GTBD7 was overall polyurethane which would imply the GT7 is... not? Also: I see four...
oil finish, I believe, on the GT-7 neck. both basses are full active, but I think the GT would sound great as a passive instrument. $850 sounds like a really...
The pickups in the GT-7 are actually active bartolini pickups. It also has the Bass and Treble controls. Yes, it is active all the time. ... From:...

So let me get this right; it's active all the time and the pickups are active. So if I drop- kicked the battery I wouldn't hear anything? Is that right?...
That is correct. The pickups have tiny preamps built inside them and the require a battery to work. There is no active passive situation with the GT-7. You can...

I just ordered a BDGT-7 from beatstreetmusic.com. THey say it doesn't have a manual. Does anybody have info on the preamp, and care of the instrument? Let me...
I have one of these beauties, also w/o manual. I found a manual on the web - on the Conklin site, I think. I don't seem to have saved it (didn't find it),...
Thanks Matt: I finally got it. It's beautiful. Have you tweaked the innards? How do you have it strung? I'm thinking of F#-C ... the ... I've ... doesn't ... ...
I have mine B-F. I didn't tweak anything - didn't need to :-) F#-C would be interesting - I don't use the F string all that much. ... -- Matt A. Wood,...
Matt how did you like the string height? I lowered my strings..but I think the nut needs adjusting. I can't tap comfortably. I think I'll wait "till I get the...
I had to do a full setup: nut was too high (took it off and filed it down on the back with sandpaper), and I did a fret leveling job on it (my first :-). If...
Next question... Now I am confused about what gauge to use for the F# and who I should get it from. Conklin has a .165 (S.I.T. Power Steel) and a .150...
I believe La Bella is now making F# strings. Chances are that GHS does, too. Stew steelpulz <Steelpulz@...> wrote: Next question... Now I am confused...
Thanks for the infoeStew. I called La Bella and GHS. Neither has a .165 gauge or bigger. I think that LaBella (or was it D'Addario) said that they could do...
bummer, man. sorry. from my experience with both strings -- and these are opinions -- the Snakeskin is a fine string but it doen't hold its "edge" long. the...
I emailed knuckleguitarworks.com and got a response from Skip. He wrote tat he had .180 gauge F# string and recommended that over Conklin's .160 gauge. Does...
although technically subharmonics are not the notes we can reproduce on musical instruments. I should have written sub-lows. apologies, all! Stew steelpulz...
