"Free Shipping" isn't free.

"Free Shipping" isn't free.

Most of our products ship for free, but a few of them don't. Here's why.  Every once in a while, I get someone who asks (or complains) about how a particular item on the site has a shipping charge, and that the charge seems to them to be unreasonably high. For example, we sell a bass stand for around $58, and when you add it to the cart, the shipping (especially if you live on the west coast) could be as high as $40 or more. This might seem unreasonable to most - that's almost as much as th …

The Guide for Making an NS Design Bass Sound More Like an Authentic Upright

The Guide for Making an NS Design Bass Sound More Like an Authentic Upright

It's not what they were designed for, but here's how to do it. The electric upright basses from NS Design have become one of the more popular options for bassists, and for good reasons. Ned Steinberger's clean, modern design aesthetic is attractive and ergonomic.Are they a perfect "portable" substitute for your full-bodied acoustic upright? No, not really.

Some help you keep track of your stuff, others can save your bacon on a gig. For your enjoyment, and hopefully edification, here is the latest collection (some of these are from Mark as well.) I love the little Avery 05422 (1/2" x 1 3/4") removable self-adhesive labels (or Staples generic equivalent). I jot dates fo …

Your first instrument. Where do you begin, when looking for an upright bass?

Your first instrument. Where do you begin, when looking for an upright bass?

First-time prospective bass owner? It's time for "the talk."I talk to a lot of players who are searching for a first "real" bass for themselves. Usually, the conversation starts with, "I've been playing electric bass for years, and think it's time to make the jump to the upright bass, because I've always wanted one." Or, maybe it's a dialogue with a parent, on behalf of their child -- looking for a replacement for a rental or a school instrument -- and it's high time to get their kid a bass that …
