Based on German Warwicks (I have two) and EBMM SR5's (I've had a few) I really wouldn't pay too much attention to the scale length. I tried a Lakland Skyline 55-02 in Guitar Guitar recently and the B string on that example sounded awful to my ear. There are good and bad B strings in every scale length. I personally believe it's for mainly for marketing purposes.

Good price for one of these excellent pedals. @charlietuna -
Choose a 5 string bass for £500 (ish)

Yep, I've tried that position but just couldn't get on with it personally. Still, for anyone else they should give it a go. Might work for them 🤔 -

A five string Skyline 55-01 or 55-02 were always top of my list and more recently a G+L Tribute 2500 but that desire belongs to another earlier Post I put here on BC. For now it's finding a cheaper 5 to keep me going. -
Just seen these n YouTube.. look very interesting

Which one is this Rob?

I had a brainwave on how to remove those awkward furrell's without damaging the face side of your precious Bass Head. Insert a tapered dowel into face side of furell, rotate, and remove with furrell attached, it works a treat

Selling this lovely bass amp as i have been of the IEM fraternity for 5 years now and this is just going to waste. The original TTE 500 with the class A/B output as opposed to the class D of the TTE 501. Can go from from squeaky clean to old school valve amp warmth. Built in compressor that's surprisingly musical...pretty sure there's a valve dedicated purely to the compressor. Best to check the facts and figures from Markbass Used this with a couple of different cabs and I found heft of the sound and the sheer volume of this thing to be completely at odds with the 6kg weight. Naturally this was especially loud when paired with the Barefaced cab that I also have for sale. The picture of the two together is to show how well they fit should anyone be interested in both...the cab is not part of this sale The top is an open grille and your beer will spill in there if you place it on there, so please don't place it on there...after all, the drummer doesn't keep a pint on the floor tom. When I bought this used circa 2018 the two little bars on the front seemed to be on a wonk and haven't moved a bit since then. It seems to be a recurring theme for these amps but it never bothered me as it's only really noticeable if you inspect closely. As with the Barefaced cab, After 2021 this has had minimal use and has largely been powered up once a year to check all is still good. This was played through and turned up last night and all is still sounding fab. Comes with original carry bag, kettle lead and a couple of speakon cables. Collection with a cup of tea preferred from Warboys, Cambs PE28 but can post for £14 or possibly meet -

Thank you very much for your reply. Your comments are very interesting. especially as you've been lucky enough to try a Space. There are a lot of 'em for sale - new and used and the secondhand prices are slowly coming down. This is a little worrying. Has the market become flooded with them or is there another reason there are so many for sale less than a year old. Personally, I think Cort haven't done themselves many favours by producing the bass in just two colours. And me? I'm also a sucker for a gloss finish or a natural wood - especially spalted - I prefer a maple fretboard too. -
Thanks for the links - this extracted owner bit from a 2009 post helps a lot - cheers "Hello Everyone - Here is a shot of my Fender Thinline Bass. This one is from 2003. It was indeed a legit not-for-export model. The person I bought it from told me it did not sell well in Japan as they are more interested in classic styles and colors. Hence it's short run. The bass is a kind of a hybrid. Modern bridge, reverse-tuners, old-style P-bass neck (thinner at nut) and Telecaster style body. It has a woody tone and its quite loud unplugged. Sustains forever. Plugged in the tone is big and round with plenty of mids and highs as well. The only negative is that it is quite neck heavy. While sitting down you better hold on! The model number is TNB-110SPL (Thin Line Bass, 110,000 Yen, Special). They also made it in blue burst. This one is a Q serial number. Since One US Dollar is worth about 95 Yen today, the bass would list today in US Dollars at $1179. It came with the Standard Fender Japan gig bag. By the time you paid shipping (about $125) and got a legit case this wasn't cheap but worth every penny. It is an outstanding instrument, beautiful to look at and a pleasure to play. I have tried flatwounds and roundwounds on it and prefer the rounds."

Hi - No, saw it on ebay and was then directed by the seller to his Reverb listing where I got a bit of a reduction. I did list it myself back on Reverb some months ago and it was the only one for sale on Reverb... possibly worldwide!... but now have it as a keeper, hence trying to find out a bit more.

The practical difference being?

Playing punk with a pick - or any fast/hard music it’s a good technique to mute the E string. I only have small hands but I do it sometimes, works really well when you need it.

Hi @SamSandberg can I assume this has sold? Thanks. Chris -
I found this was pretty much eliminated when I got my BassRig SV pedal. An expensive fix but I am loving it.

@BaggyMan Has a space 5 up here @BC at what seems like a great price, I tried one at fairdeal in bham last year, it seemed like it was a solidly built "modern" vibe bass with good smooth tunning headless hardware, might have been because it was hanging in an AC'ed show room but the neck was bone dry and im not a fan of the openpore satin finish type...had a few basses with it before and I found if you look at them they get marks/dents.....i pref a nice 80's lolipop highgloss

Does Your Covers Band Change Songs? What Changes and Why?
Lozz196 replied to Sean's topic in General Discussion
In my classic rock band we’re pretty much as near as we can get to the originals. We decided to do that to make us better musicians, rather than dumb bits down. Only real changes are endings where the original fades, added keyboards, and minus second guitars. But structure wise we play them as recorded. - Today

Evah Pirazzi Slap/Gold A string one month old. I bought this from Rabbie a week ago to try it but turns out it's not for me. £50 posted. -
I see an EQ bypass switch but not a passive/active switch.

I think Ashdown are doing good things of late with more of their range being built in-house in the UK and probably to order. They also appear to be standardising the appearance of their most popular ranges with the ice blue look that was previously reserved for ABM. If I could be tangential for a moment, The New UK built RBM was recently preceded by a PBM ( portable bass magnifier ) also in ice blue, also made in the UK, and which is I think a replacement for the Ashdown Ant. If being UK built makes their amps even more reliable, and with longer service lives, then it can only be a good thing IMHO. My own rack mount ABM 600 which was a UK custom shop order a few years ago still makes me smile every time I use it knowing it was made here in the UK, and that legendary support if needed is just a phone call away.( it hasn't needed any) I'm also still using a twenty eight year old ABM 400 that still has the majority of its original component parts and which still works perfectly. It was made at a time all their stuff was UK made, so maybe there is something to that? I more than likely won't be around in twenty eight years time to see if folks are still gigging UK built RBM's regularly but I suspect there will still be a few Ashdown amps from this era knocking around that Ashdown will still be able to offer some support for whether Chinese made or UK made. 🙂
