It's a relief to know Dave is back and doing fine after pulling through a long bout of Disney.

[@lbcsprints]

Since your reading the comments now, lol I would like to say thank you for teaching me how to set up my own guitars. I watch all the content you post and I learn something all the time. Have a good one:)

[@russellzauner]

I will probably never be able to afford the instruments I want to own or even try, so the only way I figure I get them is by finding ones that other people can't be bothered to work on or somehow think are unfixable and sell for way too low. This is my main bass/guitar set up learning channel, since Dave seems to have read the original comment, I'd like to also say that I very much appreciate the work involved in publishing all these videos along with the abject candor and complete lack of upselling.

[@tallchap8070]

Hear, hear. Watching these videos showed me a lot of shortcuts, and tricks for getting a perfect setup. Without a lot of gimmicky tools from those-who-should-not-be-named. Kudos to Dave.

[@kerrynance1777]

Maybe the owner has a bad cord. It's a cheap fix. So glad to see you again. You tube gets boring without all the fun stuff. Rock on

[@PastelComGini]

I think so, or his ambient is full of EMI, or his amp is wrecked, or something. Man, I had a crazy problem here, in the beginning of the night I had horrible EMI. Really horrible. After months I realized it always started when my wife turned the lights of the TV place on. This exact circuit was wired "wrong", they got a phase from another circuit, so it forned a big loop of wire, instead of a pair going together. This was my phantom buzz, once I rewired the circuit, it's gone.

[@theshotgunscientists]

Holy hell Dave that bass is just like what Cliff Burton of Metallica used shortly before his death. I’ve been wanting one for years. They are very expensive though. Anyway awesome video as usual.

[@JustPlayingBass]

Cliff Burton replica bass

[@aaronstonebeat]

I shielded a reasonably expensive bass for a guy once because he had these intermittent bouts of hum. Afterwards he told me things had improved but the mysterious hum still occured at lower levels. Eventually he discovered the hum was caused by a grass mowing robot; the system had a wire around his home to tell the robot how far it could go. The signal in that wire when the robot was actually moving caused the hum in his bass. :-)))

[@andrewmuelleranantababaji8073]

Great Story imagine invisble fence for dogs does too

[@russellzauner]

one guy took his portable amp and walked around his house until he found a faulty transformer on a pole and made the power company fix it - it was ready to fail, so it was actually pretty good thing he found it.

[@sira.scottascot8865]

That's top quality stuff. A bass that deserves more love, for sure. An 80's classic that was pretty state-of-the-art for a mass produced bass in the early 80's. Pretty sure they aided in the growing popularity of chiropractic practices as well.

[@bluesingmusic3443]

Glad you're back. I had a hum on everything, when the dryer or washer, or TV or whatever were running you could hear it. I bought a Furman Rack Rider, Power Conditioner(or something like that), it has 9 electrical jacks. It works through capacitive discharge actually. Cleaned up all my stuff. Best $40 I ever spent. (Back in 2008 I think) I'd go down to the basement to get the proper nomenclature, but you get the idea. I think the term for the computer stuff (yes i know its a technical term) is "Planned Obsolescence" (job security for the programmers.)

@Dave's World of Fun Stuff The reason why these things change, in my opinion, is that there are a bunch of desk jockey types that did the last "NEW VERSION" of this stuff and they are feeling the pinch of "well we havent done anything lately so the Boss is up my back, so I gotta do something to make it different to save my job" scheme again!!!!

[@jamesfetherston1190]

Funny, I just finished putting together an old Aria Pro II RSB bass (from early 80s) that I have had for 30+ years. I never played it much, but decided to refinish it, recontour the body a bit, redesign a pick guard, dyed the natural ash and gave it a nitro finish, new Fender ‘62 pickups, new pots cap, tuner and bridge. Needs to be built up in the pocket I think to get more manageable action. Sounds great now, and looks a bit cooler.

Hi Dave, thanks to your videos I finally managed to take care of all my instruments and actually understanding how things should be done right. Can we know something a little more about your background as a luthier and guitar tech? Also what's the best advice you would give to young guitarists and musicians in these recent years?

