Clip the strings closer to the bridge so you have less to feed through. Also the other ends will be nice and long and you can coil them for easier disposal.
Adjusting the mic with headphones on was awesome!!!
Hell yes to your input jack idea!! Great lesson on the 5'er
Someone call the authorities Dave is collecting Skulls again!!!
Inexpensive , decent sounding , good little bass... You can Beat the shit out of them and they just want more... Many Blessings SMR
with different sizes of strings the over the string gauges do not work properly you have to use the under string gauge for it to be accurately radiused.
I have one of those Ibanez SR305-DX basses, Silver finish, quick-release bridge, and a stacked knob 2-band eq. Pretty meaty weight, and I absolutely love the tone.
I can believe he cut those strings lol
Great video.
I had to lower the Bridge pickup in mine.
I almost thought that was an SR505. The only did the bottom input jack in the mid to late 90’s.. after that input jack was on the front. I have a 1996 SR505 and I freaking love it. Fieldy use to use one..
Nice. I've got 2 SR 5 strings. An SR05 fretless and an SR1305PD. I really love the SR05. She has pedigree as well.
The 1305 is sweet but it's really a backup for my Q5.
As it happens I've recently taken to winding the G backwards myself; less of an angle to the nut. A bit OCD maybe but hey...
You're looking for a Switchcraft #228 right angle plug. It has a flat face you can glue some rubber to.
First five string I've seen him do in a while, if ever, or at least in quite a while.
my left ear enjoyed this video.
I've got two of those in 4 string and both of the necks are fucked up. The truss rod doesn't affect the 1,2 and 3 frets so when you back it off to where they play, you can shoot arrows with it. If you crank the rod so the 7-9 frets are playable the 3rd fret is a carter inch higher than any others.
Thanks mate
l love those sd1000 basses, I've got one that turned 30 this year. Dave I need to send her to you for some tlc.
Ibanez basses are usually solidly built. Even though they make most of their models in factories, the guys at Ibanez use some quality places to make their stuff so even with low end products the parts usually fit extraordinarily well together. Only set up and electronics on low end models tend to be shit. But once you go over the 500 €/£/$ price range you get pretty good work horses for your bass needs.
Just like with this bass right here. Electronics were the main problem and beyond that it was pretty smooth sailing I'd say. :)
Impressive, tuning work; but where do I get all the measurements instruments 😮
Good job 🎸
"What's the one where you lose your memory?" 😂😂😂
try heavy gauge 5 strings the b string is like the thickness of a bridge cable
I like mine at .145 and it does not wobble. Also the occasional drop A is possible. Only problem with such thickness is, that they're really boomy sounding at and over the 12th fret. That said I don't really play that high up on the B-string anyway so it suits me fine.
Insane Rotta id imagine the boominess, i play with lights and my b string still has a lot of body in its tone. ive heard of people swapping their b for a heavy one while keeping the last 4 (or 5) strings exclusively light. i either need a heavier b string or a good setup. dave would have a nightmare trying to work on my 6er though haha
sourcegamer101, Yeah I do that too, as in playing with a heavier b and the rest lighter. I particularly enjoy the so called balanced tension types of string sets, where you get progressively lighter gauges as you go. I used to use a brand called Kalium, but shipping them to Europe where I live has sadly gotten too expensive... D'Addario has balanced sets in their XL nickel wounds, but only for four strings, so you need to buy that separate fifth as a single. :P
I tend to play the low 4 strings of a 5 string set (B E A D) and tune them up a half step, they're like cables and it sounds great for metal but takes some getting used to
I'll second the recommendation for Kalium strings. Being here in the USA, they are competitively priced, especially considering nobody else makes em like that. I run the .150 balanced set on the Schecter in my profile pic. Great for tuning down to G.
If you want to help with the boominess, drop your pickups a bit on that side and EQ the lowest frequencies back a little bit. You'll still get the nice low hit, but it will tighten things up.
i wind the G backwards also on my Ibanez, reason is, the nut tends to break when wound the normal way like the other 4 tuners. Ive broke 2 nuts "lol" winding the G tuner the correct way, the angle of the G string is so tight it breaks the end of the nut at the G string. Right or wrong I dont know, but I do know on mine the only way is to reverse it or the nut breaks.
IV been watching ur videos..I'm trying to learn to setup and work on my axe's...I wish I knew more...ugh...Thanx for this tho
Hey Dave, on most Ibanez basses I believe the radius is metric. usually 400mm if I recall correctly, so about 15 inches
dave do more live streams !!.. when u gonna continue the 70s p bass ?. cheers from Argentina
I wish you were able to show the actual adjusting process to raise or lower the strings for the action desired and how you "measured" the necks straightness ( is that a word, lol). I want to try to lower my action as it is way too high and I simply have not seen how to raise and lower it at those lower settings. IF anyone knows of a video that shows this, please reply with a link. Again, I am new to this...What are the differences in an alan wrench and a hex... I have alan wrenches, do I need to get a hex set? If so, does anyone know the size of this bass or bass guitars in general? Last question, what was the size Alan used to adjust the neck straightness? THANKS for any pointers you can share--- THe local shop wants more to do this for me than I can pay....
