It looks like Warman don't make a 5 string soapbar although their website doesn't give any dimensions

As do Zephyrs and Grinds. If you can hold off ordering anything for 24 hours, I've a box of empty pickup shells in the hut; good chance I've zephyr shells. Plenty pickups can be hidden below an empty shell.

Oooo that’s good to know, totally missed that option!

Ahhh I assumed the GX would be the same as the GT which gives quite a few options for assigns.

Mark at Classicandcoolguitars is a UK dealer for Sandberg, may be worth seeing if he can help on this?

They're actually not but this reminds me that it does have a pair of pickups from my old Zephyr. They are standard size but the 4 string International has 5 string pickups

I'm looking to purchase a black or white scratch plate for a Cali II TM4. There are listed on the Sandberg store but shipping to UK seems unavailable. Any ideas before I go down the ebay route? Cheers Ian

Welcome Andy

I've bought a couple of knock off Fender Jazz/Precision necks in the last year, but have never gone the whole hog with a completed guitar. I'd sold a few books pre-Christmas, had a little surplus and decided to take the plunge. I've always adored the original Gibson Futura shape (with the split headstock), so pulled the trigger on this: So long as the body and neck are OK, everything else is dispensable. Gawd help me.

Hi I’m Andy from wales. ive been playing bass for about ten years, currently using squire jazz, sterling sub, and a vintage 5 string(music man style) ash down mag head with Harkte cabs and a boss gt-1b. I’m in 2 bands (1 is just a side project for when the main is quiet) general pubs and clubs

Keyboard players who lean heavily on the lower keys are the worst. It turns everything to mud. They're supremely guilty of playing what sounds best when they're alone.

One of the massive advantages of having everything going through the desk & FoH? And if the venue says can you turn it down a bit / take it up you can oblige at the push of a slider.

I should add that the USB loopback method works when you're using the recording device as the source of the music too. I have no idea what would happen if you streamed the backing audio over Bluetooth from a second device and tried to record that and the bass from the USB connected device. I'm almost certain it wouldn't result in death or, indeed, anything other than minor injuries, but remember, safety first, wear rubber gloves and wellington boots, or anything similar available from your local M&S&M.

You can also try the tested and proven swing method to untwist the cable, should you find that it has become more twisted than you are comfortable with.

Well, I've had "the discussion" with Mrs Rocks. "Our house isn't big enough for a double bass." We do live in a very small 2 bed bungalow, and I have already crammed 6 electric basses, 3 electric guitars, 2 acoustic guitars, 5 GK amps, 2 Barefaced cabs, and a vintage Fender Bassman 50 head and 15^ cab into it. I can see her point. Rob

Im about to put this fascinating volume onto Marketplace if it catches anyone’s interest… PS Guaranteed no Jim Davidson content - if I see any, I will tear the offending page out!

Yes - try before you buy though, there's quite a few variants and you might find a Speedmaster or Bobber suits you better than a T120 or Speed Twin. The 1200 engine has plenty of torque.

Hi guys, I'm thinking of going from a gt-1b to a gx10. Have anyone used this for a bass? I don’t particularly use many fx (a little chorus, drive and compression mainly) live but as I’m doing more in ear gigs I’m looking for something that I can get a better amp sound with, while having something small enough to make it easy to carry. Thanks for any advice

Take a look at Tracey Tools. More woodworking focused. Proops, if still going, sometimes have good stuff. I think I got some Vallorbe files from them (the best )

I built my home practice Valeton into a board. Most of the time I use the Valeton but it needs a wall wart and uses jacks, whereas the quad cortex gig rig that I sometimes use at home for setting patches etc needs a power cable and xlrs. I hate getting on my hands and knees behind the chair to mess with the cables! Korg pitchblack custom, Valeton gp100, Thomann DI. Pedaltrain nano, Cooks Adam. Occasional wireless bugs.