[@turnfordguitars]

The older versions of the sb bass had the batteries under the electrics cover. Don't know why they changed it!

[@sbrown1953]

@8:33 The computer nerds are in cahoots with the grocery stores, Lowes, and others. They have a backroom agreement to relocate everything just so they can keep you looking in the store so long you feel obligated to buy _anything_ just so you won't look dumb. But the _real_ kick in the nuts is when they discontinue something you've developed a long relationship with.

[@theanarcho-luthierist2882]

boy that takes me back, i had an aria pro bass (different model) when i was a teenager. my cousin and i had a punk rock cover band lol.. anyway, that band came to an abrupt end when that bass got stolen..

[@Avonidsed]

The little switch sounded like either a mids scoup or a coil split.

[@turnfordguitars]

The switch is to turn the pre amp on/off.

[@NoobGamePlusGOW]

Cliff Burton made this bass famous.

[@manoffunk]

Actually it was famous many years before that. In the UK everyone had them, they were all over tv, and even Jack Bruce played one! - and so did I, I wish I hadn't sold it. 😔

[@71bassg]

this one is a reissue,i had a Aria Sb black n gold like cliff used ,it was'nt active.I think this one may be a korean reissue? which is a bit of both Aria's cliff had used although i seem to recall the original active SB1000 had dot inlays vs the cats eye's of the black n gold which was passive.

My first bass in 1969 was an Aria copy of the Hofner Beatle bass. It was complete junk. Soon enough I had a Gibson EB0 and then a P bass. Don't have the EB0 or P bass any more but I still have that Aria after fifty years.

[@SilverKnife0311]

I had the guitar version. The NightWarrior series from the 1980's. 2 Things I noticed was They never came out with active pickups for either bass or guitar at the time so it has to be installed not that long ago. And the second is the battery cavity covers were defiantly made within the last 10 years. The Bass looks great though, makes me miss my night warrior.

[@turnfordguitars]

A lot the sb basses were active. The sb1000 was one!

Couple days late but hope this input may help. I have bad wiring in my house coupled with noisy electronics that present at amplifier. Can’t say for sure since I don’t know what this bass players situation is like, but willing to bet a power conditioner would do wonders.

[@mikedonnellan4937]

In the software development biz we call that constant (and for the end user pointless and counterproductive) churn "continuous development/continuous integration," aka "DevOps." Big shops have for some reason concluded that DevOps is a Good Thing, where software creation and deployment are modeled after, say, an oil refinery. Crude goes in one end and saleable products come out the other end, world without end. Or perhaps the source model is sewage treatment. Crap in, slightly less objectionable crap out. Or not.

[@brucesahroian1482]

Dave! Maybe its the cable the person is using that has a "problem" making grounding issues!!!!

[@oldfriend327]

Hi Dave thank you so much. You did say you were going to make a video based on some people's comments. Can I ask you for your opinion to be included in that video? My curiosity is this. Have you noticed in all your years of playing and set up repair work there being any noticeable different between guitars/basses that either have or do not have these "Graphite Reinforcement Rods" in the neck and if so what have you have noticed? The reason why I ask is because there is some controversy with these things in the guitar manufacturing and luthier worlds. Some companies absolutely refuse to do it, some have it as standard, and some have it as option. Thank you if you are able to talk about this a little bit in whatever video you decide to make about comments in your videos.

[@johngeddes7894]

They make the neck stiffer. More tension: higher pitch. Some never notice the difference, but some with good ears do notice. Some claim it creates dead spots in the neck. That could be from the wood itself. Some claim that the carbon fiber stiffeners deaden the tone, while the steel ones create some resonance. I don’t know for sure about any of these things, but Collings uses spring steel stiffeners in addition to their truss rods, and they produce consistently good tone in their guitars. More than most builders.

[@Bob-Whiting]

@Dave's WoFS Stupid question #1: Did you try unplugging the cable from the Bass? Some tricky guys use a N.O. jack that closes a contact to turn ON the electronics and that darn Red LED. Of course you already knew this, but we are both getting older and... you know. Cheers and thanks for returning!
