    If the specs on the websites (german and english, UK and USA) are correct, the NovaTone enclosures are ridicolous heavy (I calculated the lbs here, on their page only the kg are written): 112: 23.4 kg (51.6 lb.) 210: 33.9 kg (74.4 lb.) 115: 35.1 kg (77.4 lb.) 212: 38.1 kg (84.0 lb.) 410: 54.6 kg (120.4 lb.) I contacted the german G4M-support and they don't seem to understand the problem. On Talkbass is also a great diskussion about these numbers. The 410 would be 11kg heavier as the original D410XLT, which was a heavy beast.

    I didn’t really give them the time of day until I randomly bought my Mustang. A/B-ing with my two main basses at the time (Celinder J update and L2000) I found it consistently cut through the mix better, sounded fatter, more expressive, more comfortable and lighter weight! I’m really enjoying them now, and like you say, they’re easier to have around the house, noodling in front of the TV or in the office. With different strings and pickup options they can sound every bit as growly and alive as a normal scale bass, ime. I had written them off as dead and plonky but I must admit that the Musicmaster will be pointed towards that sound which I have come to appreciate more and more for certain music.

    D'oh. First shortscale I ever played was a Musicmaster in a recording studio somewhere in mid-Wales where I had a bit of a jam some 40 years ago. For decades the name 'Musicaster' was in my head. I left my solid gold bodied Sekonda there that was my great-uncle's In 2018 I discovered my Squier Jaguar SS that brought back the memory of it. Would still fancy one, pretty sure it was off-white.

    Compliments, I have this bass also and like it a lot, you could mention that it is a hollow body and therefor very light, it has a Delano pickup and preamp with mid-sweep.

    Virtually new Fender Bassman 100 cover from Roqsolid, i got it to use while my flightcase was being manufactured so was only used briefly. Its a little dusty but will wipe. They're about £65 new + shipping Cover is in Hope Valley, happy to post within UK, probably gonna cost a tenner just for how small it doesn't fold up.

    Interesting. I wonder if the oil finish rather than paint plays a role. Started on a p bass and have just stuck with them. Now when I improvise what comes out is more chordal melodic phases. Maybe now a slimmer neck and a warm sounding bridge pick-up is needed.

    I had a mate who used to live in Wymondham, so I spent some time there occasionally. There was a rehearsal place called the Woodshack he used to use, I went there a couple of times. They used to have various flyers and ads for local events on display. Maybe start there (if its still there of course, this was about 10 years ago) I'm sure the staff can advise on the local scene. EDIT- There was also a place called Plug Studios in Norwich. Maybe try there too.

    Cheers for the heads up bud. I did see the sadowsky strings. They have silver, blue and black label. I’ll check the Warwick also.

    Great colour, never seen this before!

    What would you recommend for budget home use? I'm thinking £300-400 second hand, decent sounding piano & organ with drawbars, reasonable weight to the keys. I'm thinking of moving on the old acoustic upright piano and an ancient Yamaha PF-85, so there will hopefully be a bit of space saving too

    Yeah it’s a 73 Musicmaster. I think k they sound really cool with flats. Unfortunately most YouTube demos are recorded very poorly though there are some decent ones out there:

    Warwick Red Nickels at Bax Music for under £4 Be aware that the .135 B string is 'challenging' to get into the ferrule on Cort string thru designs. Should be ok on a normal bridge though. (Or throw the B away and just use them as a 4 string set of course) Warwick 46301 M Red Strings Nickel-Plated Steel 5-String Low | Bax Music https://share.google/6a8rldbG7NIeGN4ah

    Used to occasionally run into similar problems. Game changer for me was putting a Micro Thumpinator on my board. It cuts out all of useless frequencies below 37Hz (I think) which suck all the power out of your amp and cause the drivers to flap about, potentially causing severe damage. Wouldn't be without it now because it focusses the sound right where you need it. I'd also look at pushing the mids in the EQ to try to get some more cut through.

    Ferrofish B4000+ Organ Module Hammond Brilliant little organ module from Ferrofish that makes any midi controller into a Hammond organ complete with drawbars, reverb, rotary speaker and overdrive. It’s really solidly made all steel construction with a small but clear display to show your way through the presets and variations. You can use it to save your own sounds or as a live organ using the drawbars. You can attach a control pedal to it for the rotary effect and it has USB and midi. It is also designed to be used with two controllers and a set of bass pedals if you want the full B3 experience but it doesn’t take four roadies to shift it! High quality and still being manufactured in Germany it comes boxed with manual PSU and USB lead. I’ve used it occasionally for gigs when space has been tight but mainly for rehearsals rather than carting my Nord around so I can use the in house controller. Really handy little unit. Great condition. See specs here and sound samples, lots of videos online - https://www.ferrofish.com/b4000-organ/?v=7885444af42e&cn-reloaded=1 I can post in the UK at buyer’s cost. Note you are buying the module, PSU and USB lead no controller keyboard is included.

    I’ve five pairs of headphones all of which have strengths and weakness and none of which are in any real way better than any of the others. Same with hifi speakers (four sets) 🤔

    44 years ago, after my summer job as a 16 years old student, I bought a second hand ... electric guitar with an amp, and not knowing a damn thing about their value I paid them more than the new price, but it was locally, so I had IT! The seller showed me how to play the Smoke on the Water riff and I played it every day trying to learn the rest of the song and some chords on an out of tune guitar as I had no tuner except that kazoo thingy producing an A, but my ears weren't that good back then, so it was an equal approximative non Bach tuning... 🤪 Then 2 years later a friend of mine forgot and lost the pile of records I lent him in the train, and the Chrome (remember that band?) Box was impossible to find as it was a limited edition, so he gave me his Maya EB-2 as a compensation and it started it all. I made a few hundreds gigs over this period, but never reached @Happy Jack 1000 goal (see what I did here). But a few months ago, I definitely focused on piano, and never touched a bass again, and certainly never will again. So 2025 has been a year of musical changes for me. That's life.

    They've got Warwick Red 5 string sets for £3.84 as well. They're actually ok too. And rumour has it that the Sadowskys are just rebranded Warwicks. If you want DR strings try Strings and Beyond. They have 25% off until the New Year and they're cheaper than over here to start with. Even with shipping it's a chunk less.
