I've seen a LOT of people do this. -
Well damn, that sounds monstrous even without knowing what the low B sounds like. Definitely something I will be pondering but I'm not in a position to much else for the moment I'm afraid. -
Resurrection this thread and I’m using the LM IV and it definitely works for classic and modern rock. The old school control allows warmth and vintage feel I think they pair well with their own cabs as the EQ frequencies are different to other brands Playing a PBass with a pick with mine and it sounds good Previously I’ve used Ashdown and Ampeg and it’s definitely as good if you want your actual bass tone to shine

Would love a torzal and would get that off you in an instant if only they hadn't forgotten the B string
-
If only I didn't need a new cabinet first....nice amp.. Best of luck with the sale. -
this is my new Torzal on a stand), but the sound is identical, it will give you some idea, it outside & a iPhone(ignore the singing ..ha) -
I'm still in, although I'm being taunted by a bass on Facebook Marketplace, but mainly to scavenge the parts that are on, then replace them with standard parts and move it on. Is that really buying a bass, or just stocking my parts drawer for the future? 🤔😁

Selling Pigtronix Philosopher’s Tone compressor/sustainer pedal. I bought this, along with few other pedals, new, a little while back, directly from David Koltai (Pigtronix founder) as part of a large endorsement deal. This pedal is great and I have two of these ! (Selling this one pictured. ) This comp can do quite a few things really really great: - ‘always on” type of transparent pedal. That is how I used it ! Both on electric AND double bass. Expanding on dynamic range is crucial for me, but also have enough of an oomph when I need to whilst not loosing anything along the way, without the ducking or digital clipping of transient . - ‘Squash’ - Ive used it on a hiphop production where this was really ideal. Getting all the lows and also thickness of the bass with so much headroom ! ! - Space ! YES ! This is a really board friendly pedal and it has been strapped to my boards for as along as I know. - Ive used it with my pbass and with a 5 Spitfire GB bass and double bass - absolutely outstanding on all fronts ! Plenty other features which I didn't use but I know some folks really digging: Is the grit and treble. For that top slap and some dirt etc ! ! - Optical Compressor / Sustainer – delivers extremely smooth, transparent sustain without squashing dynamics. - this will sustain for ever ! - Blend Control – lets you mix your dry signal with compressed tone, keeping natural attack while extending sustain. - Low-Noise Circuitry – one of the quietest compressors in its class, even at high sustain settings. - True Bypass Switching – preserves tone when the pedal is off. I was sure I had the box for it ,, but clearly I dont,, if I ‘ll find it before sale I’ll add it ofcourse. Most of the wear is where the pedal knobs meet the underneath of the pedal board foam. This pedal as stored below deck. Does not come with a lead (didn't on the original either) and I’ve fed it 18v via cioks. ( it’ll take 12v-18v. I recommend 18V.. more is more ,, ) Price: £70 (Lowest, like for like, UK, I could find) Condition: Very Good Collection: Brighton or London. or can post within the UK (tracked and insured, at your expense.(will be heading upnorth 23/24/25/ August so can meet along M1/M6 or Meet along the way or outside Manchester or nearby cities.) Feel free to ask any questions Thanks -

Bump for price drop before it goes to Bass Direct. Now £1800. -
Setup or string choice probably . In 20 years of Stingray 5s tuned AEADG (3 in total, currently a 2007 HS) they've been excellent. Spector Euro 5LX is great too. My first vifer was the first MTD Kingston, it sounded warm and chocolatey, not big and tight what I was after.

It wasn't me who pronounced the alleged "showboating" as unmusical... Just because something doesn't float your boat doesn't make it "Unmusical", though the dictionary definition of unmusical is also deeply unhelpful: 1. not musical; deficient in melody, harmony, rhythm, or tone. 2. acoustically and aesthetically harsh on the ear; strident; dissonant; cacophonous. 3. not fond of or skilled in music. According to my mother, a piano teacher, just about all rock and pop music is unmusical. Many folks would find most free or improvisational jazz "acoustically and aesthetically harsh on the ear", but this fails to say which ear. If it's mine, that's not true. Many others would disagree, but that's taste - one man's beautiful music is another's nails on a blackboard. So as a result I wouldn't say something I didn't like, whether it's showey-offey or just plain old Black Lace, was unmusical - but perhaps not to my taste. Or after a couple of beers, a steamy pile'o'sh!te... -
Price drop to £40 -
I have a couple similar to these but they are blinding, so dont use them much. But a diffuser would sort that out but I don't know where to get one time for a search

What are your irrational prejudices? I have some bonkers ones...

Not a fan of milky eyes, I prefer mine black. -
No problem, cheers for answering. -
Thanks, but these are not applicable to the situation - Hipshot Ultralites are screw fit bushings and the spacers are simple round rings which fit entirely inside the tuner hole and go around the supplied screw fit bushing to fill out the gap: https://btnmusic.co.uk/products/hipshot-licensed-ultralite-adapter-bushings The product you linked are press fit bushings which sit proud of the surface of the headstock and are for "traditional", non threaded tuners.

Warwick Thumb NT 5 string without a doubt, ACG Krell is very close, with MM SR5 as a very decent runner up. The Thumb is definitely "thunderous" but you'll need backline/PA support capable of accurately reproducing that low fundamental. I had a Barefaced Big Twin T that was absolutely brilliant. All of these are 34" scale and I tend to use 130 B strings, I've played 125 too, doesn't seems to make much difference. Alan Cringean quite rightly identifies rigidity of construction as being vital for sustain and clarity, which jibes with what many people are saying about build quality and construction. That said, I played a 5 string Steinberger which didn't sound great, but had huge rigidity. I'd go play some good 2nd handers, you can't afford to get into Fodera, Alembic etc territory, but there are plenty of very good old basses around for £2500 ish, my thumb was about that I think. In theory, any decent luthier's work should produce a B string of quality, but there's more to a great 5 string than a big B.

I mix finger and pick playing depending on the song, so my focus is more on getting the balance right between the two with a single amp setting, and bringing out the differences I want to hear with the pick. So I probably make some different choices than I would if I did everything with the pick. I like relatively light picks (Dunlop Ultex triangles in 0.88mm), specifically to bring out the attack click. I always favour the neck pickup with a pick (on a bass with Jazz style wiring), tone control back just a little for an older feeling rock tone, or tone control up and a light overdrive for a brighter, "let's pretend it's a Ric" tone on one tune.