Lisa Lisa I just messed with mine. Little Allen wrench you can do at the bridge to raise all the strings. And turn the neck adjust,bet if you have it around your neck turn it away from you. That will make it bend concave. Fixed mine perfect
Just look up videos on how to set up a bass guitar there are 100s of them and watch a few of em. Check for locking lugs on your bridge before trying to make any adjustments or you'll hate life (cause damage to the bass) always loosen the strings up from pitch so you don't have too much resistance as well.
amazing no one has an actual answer for the allen key size.
5mm I’m pretty sure
is this the ibanez that the tone knobs just kept turning?
yes
Hope you’re doing alright Dave
Get me home for Christmas, Davey.
Dave how do I get one of those cool Dave's world of fun stuff stickers ,like you have on your toolbox in the background? It would look really cool on my amp
One of those sitting right here ;) Awesome
Great video!
OH AND LOVED THE SKULLS IN THE WHEEL BARREL ,,,HAHAHAHA
Now you gotta do a 7 string guitar
A Cradle based on a guitar stand with real short legs and no neck cradle should do the trick
The problem with radious gauges is that they are too short to make it all the way across all 5 strings on a 5 string bass.
is there a video you have done on the measuring instruments you use to measure the string height and neck radius etc?
YOU ARE A TRIP DAVE!
Any idea about what size screws are holding the back cavity plate on the Ibanez Soundgear bass guitars?
Hey, I think I saw poor Yorick in that wheelbarrow. Or was it poor Uric?
Hi, I saw you did not adjust the truss rod for VDO shooting, you passed by to set radius so far what wrong, or do the same to 4 strings set up theory???
Happy St Patrick's day to all.
same to you Brian
What about a rubber beaker stopper? For your jack plug.
He wants to pad a right angle jack to leave it plugged in while it's on the bench I think some heavy automotive vacuum line could do this but I think over time it might rot and rub off onto instruments and maybe damage nitro finishes
Ok let me bring a few guitars to you to set up !
Time for a 5 Dave ?
So I guess, it's Dave's House of Basic Guitar Setups now, eh? Episode 13, "R we bored yet?" Don't worry Davey. I still like your commentary regardless. Gives me something to do while I painstakingly put a vintage Les Paul headstock back on top of a neck!!!! You should see that! procedure. Definitely too much swearing to put it up on you tube for sure!!
g
I have a Yamaha 5 string bass that has a radius of 23.6 inches, I dont have that gauge. Can I use a 12 instead?
lol dave either you are drunk or i am...
He reminds me of Kevin from the office.
hey, you didn't mention what gauge and which fret you used for the neck relief
Capo 1st fret then fret at the body joint usually around 17-18th fret them measure relief with feeler gauges (can be bought at automotive shops) anywhere from the 7th to the 9th fret fender has some number listed based off the radius of the board that are helpful guidelines for my 5ers with 16-20 inch radius I aim for between .012-.013 or relief myself if I tune to A standard on my 5er or 6 string I'll give it a little more .014-.016 on a four string usually fine at .012 unless it's a fender 9.5 radius then .013-.014
Get a knob Dave ! lmao
Fk ! Me !
What feeler guage are you using on the B string to measure relief? Thanks!
He used a 14 thousandths of an inch (0.014 in) feeler gauge
Wheel barrel of skulls ? I knew you had a dark side .....
the skulls are people that mess with guitars and don't know what the fuck there doing
GSR205
I Assume that Canadians celebrate St. Patrick's Day?
Is this guy Canadian? Where's this guy from?
Anthony Matthysz
Yep, Canadian
Dave would say that he lives on the right side of Ontario. Can't you hear the New York/Canadian accent?!
Dave is a child of Toronto's 1976 SCTV comedy guitar repair. Yep, no foolin'. He's unfamous as hell!...--Now---where's that swarmpland in Florida I got for sale??
Ok thanks, just wondering. He mentioned Edmonton, represent, that's why
Where can i buy an Ive been gooched sticker? hahaha
Ive never had the nerve to cut the strings. It's a hoarder behavior. I hang on to my previous set after I change them., they still look good, just don't sound good.
How many years before I change my bass strings?
Change bass strings?
I used to have a girlfriend that gave good skull but I was afraid I'd end up like the ones in DAVE'S wheelbarrow so I gave her up.
dementia,its a age thing believe me
Pls do guide for stupid people
ayye first
5 string basses for me just have an expensive thumb rest. Lol. I'm not that talented.
Learn a couple songs that require that low string and you might find more uses for it.
Diggin' in the graveyards again I see? Amnesia, Alzheimers, Dementia...all have the serious consequence of affecting your memory and future.
Guitar cords with right angle jacks..you can get them on Amazon.ca The brand is Mugig.This is the best noiseless guitar
cord I have ever owned. Sorry but I found this video boring.
