Had some extra time this morning so, I got a little practice in early! 🤓

Here's a sloppy #dailyPractice #musicjam on my 8-string #electricBass (without it being electrified).

I had to hammer in the bottom 3 strings. Gave up on the octave bottom & found a string that only took a few pounds before cooperating. lol

Need to find a thai wrap to hold the strings in place at the nut. The top thick string is an octave below what it should be. I'm afraid to go higher until I have something to alleviate tension b/c the nut is already broken there from last time...

It's tuned:
G1
G0
C2
C1
G2
G1
C3
C2

At least, it's supposed to be.

Never used the top string on a 4-string w/ drop C. Now I have ext. range below. Played old riffs on it. Awesome to be able go lower!

Woo! All my custom string sets from #DRstrings finally came in. Along with the tapewounds from #LaBella. Maybe tonight I'll throw them on.

Also, bought a Greco GS940 #semihollow #shortscale #bass that I'm going to convert into a #fretless #cello. That'll arrive in a few weeks.

Another #electricBass will be on it's way soon. Details to follow. 😜

Oh. I decided on a whim to buy a new used #Behringer graphicEQ and #DBX compressor+limiter+noise gate. I feel like I stole them they were so cheap but, I know they were sitting around for a long time.

Traded in a hard case that came w/ my #Ibanez bass.

It's certainly been a #NGD #newGearDay !

I have an epiphany. No, not the web browser.

#GHSstrings half round on the bottom of my 6-string #guitar. Make it G# standard. The rest are flatwounds. .22g wound topmost

Double up courses a la #12string but, only the top 3. Plain (neon white) #DRstrings +1 octave.

Tailpiece & bridge rattle. I adjusted what I could. Slightly better.
Replace w/ #Bigsby vibrato & #Schaller bridge. File custom ridges & lube for strings.
Replace nut. Black natural material.

I'm debating turning my #GLguitars Fallout #shortscale #bassguitar into a #PiccoloBass. Tuned as:
B1 - .024
E2 - .036
A2 - .046
D3 - .060
G3 - .080

The tension would likely be closer to that of a longscale but, it'd still be one octave up with thinner strings. With #DRstrings, Neons, the bottom two would be roundcore bass while the rest hexcore guitar strings.

With a #Kahler *vibrato* bridge / whammy bar, it'd certainly be a unique, odd in-between instrument.
